A pretty species, superficially recalling Pseudomaenas alcidata Feld. 

 The genus Microligia seems only to differ from Argyrophora Guen. 

 (type trofonia Cram.) in that R 3 and M 1 of the hindwing are not 

 stalked, and is perhaps scarcely tenable. 



GEN. PSEUDOMAENAS, nom. iiov. 



Agrammodes Warr., Ann. S. Afr. Mus. x, 27 (1911), nee Uhler 

 (1895). 



18. PSEUDOMAENAS ONCODOGRAMMA, sp. nov. 



$ . 35 mm. Head and body concolorous Avith wings ; palpus more 

 brown. Antenna minutely ciliated. 



Fore-wing shaped and coloured about as in anguinata Feld. (Reise 

 Novara, Lep. Het. t. 129, f. 1), light violet-grey, costally slightly 

 more brownish ; sparse black sprinkling ; markings black, narrowly and 

 inconspicuously edged with light brown ; a large triangle arising at 

 hindmargin close to base, its anterior side over 4 mm. long, the apex 

 entering the cell, its posterior side 5 mm., just crossing SM 1 , its distal 

 side 3 mm. ; a large, somewhat comma-shaped mark in the cell, its 

 broad, distal end crossing the discocellulars ; a postmedian baud not 

 reaching costa, its proximal edge shaped nearly as in anguinata but 

 more oblique posteriorly, its distal edge strongly sinuous, angled 

 inwards on M 2 , so that the baud gradually widens in the middle and 

 is constricted at the angle ; a very fine whitish line distally to this 

 baud, as in anguinata ; an oblique dash close to apex ; terminal line 

 not or scarcely interrupted. Hindwing almost unmarked, a very faint 

 sinuous postmedian line discernible in some lights. Underside almost 

 unmarked. 



Transvaal, Pilgrim's Eest (Miss L. Schunke). 



An interesting link between anguinata Feld. and intricata Walk. 

 (List Lep. Ins. xii, 814 = maculipennis Wllgren., Svensk. Akad. 

 Handl. v (4) 72 = callistege Feld. t. 132, p. 29), though nearer to the 

 former. 



GEN. HEBDOMOPHRUDA Warr. 



19. HEBDOMOPHRUDA CRENILINEA, sp. uov. 



$. 34mm. Closely similar to apicata Warr. (Nov. Zool. iv, 101), 

 from Natal and Cape Colony, of which species it may even conceivably 

 be a local modification. Middle segments of abdomen strongly infus- 

 cated dorsally.
