small sugar-loaf shaped blotch, pointing to a round spot on the median, vertically 

 beneath which is another on the submediau fold; at one-half and three-fourths 

 two more spots of the same shape, but more elongated, the first followed by two 

 round spots, one on the submedian, the other on the fold ; these two are followed 

 immediately by a similar pair close to the anal angle, containing a smaller oval sjmt 

 between them ; the latter is followed at the middle of the hindmargin by four spots 

 l)laeed quadrangularl}', the two lowest confluent, the outside ui)per one smaller 

 than the rest; apex .ind apical half of hindmargin with the fringe black; lower 

 half of fringe concolorous. Hindwings with apex black, and seven spots, one at 

 the costa, one at the anal angle, tliree round ones, forming an equilateral 

 triangle in the middle of the hindmargin, and two smaller ones, one discal, the 

 other beyond it ; fringes yellow except against the black apical blotch. Underside 

 precisely similar. Head, face, tongue, antennae and thorax black ; collar, jialpi, 

 and patagia orange fulvous ; abdomen yellow with broad lilack segmental rings 

 above ; legs cinereous. 



Expanse of wings : 28 mm. 



One cJ in the Feld. collection from Soutli Africa; placed among V. ijunllwravia 

 Feld. That species has the fringes black except for a short si)ace at the anal 

 angle, and all the markings plumbeous; selinata Feld. has the fringes of both 

 wings wholly dark. 



Zerenopsis gen. nov. 



Resembles Diptyclds Feld., with the following differences: the discocellular 

 is angiilated, especially in the hindwings, where the upper arm is short and 

 vertical, the lower oblique and three times as long. Neuration of hindwings in 

 S normal ; antennae alike in both sexes, thick, laminated.

Xanthabraxas gen. nov. 



Forewings with costa very convex, almost shouldered at base, and again 

 convex before apex, which is bluntly rounded, and not pointed ; hindmargin 

 uniformly curved. Hindwings with their hindmargin well rounded. Palpi weak, 

 subrostriform, horizontally porrect ; third joint hardly \isible, slightly drooping ; 

 tongue weak; antennae of c? thickened and laminated; hind tibiae of ^ not 

 thickened, with two pair of spurs; abdomen long. Iseuration : cell two-thirds as 

 long as wings; discocellular hardly angulated in middle; lateral margins of cell 

 towards the end inclined inwards; first median nervulc from beyond two-thirds; 

 second at seven-eighths; third from lower angle of cell ; lower radial from middle 

 of discocellular; upper from top angle of cell ; common .stem of last four subcostals 

 at seven-eighths; first subcostal free. Hindwings: costal closely approximated to 

 subcostal for half the length of cell.
