BuN#A ANGASANA, Westw. 
This fine moth has been bred at Salisbury in some numbers from 
larvee found feeding on Uapaca kirkiana, a tree that grows on stony 
hillsides all over Mashonaland and is known to the natives as the 
“mahobahoba.” The males vary much in colour, some being light 
pearly-grey, while others are very much darker, with a fuscous, slightly 
ante-median, transverse band in the fore-wing, reaching from the costa 
to near the inner-margin. Specimens that have emerged in my boxes 
vary in wing expanse from 156 mm. to 170 mm. 
BuN#@A sp. nov. ! 
Of this large and very beautiful Bwnea nearly a dozen specimens 
have been bred by my friend, Mr. A. W. Redfern, to whom I am 
indebted for three fine examples. Mr. Redfern, informs me that he 
looked in vain for the moth in the collection of the British Museum, 
so it is probably an undescribed species. I have seen three examples 
in the Bulawayo Museum, two of which were captured at Que Que, 
twenty miles north of Gwelo, some years ago; the third has no 
locality label. 
The adult larva is very like that of Lobobunea macrothyris, but 
differs from it in several points. The colour is yellowish-green ; the 
dark green minute spots are much more sparse on the dorsal surface, 
but dense below the lateral band. Cephalic plate yellowish-brown ; 
dorsal, strongly impressed band light grey ; stigmata salmon-coloured. 
Abdominal feet without sete inferiorly, except for a very narrow 
brush in the middle. Anal plate triangularly bright yellow ; lateral 
inferior band flavous ; head light green. 
A brief description may help collectors to recognise the moth, 
should they be fortunate enough to come across it. 
¢. Head, under-side of prothorax, antennz and legs mouse- 
brown. Meso- and meta-thorax white beneath; pronotum mouse-grey 
with anterior margin white. Abdomen light mouse-grey above, 
whitish beneath. 
Fore-wing. Costa nearly straight to beyond ocellus, then sharply 
curved. Apex very acuminate; outer-margin deeply concave between 
nervules 7 and 4, thence slightly sinuous to hind angle. Colour of 
wing light mouse-brown, darker in median and post-median areas 
between nervules 6 and 2. A somewhat diffuse broad ante-median
