NOVITATBS ZOOLOGICAB XXIII. 1916. 273 



meeting it behind R 1 , then forming an inward curve, meeting it again at hind- 

 margin ; cell-mark obsolescent ; an ill-defined snbterminal spot between R 1 and R 2 , 

 accompanied by a smaller one anteriorly and posteriorly ; terminal dots blackish, 



elongate, especially the anterior ones ; fringe dark-mixed. Hindwing with the 



postmedian line running nearly straight (faintly sinuous in posterior half) from just 

 beyond middle of costa to three-fifths abdominal margin ; an additional line, rather 

 less sharp, starting with it (on distal side), angled outward on R 2 midway between 

 it and termen, then slightly sinuous to abdominal margin near tornus. 



Underside more coarsely irrorated, the markings reproduced but in reverse 

 distinctness — antemedian and postmedian lines very fine and rather weak, the 

 supplementary line strong. 



Lindi, German Bast Africa, $ (type) and 3 ? ? in coll. Tring Mus. 



Very suggestive, except in its broader, less strongly falcate forewing, of a pale, 

 sharply-lined Ozola, microniaria Walk., or even of 0. maeariata Walk. 



Ozola Walk. 



It has been overlooked that the African representative of this genus {pulveru- 

 lenta Warr., Nov. Zool. iv. 30) forms a separate section, differing in the absence of 

 the median spur in both sexes, and the less dilated c? hindtibia. It would even 

 be possible on this ground to constitute a new genus. The species about to be 

 described shares this structure. 



3. Ozola occidentalis spec. nov. 



<$ , 20 mm. Akin to pulverulenta Warr., but with somewhat shorter antennal 

 ciliation (not longer than diameter of shaft), hindtibia not appreciably dilated. 

 Wings somewhat narrower. 



Foreiving with termen less markedly sinuate, lines present, though not definite, 



subterminal marked with some black dots, about as in microniaria Walk., etc. 



Hindwing with postmedian line curving more strongly outward posteriorly, so as to 

 reach abdominal margin nearer the tornus. 



Bitye, Ja River, Cameroons, 2000 ft., September — -November 1911. Type in 

 coll. Tring Mus. 



4. Aletis helcita contractimargo subsp. nov. 



Black distal borders narrowed, that of the hindwing in general measuring 

 4-5 mm., that of the forewing proximally rather strongly bent in middle, as in 

 erici Kirby. 



Uganda, in various collections. Type from Port Alice, in coll. Tring Mus. 



Curiously parallel to erici from the same locality, though distinguishable by 

 the crenulate proximal edge of the black border of the hindwing as well as (in the 

 c?) the antennal structure. Generally of a less orange tint than erici, the white 

 spots in distal border sometimes mnch reduced. 



5. Cartaletis nigricosta spec. nov. 



8 $ , 48-60 mm. Build rather robust. Head black. Antenna in S with rather 

 short, moderately stout pectinations, in $ strongly serrate. Thorax black, with a 

 white spot on tegula and some inconspicuous white spotting beneath. Abdomen 

 black, with a dorsal and a lateral row of white spots.
