 ah. EUFIFIMBKIA, ab. nov. 



The specimens of this species from Barberton in the Transvaal 

 are all slightly reddish tinged, and, in particular, show the fringe 

 reddish ; they may, in fact, lie specifically distinct ; for the hind- 

 wings have the termen more strongly rounded or bent than 

 bigeminata, and show an additional line beyond the cellspot.

 ah. DISCATA, ah. nov. 



Differs from the type in having a large brown cellspot in the 

 forewing, followed by a small diffuse brown cloud ; in the hind- 

 wing there is a large diffuse brownish-grey cloud reaching from 

 vein 6 to 2, including the cellspot on its inner edge, and ex- 

 ternally reaching beyond the median line ; neither the cellspots 

 nor the dark clouds accompanying them are expressed on the 

 underside.

1 ? from Dunbrody, Cape. (Father J. O'Neil.) 



In the British Museum Collection several specimens from the 

 Cape are partially red-tinged. 



I originally placed this genus and species in the Oeuochro- 

 minae ; they are better referred, as Mr. Prout proposes, to the 

 Sterrhinae.
