Show 96 DR. W. J. HOLLAND ON THE AFRICAN [Jan. 14, recurved. The palpi are short, with the first and second joints densely clothed with hairs, the third joint minute and almost concealed by the vestiture of the second joint. The tibia? are clothed with long hairs, and those of the hind legs are armed with Head and neuration of Acallopistes holocausta, Mab., 3' ?• double terminal spurs. The anterior wings are sub triangular, with the inner and outer margins subequal and straight. The costa is evenly rounded, the apex is acute. The cell of the primaries is a little less than two-thirds the length of the costa, with the upper angle acute and the lowrer angle obtuse. Vein 12 reaches the costa before the end of the cell; vein 5 is slightly nearer vein 4 than vein 6 ; veins 6, 7, and 8 rise from about the upper angle of the cell; vein 3 is twice as far from vein 2 as from vein 4 ; vein 2 is equidistant between the base and vein 3. The secondaries have the costa relatively straight. The outer margin is evenly rounded to the extremity of vein 1 b, at which the M'ing is produced somewhat sharply. The inner margin is gently rounded and somewhat excavated before the base. The cell is less than half the distance from the base to the outer margin. Vein 5 is distinct. Vein 2 arises beyond the middle of the lower margin of the cell, vein 3 a little before its end. Vein 7 arises from well before the end of the cell, and vein 3 twice as far from vein 7 as from the base. Type A. holocausta, Mab. The two species referable to this genus are moderately large insects, uniformly dark in colour and without any conspicuous markings. 318. A. HOLOCAUSTA, Mab. (Plate V. fig. 13.) Erinota holocausta, Mab. C. R. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1891, p. cxi. Hab. Cameroons (Mabille). This insect is not an Erinota, nor in any way nearly related to the insects properly included in that genus. I find it more closely |
