 2 A and 3A. The apical part of 2 A and 3J. is also blackish. At the 

 hind margin of the wing between the apex of 1.4 and the tip of first- 

 branch from Pscu a blackish spot. In the hind wing all the cross-veins 

 except a few ones in the basal part of the costal area and sometimes 

 also a few ones in the outer gradate series yellowish. At the junction 

 of the cross-veins with the longitudinal veins often a minute blackish 

 spot. Pterostigma long, greyish yellow. In the forewing 19-24 costal 

 cross-veins; 12-18 cross-veins between R and Us; 5-6 cross-veins 

 between Rs and Psm ; 5-6 cross-veins between Psm and Pscu ; 10-12 

 branches from Pscu to the hind margin, 1 or 2 of the apical ones forked. 

 In the hindwing 19-20 cross-veins in the costal area ; 12-15 cross-veins 

 between R and Rs ; 4-5 cross-veins between Rs and Psm ; 7-8 cross-

 in the Cape Province. 



The species has much likeness to varieyata, but the rugose frons and 

 vertex, the markings of the prothorax, the difference in the nervature of 

 the wings and the shape of claws separate it easily from that species. 



I name the species after Dr. L. Pt'ringuey, who has done so much in

One species is still known from South Africa, viz. Nothochrysa 

 gigantea, MacLachlan, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., p. 252, 1867 (Natal). 

 I do not know the species ; but its prothorax is scarcely as long as
