three traversing lines very faintly suggested, tips whiter. Hind wing with 
costal margin rather long, apex and anterior part of termen well rounded, 
posterior part straightish; whitish, tinged with buff, towards termen slightly 
more buff; median and postmedian lines and subterminal shade present at 
abdominal margin, fading out anteriorly; terminal line obsolete at apex, 
otherwise consisting of grey interneural dashes. 
Both wings beneath nearly as fore wing above; cell-dots present (on hind 
wing weak) ; median and postmedian lines complete, on fore wing bent about 
SC®, on hind wing (the median strongly) about R^. 
Rhodesia: Sawmills, 5 February 1918 (A. J. T. Janse). Type in coll. Janse. 
Evidently related to phyletis Prout [Ann. Transv. Mus. iii. 197), perhaps 
a form of it. Rather larger, possibly longer- winged, less pale (especially on 
underside), but with head, face and front of thorax whiter; cell-dot minuter. 
15. Scapula impicta sp. nov. (PI. I, fig. 9). 
c7, $, 20-22 mm. Face brown, with variable blackish admixture. Palpus 
white beneath. Antenna in A with rather long ciliation. Vertex white. Collar 
light brown, tending towards ochreous. Thorax and abdomen mostly white. 
Legs tinged with brown; hind tibia in A with well-developed pair of terminal 
spurs, tarsus rather long. 
Wings shaped as in picta Warr. and fulvilinea Warr. Fore wing white, 
with a faint tinge of brownish and with very sparse and very minute dark 
irroration (observable only with the lens) ; lines fine, light-brown, usually more 
or less weak, approximately parallel with termen, antemedian and median 
usually obsolescent anteriorly, the latter crossing, or placed just beyond, the 
sharp black cell-dot, sometimes a little thickened, costally (when developed) 
slightly curved baseward; postmedian slightly greyer, minutely denticulate 
outward on the veins, somewhat incurved about the fold, placed rather near 
the proximal subterminal, often rather noticeably thickened at costa, where 
it tends to bend slightly proximal; subterminal white line slightly lunulate, 
placed between lig’ht-brown shades, of which the proximal is well developed 
and usually rather broad; termen with distinct, slightly elongate black dots 
or marks between the veins; fringe proximally tinged with brown, distally 
paler, some dark irroration on the middle making a suggestion of a dividing 
line. Hind wing slightly cleaner whitish, on an average more weakly marked, 
first line wanting, median just proximal to the sharp black cell-dot; termen 
and fringe as on fore wing. 
Underside with similar or weaker markings distally to the black cell-dot; 
fore wing proximally in costal region and cell with some slight or moderate 
smoky suffusion. 
Pretoria, 25-27 November, 1911, two AA, 17 October 1911, ? (Capt. Paget). 
Type A in coll. Transvaal Museum. 
Several specimens of this species have passed through my hands of recent 
years and a few are in coll. British Museum. The late Mr Warren proposed, 
shortly before his death, to publish it under the name of impicta in contra- 
distinction to the similar but more brightly marked picta Warr. (cp. Janse, 
Check-List, p. 96, No. 1515). 
16. Ptychopoda laticlavia sp. nov. 
c?, 18 mm. Head dull purple (crimson mixed with black). Palpus very 
short, more strongly mixed with black. Tongue vestigial. Antenna pale straw- 
colour, with one or two crimson dots at base; joints slightly projecting, ciliation 
long (nearly 2). Thorax glossy light straw-yellowish, anteriorly crimson;
