position, but all the other characters taken together leave 

 very little doubt that they inust be placed in this genus. 



Subgenus Manatha Moore. 



Manatha Moore, A.M.N.H. (4), xx, p. 346, 1877. Type, albipes, from 

 Ceylon ; Hampson, ' Moths of India," vol. i, p. 298. 



The following description is given by Hampson : 

 "Male. — Fore wing with vein Ih and Ic anastomosing; 4, 

 5 and 8, 9 stalked; vein 6 from near iipper angle of cell. 

 Hind wing with vein 6 present ; a bar between vein 7 

 and 8." 



The three specimens which I take to be M. ^ethiops 

 Hmpsn., bred by Mr. Hardenberg from a long thin thorn- 

 like bag, vary a little in their venation. One specimen 

 (No. a) has 4 and 5 of fore wing on a short stalk ; nnother 

 (No. h) has these veins .springing from one point; the third 

 specimen (No. c) has these veins far apart. Specimen h has 

 the left hind wing with vein 5 and 6 on a short stalk. In 

 none of the three specimens is vein 8 of hind wing like it is 

 in the typical Manatha; there is no bar, but vein 8 is free 

 and more or less parallel to the upper median for half upper 

 median, then it anastomoses with that vein and with vein 7 

 for about one-fourth of 7, then it goes obliquely to the costa.

I have not been able to compare the three specimens I have 

 with the type specimens (from the Cape Colony), but they 

 correspond sufficiently with the short description to leave 

 little doubt about the correctness of the identification. My 

 specimens, however, show no white scaling on the body ; but 

 they are badly rubbed on head, thorax, and abdomen. The 

 wings are thinly covered with bulfy-brown (XL) hairs. 



Hab. — Three male specimens, bred by C. B. Hardenberg, 

 from bags collected in Westfalia (Zoutpansberg District).
