In 1925 (Bull. Ent. Res., xv, p. 289) I described a species of Metadrepana (M. andersoni, Tams) the larvae of which were found defoliating coffee in Kenya Colony in 1922. Figures were given of the male genitalia of three species. The species described below has for some years been known by the name Metadrepana glauca, Hampson, but a year or two ago I discovered, on examining some specimens sent to the Imperial Bureau of Entomology by Mr. H. Hargreaves, that these were not M. glauca, but a new species. Mr. G. L. R. Hancock has recently sent a good series of this new species, which is a very variable one, and I am now able to describe it.
