middle of inner margin, swelling out, towards costa and extending to apex, before 

 which it emits a dark streak to middle of outer margin, followed above vein 7 

 by a small yellow spot ; the marginal area between the fascia and this streak 

 is pale yellow between veins 2 and 5, tinged with olive above and below them, the 

 veins themselves brown with a few neat transverse streaks, thickened into a slight 

 vertical blotch from anal angle ; fringe with basal half olive-fuscous, enter half paler 

 beyond the two folds ; costa with short jialc streaks. 



llindiriiKj : with the space below cell-fold and vein 5 yellow, with the veins 

 brown and the transverse markings well developed ; costal area suffnsed with olive ; 

 a broad irregular dark central fascia, forked and olive-tinged at anal angle ; a small 

 oval hyaline spot in upper end of cell ; fringe olive, tipped with yellow below middle. 



Underside similar, but the coloration duller. 



Head and thorax dnll yellow with an olive tinge ; dorsum browner, except the 

 anal segment; abdomen beneath pale oohreous like the legs; forelegs and palpi 

 brown. 



Expanse of wings : 28 mm.

22. Dysodia crassa \Vlk., ab. flavidula nov. 



Like crassa, but with the ground colour didl yellowish instead of red. 



In both forms the ? is rather larger than the i and much darker, the pale 

 ground being almost hidden by fuscous suft'usion, which also darkens the head 

 and thorax and to a less degree the abdomen. On the nnderside the costa and outer 

 band of forewing are olive-green, more conspicuously in the type form than in 

 flavidula. 



Three SS from Congella, Durban (G. F. Leigh), received with a pair of typical 

 crassa. 



A preserved larva (of the yellow form) is yellowish grey marbled with black, 

 and with ajiparently irregular blackish subdorsal blotches ; the tubercles beset with 

 short curved spines ; head black ; front of second segment with a black bar. 



23. Dysodia derufata spec. nov. 

 Differs from speculifera Sepp in being ochreous, sometimes with a fulvous 

 tinge, without any red suffusion excejit on abdomen ; the reticulations are more 

 minute and regular, taking the form of short transverse streaks between the veins^ 

 which are themselves also fuscous; this is especially noticeable in the hindwings^ 

 where the dark submarginal curve is quite absent ; the hyaline cell-spot of these 

 wings is reduced to two small subeontignous round spots.

24. Dysodia flagrata. 



Varnia flayntta Wlk. xxxiii. p. 827(lH(iO). 



This species is distinct from speculifera Sepp ; the costa of forewing is dark 

 brown from base to outer band ; and this band, instead of being funnel-shajied as in 

 Sejtp's species, forms a subqnadrate blotch on costa reaching to vein 5, from the inner 

 angle of which a dark oblique line runs to beyond middle of inner margin, while 

 from its outer angle an irregularly-bent streak runs to anal angle ; the cell-spot 

 of hindwing consists of two small hyaline white dots, limited externally by a black 

 central line which is thickened into a blotch above tlie median vein,
