7. Calostigia phiara sp. nov. (pi. XVIII, fig. 9). 



$ , 30 mm. 



Structure closely as in conchulata Prout (supra). Shape and facies 

 more as in Eupliyia altispex Prout. Face brown, mixed with black. 

 Palpus brown, at base whitish. Vertex and thorax mottled whitish and 

 brown. Abdomen whitish with dark irroration and some brown dorsal 

 spots. Legs nearly concolorous. 



Fore wing glossy white with a tinge of brown ; markings dark grey- 

 brown, in costal region (especially the basal patch) a little brighter and 

 more red-brown ; basal patch dentate outward subcostally and bluntly 

 bent outward in middle ; median band 6 mm. broad at costa, 3 at hind 

 margin, its proximal edge angled inward at fold, its distal slightly 

 incurved at R 2 , rather acutely angled behind R 3 , then oblique inward to 

 M 2 ; celldot small, black ; distal shades similar to those of altispex, 

 termen posteriorly as dark distally to subterminal as proximally ; 

 terminal line thick, slightly interrupted at and midway between veins ; 

 fringes dark proximally, less so distally, with a fine paler dividing-line. 



Hind wing with DC weakly biangulate ; glossy-whitish, with the 

 markings of underside very faintly showing ; termen with dark paired 

 dots in posterior part only ; fringe grey-brown, slightly paler than on 

 fore wing but similarly divided. 



Underside similar, except in its less brown colour, smaller cellspots, 

 less inbent postmedian, and whiter subterminal, to that of Eupliyia 

 altispex; terminal line and fringes nearly as above. 



Congo Beige : East side of Semliki River, Ruwenzori, 2300 m., 

 November, 1919. (T. A. Barns.) 



Except in absence of green colouring rather similar to Xantliorhoe 

 argenteolineata Auriv. (Schwed. Zool. Exped. Kilim., (9) p. 46, t. ii, 

 f. 17), which has dentate-ciliate $ antenna, non-biangulate disco- 

 cellulars, etc.
