towards upper median and approaching to, but not anastomosing with, it 
at J, where upper median is bent. 
Only one species is known to me of this peculiar genus. Its position 
is rather uncertain ; it may be a side development of Redoa, parallel to 
Lacipa. 
Bicelluphora argentea, nov. spec. (pi. III, fig. 2). 
Head, thorax above, and fore wing silvery white, tinged with cream 
colour (XV) ; palpi, hairs on fore legs, abdomen underneath hair brown

a black elongated mark on pro-thorax between the tegulae ; 2 black 
marks on meta-thorax near end of tegulae ; all lines on fore wing blackish ; 
sub-basal well defined, angled at upper median and extended till lb ; anti- 
medial double, extending from costa to inner margin ; orbicular pear- 
shaped, clearly defined ; medial strong and from costa to inner part of 
remform, then inwards along lower median for nearly § of its length, then 
broadly to inner margin ; postmedial thin, but sharply defined, from costa 
to inner margin, bordering the outer side of renitorm, bent inwards at 
vein 2, outwards at median fold and inwards again at lb ; a black streak 
from postmedial near costa to medial at upper angle and one from the 
same lines nearly parallel to medial at lower median from vein 3 to vein 2 ; 
sub-terminal line double, but inner line best defined, roundly curved out- 
wards at veins 6 and 7, sharp at 4 to 5, then curved inwards and forming 
a macula at between 2 and lb ; terminal faintly indicated between the 
veins ; cilia silvery white with fuscous black (XLYI) at between veins 7-6, 
6-5, 5-4, and above 16.

Hab. Barberton (Jeffery). 
This species very much resembles a Centra of the Notodontidae family, 
but its structure is clearly like a Lymantriadae. Only one specimen is 
known to me, belonging to the Transvaal Museum, which is unfortunately 
somewhat rubbed on one upper wing, but otherwise in good preservation.
