of fore wing and the non-angulate distal margin of hind wing, as well as by 
the more glossy texture and reduction of the markings on upper surface. The 
spurs on the hind tibia seem unusually short for this genus, but this is probably 
simply a sectional difference. In other points lioperas seems to agree exactly 
in structure with the genus Egnasia. 
3. Antarchaea carnea sp. nov. (PI. I, fig. 27). 
$, 34 mm. Head, thorax, abdomen, legs and ist joint of palpus (2nd and 
3rd joints are missing) pale ochreous tinged in parts with pinkish; the 
tegulae broadly tipped with grey; fore and mid tibia irrorated with brick-red 
on the outer side; tarsi (except at the tips of the joints) irrorated with greyish, 
the hind tarsus being paler than the others. 
Fore wing above nearly uniformly suffused with pinkish, more ochreous 
on the veins and at base; the costa narrowly tinged with reddish-orange. 
Faint traces of a double, outwardly oblique antemedial line, indicated chiefly 
by black spots behind costa, near base, and before hind margin at more than 
one-third; some black scales behind at about three-fifths from base of 
wing, apparently forming part of a practically obsolete ( ? nearly erect) medial 
line ; a few scattered black spots in place of postmedial and subterminal lines ; 
a row of interneural black spots close to termen; fringe darker and browner 
than the wing. 
Hind wing coloured as fore wing but with the anterior third and the ab- 
dominal margin almost without pink suffusion. A few scattered black spots; 
interneural spots as on fore wing; fringe a little darkened but pinkish. 
Underside of both wings ochreous flushed with pink on distal third, 
especially towards apex, and with a crenulate dark terminal line; fringes pinkish 
with a fine pale line at base. Fore wing with the costa to near apex golden- 
yellow, more broadly towards apex. 
Sandfontein, December 1911 (J. v. Niekerk), one $. 
Might just possibly be a unicolorous ab. oifragilis Btlr., but the hind wing 
is much pinker (more as in haematoessa Hmpsn.) and what indication there is 
of the lines does not seem to agree With, fragilis. The wings also seem slightly 
too broad for that species.
