Hab. — Transvaal; Barberton (Eendall). — German and Biitisb East Africa.

A moderately small genus confined to tropical and subtropical Africa. 

 Three species are here enumerated and figured. 



15. Phasicnecus subcroceus, sp. n. (Tab. VII., fig. 1'2.) 



Male. Head and pronotum somewhat dark ochraceous ; abdomen, body beneath, and legs much 

 paler ochraceous ; antennse and eyes black ; anterior wings above somewhat dark ochraceous, the costal 

 margin and fringe croceous, and crossed by two transverse fuscous linear fasciae, the first near middle 

 outwardly oblique but inwardly recurved on costal area, the second between first and outer margin, 

 oblique and terminating on outer margin a little before apex ; posterior wings croceous, abdominal area 

 with three piceous spots, of which the two lower are most distinct ; both wings beneath uniformly 

 croceous. 



Male. Exp. wings, 52 millim. 



Hab. — Transvaal ; Pretoria (Zutrzenka). 



16. Phasicnecus evanescens, sp. n. 



Male. Body above fulvous ; head, body beneath, and legs 

 croceous ; antennae with the pectinations greyish ; anterior wings 

 above fulvous with almost obliterated transverse linear fasciae, the first 

 practically obsolete and not anteriorly recurved, the second a little 

 more distinct, and directed as in P. subcroceus ; posterior wings croceous 

 without black spots on abdominal area ; both wings beneath uniformly 

 ochraceous. 



Male. Exp. wings, 45 millim. 

 Fig. 7.-Phasicnecus evanescens. Hab.— Transvaal ; Lydenburg District (Krantz). 



A species allied to P. subcroceus by the length of the anterior wings, the colour of which 

 is fulvous not ochraceous, with the transverse fasciae almost obliterated, and the inner fascia 

 not anteriorly recurved ; colour of antennae also different.
