258 New Geometridae and Dioptidae in Joicey Collection 



copious ; the face (except a narrow lower part, which remains white), 

 third joint of palpus and inner side of fore leg much more densely 

 irrorated, looking almost concolorous, a fillet between the antennae 

 clearer white. Antennal pectinations about two. Hind tibia with 

 terminal spurs only. 



Fore wing with two indistinct dark lines, chiefly expressed by dots 

 on the veins and by the absence of irroration on their reverse edges ; 

 antemedian at nearly one-third, excurved ; postmedian from three- 

 fourths costa to hindmargin near tornus, very gently (scarcely) excurved 

 in the greater part of its course, slightly incurved behind M 2 , noticeably 

 projecting on SM 2 . Hind wing with only the postmedian line, which 

 is rather more proximally placed than on fore wing and is somewhat 

 inbent at both folds, recalling that of Neromia pulvereisparsa. 



Underside paler, unmarked. 



Deesa (Disa), October 1899 (G. G. Nurse). 



I think this is quite distinct from both the African species (robusta 

 Prout and affinis Eothschild). Larger than affinis, of a quite different 

 colour (unless this be due to discoloration), the postmedian line of both 

 wings rather more distally placed, the hind wing with abdominal 

 margin relatively slightly longer. Fore wing with both B 1 and M 1 

 well stalked, hind wing with M 1 rather long-stalked. 



Subfamily Sterrhinae. 



11. Anisodes renifera sp. nov. 

 <?,.24 mm. 



Like A. renistigma Prout (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) vi. 241), from 

 E. Peru, except as noted. Hind tibia rough-scaled proximally, not 

 throughout. The " rosy purple " markings in part more tinged with 

 black. Face with a line of spots at extreme upper edge (foreshadowed, 

 however, in renistigma, though overlooked in original description). 

 Abdomen with a pair of ill-defined subdorsal spots at posterior end of 

 first segment and a weaker mediodorsal one on second ; from fourth 

 segment onwards strongly tinged with roseate. 



Fore wing rather less broad ; slightly paler ; costal margin a little 

 greyer ; median line more deeply lunulate in posterior half. Hind 

 wing with median line lunulate-dentate instead of straight.
