180. Heterostegane indularia Gnen. ab. calidata nov. 



Guenee's type of Steqania induhu-ia was from Abyssinia ; the species occurs 

 also in S. Africa, but appears to be very variable in the strength of the markings. 

 The extreme form here described might well be mistaken for a separate species. 

 Instead of the pale yellow gronnd-colour of the type, its ground-colour is deep 

 yellow ; the ferruginons markings of the type are intensified, and, besides, the other 

 three lines, basal, median, and exterior, are all marked, wavy and denticulate, in 

 ferruginous, the costa being deep ferruginous throughout. The difference is not 

 sexnal, both sexes occurring from Natal agreeing with the type-form and with the 

 aberration. 



181. Hydatocapnia fumosa sp. nov. 



Forewings: ashy grey, dnsted with darker, becoming purplish grey beyond the
