dense, etc. Nyasaland in the Zomba district (H. Barlow), 3 ^ ?$ from tlie Joicey Collection, the 
type from Zomba Plateau, November 1920. 
B. edwardsi sp. n. (16 a). In size and sha])e near .striiigeri. Face more nniiormly suffused with yellow, crlirardsi. 
Antennal pectinations about as in ahruptaria, etc. Abdomen with yellow belts at the ends of the segments. 
Wings with the irroration very coarse in places, but irregularly distributed; the black lines and sjjots mostly 
heavy, the antemedian not interrupted, the median well develo])ed, that of the hindwing very angular; all 
the lines, exce])t the last-named, accompanied by bright yellow lines; fringe yellow, sharply black- 
spotted. Uganda: Namwamba Valle^y, Ruwenzori Range, 6500 feet (Dr. F. W. Edwards, British Museum 
Pk African Expedition), type cJ; Bwamba Pass, 6500 feet (Prof. G. D. Hale G^rpenter), 1 (J. 
B. antecreta sj). n. (16 a). (J, 42—44 mm. vSmaller than abruptaria, among which it has been detected (inlerrdd. 
in a few W. African localities; much more weakly marked. Wing-shape slightly intermediate towards that 
of the following; irroration mostly very fine, but fairly distributed; oidy the 3 black costal s])ots (omitting a 
subterminal) conspicuous, the lines being very slender, the accompanying dots and s])ots slight and incomplete; 
terminal spots obsolescent. Old Calabar (S. I). Crompton) type ^ in the British jMuseum. Single c5'(^ also 
known to me from Lagos, from Ilesha and from Kumasi. The genitalia of the cj are shorter than in either of 
the preceding, making some approach to those of pteronyma; the saccus, however,, is quite different, being pro¬ 
duced to a definite point; spinides on the valves are much more dense. 
B. pteronyma sp. n. (16 b) approaches antecreta in its small size (A 43- 45 mm, 1 giant 50 mm, 1 dwarf ptcronipna. 
36; 9 ‘17—55 mm) and weak markings. The blackish face has a much narrower up])er part yellow or whitish, 
b\it an increased (typically subtriangular) white spot below. tVings much more strongly and coarsely irrorated 
w'ith brownish grey, the costal spots as in antecreta, the 4th (subterminal), if present, nearly always weak or 
broken, the lines and spots also weakened, but less extremely than in that species, the antemedian in particular 
not so slender. Genitalia of the decidedly smaller than in most Buzura, nearly as broad as long, 
valve with dorsal edge more nearly equal in length to ventral and lacking the long spines from base which are 
found in all the other examined species; uncus not (as in the others) strongly bifid at the tip. Kenya Colony; 
Kibwezi (W. Feather), a long series in the Tring Museum, besides one or two from other adjacent localities. 
— ab. fumata nov., occasional among the type form, is melanochroic, the irroration having overspread the fumaia. 
entire surface of the wings. 
B. subocularia Mah. (= analiplaga Warr.) (16b). Easily distinguished from all the preceding, apart ^oihocutaria. 
from slight differences in shape, and in the course of the lines, by the dark subtei’ininal clouding of the fore¬ 
wing behind the 3rd radial, closely approaching an inward curve of the post median, and by the pair of large 
black spots at the base of the abdomen above. Antenna with 3 or 4 less joints pectinated. Gold Coast to Bel¬ 
gian Congo; Mabille's tyjie was merely given as from “W. Africa", Warren's was from Nigeria. 
B. homoclera sp. n. (16 b) ditfei’s from all the rest in the relatively more elongate costa of tlie hind- homoclera. 
wing, but the blurred pattern of the wings somewhat recalls some forms of pteronyma. Abdomen as robust 
as in $ pteronyma, but tapering behind. Palpus and tongue slight. Pectinations moderate, stiff, continuing 
to nearer the tip of the antenna than in the abruptaria group. Face fuscous, rather narrowly buff below. Ab¬ 
domen more strongly dark-belted beneath than above. Hindtibia dilated, terminal spurs short. Fore wing 
with the 1st radial stalked (though shortly) with the 3rd —5th subcostal; antemedian and median bands, a 
dark cell-spot and a ])air of outer spots (before and behind the 3rd radial) indicated though not sharply defined; 
termen, especially at vein-ends strongly tinged with buff’; fringe alternately darker and lighter. Hindwing 
with less dense strigulation, except distally, and with 3 distinct lines; termen and fringe as on forewing. Under¬ 
side similar. Tanganyika Territory: Lindi. A A ii’i Zook Mus. Berlin. It bears some superficial reseml)lance to 
a Bhodophthitns. 
27. Genus: Ceriirograplia Janse. 
“Proboscis rather weak; palpus minute, fringed with long scales; frons rounded; antenna bipectinate 
in for about two-thirds\ pectination about 7 times shaft; legs heavily scaled, mid- and hindtil)ia fringed 
with long scales and hairs; hindtibia with 4 short spurs, without hair pencil.“ ForeAving with all veins, 1st and 
2nd subcostal free but closely approximated; a small fovea. Hindwing with costa relatively rather short, termen 
straightish from 2nd subcostal to a slight bend about the 1st median. ^ genitalia: uncus incurved at base, 
well curved downwards and ending in a fine point; gnathos rather narrow, elbowed at middle; valve tapering, 
its apex bluntly rounded, costa curved, well chitinized and, together with apex, covered Avith fairly long bristles; 
loAA'er margin folded over, pro Added at base A\dth a rounded patch AAdiich bears dense strong spines; A^esica AAuth 
a patch of many stout, long cornuti (Janse). Established for a single species; probably some of my Colocleora 
(e. g. spuria and faceta) may belong to it, but as its author depended largely upon the genitalia 1 haAm preferred 
not to place them Avith it until they have been studied from that standpoint.
