142 New Lepidoptera collected by Mr. T. A. Barns 



The distal margin of the hind wing is nearly smooth, not crenulate 

 as in the type of the genus (clavaria Haio). 



5. Larentia altipeta sp. nov. (pi. XVIII, fig. 6). 



? , 31 mm. 



Head and body grey-brown with some black irroration and in places 

 (especially on the face, vertex and breast) strongly irrorated with 

 white ; first joint of palpus white. Abdomen above with white (dorsal) 

 and black (subdorsal) spots on anterior segments. 



Fore wing shaped and coloured as in monticolata Auriv. (Schwed. 

 Zool. Exped. Kilim. (9) 44, t. 2, f. 23), brown clouded with velvety- 

 black, especially at the borders of the basal and median areas ; markings 

 closely similar to those of monticolata, differing as follows : outer edge 

 of basal patch almost straight, only with a slight inward curve between 

 fold and SM 2 ; proximal edge of median area rather less oblique at 

 costa, but rather more oblique at hind margin ; distal edge of median 

 area not dentate (except minutely on SM 2 ), formed almost as in 

 sjostedti Auriv. ; a more pronounced subtriangular black patch between 

 SC 5 and R 3 , bounded anteriorly by a white line ; oblique apical line 

 sharply differentiated ; fringe strongly chequered (lost in the only 

 example of monticolata, known to me). 



Hind wing grey, more feebly marked than in monticolata. 



Euwenzori, 3,000 m., Christmas, 1919. (T. A. Barns.) 



L. sjostedti Auriv. (loc. cit. p. 45, t. 2, f. 20), not so well figured 

 and described as most of Aurivillius' Kilimanjaro species, is unknown 

 to me and perhaps still nearer to altipeta, though the figure does not 

 at all suggest it. In any case it cannot be identical, for — inter alia — 

 it is said to have the proximal edge of the median area " almost 

 straight between the costal margin and the middle of cellule lb." In 

 the species compared the $ antenna is not pectinate, but I suspect it 

 will prove to be pectinate in altipeta, as in inaeqnata Walk. 



6. Calostigia conchulata sp. nov. (pi. XVIII, fig. 15). 



$ , 23 mm. 



Head spotted with brown ; face pale ochreous-grey with small 

 projecting cone of scales. Palpus about two, strong, with projecting 

 hair-scales ; mixed with dark fuscous on outer side. Antenna pectinate 

 from the third to about the twenty-fourth joint, with rather long, well- 

 separated branches, distally merely dentate and ciliate. Thorax and
