Fore wing with basal area less reddish than in the allies, with a black spot 
at base of cell and rather thick black boundary-line, narrowed or somewhat 
interrupted at M; cell-ring longer (reaching base of R^-M^) and less broad, 
its pale centre larger; median shade ill-defined; postmedian accompanied 
distally by lustrous scaling, intermediate between those of secutaria and 
metallicata Warr. ; prevailing tone of distal area pale olive-grey; some black- 
grey spots at costa, between the radials and at hind margin immediately 
beyond the postmedian, succeeded by narrow red-brown scaling or ill-defined 
spots ; further black-grey spots at costa midway between postmedian and termen 
(representing confluence of the first three subterminal teeth) and about R‘^ 
from the red-brown shade almost to termen. Hind wing with median shade 
blackish and thick at abdominal margin, otherwise obsolescent ; the black-grey 
and red-brown shades distally to the postmedian more continuous than on 
fore wing, the former also broader; terminal area more dark-mixed, at least 
in anterior half, pale subterminal line indicated, mixed with some lustrous 
scales. 
Underside with cell-spots and distal area blackish.

58. Zamarada opposita sp. nov. (PI. I, fig. 23). 
d, 16 mm.; $, 19 mm. Again close to secutaria (hind legs of d lost). In 
coloration nearest to the darkest secutaria, but with stronger blackish raised 
spots (mixed with metallic scales) on metathorax and anterior part of abdomen 
— on the latter tending to form transverse bands — less strong irroration in 
the median area of both wings and some strong dark cloudings in the distal 
area. $ antennal pectinations fully as long as in secutaria. 
Fore wing with well-defined basal patch, its boundary-line little darker; 
cell-spot formed as in ilma, but predominantly black, only with a few pale 
and metallic scales ; median line obsolete, except for a costal spot close to the 
cell-spot; distal area rather broader than in average secutaria, the sinus be- 
tween R^ and about as deep as in that species but slightly different in shape, 
the postmedian line projecting more at M^, almost right-angled ; distal area 
reddish brown, with ill-defined black clouding in anterior part (weakest 
apically), reaching to R^, and an ill-defined oblique black bar from hind 
margin close to tornus to at the sinus of the postmedian. -Hind wing with 
the distal area rather broader, less strongly but more uniformly dark-clouded, 
the sinus of the postmedian much weaker. 
Underside with the distal area uniformly blackish. 
Transvaal: Woodbush Village, April 1915 (C. J. Swierstra), type ^ in coll. 
Transvaal Museum; Pretoria, 13 February 1916 (A. J. T. Janse), $ in coll. 
Janse. 
The pale parts of the distal area in the $ are slightly more olivaceous than 
in the d, and this fact, together with the small size and a few other points of 
similarity, suggest a possibility (not probability) that this may be a form of 
ilma. 
59- Zamarada denticatella sp. nov. 
S, 2.6 mm. Head and body light ochreous brown, the face, the proximal 
part of antennal shaft and the upper and inner side of fore leg (especially coxa 
and femur) with rather strong black irroration, the body above with less 
copious and less black irroration; abdomen with two or three ill-defined 
purplish dorsal spots. Hind tibia strongly dilated in proximal part, tapering 
gradually from the region of the proximal spurs distad.
