hindwing with costa somewhat more elongate, termen not crennlate, its posterior part scarcely even nndulate. 
Basal area of forewing and outer band of both wings brown, mixed with blackish, not cinnamon; antemedian 
of forewing from hindmargin to cell-fold as in divisaria, here bent and forming an inward curve to the costal 
spot, which is 5 mm from the base; postmedian of forewing at both ends a little over 5 mm from termen, only 
very weakly carved to the very obtuse angle at 3rd radial, from thence to 2nd submedian forming an ex¬ 
tremely shallow siniis and not dentate; median line faint on forewing, on hindwing more concise and straighter 
than in divisaria; postmedian of hindwing black, very near the small black cell-dot, less irregular than in any 
divisaria; an irregular pale subterminal indicated on both wings, in places (especially at hindmargin of hind- 
Aving) with dark shading proximally. Underside nniform brown-grey, both wings with cell-dot and little-curved 
postmedian line, which is dark-marked at the veins. Diego Suarez (G. Melou), 1 ^ in the Tring Museum. 
C. bipannosa sp. n. (10 f). d* 44 mm, $ 50 mm. Palpus short. Pectinations very long, continuing to 
beyond ‘‘/j shaft. Forelegs lost in the ; hindtibia not dilated. Upperside of the ^ with nearly the colours of 
cAnnamomoneura, the shape and pattern different, the veins not cinnamon; of the $ someAvhat duller (greyer). 
Forewing with the 1st and 2nd subcostal separate in the (J, long-stalked in the $; median shade weak; lines 
arising from small black costal spots; postmedian with sharp black teeth outward; subterminal distinctive, 
showing not only the cinnamon-tinged patch of the simulatrix group but also a central Avhite one. Underside 
of forewing still more distinctive, with strong cell-mark and (less irregular) postmedian and with dark ter¬ 
minal shading, especially anteriorly, which leaves free a conspicuous Avhitish apical spot and a pale patch in 
cellule 3. Nyasaland: Zomba, March 1922 (H. Baklow), the type Mt. Mlanje, 21 April 1913 (S. A. Neave), 
1 $, worn. Both are in the British Museum, together with a good $ from Mrvengwa, N. Rhodesia, 20 Sep¬ 
tember 1913 (H. C. Dollman). 
C. dollmani sp. n. (lOf). Misled by the similarity of its colouring to that of the last-mentioned 
formerly sup])Osed this to be a remarkable aberration. Wings less broad, cell-marks smaller, postmedian on 
neither wing bent outward at 1st radial, no trace shown of a cinnamon subapical spot. Underside much simpler, 
white-grey, with reniform grey irroration, only the cell-marks and somewhat macidar postmedian present, the 
latter Avith stronger black costal spots. Foretibia hairy. ForeAving Avith 1st and 2nd subcostals short-stalked, 
not separate. N. \\h Rhodesia: SohAezi, October 1917 (H. C. Dollman), a in the British Museum. 
C. cinnamomoneura sp. n. (16 h). Closely similar to simulatrix, possibly a race of it, but aaMIi the 
])ostmedian line on both Avings less bent. Expanse 40—42 mm. ForeAving much darker than in normal simu- 
Jatrix (grey, betAA^een neutral grey and deep ])lumbeous), the veins mostly pinkish cinnamon dotted AAutli black; 
hindAAung also partly dark, but more suffused Avith pale cinnamon as far as the postmedian line. (A similarly 
darkened $ simulatrix, from Bingerville, is, hoAvever knoAvn to me). Underside paler, the foreAving Avith a 
tinge of plumbeous grey, the hindAving Avith a tinge of buff; markings Aveak, except the cell-spots; postmedians 
indicated by vein-dots. MariAngu Plateau (W. side), S. W. of Tanganyika; 7000 feet, February 1922, type (5'; 
Ruanda District, Lake Kivu: Rugege Forest, 7000 feet, December 1921, a smaller (^; both collected by Mr. 
T. A. Barns (Joicey Collection). 
C. simulatrix Warr. ($ ochriplaga Prout) (16f). Characters ]>retty closely as gUen in the generic- 
diagnosis, the tongue fairly robust, though short, the distal margins in the $ markedly crennlate, especially 
on the hinrlAving. 1st and 2nd subcostals free in the cj, long-stalked in the $. The rather Avarm coloAiring, 
except Avhen (as is chiefly the case in $$) this is much irrorated or suffused Avith fuscous, the narroAV median 
area, the clear ochreous sirbapical patch of the foreAving (very conspicuoiis in most $$) and the Avell irrorated. 
extremely AA'eakly marked underside are the best characters for recognition. The $ is considerably larger than 
the (^, Avith the hincLving more crenate. — ab. remotata Warr., described on a Tore (Uganda) (J as a species, 
does not really recpnre a separate name, though the specimen has the postmedian line of the foreAving more 
deeply incurved in its posterior half and here a little thickened. - - simulatrix should be more closely studied, for 
it has been bred from castor oil, cotton and coffee and might, if it multiplied, assume economic importance. 
I have earlier determined it (through the Imperial Institute of Entomology) as ‘"Hemerophila” simulatrix. It 
is already knoAAm to be distributed from Sierra Leone by LTganda, if not also Kenya. — crenifera subsp. nov. 
is considerably larger (46 mm), relatiA^ely longer-Avinged, the distal margins, especially that of the hinclAving, 
more markedly dentate; more mottled and Avith the postmedian line of the underside somewhat better expressed 
than in typical simulatrix. Mt. Elgon. October 1931 (T. H. E. Jackson), type (J in the British MiAseum, A $ 
from Kitale, Kenya, Avhich agrees fairly Avell Avith it, expands 55 mm and has the teeth of the hindAving still 
further deA^eloped, 
C. oncera sp. n. (16 f). Also considerably larger than simulatrix ((^ 46—53 mm, $ unknoAvn), distal 
margin of foreAAung somewhat more oblique than in the of that species, that of the hindAving not more crenu- 
late. Variable in the degree of dark clouding, but very seldom as clear as in typical simulatrix (A; median area
