This form is nearest to 11. crenulata Bethune Baker, but is 

 much smaller and redder than that species. It also differs in the 

 postmedial line being angled in on vein 3, and there being 

 a medial line across the disc of the hind wing. 



273. Heteronygmia aurelia, sp. n. (PL I. fig. 16.) 



Description. — 6. Head and thorax golden yellow, abdomen 

 ochreous. Antennae bipectinat^. Palpi long, thickly covered 

 with long hair. Fore wing golden yellow ; no antemeclial lines. 

 Three oblique lines, red-brown, and leading in the shape of a 

 V from the costa to a dark red-brown shade at end of cell. A 

 narrow waved oblique postmedial line from costa just before apex 

 to middle of inner margin. A subterminal line of black points 

 between the veins. Cilia reddish yellow. Hind wing ochreous ; 

 a fuscous spot a,t tornal angle with a fuscous striga above it, and 

 three fuscous discal spots between veins 3, 4, 5, and 6. 



Underside : fore wing bright ochreous, with a fuscous* band on 

 discocellulars, and a thicker fuscous postmedial band than that 

 on the upperside ; hind wing bright ochreous, with medial band 

 and discal spots as on the upperside. 



Habitat. Meru, B; E.Africa, taken by Lady Colvile. Expanse 

 38 mm. 



There are no specimens of this genus in the B. M. Collection, 

 but there is a figure of Heteronygmia stigmatica Holland, from 

 Gaboon, which appears to be near this species, but it has no 

 black oblique postmedial line as in this species.

 margin between the veins, seven of which also appear on the hind" 

 wing. Underside : fore wing with the basal and internal area 

 white, the costa, and half of cell occupied by a red-brown band,
