Zululand: Nkwaleni, 12 January 1916 (A. J, T. Janse). Type in coll. Janse. 
A pair from Magude, Portuguese East Africa, November 1918 (C. J. 
Swierstra), subsequently submitted to me by the Transvaal Museum, should 
be mentioned here. The $ quite agrees with the type. The cJ agrees structurally, 
but looks very different, being brownish drab, with very fine pale edgings to 
the slightly darker central area; antennal joints few and long, pectinations 
four or five times as long as diameter of shaft ; hind tibia slender. 
Sub-family Sterrhinae 
II. Somatina sedata sp. nov. 
33 mm. Face narrowly black above, white spotted with reddish below. 
Palpus reddish on outer side, white beneath. Vertex blackish red. Thorax 
and abdomen white. Fore leg marked with reddish, except on tarsus. 
Fore wing with areole double, SC^ from cell; shining white, with scattered 
black-grey irroration (scarcely noticeable without lens); distal end of costa 
with a very fine red line, which thickens at apex into a dash in front of SC^; 
lines light grey; antemedian slender and weak, scarcely traceable anteriorly 
to cell-fold, here within 2 mm. of the discal dot, slightly excurved, about sub- 
median fold very slightly inbent; discal dot minute but sharp, black; median 
line slightly stronger than antemedian, arising about SC^ at 4 mm. from 
termen, slightly more oblique than termen and almost inappreciably incurved 
in its posterior part; postmedian again shghtly stronger, a little more wavy, 
parallel with termen, arising at SC^ 2-5 mm. from termen; two very fine sub- 
terminal lines, the outer slightly the stronger, appreciably dentate outward 
between the veins; terminal line slight, but with minute (anteriorly larger) 
black dots at the vein-ends; fringe white, traversed by a little dusting which 
suggests a fragmentary line. Hind wing similar, without first line and cell-dot; 
median line from mid costa to beyond middle of abdominal margin, crossing 
hind angle of cell. 
Underside white, unmarked, the red line at end of costa reproduced; 
terminal dots present, but weaker than above (brownish). 
Natal: Umkomaas (A. J. T. Janse), 26 December 1915, type in coll. Janse, 
24 December 1914, paratype in coll. L. B. Prout. 
12. Discomiosis arciocentra sp. nov. 
d, 22 mm. Face and palpus black. Vertex and antennal shaft very pale 
brown. Antennal pectinations quite rudimentary, fascicles of cilia strong. 
Collar more ochreous brown. Thorax and abdomen pale brown, with a little 
dark irroration; the abdomen also with dark dorsal belts; the first three and 
the last strong, blackish, the others more feeble. Hind tibia moderately dilated, 
with one proximal and two terminal spurs. 
Fore wing pale brown, with warmer brown irroration and scattered blackish 
scales; costal edge darkened proximally; ist fine blackish, thickest anteriorly, 
rather strongly oblique outward from one-third costa, then oblique inward 
and very slightly sinuous; median shade ill-defined, thick costally, then very 
oblique outward, acutely angled behind SC^, then oblique inward, with a deep 
inward bend between and SM^, thus nearly approaching the antemedian; 
postmedian blackish, thickest at costal end, from E} onward accentuated by 
black dots on the veins, rather oblique inward from three-fourths costa to 
SC^, very oblique outward to R^, slightly incurved between the radials and 
in submedian area; a strong black cell-dot; some weak dark dusting in terminal 
area between the veins; termen with conspicuous black interneural dots;
