Annals of the Transvaal Museum

Hab. Capetown, May 1912. Two specimens, one in Transvaal Museum 
and one in my own collection. Both specimens were collected amongst many 
other moths by Lord Gladstone, who kindly presented these to the Transvaal 
Museum. 
The type specimen shows a peculiar abnormality in the left fore wing, where 
vein 6 sends a long branch or bar to the free part of vein 7 so as to connect 
these two veins and form a big areole between vein 6 and stalk of 7, 8 ; the other 
wing is normal, however.

Type lignosa Wlk. Description made of marpissa. 
cJ, $. Proboscis rather short; palpi short, hardly reaching frons, porrect; 
first joint slightly longer than second joint; third joint almost globular and 
with a dent on upper tip; first and second joints with long hairs in front; eyes 
elliptical, longer than palpi, naked ; antennae about half of costa, bipectinated, 
shaft gradually becoming dentate towards tip; branches about three times 
shaft, ciliated anteriorly and at ends; a short hair- tuft on first joint of shaft; 
fore tibia with long hair and a flat process, slightly longer than tibia in both 
sexes; the process is flat, somewhat curved and slightly overlapping the tibia 
on the inner side (though hollow, it does not appear to be keel-shaped as in 
Antheua ); mid leg with two, hind leg with four moderate spurs, the points of 
which are curved inwards and each has two ridges with a slight depression 
between them; mid and hind femurs moderately covered with long hairs, tibiae 
with still less hairs ; tarsi of all legs with spines on inner side and further covered 
with hairs. Fore wing broad, sub-triangular; costa nearly straight; outer 
margin somewhat oblique, well rounded and sinuate; apex, tornus and inner 
margin well rounded ; 1 a faint, as a branch of fork of 1 b\ lower median curved 
upwards; 2 from frd lower median; 3 from frd 2 to 4; 4 from lower angle; 
5 from middle of discocellulars, rather weak; discocellulars erect, somewhat 
rounded; 6 from upper angle or from well beyond it and then from areole 
(in some specimens of Z. anodonta 6 comes from middle, fth, or even end of 
areole) ; areole rather long, nearly as long as half of 10; 7 from, from just before, 
or from slightly beyond end of areole ; 8 and 9 on a stalk of half free part of 8 
and from end of areole; 10 from before or from end of areole; 11 from upper 
median at frd; 12 parallel to costa. Hind wing semicircular; costa well arched; 
termen very oblique and well rounded, somewhat sinuate; apex rounded; 
tornus much rounded; outer margin rounded; 1 a and 1 b nearly straight; 
2 from frd lower median ; 3 from frd 2 to 4 ; 4 from lower angle ; 5 rather weak 
and from middle of discocellulars which are erect and somewhat curved ; 6 and 
7 on a stalk of fth of 7 ; 8 parallel to upper median for nearly whole length and 
with an indication of a bar at frd (in anodonta no bar is visible) . The meso- 
thorax has an indication of a small crest and the abdomen is marked as a 
typical Antheua, in fact it is rather difficult to separate this genus from 
Antheua ; in Zana too the venation of veins 6 to 10 is very variable. In Zana 
the outer margins are certainly more crenulate, but in Antheua they are not 
quite entire as stated by some writers; the palpi are shorter and distinctly 
porrect; the spurs have two ridges of teeth on the tip, while in Antheua no 
teeth can be seen in any of its species I placed there; the palpi have the first
