X. eugraphata Joan. (9 b) is unknown to me and will possibly ])rove a race or synonym (jf horhonka- caijru[iliala. 
ta, but the type is somewhat larger and more brightly coloured than the specimens of horhonkafa before rnc 
and — what is probably more significant — with the postmedian line of the forewing less sinuous, more as in 
transcissa except that it lacks the inward tooth at the 5th subcostal. Mauritius. 
X. transcissa Warr. (9 b). antenna, as in the well-known fluctuafa Linn., with 2 pairs of slendei- 
pectinations to each joint; the basal moderately long, the distal rudimentary. Named from the mediair banrl of 
the’forewing, which in the (J is bisected, in the $ extremely constricted in the middle, d' retinaculum en¬ 
larged. Kenya Colony. 
X. scarificata Proui. Much like transcissa (9 b) forewing with antemedian line bluntly bent or .‘icarifimta. 
curved instead of acutely angled at fold, postmedian rather more dentate but less sinuous, subterminal white 
mark of cellule 3 twice as broad; hindwing with postmedian line appreciably crenulate. Mt. Kenya at 2490 m, 
2 collected with a pair of fm/iscfssa, of which it may conceivably be an extremely dissimilar form, though 
the wing-shape seems slightly different. 
X. transjugata Prout (9 c). Rectinacuhim as in transcissa, pectinations closely similar, though I think transjufja- 
the primary ones are very slightly less long. Smaller than transcissa , especially in the cJ, median l)and dif- 
ferently shaped, its posterior half often dissolved into waved lines, proximal and distal areas more weakly 
marked, the sharp white subterminal tooth replaced by a much less conspicuous lunule or dot. Kenya Colony, 
common in the Kikiiyu Escarpment. — brachytoma subsp. n. has the postmedian line of the forewing rather hrarhyto- 
straighter, the indentation at the 5th subcostal being minute and the central projection suppressed, the lines 
of the hindwing only developed from abdominal margin to median and its 2nd branch, the anterior part (ex¬ 
cept for the smoky base and distinct cell-dot) remaining clear, the underside with stronger reddish shades 
in distal area of both wings, the dark maculation thereon weaker. Kivu; Kisiba, Bugoie Forest, 8500 
feet, November 1921, 1 d' (T. A. Barns). 
X. ansorgei Warr. (9c). Near the preceding group, the retinaculum similarly enlarged; c? antenna ansorgci. 
with both pairs of processes short, about equal, terminating in fascicles of cilia. Forewing with boundary of 
subbasal area angled at cell-fold (in transjugata at subcostal), boundaries of median area on an average straighter. 
Somewhat variable in depth of colouring and strength of subterminal markings. Uganda (loc. typ.) and N. W. 
Kivu, apparently also on Fernando Po. — f- (? sp. div.) rubens nov. is so distinct in aspect that I at first rubens. 
took it to be a distinct species; more probably, however, a Mendelian form (cf. A", ferrugata CL). Prevailing 
tone brownish and reddish, as against the grey and blackish of typical ansorgei, irroration of hindwing and 
imderside rather light pinkish cinnamon than black-grey (especially in the <S), median band of forevving mikado- 
brown, central white sidDterminal spot imdeveloped. W. and N. W. Kivu: PTpper Lowa Valley, near Masisi, 
5000—6000 feet, February 1924, type d' and allotype; Lake Mokoto district, 5000—7500 feet, September 1921, 
1 $. Discovered by T. A. Barns. 
X. euthytoma Prout (10 a). Closely like the straightest-banded ansorgei, except in the uniformly darkened enthytoma. 
terminal area, with extremely slender ])ale dentate sidAerminal line. Nigeria (tyj^e) and Uganda. 
X. morosa sp. n. (9 c). Smaller than ansorgei, antenna with the long fascicles arising from more rudi- murosa. 
mentary processes. Darker; forewing slightly shorter, without defined pale apical patch or dark subterminal 
band, basal patch less oblique and more convex, median band recalling some common forms of transjugata, 
being only developed from costa to 3rd radial, subterminal line very fine, slightly interrupted; hindwing 
with the white line outside the submedian somewhat crenulate. N. W. Kivu: Upper Oso River, 4000 feet, 
February 1924, 1 ^ (T. A. Barns). 
X. calycopis sp. n. (9 c). Expanse 22—24 mm. Recalls procne (9 a) but smaller and more delicate, calycopk. 
with the pectinations more rudimentary, two fascicle-bearing ])airs to each joint, the secondary ones mere 
processes, j^laced more ventrad. Forewing sxiffused with delicate pink; median band moderate, in $ broad, 
in both sexes about twice as broad at costa as at hindmargin; terminal area, excexxt a white-mixed spot at 
apex, suffused with brown and black; terminal line interrupted at and midway between the veins. Hind¬ 
wing with the lines very weak, only traceable in posterior part, more strongly marked beneath, having a 
black cell-dot, the fine lines from base to postmedian complete, the sxibterminal spots well develojxed bet¬ 
ween the radials and near anal angle. N. W. Kivu, 2 d'd', 1 $, taken with morosa. 
X. holophaea Hmpsn. (9 c). Palpus rather long and strong, d" antenna subserrate, with two pairs iwlophaea. 
of fascicles to each joint. Ground-colour always dusky, markings variable in strength, the median band darker 
in the its boundary-lines sometimes sharply darkened in the Sokotra, at 3500 feet. 
X. argenteoHneata Auriv. (10 a). Variable, especially on the forewing. The figured specimen, from argcnfco- 
Mt. Kenya, has the white area beyond the central band greatly extended as conqxared with the type form; Uneata. 
the shape of the postmedian is pretty constant, but the antemedian varies in the shaiqmess of its angulation
