152 Netv Leioidoptera collected by Mr. T. A. Barns 



Fore wing with the bases subtranslucent whitish, rather glossy, 

 only becoming orange at the extremities and the veins. 



Hind wing with the band orange-yellow, not at all red. 



Underside also with the colouring somewhat paler than in the 

 Nyassaland type. 



Lake Tshohoa, Euanda District, Tanganyika Territory, August, 

 1919 (T. A. Barns). 4 $ $ (including the type) and 1 ? allotype (quite 

 similar except for the shorter antennal pectinations) in coll. Joicey. 



18. Terina tanyeces sp. nov. (pi. XVIII, fig. 21). 



$ , 34 mm. 



Face yellowish-white, purer white at lower edge, the upper part 

 with a large central grey cloud. Palpus white, second joint tinged 

 with yellowish, third joint mixed with black-grey. Vertex and collar 

 black-grey. Antenna black. Thorax and abdomen yellowish-white. 

 Coxae and femora mixed with yellow ; fore and middle legs largely 

 blackened above ; hind tarsus slightly tinged with grey. 



Fore wing white, proximally suffused with yellow ; a small golden- 

 orange basal patch in front of cell and slight longitudinal streaks or 

 lines of the same in and behind cell ; an ample but very irregular 

 black border, commencing in a very fine line at base of costa, broaden- 

 ing so as to cross SC at 4 — 5 mm. from base, distally occupying on an 

 average about half of the wing, but with very long teeth of the ground- 

 colour projecting in cell (almost to DC) and behind M 2 from its origin 

 (tapering to a point on fold close to term en) and a subsidiary curved 

 tooth running out from the last-named in front of M 2 near its origin ; 

 a long oval white spot between the radials, nearer to DC than to 

 termen ; fringe black. 



Hind wing white ; a black apical patch, about 5 mm. long, prox- 

 imally bounded behind by SC 2 , distally reaching half-way to K 1 ; a 

 much smaller black terminal patch (large spot) on M 1 ; fringe white, 

 slightly encroached upon by the two black patches. 



Fore wing beneath with the orange basal patch rather larger ; the 

 white ground-colour more extended in posterior part of wing, absorbing 

 the black prong between the two posterior teeth and a great part of 

 the black hind-marginal border (which, however, remains slightly 

 greyish by transparency). Hind wing beneath as above, but with a 

 very small orange costal patch at base.
