284 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



median line and proximal shading of snbterminal all being strong, the postmedian 

 followed by a more diffuse, less straight line distally ; much white admixture 

 elsewhere, including the whitening of the veins and a broad radial streak from base 

 to termen. 



Madagascar : Antananarivo. Type in coll. L. B. Prout. 



Distinguished by the very angnlated postmedian line and especially by the 

 underside. 



26. Pareclipsis anophthalma spec, no v. 



? , 38 mm. Larger than -punctata Warr. (JS T ov. Zool. vii. 97). 



Forewing with termen slightly more elbowed, SC : anastomosing at a point with 

 SC 3- *, ground-colour more rufous, with rather strong grey and blackish irroration,. 

 antemedian line not distinguishable, cell-spot smaller, not ocellated, postmedian row 

 of dots not very sharp, termen without black dots, fringe at extremity pure white. 



Hindwing with termen rather more indented between the radials and bent 



(almost toothed) at R 3 , more pinkish, very feebly marked. 



Underside very pale pinkish grey ; forewing with sharp black cell-dot and 

 costal end of postmedian line, which is otherwise almost obsolete ; hindwing with 

 minute cell-dot and very weak postmedian series. 



Nyassaland: Zomba, February 1911 (Dr. J. E. S. Old). Type in coll. Brit. 

 Mus. 



27. Pareclipsis oxyptera spec. nov. 



c?, 29-30 mm. Face light ochreous brown, somewhat mixed with fuscous 

 below. Palpus not very long ; largely infascated. Vertex pale ochreous brown. 

 Thorax and abdomen concolorous with wings, or rather paler. 



Foreioing shorter than in punctata Warr., with apex more falcate ; SC 1 anasto- 

 mosing with C and with SC 2 , SC 2 also with SC 3-4 ; rather glossy reddish-fuscous 

 (in an aberration more ochreous-brown) ; costal edge mixed in places with black, 

 especially at base ; lines black ; antemedian from before one-fourth costa, oblique 

 outward to middle of cell, here angled, posteriorly somewhat interrupted ; post- 

 median slender, from nearly four-fifths costa, slightly sinuate inward in posterior 

 part ; sometimes slightly accentuated on the veins ; a minute black cell-dot, 

 proximally to which is placed a very weak median shade ; termen with interneural 



black dots ; a very slender pale line at base of fringe. Hindwing relatively 



ample, with termen full in anterior half, straight or faintly subconcave posteriorly ^ 

 rather paler and greyer than forewing, at least in its proximal part ; median shade 

 slender, faint, nearly straight ; cell-dot and postmedian line present, the latter 

 scarcely curved ; terminal dots and fringe almost as on forewing. 



Underside rather variable, generally more weakly marked than upper ; cell- 

 dots and postmedian line present, the latter tending to break up into vein-dots. 



Cape Colony : Draibosch (type) and Tole (Miss F. Barrett), in coll. Brit. Mus. 



28. Pareclipsis incerta spec. nov. 



c?, 34 mm. General characters and facies of punctata Warr.; face roundec^ 

 without projecting cone of scales, antenna with moderate, rather slender pectina- 

 tions. Head and body concolorous with wings. 



Forewing slightly narrower than in punctata, costal and distal margins 

 straighter, SC 1 and S 2 free ; light wood-brown, with sparse dark irroration ; lines.
