NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 281 



Cape Colony : Grahamstown (from the Albiuy Museum), type in coll. Brit. Mus. 



A ? from the same source and one from Namaqualand (Cochrane, ex coll. 

 Distant), both in the same collection, are still larger (54 mm.), antenna simple, 

 forewing with apex produced, some blackish clouding indicating the position of the 

 antemedian line and again distally to the postmedian at apex and posterior half; 

 hindwing with blackish clouding distally to the posterior half of postmedian line. 



20. Eupagia curvifascia spec, no v. 



S, 32 mm. Build less robust than in the type species (determinata Walk.), 

 pectus and femora less densely hairy, antennal pectinations less long. Head and 

 body concolorous with wings, palpus brighter ochreous, with a slight reddish 

 admixture on outer side. 



Forewing with termen almost smooth, slightly sinuous, rather strongly curved 

 and oblique posteriorly ; ochreous, with very sparse blackish irroration ; costal 

 margin at base more reddish ; lines almost black, with a slight reddish admixture ; 

 autemedian rather thick from cell-fold to hindmargin, obsolete anteriorly, curving 

 outward a little from SM 2 to hindmargin ; postmedian from four-fifths costa, 

 parallel with termen to R 1 or R 2 , then forming a gentle inward curve ; accompanied 

 proximally throughout its length, except at costal extremity, by a bar of the same 

 colour, about 1 mm. in width ; cell-dot almost obsolete ; a blackish dot at apex, 



terminal line otherwise almost obsolete ; fringe somewhat chequered with grey. 



Hindwing with termen almost smooth, slightly waved in its anterior half; very 

 slightly paler than forewing ; markings obsolete, except the postmedian line, which 

 is present from R 1 to hindmargin, slender anteriorly, slightly less so posteriorly, 

 but nowhere accompanied by a dark bar. 



Underside similarly but less sharply marked. 



Cape Colony : Grahamstown. Type in coll. Brit. Mus., received from the 

 Albany Museum. 



21. Biclavigera deterior spec, no v. 



cJ, 29-32 mm. Closely akin to praecanaria H.-Sch. (= rufivena Warr., 

 Ann. S. Afr. Mus. x. 24, nov. syn.), from which I have not yet been able to dis- 

 cover any constant structural difference, unless the apical claws of the foretibia are 

 somewhat slighter ; in the type specimen of the new species vein SC 1-2 of the fore- 

 wing is connected at a point with the stalk of SC 3-5 , but in the other example it 

 remains free, as in all the praecanaria I have examined. 



Forewing nearly uniform reddish brown or purplish brown, the pale parts 

 almost entirely obliterated, the dark fuscous irroration slight and inconspicuous ; 

 the veins, which in praecanaria are bright reddish ochreous, are here whitish 

 ochreous, dark-dotted ; costal edge irrorated, as in praecanaria ; first line nearly as 

 in that species ; postmedian much straighter, not lunulate, nearly parallel with 

 termen throughout (in praecanaria markedly oblique inward in posterior part), 

 marked with fuscous dashes on the veins, not accompanied distally by any pale 

 shade ; subterminal line rather better developed than in praecanaria ; fringe less 

 sharply chequered. Hindwing showing the same colour-differences as forewing. 



Both wings beneath still more uniform, almost markingless except for the 

 dotted costal edge of forewing. 



Foot of Nieuwveld Mountains, 5 miles N. W. of Beaufort West (Mrs. Butt). 

 Type in coll. Brit. Mus. I have seen a second male, without locality label.
