long hairs of legs and cilia of hind wings light cadminm ; medial and post- 
medial lines very indistinctly represented by apricot-yellow (IV), or totally 
absent ; reniform orange-chrome (II), edged on inner and outer side by 
some black scales ; from reniform towards 4 of inner margin a band of 
same width over the whole length, but interrupted between reniform and 
vein 3, faint at space between 2 and 3, broken at vein 2 and consisting 
of orange-chrome scales, edged on both sides and mixed all over with 
black scales (in co-type this band is narrower and mainly consists of 
black scales, mixed with a few orange-chrome scales) ; a sub-terminal line 
represented by a few black or sometimes also by a few orange-chrome 
scales at between veins 8-7, 7-6, 6-5, and before vein 2. 
Hind wing and under side without markings. 
$ like but anal tuft with tawny-olive (XXIX) hairs. 
Exp. $ type, 31 -8 mill. ; $ type, 36 -3 mill. 
Hab. A $ types and £ co-type from Water val Onder (15.12.10, 
Janse), bred from larva No. 9 feeding on Combretum 
spec. 
Also one $ in fair preservation from Estcourt (Natal) by 
J. M. Hutchinson (in 1894-95), which is in the Pieter- 
maritzburg Mus. 
Types and co-type in coll., Janse. 
This species is -closely allied to E. crocata, but differs from it in several 
characters ; the process of the fore leg is in the $ of iridescens less curved 
(my $ iridescens has the fore legs lost, so I cannot compare these with 
crocata) ; the palpi differ in having the second joint a little shorter and 
thicker and the third joint is only of \ the length of that of crocata ; 
the fore and hind wings have not the same colour as is the case in all 
crocata I have seen ; the under side is much darker and the medial band 
is absent.

The palpi of this species are as in fasciata, but the second joint is a 
little thinner ; the process of the $ fore tibia is a little longer and the 
curved end is larger and more rounded ; in the 5 this process is very thin 
and short.
