158 Rhodesian Moths 
light band of both wings, an exact representation of the red variety 
of natalensis found at Salisbury. 
LopoBuN2aA sp. nov.? 
Of this species, which differs in many respects from natalensis and 
macrothyris, | have bred one male and captured a second at Salisbury. 
The two specimens differ much in colour, and as the moth is probably 
a new species I shall give a short description of each. 
Example 1. 
Head, legs and under-side of thorax dark mouse-grey ; pronotum 
orange-ochreous with the anterior margin light grey. Abdomen dull 
orange-ochreous above, lilac grey on under-side. 
Fore-wing. Costa, basal two-thirds straight, thence strongly curved 
to apex which is rather acuminate. Hind-margin moderately concave 
between nervules 7 and 4, hind angle rounded. Orange-ochreous, 
turning to bright lilac near the outer-margin ; base with a lilac tinge. 
A post-median violaceous sinuous band angled at nervule 7, and a very 
small subquadrate hyaline spot on the discocellulars. 
Hind-wing dull orange. Base, to about middle of cell, densely 
covered with long lilac-pink hairs ; inner-margin with similar hairs of 
mouse-brown colour. Hind-margin with a linear olive-brown band and 
a rather broad bright lilac inner-band. Separated from this by a band 
of the ground-colour is.a narrow slate-grey fascia, parallel to the hind- 
margin as far as nervule 5, then bent upwards towards the costa. 
Ocellus round, rather large, consisting of a greyish-black round spot 
in the centre of which is a very small hyaline space, and an outer 
broad black ring. 
Under-side. Fore-wing dull pinkish-lilac, with the basal three- 
fourths of areas 2, le, 1b, and la, pale salmon-pink ; a sub-apical 
ill-defined fuscous patch between costa and nervule 7, and a black 
sub-quadrate mark enclosing the hyaline spot. 
Hind-wing entirely lilac-pink, with a faint indication of the post- 
median slate-grey band. 
Wing expanse 126 mm. 
Example 2. 
Differs from the preceding in the following respects: pronotum and 
abdomen bright brick-red ; fore-wing bright brick-red, turning to light 
grey near the hind-margin. Post-median transverse band greyish-
