Fore wing hyaline, the slight scaling pale ochreous brown, with scarcely 
any green reflections, the dark irroration (strigulation) slight or moderate; 
costal margin more opaquely scaled, more ochreous, rather strongly speckled ; 
cell-dot black, minute; a fine black line at about four-fifths, running from 
SC^ to hind margin, slightly dentate inward on the veins and lunulate out- 
ward between them, weakly excurved between and an interrupted 
metallic line at the distal edge of this, then a lilac-grey shade, then a series 
of triangular interneural » tawny spots, marking the proximal edge of the 
obsolete subterminal line; terminal area pale ochreous or ochreous-grey, 
marked with some dark-grey strigulae ; terminal line brighter ochreous, some- 
what interrupted; fringe pale ochreous, with a few feeble dark interneural 
spots proximally. Hind wing similar, except costally. 
Underside with more violet reflections; cell-dots present; the entire distal 
area from the line (which is not differentiated in colour) to the termen uniform 
dark grey-brown; fringes pale. 
South Rhodesia : Salisbury, 29 November 1917 (Father J. O’Neil). Type 
in coll. Janse. 
Hampson {Proc. Zool. Soc, Lond. 1910, p. 470) identifies a ^ from N.E. 
Rhodesia as flavicaput Warr. and I have also before me two SS from Bingongo, 
Bihe, Angola (Coll. Tring. Mus.), but although Warren’s type of flavicaput 
{Nov. Zool. VIII. 212), also from Angola, is a $ I cannot believe that the two 
are conspecific; sexual dimorphism is virtually negligible in this genus and 
flavicaput belongs to the greener section, with reddish borders. The new 
species is nearer to chrysothyra Hmpsn. in colouring, though rather paler, 
rather less broad-winged, termen of hind wing less full, distal black patches 
wanting, curves in postmedian much less deep. 
60. Heterostegane auranticollis sp. nov. (PI. I, fig. 7). 
Head and antenna ochreous, mixed with orange. Collar and front of 
thorax deeper orange. Thorax and abdomen ochreous, paler beneath. 
Fore wing fairly broad, apex not acute; pale ochreous, strongly irrorated 
with orange-ochreous and with scattered lustrous scales; costal margin bright 
deep orange to near apex; indications of straightish, extremely vague orange 
antemedian, median and postmedian lines; subterminal line rather darker, 
mixed with lustrous scales, running from four-fifths costa to tornus, the out- 
ward angle about ^^d the inward curve behind it (characteristic of many 
of the genus) just noticeable but very weak; no terminal line; fringe con- 
colorous. Hind wing with termen less fully rounded than in indularia Guen. 
(not or scarcely convex between SC^ and R^)\ C anastomosing with SC at 
scarcely more than a point; concolorous with fore wing; antemedian line 
wanting; subterminal scarcely so well developed as on fore wing. 
Underside shghtly paler, fore wing more weakly marked, hind wing 
scarcely marked. 
Moorddrift, 8 December 1914 (C. J. Swierstra). Type in coll. Transvaal 
Museum. 
Unless this be a strongly orange-mixed aberration of suhrectistriga Prout, 
with outer lines less straight than usual, it is clearly undescribed; the rather 
less pointed fore wing and shorter anastomosis of C of hind wing, in addition 
to the differences of colour and markings, induce me to regard it as new. The 
colour more approaches that of aurantiaca Warr. {Nov. Zool. i. 106), though 
not quite so bright.
