278 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



white cell-dot ; the double postmedian line antemedian ; the row of dark vein-dots 

 excnrved, about halfway between the line and termen. 



Underside whitish grey, costal margin and apical half of forewing and distal 

 area of hindwing with an olive-ochreous hue, the pale part of forewing with a very 

 slight pinkish tinge and with slight grey strigulation ; both wings with dark grey 

 subterminal line, that of forewing gently incurved in posterior half, that of hindwing 

 strongly curved, so as to be but little farther from termen at the angle than in the 

 rest of its course, throughout placed nearer to termen than the vein-dots of 

 npperside.

Superficially like some colour-forms of T. vividaria Walk., List Lep. Ins. 

 xxiii. 800 (= nigripuncta Warr., Nov. Zool. iv. 225 = variegata Swinh., Tr. Ent. 

 Soc. Lond. 1904, p. 562 *), except in the sinuate termen and white cell-dot of 

 forewing. But whereas that species has a simple S hindleg, that of the present 

 species agrees with the more typical members of Traminda (Saalni., Lep. Madaq. 

 p. 496, indescr., Warr., Nov. Zool. ii. 100 = Gnamptoloma Warr., Nov. Zool. ii. 95), 

 obversata Walk., List. Lep. Ins. xxiii. 790 ( = atroviridata Saalm., Ber. Senckenb. 

 Ges. 1879-80, p. 293 = glauca Warr., Nov. Zool. iv. 64 = striata Warr. iv. 220), 

 aventiaria Gnen., etc. Really quite close to neptunaria Guen., which is much larger, 

 always green, with outer line less curved, etc., and which occurs, without 

 geographical variation, throughout a wide area in Africa (Abyssinia to Natal, 

 Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Cameroons, etc.). 



Subfamily LARENTIINAE. 

 14. Ortholitha subrectiaria recta subsp. nov. 



6 ? , 26 mm. Differs from name-typical subrectiaria Walk. {List Lep. Ins. 

 xxiii. 964) in having the subbasal and antemedian lines of the forewing straight 

 or almost straight. In addition, the colour is somewhat greyer (less brownish) and 

 the median band is more noticeably darkened between the radials distally to the 

 cell-dot. 



Madagascar: Antananarivo, type £ ; Moramauga, ?. Both in coll. L. B. 

 Prout. 



15. Epirrhoe edelsteni spec. nov. 



$ ? , 27-28 mm. Face roughened, but without definite cone. Palpus shortish, 

 heavily scaled, third joint very small, not distinct. Antenna in g slightly thickened, 

 with very minute ciliation. Head and body concolorous with wings. 



Forewing of moderate width ; light ochreous brown, tinged with reddish and 

 strongly irrorated with dark fuscous ; lines dark fuscous, numerous, waved or 

 crenulate, not sharply defined ; basal area scarcely differentiated, scarcely appreciably 

 darker than snbbasal ; central band about 4 mm. wide at costa, 3 mm. or rather 

 less at hindmargin, the lines on it slightly darkened, especially those at its edges, 

 which are limited each by a fine pale line ; proximal edge of the band little curved, 

 distal slightly bilobed outward in middle, but less strongly than in Mimoclystia 

 undulosata Warr. ; cell-mark present but not sharp ; distal area beyond the outer 

 whitish line narrowly pale rufescent, then fuscescent, with traces of fine, ill— 



* Swinhoe, loc. cit., erroneously sinks vividaria Walk, (misprinted viridaria) to neptunaria Guen. 

 The synonymy here given is new, based on examination of types.
