distinct at discocellulars, dentate outwardly at vein 2, plical fold and 1 b; 
postmedial only indicated by a somewhat darker shading; a broad curved 
fascia from before tornus to termen at vein 4, broad at inner margin, pointed 
towards termen, somewhat irregular at the veins; some fuscous-black oblique 
short strigae between 4 and 5, 5 and 6, 6 and 7; terminus of veins 5, 6, 7, 8 
with some black scaling ; a faint dark sub-terminal line as far as vein 4 ; a more 
distinct terminal line; cilia of ground colour; except at terminus of veins, 
where there are some black scales. Hind wing shiny white; some dark irrora- 
tion at costa; a quadrate black patch at tornus between 1 b and near 2; some 
black scaling above it; cilia white, except for some black scales at the veins 
and beyond patch on tornus. Under side: thorax and hairs on legs buff-pink 
(xxviii) ; wings and abdomen shiny whitish ; fore wing at costal, terminal and 
inner marginal regions irrorated with fuscous; four white specks at costa near 
apex; cilia fuscous, with a light basal line, which is interrupted with black 
at the veins; hind wing with some fuscous antemedial, medial, and postmedial 
irroration from costa to upper median; cilia as on upper side. 
Fore wing with space between sub-basal and antemedial lines very 
thickly irrorated with fuscous and black; postmedial lines indicated by a 
double light shading from before black fascia at inner margin to costa; some 
whitish oblique fascia before and beyond black fascia between veins 5—6, 6-7, 
7-8; in cotype a whitish line beyond the black from before tornus to vein 4 
and in that specimen the abdomen is pinkish-buff (xxix) ; hind wing with 
irroration broader than in <$; a narrow irroration along outer margin; cilia 
fuscous at base, whitish at tips except at veins and patch on tornus; patch 
on tornus with a more distinct white line between upper and lower part and 
well extended beyond 1 b to inner margin. Under side with the irroration more 
dense. 
Exp. $ type, 52 mm.; cotype, 48 mm.; $ type, 63 mm.; cotype, 56 mm. 
Hab. $ type, Salisbury, 13. 3. ’17 (bred by Father O’Neil) ; $ type, Salisbury, 
16. 3. ’17 (also bred by Father O’Neil); larva feeds on a native bush called 
“Mutowe”; g cotype, Krantzkloof, 31. 3. ’18 (bred by E. E. Platt), all in collec- 
tion Janse; $ cotype from Barberton, 14. 1. ’09 (G. W. Jeffery), in collection 
Transvaal Museum. This species is readily identified by the fascia from near 
tornus to vein 4, the colour of the shaft of the antennae and the light coloured 
abdomen. 
There is a possibility, that this species and A . postica will prove to be the 
same, but judging from the description it is not so. Sir George Hampson 
informs me, that A . postica is the common Transvaal and Natal species with 
the black patch at anal angle of hind wing. This, however, gives no clue, as all 
South African species known to me have such a patch, but it is strange that I 
have not met with this species yet.

just reaching frons, densely covered with hair-like scales; first joint with 
rather long tuft in front; second joint longer than first, sub-cylindrical; third
