1894.] FROM BRITISH EAST AFRICA. 585 



Steppes of the Thika-Shika ; steppes between Athi and Thika, 

 and Kavaluki Valley, Ukamba. 



It is qnite possible that this may be only a variety of Walker's 

 S. strigata = 7iymencea, Grerst. ; but, hitherto, intermediate links 

 between the two forms have not been received, and therefore, for 

 the present, I prefer to keep them separate ; at the same time the 

 difference between them is no greater than between individual 

 examples of B. parvipuncta. 



158. LEPTOSOMA RESTRICT!!!!, Sp. n. 



Allied to L. leuconoe, of which it appears to be an Eastern 

 representative ; it differs in having the band of primaries pure 

 semitransparent white, without the strong indentations on the 

 veins which are present in L. leuconoe; the white area of the 

 secondaries much more restricted, owing to the considerably 

 greater width of the external black border. Expanse of wings 

 49 millim. 



Sabaki Valley. 



We have a male from Wasin in the Museum ; it is slightly 

 smaller than female examples, but otherwise similar in pattern and 

 coloration. 



159. Lacipa gracilis. 



3 2 . Lacipa gracilis, Hopffer, in Peters's Eeise nach Mossamb. 

 pi. xxviii. figs. 4, 5. 



<5 , Tzavo, at night ; 5 , var. Sabaki Valley. 



The female example has lost all the black spots on the primaries 

 and is larger than in Hopffer's figure, but I believe it to be a 

 simple variety. 



160. PSAJiIS SECURIS. 



Psalis securis, Hiibner, Samml. exot. Schmett. Zutr. figs. 291, 

 292. 



Sabaki Valley. 



Does not differ at all from Ceylonese examples. 



161. Lymavtria, sp. 



A single example, probably from the Sabaki Valley, of a species 

 new to us ; but it is without head, and is too much worn for 

 certain determination. 



162. Heteranaphe, sp. 



One very rubbed example of a species which 1 have hitherto 

 been unable to identify ; it is not good enough to describe. 

 Mbololo, near summit, 5600 feet elevation. 



Phasicxkcus, gen. nov. (Lasiocarnpidce). 



Aspect of Lemonia, but differing entirely in neuration. Costal 

 vein of primaries normal ; discoidal cell short and narrow,
