364 APPENDIX. 



It may also be mentioned as a remarkable circumstance in 

 Entomological Geography that the grand Chrysiridia Rhipheus, 

 Cramer, supposed until quite recently to be confined to Madagascar, 

 and to be the only old world representative of the splendid new world 

 Uremics, has been found on the east coast of Africa, near Zanzibar. 

 Gerstaecker has figured the continental individual as a distinct 

 species, but specimens which I have examined appear not to differ 

 specifically from the Madagascar ones. 



Family Zygmtxvdm. 



In this family a beautiful species of Zygcena, closely allied to the 

 very striking Z. ochroptera, Felder, was taken at Tati : — 



Zygcena tricolorata, Westwood in Oates's Matabele Land, ed. 

 1, App. p. 354(1881). 



Chalybea, humeris absque anticis aurantiacis, harum margine 

 apicalo nigro ; alis posticis sanguineis limbo nigro ante angulum 

 analem desinente. Expans. alar, antic, unc. 1, lin. 5. 



Z. ochroptera, Felder (Novara-Reise, Lep. iv. pi. 82, f. 20), differt 

 colore alarum limboque nigro multo angustiori. 



Another new species was taken at Gubuluwayo : — 



Zygcena transversalis, n. sp. 



Euctenics zygcznoidi, Felder (Novara-Reise, Lep. iv. pi. 82, f. 21), 

 valde affinis, alis autem posticis medio supra sanguineis fascia trans- 

 versa media nigra ; alis anticis infra basi, et pone medium sanguineo 

 maculatis. Exp. alar, antic, unc. 1, lin. 6. 1 



The beautiful Anteris ampla, Walker, was also taken by Mr. 

 Oates, as well as several species of Procris and Syntomis. 



Family Agaristid^e. 



This family is represented in Mr. Oates's collection by a beautiful 

 species of Eusemia, allied to E. Euphemia, Cramer, Pap. Ex., pi. 345, 

 f. A ; E. longipemiis, Walker (Butler, 111. Lep. Het. Brit. Mus., i. p. 

 10, pi. 5, f. 5) ; E. pallida, Walker (Butler, /. c. pi. 5, f. 3) ; and E. con- 

 tigua, Walker (Butler, /. c. pi. 4, f. 8) : — 



Eusemia adulatrix, Westwood in Oates's Matebele Land, ed. 1, 



App. p. 355, pi- G, f. 1, pi. H, f. 3, za-b (1881). (Plate VII., 



fig. 1, and Plate IX., figs. 3, 3«, 36.) 



Alis anticis nigris, maculis duabus parvis subbasalibus fascia 



obliqua integra submedia, alteraque magna late ovali inter medium et 



apicem, interstitiis argenteo-irroratis ; striga minuta marginis interni 



pone medium punctoque rotundato intus angulum posticum flavo-

 was not assigned to it there. — Ed.]
