166 Rhodesian Moths 
Fore-wing. Shaped rather like that of male delegorguer, but outer 
half of costa more strongly arched, and hind-margin very deeply 
concave between nervules 7 and 3. Costa and apex rather densely 
covered with white scales; basal three-fourths of cell pale tawny- 
ochreous or light grey ;_ basal area helow cell tawny-orange. A broad 
transverse deep orange-red band (about half as wide as the dark band 
in delegorgueit male) edged inwardly and outwardly by a dark linear 
band, the outer of which is crimson and dotted with white scales. 
Beyond this band the wing is light tawny-orange between nervules 
7 and 3; much paler from 8 to inner-margin MHyaline mark like 
that of delegorguei, but twice as broad, the upper half deeply bisinuate 
outwardly and the whole narrowly bounded by dark crimson. 
Hind-wing. Pink, with the inner-margin and lower half of outer- 
margin broadly pinkish-orange or light orange-ochreous. ‘Two narrow 
sinuous dark grey transverse bands, very faint or obsolete between 
costa and nervule 3. Between these bands, on an orange-yellow 
ground is a small discal, very curiously-shaped, black mark, strongly 
suggestive of a black cat in a sitting posture. 
Under-side. Forewing. Costa, to inner edge of hyaline mark and 
upper part of cell light mouse-grey sparsely covered with white scales. 
Lower part of cell, basal and lower median areas, bright pink. Just 
beyond hyaline mark a sub-quadrate orange-red patch between costa 
and nervule 6. Apex covered with orange, white and greyish-green 
scales ; hind-margin broadly orange-red to nervule 3, narrowly thence 
to posterior angle. 
Hind-wing. Orange-pink or pale tawny-orange. Costa and _hind- 
margin narrowly light mouse-grey. Discal mark grey and rather faint. 
2. Fore-wing shaped like that of female delegorquei, but apex 
more acuminate and hind-margin more concave between nervules 7 
and 5. Pattern asin female delegorguei. Costa, from base to inner 
edge of median band, and cell covered with white scales. Base deep 
tawny-orange. Median transverse band twice as broad as in male, 
outwardly deep orange-red near costa, below hyaline spot dark tawny- 
orange. Sub-marginal area pale orange. Hyaline spot larger and 
broader than in male. 
Very rarely the whole wing is coloured exactly as in delegorguet, 
except for a small costal dark red patch above the hyaline spot. 
Hind-wing. Shaped as in female delegorgwer. Colour similar to 
that of male; the black discal mark is much broader and looks just 
like a cat standing, and there is a small hyaline spot on its lower
