appearing irrorated grey and whitish), slightly — in distal area strongly — 
shaded or suffused with ochreous brown; costal area somewhat lighter, but 
marked with a number of small black dashes ; lines brown, mixed with black, 
arising from large, outwardly oblique spots, which are comma-shaped, or the 
first two rather more triangular; these three spots equidistant, rather nearer 
to one another than to base and apex, the lines nearly parallel with termen, 
but slightly sinuous, the postmedian much less black-mixed than the other 
two; a small cell-mark within the curve of the median line; a brown costal 
mark parallel with termen, indicating the proximal boundary of the (obsolete) 
subterminal; terminal dark line rather thick, interrupted by ochreous brown 
spots at the veins; fringe somewhat variegated, whitest between the veins. 
Hind wing with termen waved, at bent or prominent; costal spots and 
first line wanting; median and postmedian more proximal than on fore wing, 
wavy, but taking a fairly direct course across the wing; an ill-defined sub- 
terminal ochreous-brown shade ; termen and fringe as on fore wing. 
Underside with the ground-colour whiter, but more suffused with ochreous, 
brightest on the veins and distally, particularly on the subterminal band of 
the hind wing ; costal margin of fore wing lighter ochreous, the enlarged spots 
wanting; lines ochreous-brown, antemedian of fore wing almost obsolete; 
some ill-defined white subterminal spots (larger on hind wing), terminal line 
of both wings ochreous, without dark admixture. 
Rhodesia: Umvuma, December 1918 (Carnegie). Type in coll. Janse. 
Probably related to tecnium Prout, but more recalling the facies of an 
American than of any African Macaria. 
47. Macaria maculosa ammodes subsp. nov. 
Distinguished from name-typical maculosa Warr. {Nov. Zool. vi. 306; 
Abyssinia to Unyoro and British East Africa, not known to me from further 
south than Kilimanjaro) by its strongly sandy-ochreous tone, which is nearly 
that of natalensis Warr.; much less marked with fuscous and blackish than 
the East African race. 
N. Rhodesia, Nyassaland and Portuguese East Africa, the type c? from 
N.E. Rhodesia (Trenoweth) in coll. Transvaal Museum. 
48. Gonodontis paliscia nov. 
S, 43 mm. Similar to a large dark eveharia Guen. (coloration of Crocallis 
hoisduvalaria H. Luc.). Antennal pectinations longer (almost 5; in erebavia 
only about 3). 
Fore wing with the angles in termen slighter; dark shade proximally to 
the antemedian rather better developed; a narrow dark shade just beyond the 
postmedian between SC^ and (but not reaching either) and a second from 
behind to near tornus. Hind wing with the cell-spot larger than in ereharia 
(above shadowy, beneath strong). 
Fore wing beneath with the postmedian line better developed than in 
ereharia, the anterior narrow shade beyond it extended to apex, the posterior 
one wanting. Hind wing with the postmedian line strong and thick, lunulate- 
dentate, with a deep V-shaped angle inwards at the radial fold; some strong 
dark shades beyond, namely a small one at costa, a broader one (and broad- 
ening posteriorly) from 5C^ to near and a moderate one from to ab- 
dominal margin close to tornus. 
Cape Colony: Stellenbosch, 15 October 1916 (Brauns). Type in coll. 
Janse.
