ye INSECTA TRANSVAALIENSIA. 



Appendix to the Heterocerous Families prevmisly enumerated. 



As I have for the present terminated my description and enumeration of the Transvaal 

 Moths, it is necessary to refer to a few species that have reached my hands since the 

 publication of the previous part of this work. 



Fam. SATURNIIDiE {ante, p. 51). 

 Genus BUNtEA (ante, p. 57). 



(After B. tyrrhena, ante, p. 68.) 



24. Bunaea epithyrena, var. (Tab. VII., fig. 13.) 



Bim<ra cpithyremi, Maasen & Weymer, Beitr. Schmett. v. figs. 86, 87 (1886) ; Sonth. Ess. Classif. Lepid. 

 product, de Soie (3" fascic), p. 37, pi. xviii. fig. 1 (1901). 



Hab.— Transvaal ; Shilouvane in Zoutpansberg (Junod ; Pret. Mus. and Coll. Dist.). — Hitherto 

 known from Zanzibar. 



The varietal form here figured agrees with the figure of Sonthonnax in exhibiting the 

 transverse fascia to the anterior wings above. From the figure of its original describers, Maasen 

 and Weymer, it differs by the almost obsolete fuscous discal spots to the wings beneath. 



25. Bunaea patruelis, sp. n. (Tab. VII., fig. 14.) 



Male. Body pale tawny ; prouotum reddish ochraceous, anterior margin, posterior lateral margins 

 of pronotnm and "lateral margins of sternum creamy white ; antennae, disk of sternum, and legs fuscous; 

 anterior wings fawn-coloured, the costal area reddish ochraceous, the outer marginal area dull greyish, a 

 small talc-like spot at end of cell ; posterior wings bright reddish ochraceous, the inner and outer 

 marginal areas broadly fawn-coloured, greyish posteriorly, a somewhat large plumbageous ocellated 

 discal spot, margined with black outwardly, and with a small central talc-like sjiot. Wings beneath 

 pale greyish inclining to pale fawn-colour on the outer areas, both wings crossed near end of cells by a 

 waved fuscous linear fascia ; anterior wings with indications of a second discal fascia, margins of talc-hke 

 spot at end of cell and a subapical costal patch, fuscous. 



Female. Only differing from male on the under surface of the posterior wings, where the talc-like 

 spot is visible and surrounded with fuscous, and by the presence of a distinct fuscous spot near base of cell. 



Exp. wings, <y , 100 millim., ? , 87 millim. 



Hab. — Transvaal ; Shilouvane (Junod ; Pret. Mus. and Coll. Dist.). 



Fam. SPHINGID^ (ante, p. 64).

" Fore wings pale grey, with a triangular dark olive patch near 

 the centre of the wings, and running from the costa almost the entire 

 width of the wing ; in the centre of this patch is a white dot. There 

 are two indistinct zigzag lines of deep brown crossing the fore wings 

 transversely near the base, and three ohlong olive patches, more 

 or less defined along the inner margin. Hind wings base brilliant 

 yellow, remainder cinnabar-red, with a large grey patch at the anal 

 angle crossed by three black bars. Under side : fore wings grey, 

 basal half orange, and a large black blotch in cell, with a white spot 

 in centre. Hind wings grey, with white dot in centre. Head grey, 

 thorax greyish olive, with pale grey centre. Abdomen grey, with three 

 Fio. 11.— Lophuron magnificum. dorsal longitudinal rows of indistinct olivaceous dots" (Rothsch.).

 orange blossom.*
