Bupota tranquilla scripta ssp. n. 



(PI. 14, fig. 72; PI. 40, figs 223, 224) 



o". Wing, 9-10-5 mm. Vertex brown, with white line of scales between antennae. Frons 

 not projecting between eyes. Antennae ciliate. Proboscis reduced, scarcely visible between 

 palps. Labial palps short, third segment 1/3 length of second. Thorax reddish brown. Hind 

 tibia with one pair of spurs and single proximal spur. Fore wing, pattern as in PI. 14, fig. 72, 

 yellow- brown with darker transverse fascia. Fringe brown. Hind wing, pattern and colour 

 as fore wing. Sc+Ri and Rs free. 



Genitalia <$ (PI. 40, figs 223, 224). Uncus simple. Gnathus lightly sclerotized. Valves 

 simple. Prominent sclerotized basal process with rounded, sclerotized plate, towards mid-line. 

 Juxta with two elongate, rather spiny, lateral lobes. Aedeagus with strongly spined manica. 



$. Unknown. 



Discussion. From the nominate subspecies this can be separated by its smaller 

 size, orange-brown colour and slight differences in the juxta. Externally this sub- 

 species is similar to K. maculanota but lacks the round white spot at the apex of the 

 cell of the fore wing and has less black scaling on the underside of the fore wing. 

 The presence of a single, median proximal tarsal spur is found in C. subscripta from 

 which B. t. scripta can be separated by the orange-brown colour and the lack of the 

 row of black and silver scales which are found in the cell under the fore wing of 

 C. subscripta. The single Angolan specimen is smaller than the Zambian specimens.

Bupota galbana sp. n. 



(PI. 1, A; PI. 40, fig. 225; PI. 63, fig. 392) 



o*. Wing, 8-5— 10-5 mm. Vertex yellowish, frons slightly projecting between eyes. Antennae 

 ciliate. Labial palps short, upturned, not reaching vertex, about i\ X diameter of eye; third 

 segment 1/4 length of second. Thorax yellowish brown. Hind tibia with two pairs of very 

 short spurs, proximal pair with one small and one minute spur, latter not visible through scales. 

 Fore wing, pattern as in PI. 1, A, pale orange-yellow, basal area with grey terminal and sub- 

 terminal areas, with indistinct orange-brown reticulations. Underside, grey-white, almost 

 unpatterned. Black spot in apex of cell just visible on upper and under sides. Costal margin 

 slightly concave. Radial veins from cell. Hind wing, strongly reticulate with white ground 

 colour, whole hind wing rather grey, underside similar. Sc+R l and Rs free. 



Genitalia q* (PI. 40, fig. 225). Uncus simple. Gnathus present, with small median process.
