NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 27 / 



Thorax, abdomen, and legs white ; foreleg red on inner side ; hindtibia moderately 

 long and slender, without spurs, tarsus not abbreviated. 



Forewing with distal areole small, SC 2 arising from stalk of SC 3-5 ; white, 

 with a slight bine or violet iridescence, caused partly by the rather thin scaling- 

 but chiefly by the presence of scattered iridescent bluish-silvery scales ; sparse grey 

 irroratiou ; costal edge very narrowly ochreous-brownish ; markings grey, not very 

 sharply defined, being formed by condensation of the irroration ; antemedian line 

 obsolescent ; median line broad, excurved anteriorly (distal to a small but sharp 

 black cell-dot), rather oblique to hindmargin proximally to middle ; suggestions in 

 middle of wing of a duplicating line distally to this ; postmedian line wavy, 

 2-3 ram. distant from termen ; proximal subterminal line fairly distinct, somewhat 

 lnnulate-dentate, especially in anterior half; distal subtermia.il weaker: termen 

 with interneural black dots and minuter, weaker ones at vein-ends ; friuge white, 



very feebly spotted with grey opposite the veins. Hindwing with SC 2 connate 



with R 1 ; as forewing, the median shade proximal to the cell-dot, very slightly 

 inbent in anterior half, straighter in posterior, reaching abdominal margin about 

 the middle. 



Underside white ; costal margin of forewing ochreous. 



Oubangui-Chari- Tchad : Bangui. Type in coll. L. B. Prout. 



Without examination of the venation, this would certainly be taken for a 

 rather robust-bodied Scopula. 



12. Scopula (Py large) ruficolor spec. nov. 



S, 25 mm. Similar to irrufata Warr. (Nov. Zool. xii. 391, as Sterrha), and 

 agreeing in essential structure — antennal ciliation long, hindtibia with a pair of 

 well-developed spurs. Differing in its larger size, longer and narrower forewing, 

 with more oblique termen, less rounded hindwiug (somewhat sinuous, at least 

 between the radials, and appreciably produced in middle, with minute tooth at R 3 ), 

 brighter rufous colour, with the coarse dark irroration much less dense, more distinct 

 lines and paler, less uniform underside (the markings slightly showing through). 



Johannesburg, 6000 ft. (J. P. Cregoe). Type in coll. Brit. Mas. 



I have also seen a worn example from the same locality in coll. S. Afr. Mus. 



13. Traminda syngenes sj:iec. nov. 



c?, 26 mm. Head and body mostly flesh-coloured, abdomen pale beneath. 

 Hindfemur densely clothed with long hair, which becomes tinged with reddish 

 distally ; hindtibia with strong, largely red hair-tuft, the inner proximal spur 

 broadened and flattened. 



Forewing with termen sinuate in anterior part, bluntly elbowed at R 3 ; flesh- 

 colour, broadly but indefinitely suffused, except towards base and hindmargin, 

 with olivaceous (probably variable between these two colours, as in several of the 

 genus) ; costal margin with minute dark dots, especially proximally ; scattered and 

 very minute dark irroration elsewhere ; a very fine grey antemedian line traceable 

 at one-third hindmargin, rather oblique outward ; a small white, dark-ringed 

 discal dot ; a very fine grey line from three-fifths hindmargin, rather more 

 oblique than termen, to R 1 , then very gently curving, becoming faint at costa ; 

 a fine whitish line edging the postmedian distally ; a snbterminal series of small 



blackish vein-dots, slightly incurved in posterior half. -Hindwing quadrate, 



almost right-angled at R 3 ; fleshy, with weaker olivaceous suffusions; a very small
