small black setigerous spine ; abdominal segments with six small black 
setigerous spines. Stigmata purplish-red with an outer ring of white. 
Fifth instar. Head and body emerald green. On vertex of head a 
narrow silvery-white transverse carina. Post-cephalic and anal plates 
bright purple-red. | Two posterior thoracic and all abdominal segments 
armed with eight long simple (non-setigerous) black spines which 
become shorter as the caterpillar fills out. On each side of claspers a 
triangular purple-red patch. Stigmata as in fourth instar. 
As with most Saturniide, the males of this moth can be obtained 
by sembling with unfertilised females. One evening a female emerged 
in one of my breeding boxes and two hours later a dozen males flew 
into the room in quick succession. 
CINABRA PYGMMHA, Maas. & Weym. 
This is a rare moth at Salisbury, and I have seen only one example 
captured in this neighbourhood. The colour of the wings is very 
different from that of the specimen figured by Distant in his ‘“ Insecta 
Transvaaliensia.” The fore-wing is deep carmine-red turning to lilac- 
pink near the outer-margin, and the hind-wing is deep orange-red with 
a broad pink outer border. The moth is not uncommon at the 
Victoria Falls. 
EPIPHORA VERA, Janse. 
Of this very beautiful moth I have bred three examples from 
cocoons found at Salisbury by Mr. A. W. Redfern. A male that 
emerged 22nd November and a female that came out on lst December 
last summer are considerably larger than the types, the former having 
a wing expanse of 132 mm., and the latter of 138 mm. There is a 
specimen of this moth in the Bulawayo Museum, captured some years 
ago at the cement works, nine miles from Bulawayo on the Salisbury 
line, and Mr. Redfern informs me that he lately saw three examples 
in the British Museum. He has found one adult larva, which he 
describes as being light green with red spines. 
Lupia sp. nov.? 
¢d. Head and antenne orange-ochreous. Sternum and pronotum 
bright orange-red, the anterior margin of the latter mouse-grey with 
some white scales. Abdomen tawny-orange or pale pink, usually with 
a narrow light-grey band on apical portion of each segment, Eye 
and legs light mouse-grey.
