Epicampoptera griveaudi sp. n. 



(Text-figs. 50-53 ; PL 3, fig. 280 ; Map 2) 



Description. <J, $. Similar to carnea externally and in the degree of individual variation of 

 the coloration of the wings (Plate 3, fig. 280). 



o* genitalia (Text-figs. 50-52) : valve process long, arcuate ; posterior processes of uncus 

 short, acuminate. 



$ genitalia (Text-fig. 53) : dorsal lobes of eighth segment with irregular medial edge dorsally. 



Measurements. A.P.R. : <$. 19 ; $. 17. Wing : <$. 18-0, 170-20-0 mm. (4) ; 9- 20-0, 

 19-5-21-0 mm. (3). 



Discussion. This species is probably most closely related to graciosa from which 

 it can be distinguished by the colour-pattern of the wings and by the genitalia. It 

 also has close affinities with carnea, which has an apparently identical colour-pattern 

 but distinctive genitalia, and with notialis, an African species, which differs both in 

 colour-pattern and genitalia. 



The type of individual variation is similar to that found in carnea. In one 

 specimen of griveaudi the medial shade is nearly black at the anal margin of both 

 wings, as in two specimens of carnea. 



One male and one female from the Comores, in the collection of the Museum 

 national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, probably represent a new subspecies of griveaudi, 

 but further material is needed before this can be confirmed.

Epicampoptera graciosa sp. n. 



(Text-figs. 54-57 ; PL 3, fig. 281 ; Map 2) 



Description. $. Outer surface of palp dark brown, inner surface buff. Antenna 

 buff. Head buff, except for greyish brown area extending from base of antennae to a line 

 midway between antennae and labrum (holotype) or extending over whole of front of head. 



Wing venation as for tumidula. Wing shape and colour-pattern as in Plate 3, fig. 281. 

 Markings stronger than in most specimens of carnea and griveaudi. Subterminal markings on 

 upper surface of hind wing conspicuous, sometimes present between M 1 and M 2 and between 

 Cu la and Cu^ (not in holotype), apparently always present as two elongate spots between 

 M 3 and C« la . Under surface of both wings buff (holotype) or pale orange, striate and speckled 

 with very dark brown especially at apex and in distal half of wings ; trace of discocellular spot 

 in both wings ; well marked postmedial fascia on fore wing, trace of this fascia on hind wing.
