COLOCLEORA. By L. B. Prout.

1st and 2nd subcostals very shortly stalked; hindwing with costal closely a])proximated to subcostal almost 
to the middle of the cell. The large black cell-spot, crossed on the forewing by the strongly sinuous median 
shade, and the thick, dentate black lines (finely white-edged on their reverse sidis) w-hich bound the grey median 
area, the postmedian shaped somewhat as in iconoclasis, are quite striking. Ghinkolobwe (Haut Katanga), 
13 October 1931, type (J hr the collection of Dr. J. Romieux. 
C. ansorgei Warr. (16 c), which may probably have to sink to monogram maria, has some near resem- ansonjcl. 
blance to divisaria, but the black markings more intense, the antemedian less curved, the brown shades less 
cinnamon and less extended, the cell-mark of the forewing generally longer, angular, the postmedian with its 
angle rounded off; there are also, especially in the appreciable distinctions in the shape. Nigeria to Uganda, 
the type from the Congo. — tlchomeca subsp. nov. is larger ((^ 52 mm), termen more oblique, black markings lichowcca. 
(including the cell-spot) broad. A fine ^ from Sao Thome, January 1926 (T. A. Barns, now in the British 
Museum collection. 
C. catalai sp. n. (17 b). Abdomen less elongate than in monogrammaria, which species it resembles in catalal. 
coloration and markings; wings a trifle broader. Forewing with 1st and 2nd subcostals shortly stalked, 3rd 
discocellular not deeply angled; antemedian curving inward anteriorly, its diiplicating line rather strong; very 
characteristic (but perhaps inconstant, compare spuria, and leucosfephana) is the broad lirowm median band, 
which extends from the duplicating line of the antemedian to just beyond the ])ostmedian. Hindwing with the 
postmedian line more curved about the radials than in monogravvmaria] proximal shade of the subterminal 
not blackened near the tornus. Foret dTsaka, near Fort Darrphin, Madagascar (R. Catala), a ^ in the Tring 
Museum. 
C. monogrammaria Mab., said to be from “Zambesi”, is a large $ iir poor condition, very much like monogram- 
some Gold Coast $$ of ansorgei, and the locality given is perhaps erroneous. If it really differs constantly from maru 
that, it may be in the less long cell-mark, the more divisaria-\i\^Q toire of the brown shades and the weaker 
dark mark at the anal angle of tire hindwing. Mabille’s is the older name. 
C. prona sp. n. (18 b). (J, 40—42 mm. Like ansorgei, with almost the same structure and scheme of prona. 
markings. Antennal pectinations apparently somewhat longer but ceasing a few joints earlier. Body and 
wings above brown (almost ochraceous-buff) instead of whitish, the markings of a rather warmer brown than 
in ansorgei; forewing with antemedian excurved anteriorly instead of almost straight. W. Kivu; Upper Lowa 
Valley, near Masisi, 5000—6000 feet and Middle Lowa Valley, near Walikali, 3000—4000 feet, 3 collected 
in forest country, February 1924, wet season (T. A. Barns).. 
C. anisoscia sp). n. (16 d). 47— 53 mm. Strongly recalls a large pale ansorgei except in the curved and anisoscia. 
oblique antemedian line of the forewing the shape of the hindwing and some slight structural details; really 
nearer to divisaria, though very different in colour and without the long ])rong in the postmedian line. Palpus 
U/)^^, rather stout. Antenna less than jA -wing-length; pectinations long, blackish, apical jA non-pectinate. 
Hindwing rather strongly crenulate, with a slightly stronger tooth at the 3rd radial. W. Kivu: 2 each from 
the same localities and dates as prona (16 d). I have since seen in the Congo Museum a $ from Kindu. 
C. probola sp. n. (18 b). A small species, but structurally pretty typical. Palpus longer than diameter probola. 
of eye. Fore- and midtibia fringed. Forewing Avith costa arched distally, termen fairly long; 1st and 2nd sub¬ 
costals very shortly stalked; pale, with a tinge of pinkish buff, the lines slight, the dark basal patch bounded 
as in ansorgei, the other principal marking a red-brown, fuscous-mixed subapical patch, separated, by the 
whitish commencement of a sidAterminal, from a small streak or AA’-edge close to apex. HindAving ratlier small. 
Avith costal margin not longer than abdominal (compare ansorgei)-, markings slight. Underside similarly but 
more Aveakly marked, only the costal dots of hindAving strengthened. French Giiinea: Soundedou. near Ma- 
centa, 1600 feet, 13 May 1926 (C. L. Collenette), type and paratype q . Also single J'cJ from Bingerville, 
Bitje and Lake Victoria (Bunyako). 
C. expanse Warr. (16 e) has the first tAvo subcostals long-stalked, especially in the $, and is only assigned e.rpansa. 
temporarily to Colocleora in default of a better position; Warren described it, from a Nigerian $, as “Eu- 
byja?”, an even more unacceptable position. Excepting the short antenna and jralpns, it shoAvs little sign of 
the special characters of the present genus. Rather large, especially the $, the AA'ings exceptionally broad and 
Avell rounded, Avith Avhitish gronnd-colour and Aveakly marked throughout, someAvhat recalling a AA'orn pulverosa 
(18 b). Distributed from Sierra Leone to Uganda, the but series yet obtained being from BingerAulle. — ken- kenyensi'^. 
yensis subsp. nov. More evenly irrorated, the cleaner Avhite band betAveen postmedian and sAibterminal almost 
obliterated; postmedian AAuth the teeth blackened, its course on liindAving■ more strongly oblique to the hind- 
margin. Nairobi, only a feAv specimens yet knoAAm; the sule $ labelled Karura Forest; type o ^Ins. Tring. 
C. sciabola sp. n. (16 d). Also unlike typical Colocleora in shape, the first two subcostals in both sexes sclahola. 
moderately stalked, the fovea obsolescent, the ^ hindtibia Avith a hair-pencil; head and foreleg more typically
