Gnophodes Grogani, sp. n. Allied to G. parmeno, Doubl. & Hewits., [Gnophodes parmeno Doubleday, (1849)] but at once distinguished by the large dark brand on the primaries.
Primaries. Ground-colour rich brown, with a distinct transverse band of dull ochreous yellow near the apical area; this band broadest on the costal margin and gradually diminishing along the hind margin; a large dark brown brand above the sub-median nervure, extending into the cell. The outline of the wings is more rounded than in G. parmeno, especially as regards the primaries.
Secondaries. Entirely rich brown, with a pale fulvous line indicated along the hind margin.
Underside. Very similar to that of G. parmeno, but with the whole aspect of the primaries darker, the lighter bands having a faint shading of mauve; the small spots near the apex yellow.
Secondaries. Much duller than in G. parmeno, the characteristic streak along the costal margin darker; the hindmarginal row of spots yellow instead of white; a distinct shading of mauve apparent on the inner margin.
Expanse 2°9 inches. Hab. Mushari, 8000 feet. June [3]
