82 Mr. Roland Triraen on some New 



Genus D'Uijbania, Trim.

This near ally of the type of the genus, D. amakosa, 

 Trim., is easily distinguished by the different form and 

 position of the hind-marginal orange-red band on the 

 upper-side of both wings and also on the under-side of the 

 fore-wings. It was first taken (1882-84) at Estcourt, in 

 Natal, by Mr. J. M. Hutchinson, and afterwards met with 

 in the same locality by Mr. C. W. Morrison. The late Mr. 

 A. E. Hunt took a series of both sexes at Newcastle, in 

 the northernmost part of Natal, in April of 1893 and 1894 ; 

 and also found the pupsp of a D'Urbania attached to the 

 under-suiface of over-hanging stones on the same hill 

 where I), linihata was numerous. He sent me two dead 

 pupffi and four pupa-skins, which presented no^marked 

 difference from those of D. amakosa, except that on the 

 back and sides the tufts of hair on the thorax and basal 

 half of the abdomen are all sandy, and those on the 

 terminal half of the abdomen are composed partly of sandy 

 (instead of whitish) and partly of dark brown bristles. 



I have not seen examples of this species from any other 

 locality than those above mentioned, but Staudinger notes 

 " Transvaal " as a habitat. 



D'Urbania saga, Trim. (Plate VI, fig. 22.) 



D' Urbania saga, Trim., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1883, p. 354 ; 

 and S.-Afr. Butt., ii, p. 219 (1887), iii, App. II, 

 p. 417 (1889). 



This butterfly is altogether unlike its congeners, and 

 may at once be recognized by the conspicuous sharply- 

 angulated inwardly brown-bordered white discal stripe on 

 the under-side of the hind-wing. It may be noted, too, 

 that the club of the antennae is more abruptly formed, 

 rounder, and broader than in D. amakosa and D. limbata. 



First discovered at Hex River, Worcester District,
