cj genitalia (Text-figs. 204-206) : valve with single basal process ; aedeagus with one hooked 

 cornutus ; posterior processes of eighth sternum close together, unusually long. 

 $. Unknown. 

 Measurements. A.P.R. : q\ ii. Wing : q\ 17-5, 16-5-18-5 mm. (2). 



Discussion. Except for its larger size imaitsoana is superficially most like 

 prolixa. The genitalia, however, do not indicate a particularly close relationship 

 between these two species. 



The difference in coloration, dealt with above, between the two known specimens 

 suggests that this species may prove to be as highly variable as viettei. 



Distribution. Known only from central Madagascar. 



Material examined. Type. Holotype $, Andringitra, Ampalavao, Anjavidi-

Crocinis felina sp. n. 



(Text-figs. 207-209 ; PL 11, fig. 316) 



Description. $. Palp, head and proximal half of upper surface of antennal shaft dark 

 brown ; distal half of antennal shaft slightly paler. 



Dorsal surface of thorax dark brown ; ventral surface brownish buff. Front surface of all legs 

 proximal to tarsus dark brown, remaining surfaces brownish buff ; proximal half of tarsus as for 

 rest of leg, last tarsal segment very dark brown. Outer margin of fore wing slightly convex at 

 middle ; apex very strongly produced (Plate 11, fig. 316). Outer margin of hind wing evenly 

 convex. Upper surface of both wings lustrous dark brown, darkest between transverse fasciae 

 on each wing. Antemedial fascia of fore wing and sub-basal fascia of hind wing edged proximally 

 with pale grey ; distal margin of postmedial fascia of fore wing similarly edged between apex and 

 cell. Hyaline patch on fore wing conspicuous. Very dark brown posterior cell-spot on hind 

 wing. Under surface of both wings yellowish brown speckled with dark brown, but with buff 

 posterior band ; hind wing with dark brown discocellular spot and posterior cell-spot ; both 

 wings with numerous, scattered, pale grey scales along outer margin. 



o* genitalia (Text-figs. 207-209) : valve with single, short, basal spine ; vesica of aedeagus 

 with single, pointed cornutus ; eighth sternum as in figure. 



$. Not known. 



Measurements. A.P.R. : q\ 10. Wing : 5* .i6-omm. (1). 



Discussion. The male genitalia of this species most closely resemble those of 

 fenestrata, but there is no other evidence of any near relationship between these two 

 species. 



Although only one specimen of this striking species is known, I believe there are 

 enough significant specific characters to merit the inclusion of this description. 



Distribution. Known only from the type locality in N.E. Madagascar. 



Material examined. Holotype $, Madagascar Est, Sambava R.N. XII
