SATYEIN^. 73 



unspotted fuscous margin, and the under side a slightly striolated one, with 

 spots resembling those of Panda. 



Only on one occasion have I seen this species in life, viz., on the 12th March 

 1867, when it was by no means uncommon in the "Thorns" country near 

 Greytown, in Natal. About the steep exposed hillsides specimens of both 

 sexes flitted constantly, but with no activity, keeping close to the ground, and 

 frequently settling on it. The elaborately-ornamented under side of the wings 

 was not conspicuous at a little distance.

Imago. — Head small, very hairy ; eyes smooth ; palpi long, slightly 

 ascendant, covered with hair throughout, but especially beneath, where 

 the hairs are densely set, long, and bristly, — the terminal joint rather 

 long, slender, acute ; antennoi short, with the club usually rather 

 elongate and gradually thickened, but in some species (P. Sahacus, 

 Sijypia, vigilans, &c.) more abruptly formed. 



Tliorax short and narrow, more or less hairy above, densely hairy 

 beneath. Fore-wings with costa moderately or slightly arched ; hind- 

 margin entire, nearly straight ; costal nervure only swollen at base ; 

 discoidal cell short, broad, the nervules closing it forming a more or less 

 obtuse angle towards base at junction of lower discoidal (radial) nervule ; 

 first branch of subcostal nervure arising just before or at extremity of 

 discoidal cell, second branch a long way beyond it. Hind-tvings with 

 hind-margin entire or very slightly sinuated ; anal angle somewhat 

 prominent ; discoidal cell short superiorly but prolonged inferiorly, 

 the closing nervules running very obliquely, and the lower one being 

 twice as long as the upper. Fore-legs of S minute, scaly ; tibia and 

 tarsus together but little longer than femur ; a scanty clothing of 

 rather short bristly hairs on femur; tibia and tarsus densely clothed 

 with very long stiff hairs ; of 5 rather long, slender, scaly ; femur and
