Exp. $ 33 *5 mill. ; $ 38 mill. 
Hab. $ type from Barberton (14. 1 . 09, G. W. Jeffery), in coll., Janse ; 
co-type, Warmberg (18.2.04, Janse); only 28-5 mill. 
$ type from Umkomaas (30.1.14, Janse). 
I studied two more 5? 'from Durban (16.11.08, XII, Leigh) and one $ 
from Barberton (25.12.10, Janse). 
I received one 2 from Mr. Clark, caught at Durban, which was 
identified by Mr. A. T. Cooke as D. diffusa, but diffusa is distinctly 
the $ of D. municipalis, as Hampson rightly states in Ann. S.A. Mus., 
p. 397. Distant’s description of diffusa does not fit the $ of L. clarki at 
all, and the $ of this species is different to the of municipalis, though 
not so much as the $. Moreover, this is not a Dasychira , but a Lcelia, as 
the palpi, the process of the fore legs, and the venation clearly indicate, 
they only differ from the typical Lcelia in having vein 3 and 4 stalked in 
all the specimens I examined.
