and Ic; a terminal line as in fore- wing; cilia as in fore-wing, but 

 without the black scales opposite la, b, and c. 



Underside : — fore- wing irrorated with vinaceous-buff and fuscous, 

 least dense at inner- marginal area; a densely irrorated black spot 

 at end of cell ; the combined upper part of postmedial and sub- 

 terminal lines well marked by a dense fuscous irroration ; terminal 

 line almost as clear as on upperside; hind- wing with costal and 

 terminal area as far as \c irrorated with vinaceous-buff; post- 

 medial line indicated by a fuscous- black irroration from costa to 16 

 and before it some thin fuscous irroration; terminal line more 

 diffused than in fore- wing. 



Female like male, but hind- wing more densely irrorated with 

 fuscous all over ; cilia of antennae very short and no basal process. 



Exp. Male and female types 25 mm. ; two of the male co-tyj^es 

 22-5 mm. 



Hah. Male type, Hope Fountain (near Biilawayo), 

 16.1.1918; female type, Hope Fountain, 17. i. 1918; 

 male co-type, Sawmills (S. Rhodesia), 5. ii. 1918; Hope 

 Fountain,' 16. i. 1918; Emangeni (S. Rhodesia), 18. i. 1918; 

 one male co-type in Transvaal Museum collection from 

 Waterberg distr. 1899. 



This species is near to M. melanosjparsalis Hmpsn. 



Macalla cupreotincta, sp. n. 



Male. Head, palpi, antennal process and thorax above densely 

 irrorated with black and deep olive; fore- and mid-legs deep olive, 

 irrorated with fuscous; hind-legs and rings of all tarsi cream- 

 colour, irrorated with fuscous; abdomen above as in M. confusa, 

 but the last three segments less densely irrorated. Fore- wing with 

 basal 23atch as in M. confusa, but irrorated with black and bluish slate- 

 black (xlviii) scales, except along costa ; irroration between medial 

 and postmedial lines more dense and mixed with ferruginous irrora- 

 tion ; postmedial line more diffused and more dentate, but otherwise 

 as in M. confusa; apical and terminal area as in M. confusa, but 

 irroration more dense; cilia more uniform fuscous-black. Hind- 

 wing irrorated, except at basal-costal area, with ferruginous scaling, 

 which is very dense and uniform at apical- terminal areas as far as 

 Ic; a small postmedial fuscous- black macula near vein 2 and 

 terminal lunula opposite more broad; terminal line much more 

 narrow than in M. confusa; cilia ferruginous with fuscous- black 

 marks as in M. confusa. 



Female. ' Fore- wing with the markmgs more sharply defined and 

 darker ; postmedial line well defined ; cilia almost entirely fuscous-
