A REVISION OF THE ETHIOPIAN DREPANIDAE (LEPIDOPTER A) 45 



discocellular spot very dark brown on both wings ; postmedial fascia grey and dark brown, 

 less well marked on hind wing. 



Colour of abdomen as for corresponding surface of hind wing. 



cj genitalia (Text-figs. 65-67) : setose lobe present at either side of anellus ; eighth sternum 

 asymmetric, posterior sclerites closely connected to main sclerite but not fused with it. 



$. Not known. 



Measurements. A.P.R. : <£. 14. Wing : <J. 18-5, 18-0-19-0 mm. (4). 



Discussion. Distinguished from lumaria by the broader saccus and differently 

 shaped valves, uncus, aedeagus and eighth sternum. There appears to be no 

 important external diagnostic feature. 



Distribution. Known only from the type locality. 



Material examined. Type. Holotype $, Congo, Elisabethville, 6.iv.i95i 

 (Seydel) ; Drepanidae genitalia slide No. 1152 ; in the Musee Royal de l'Afrique 

 centrale, Tervuren. 



Paratypes. British Mfiseum {Natural History). Congo : 1 $, Elisabethville, 

 28. hi. 1952 (Seydel). Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh. Congo : 2 <$, Elisabethville, 

 26. i. 1949, 6.iv.i953 (Seydel). 



Epicampoptera lumaria sp. n. 



(Text-figs. 68-70) 



Description. $. Externally as for seydeli, except for coloration of upper surface of wings 

 which are pale brown in ground-colour and have yellowish brown markings except for the white 

 and grey postmedial fascia. 



o* genitalia (Text-figs. 68-70) : anellus forming lateral lip on either side ; setose lobe at side 

 of anellus small ; aedeagus with deep, longitudinal sulcus on one side ; posterior processes of 

 eighth sternite asymmetric. 



9- Not known. (But see Distribution.) 



Measurements. A.P.R. : <$. 19. Wing : <$. 17-5 mm. (1). 



Discussion. Separated from seydeli apparently only by the male genitalia ; in 

 particular by the markedly different eighth sternite, but also by the saccus, valves, 

 anellus, uncus and aedeagus. 



Distribution. Cameroun. A female from Fernando Po in the collection of 

 the British Museum (Natural History) may prove to belong to this species when 

 more material is available for comparison. 



Material examined. Type. Holotype $, Cameroun, Efulen, 29.xii.1919 

 (Weber) ; Drepanidae genitalia slide No. 1554 ; in the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh. 



Epicampoptera efulena 



(Text-figs. 71-73 ; PI. 17, fig. 342) 



Description, q*. Outer surface of palp and vestiture of head posterior and ventral to eyes 

 very dark brown ; front and vertex of head brownish buff ; antenna, and inner surface of palp 

 brownish buff. 



Dorsal surface of thorax yellowish brown anteriorly, the scales highly lustrous ; colour doubt- 

 ful posteriorly. Ventral surface of thorax pale buff. Front surface of fore leg dark brown with
