in the middle ; border-bristles pale golden; long basal white 
patches, almost extending the whole length of the segments ; 
venter entirely creamy-white scaled. 
Legs uniformly brown, paler at the base and with white 
apices to the femora ; fore and mid ungues equal and uniserrate, 
hind equal and simple, tips of tibiae paler in some lights. 
Wings with brown scales with bronzy reflections; the first 
fork-cell considerably longer and narrower than the second 
posterior, its base a little nearer the base of the wing, its stem 
about half the length of the cell; stem of the second fork-cell 
not quite as long as the cell; posterior cross-veins not quite 
as long as the mid, about one and a half times its own 
length distant; the posterior border-scales with long projecting 
spines. 
Length .-—5 to 5 * 5 mm. 
Habitat.— Bihe, Angola (Dr. Creighton Wellman), and 
Katema Bihe. 
Time of capture. —2. 6. ii. and v. 1907. 
Observations .—Described from five 9’s. 
One 9 bred out from pupa in front pool, two taken in house 
at 9 p.m. I have placed it in the genus Protomacleaya, as the 
squamose characters just agree. It is a marked species examined 
under the microscope, but obscure with the lens. The pale 
venter, long lateral pale spots and the marked border-scales of 
the wing are all very characteristic.
