140 A. J. T. JANSE. 



tibife covered with long white hairs, shaft of antenna with 

 white scales on upper side ; thorax above with long glaucous- 

 grey (XL VIII) hairs ; palpi with chgetura drab (XLVI) hairs ; 

 tarsi I'inged with white. 



Fore wing ground colour chgetura drab ; at base some long 

 white hairs ; hyaline patches and markings, thinly covered 

 with white scales ; a sub-basal series of irregular patches 

 beginning at costa to near inner margin; a big rounded 

 medial patch in cell and small round marks above and before 

 it on costa; three similar marks below it, the middle one a 

 little inwards ; a light broad streak below lower median from 

 sub-basal to medial patches ; a post-medial series of broad 

 rounded spots, first three confluent and from costa to vein 9, 

 two near subterminal spots between veins 5 and 7, two more 

 inwardly between 3 and 5 and two more outwardly between 

 IcandS; a subterminal series of 7 rather smaller rounded 

 spots between costa and vein 3 ; cilia white with a fuscous 

 base. 



Hind wing with the ground colour as in upper wing ; a 

 white area in cell and below it as far as Ic ; beyond it a slight 

 irregular light poi'tion, which is diffusely covered with scales 

 of ground colour suggesting a series of post-medial and sub- 

 terminal confluent spots ; inner marginal area covered with 

 long white hairs ; cilia as in upper wing. Under side as 

 above, but markings less clearly defined and more confluent ; 

 on hind wing some additional subcostal white scaling on basal 

 half and a similar post-medial patch near costa. 



On account of the appearance of Mr. Hardenberg^s papei's 

 on the life-histories of the bagworms I previously described 

 this species in 1917 ('Ann. Natal Museum,' vol. iii, p. 613), 

 from material which has now proved inadequate. Since then 

 better specimens have been reared by Mr. Hardenberg and 

 they all show the white markings distinctly. During flight 

 these markings readily disappear, giving the specimen a 

 rubbed appearance as mentioned in the original description. 

 There is no doubt whatever that the specimen (New Hanover, 

 February 3rd, 1917) described here is identical with the type
