fourth part of Sc in the forewiug strongly blackish, and all the other 

 longitudinal veins with a long dark brown streak at the junction with 

 the cross-veins. All the cross-veins and the most of the longitudinal 

 veins in the apical half part dark brown. Pterostigma pale greyish 

 brown, somewhat darker at its basal end. The hexagonal cell in the 

 forewing, touching the hind margin and lying just at the tip of Cu. 2 , 

 often totally brownish suffused ; sometimes there are present only a 

 brownish spot at the tip of CM., and a smaller one, where the second cross- 

 vein between Cu^ and Cu* touches Cj. In one specimen there are also 

 traces of small spots where the first branch from Cu*, tip of I A, 2 A and 

 3 A join the hind border. In the forewing 17-18 cross-veins in the costal 

 area ; 9 cross-veins in the radial area ; 4 cross-veins between Us and 

 Psi ; 6 cross-veins between Psm and Pscu. The basal median cell 

 lanceolate, and the first cross-vein from Es joins M l within the cell. 

 In the hindwing 14-16 cross-veins in the costal area ; 8-9 cross-veins 

 in the radial area ; 3 cross-veins between Its and Psm. Gradate veins

haired. 



Length of forewing 10'5 mm ; of hindwing 8-9 mm. 



The species is easily separated from all other African species known 

 to me by the blackish basal part of Sc and by the brownish spot or 

 spots at the hind margin of the forewing.

Schneider, Symbolae, etc., p. 95, pi. 26, 1851. 



One specimen, Stellenbosh, 1888, Cape (L. Peringuey leg.) ; two 

 specimens, M'fongosi, Zululand, October, 1911 ("W. E. Jones leg.) ; one 

 specimen, Carnarvon, Cape, 1896 (E. G. Alston) ; one specimen, Potchef- 

 stroom, Transvaal (T. Ayres leg.) ; one specimen, Smithfield, Orange 

 Free State (Kaniiemeyer leg.). 



I refer these six specimens to the species of Schneider, although 

 only one specimen exactly agrees with the description. The four 

 specimens have a bloody streak 011 each gena, on each side of the 

 clypeus, on the vertex close to the margin of the eyes and along the 

 exterior side of the basal antennal joint. These four specimens seem 

 to be somewhat immature. The sixth species is a rather old one, and 

 the head seems to be immaculate. With regard to the shape and to 

 the nervature of the wings they agree in every respect with the species 

 of Schneider.
