Types in coll., Tvl. Mus. ; co-types in coll., Tvl. Mus., and coll., 
Janse. 
<$ and $ have the hind wing with vein 3 and 4 on a stalk of J or J, and 
the stalk of 8 and 9 of fore wing is longer than usually. 
I have little doubt that the $ belongs to the <J, though in general 
appearance they do not resemble each other much ; the structure, how- 
ever, is very much the same, and the and $ types were caught on the 
same day and in the same locality. 
I do not know any Lcplia to which- this species comes near. 
Lselia aureus, nov. spec. (pi. Ill, fig. 12). 
<J. Head, palpi, tegulae, thorax on under side, abdomen, ground 
colour of fore wing and hind wing light orange-yellow (III) ; on vertex 
those hairs are mixed with hairs of an ochraceous-tawny (XV) colour ; 
thorax above covered with ochraceous-tawny hairs ; shaft of antennae 
ochraceous-tawny ; branches blackish ; fore wing thickly irrorated with 
ochraceous-tawny scales, but less thickly on inner margin; sub-basal line 
indicated by some blackish tipped scales, by which also the orbicular and 
reniform are represented, while above the orbicular near costa a fuscous 
irroration indicates the medial line ; postmedial line faint and of blackish 
tipped scales, oblique, well rounded from costa till vein 3, then curved 
inwards at vein 2 ; sub-terminal faint and made of blackish tipped scales, 
parallel to apex and termen as far as vein 3, then slightly curved inwards ; 
terminal represented by a few blackish scales only ; cilia ochraceous- 
tawny ; hind wing and cilia of ground colour, without the irroration or 
any marking, but slightly lighter at basal area. 
Under side light orange-yellow ; fore wing somewhat irrorated with 
ochraceous-tawny, except a costal streak, and more thickly at apical and 
terminal area. 
Hind wing has vein 3 and 4 on a stalk of J. 
Exp. 23-5 mill. 
Hab. Only one specimen, from Umkomaas (10.1.14, Janse). 
This species comes close to L. punciulata , from which it may be dis- 
tinguished by the irrorated fore wing, its much smaller size, and the 
differently running sub-terminal line. 
Lselia robusta, nov. spec. (pi. Ill, fig. 13). 
c£. Head, palpi, shaft and branches of antennse, thorax, ground 
colour of fore wing, tibiae and tarsae of legs pinkish-buff (XXIX) ; palpi 
with some fuscous (XL VI) scales at side ; at base of antennae a few fuscous 
scales ; thorax below, femora of all legs, and the abdomen dorsally at 
base, the sides, and the under side, whitish ; further part of abdomen 
above pinkish-buff, mixed with some fuscous hairs. 
Fore wing with the inner marginal area somewhat lighter than the 
ground colour ; whole wing, except inner marginal area, evenly sprinkled 
with fuscous ; a few dark scales at place of sub -basal line ; reniform only 
represented by some fuscous scales ; postmedial indicated by a series of 
fuscous-black (XL VI) scales, in the shape of a lunule at between veins 6-5 
and 5-4, then of small spots between 4-3 and 3-2 and a larger rounded
