[Cyligramma amblyops Mab. This species and most of its 

 allies are usually to be found only in deep shade in patches of 

 dense forest. They have a clumsy flight and always settle on the 

 ground. The abundant and ubiquitous C. latona Oram, is not 

 thus limited to forest, but occurs everywhere and frequently 

 comes to light. — S. A. N.]

[Spirama capemsis H.-Schaff. This species has a very curious 

 habit of settling upon leaves, generally not far from the ground. 

 Attached by the fore legs, it hangs loosely from a leaf with 

 expanded wings, the secondaries covering and concealing the 

 abdomen. In this position the insect looks exactly like a dead 

 leaf attached by a cobweb or by damp to a living one. The dark 

 line across both wings represents the midrib of the leaf, and the 

 resemblance is enhanced by the insect resting with the long axis 

 from tip to tip of the wings nearly vertical. — S. A. N.l
