oblique streak between M'^ and tornus, otherwise very slight; a dark mark 
on middle of terminal line as on fore wing; fringe not appreciably spotted. 
Underside similar, but with the fore wing more suffused with brownish 
along costal margin, subapical suffusions more extended, subbasal line wanting, 
antemedian weakened, subterminal shading wanting in posterior half, hind 
wing with a slight antemedian line from costal margin to SC. 
Nkwaleni, 10 January 1916. Type in coll. Janse. 
Rather suggestive of a Biston. • 
41. Clear a haploocnema sp. nov. 
40 mm. Face light brown, more whitish below and with a blackish band 
across the middle. Palpus moderate or rather short; light brown, mixed with 
blackish. Head and body very pale brown, the legs more or less dotted with 
blackish, fore coxa largely blackish above. Hind tibia not dilated. 
Fore wing with termen feebly subcrenulate ; SC^ and SC^ free, from very 
slightly before middle of DC; very pale brown, with some warmer brown and 
sparser blackish irroration ; lines brown, mixed with blackish fuscous ; ante- 
median from three-tenths costa, forming two angles (the first inward, the 
second outward), then running almost straight from SC to hind margin, 
duplicated by a brown line or shade proximally from the first angle to hind 
margin ; median shade only developed anteriorly (proximal to middle of costa) , 
here formed like antemedian ; postmedian from seven-tenths costa, the anterior 
bends weaker and more gradual, the second being about R^, whence the line 
runs rather more obliquely than termen, and very slightly incurved, to about 
three-fifths hind margin; a feeble, interrupted line or shade just distally to the 
postmedian, forming more noticeable dark spots in the cellules before and 
behind a pale lunulate-dentate subterminal line, scarcely indicated except 
by some irregular dark spots which fill in the lunules proximally, those between 
the radials strongest and blackest, somewhat elongate; termen with inter- 
neural black dots. Hind wing with termen crenulate; costal edge pale and 
unmarked as far as the postmedian line ; both lines well developed posteriorly, 
the antemedian reaching abdominal margin at one-fourth, the postmedian 
beyond middle; the latter followed by a brown shade distally; a moderate dark 
cell-dot; subterminal line and shading nearly as on fore wing, the single spot 
between R} and R^ less blackened ; terminal dots as on fore wing. 
Fore wing beneath slightly paler, with irregular and weak dark maculation 
and irroration and with traces of the markings of the upperside, the subterminal 
shading more continuous and band-like, especially in anterior part ; a moderate 
cell-dot. Hind wing paler, the cell-mark rather large and somevs^hat crescentic, 
postmedian line fairly well developed in its posterior half. 
Nkhandla Forest, 21 January 1916. Type in coll. Janse. 
42. Boarmia hreijeri sp. nov. (PI. I, fig. 14). 
53 mm. Face scarcely prominent, moderately rough-scaled; dark brown, 
mixed with black. Palpus rather short, scales of 2nd joint mixed with hair; 
brown, blackened on outer side. Tongue short. Antennal pectinations very 
long. Pectus, femora and base of abdomen beneath rather strongly hairy. 
Hind tibia not dilated. Head and body predominantly light brown-grey, the 
vertex paler, the cheeks, front of thorax beneath and upper and inner sides 
of fore and mid legs infuscated; some dark admixture on dorsal surface of 
abdomen, strongest on the 2nd and 3rd tergites. 
Fore wing with termen subcrenulate; no fovea; stalked, separating 
a little after (type) or a little before the branching of SC® from SC^; light
