Sarisophora praecentrix Meyr. 
Having seen 3 other examples of this from the same locality, 
sent by Professor Forbes, I find the extent of dark fuscous colouring 
on antennae and palpi varies curiously; in one example the antennae 
and second joint of palpi are wholly dark fuscous. Vein 9 of fore¬ 
wings also varies in origin, rising more or less separate from 7.

Belgian Congo, Haut-TTele, Moku Hoto, May (L . Burgeon) ; 
1 ex. (Belg. Cong. Mus.). The tuft of palpi is abnormal in the 
genus, but not unique.
