The remainder of the Pyralidce, the Crambidce, Phycitidce, and 



Tineidee I can do nothing with, excepting that there is one rather 

 irood example of Dysphylia viridella, Ragonot, from the Sabaki 

 Valley. 



The GeometridiP are also mostly in bad condition, but the 

 following are identifiable : —

Xearest to 0. megalaria : wings silvery greyish white, with faint 

 brassy reflections ; costa of primaries slightly browner; an oblique 

 black bar on the discocellulars ; a slightly arched grey stripe 

 crossing the disc parallel to outer margin and followed by two 

 very badly-defined submarginal stripes, the inner one often partly 

 obliterated ; two more slender stripes traverse the fringe of all 

 the wings. Head, prothorax, and patagia brownish grey ; remainder 

 of body whitish ; antennae white, with blackish pectinations in 

 the male. Wings below greyer, all the veins pale buff ; costa of 

 primaries with a golden reflection, irrorated with grey, traces of 

 the commencement of the first two transverse stripes as far as 

 upper radial vein ; discocellular bar replaced by a cuneiform 

 oblique whitish-edged black spot: secondaries white irrorated with 

 grey ; the costa tinted with pale buff ; a black spot on upper 

 discocellular and a series of four black dots on the median and 

 radial veins ; a submarginal squamose brownish-grey line ; margin 

 also grey : body below brassy, legs slightly dusted with grey. 

 Expanse of wings 32 millim.

Primaries above silver-grey, divided into three nearly equal 

 parts by two white irregular stripes, which indicate the central 

 band, the inner stripe } -shaped, the outer wider, better defined, 

 undulated, almost in the form of the Greek letter £ (but with the 

 tail continued almost to the length of the character) on the left 

 hand side ; on the right hand it consequently more nearly resembles 

 a figure 3, also with the lower extremity continued : secondaries 

 pure white, crossed before the middle by an equally Insinuate grev 

 band, the centre between the two sinuations forming an acute 

 angle directed outwards ; a dotted grey line, duplex at abdominal 

 margin, followed by an external rather broad grey border ; a sub-
