lilac. Hind-wing deep orange-red, with the post-median and broad 
juxta-marginal band light slate-grey. 
Under-side. Both wings light grey with a pinkish flush. Inner- 
margin of fore-wing bright pink. A well-defined median sinuous dark 
brown fascia in both wings, not visible on upper-side. 
Wing expanse 134 mm. 
The adult larva is very like that of macrothyris, but smaller and of 
yellow-green colour. The small dark green spots cover the entire 
body except on the ventral surface ; the stigmata are crimson and the 
segments distinctly angulated, like those of natalensis. Food-plant, 
Brachystegia, sp. 
The caterpillar went to earth on 24th February, 1917, but the moth 
(Ex. 1) did not emerge till 3rd March in the following year. 
NUDAURELIA CARNEGIEI, Janse. 
In describing this very large and brightly coloured Nwdawrelia last 
year, Mr. Janse stated that, as far as he was aware, it had been found 
in S. Rhodesia only at Umvuma and Selukwe. He had quite 
forgotten a female, bred by me at Salisbury, that he had seen in my 
collection a few months before. A fine example of the male (hitherto 
unknown) emerged in one of my breeding boxes on 18th February last 
year. In colour and markings it is almost identical with the female ; 
but the shape of the fore-wing is quite different, the costa being more 
strongly arched, the apex much more rounded and the hind-margin 
rather deeply concave between nervules 7 and 3. The hind-wing is 
considerably broader than that of the female, with the outer-margin 
less rounded and more strongly lobed at 1b. 
Wing expanse 165 mm 
Larva. Final instar. Black, with inter-segmental dark brick-red 
rings. In the middle of each segment there is a narrow and deep 
transverse groove, interrupted in the centre on the last five abdominal 
segments. Segments closely mottled with minute white spots, except 
in the middle of the dorsal area, where they are very sparse or 
wanting. Each segment bears six small black setigerous tubercles, 
the setze long and white. Stigmata salmon-coloured ; ventral surface 
black. My caterpillars were found on the ‘“‘ munondo ” tree (Brachy- 
stegia sp.) on 13th May, 1917, and went to earth the following day. 
The female moth emerged on 14th December, and the male two months 
later. The moth is evidently a rare one in this district, for the 
caterpillar was quite unknown to several natives to whom I showed it,
