scattered blackish scales ; veins ochreous brown ; a blackish streak 

 from base along fold (not reaching antemedian line), throwing out a 

 slighter streak along SM 2 ; antemedian line blackish, from one-fourth 

 or two- sevenths costa, very oblique outward to M at origin of M 2 (but 

 indented or accompanied by a proximal dash behind SO), from M very 

 oblique inward and slightly sinuous to before SM 2 , very oblique 

 inward to hindmargin ; postmedian very slightly creuulate, from E, 1 

 about 2'5 mm. from termen, slightly incurved about M 2 to fold, 

 bluntly or moderately toothed outward between fold and SM 2 ; a fine 

 whitish line accompanying the postmedian distally ; a bi'oad (over 

 1 mm.) oblique white or whitish streak from apex to end of cell' 

 underlined (at least in its distal part) with blackish ; subterminal 

 line pale, very ill-defined distally, where the ground-colour is paler 

 than proximally ; an irregular blackish patch between it and the 

 posterior sinus of postmedian line; termen with blackish lunules ; 

 fringe dark-mottled. Hindwing with termen weakly crenulate, rather 

 more strongly about SO 2 and R 1 ; grey-brown, slightly darker 

 distally than proximally ; a vague pale postmedian line, curving a 

 little towards tornus posteriorly. Both wings beneath pale grey-brown 

 or brown-grey, with traces of paler postmedian line ; forewing with 

 costal edge somewhat dotted with fuscous ; hiudwing with a distinct 

 discal dot. 



Cape, Kenilworth, May, 1901 (W. L. Sclater). 



I have described as typical the form which prevails at Cape Town, 

 and which I have also seen from Basutolaud, Johannesburg, etc. ; but 

 the species seems to be very variable in the expression of the markings, 

 the dark mottlings, etc. When, as in the name-type, the white apical 

 streak entirely obliterates the postmedian line it is very sharply 

 characterised, but often (Anushaw and sometimes Deelfontein) this 

 streak is less sharply white and the line continues across it. Always, 

 however, it is very easily distinguishable from the allied inangulata 

 Warr. (Nov. Zool. xii, 408) by the very much less angulated post- 

 median line.
