Moeschler's SemiotJdsa largificaria (Abhandl. Senck. nat. Ges. 

 XV, p. 95, fig. 20, 1887) seems nearly allied to this species. One 

 of our examples also nearly resembles G. maligna from Japan. 



211. Gonodela zombina, sp. n. 



Not unlike the preceding species ; granite-grey, with black 

 discocellular spots ; the inner oblique angulated line of primaries 

 ill-defined ; the transverse dark grey mottling better defined ; the 

 external area from the second line considerably darker than the 

 remainder of the wing-surface, but this difference is less pronounced 

 in a tapering patch immediately beyond the line and extending 

 upwards from inner margin of both wings and on the external 

 border of the secondaries ; the outer line of jirimaries more oblique 

 than in G. Icilimanjarensis, and continuous with the inner line of 

 secondaries ; the outer line of the latter mngs slightly nearer to 

 outer margin : wings below white, coarsely mottled with dark 

 grey, the two transverse lines of the upper surface reproduced, 

 the inner one in grey mottling ; external area grey- brown, slightly 

 reddish towards apex of primaries, with white nebula towards the 

 middle, the secondaries also with a squamose apical spot ; veins of 

 all wings ochreous ; costa of primaries buff : body below cream- 

 coloured, speckled with dark grey ; legs slightly yellower. Expanse 

 of wings 40 millim. 



Zomba, July and December 1892, January 1893. 



Compared with G. kilimanjarensis, this species has the costal 

 margin of the primaries longer and the outer margin consequently 

 more oblique; the angle of the secondaries is also slightly more 

 defined. 



212. Tepheina johnstoni, sp. n. 



Greyisli white, mottled with fuliginous grey ; discocellular spots 

 black, almost obliterated by the dark transverse lines ; the primaries 

 crossed obliquely by four lines, the first thi-ee angulated towards 

 costa, the first near the base, the second crossing the end of the 

 cell, slightly diverging from the first, but parallel to the third, 

 which is blackish, undulated, its angle almost filled in by an 

 irregular perpendicular dark grey spur from lower radial to sub-
