margined basal] y with black, and angled outwardly above vein 1, 

 from subcostal nervure to inner margin. A round hyaline spot 

 on discocellulars surrounded by an ocellus which is brown with a 

 black and then a white ring round it. This ocellus is large, being 

 of equal size to that on the hind wing. A submarginal white 

 line defined outwardly by a black line from the ccsta before apex 

 (where it curves outwardly towards the outer margin) to the 

 inner margin. 



Hind wing pink with an indistinct V-shaped whitish mark on 

 the inner margin. A somewhat similar ocellus to that on the 

 fore wing on the discocellulars, but the hyaline spot is smaller, 

 and it has in addition a crimson ring between the black one and 

 the outer white one. A submarginal white line defined outwardly 

 by a black line as in the fore wing. The marginal area beyond 

 this line is concolorous with the fore wing. Underside marked 

 similarly, but pink. Antennas highly pectinated and ferruginous. 



Habitat. Masongaleni, 30th November. Expanse 116 mm. 



This form is nearest to Ntidaurelia macrophthalma Kirby, but 

 differs in having a full-sized ocellus on the fore wing, and a 

 prominent white V-shaped antemedial line which is obsolete in 

 macrophthalma, the latter is recorded from Chari and Lake Tchad 

 in West Africa. Owing to this peculiar character I have named 

 this form " vau."

Mr. Feather writes of this very rare form, of which I under- 

 stand only four specimens are known to have been taken, as 

 follows : — " I took besanti on one of those abnormal nights when 

 insects were flying about in millions. It had started raining 

 about 2.30 in the afternoon, quite a gentle rain, which continued
