with it by a bar ; process of fore legs in (J shorter, thicker, and a little 
less curved at base ; in $ the process is as in the (? ; palpi in and § with 
thud joint a little longer than in fasciata. 
Euproctis straminicolor, nov. spec. (pi. Ill, fig. 20). 
$. Head, palpi, shaft of antennae, thorax, legs and ground colour of 
fore wing straw-yellow (XVI) ; branches of antennae ochraceous-orange 
(XY) ; abdomen, hind wings above, and both wings on under side amber- 
yellow (XYI) ; anal tuft cinnamon-brown (XY) ; fore wmg with very 
faint indistinct light medial, postmedia] , and sub-terminal lines ; a cad- 
mium-orange (III) rounded orbicular, with an indication of dark scales 
on inner side ; a faint fascia of scattered amber-brown (III) scales, mixed 
with a few orange (III) scales (the co-type from Pretoria has three or four 
darker coloured scales between vein 5 and 6, forming a rudimentary sub- 
terminal spot, such as is fully developed in nigripuncta) ; hind wings 
without any markings ; cilia of both wings straw-yellow ; under side of 
both wings without any marking. 
Exp. 33 -6 mill. 
Hab. Type and one co-type from Waterval, Zoutpansberg District 
(27-29.12.99, bred by Janse ; larva feeding on a species 
of acacia). 
One co-type in coll., Tvl. Mus., from Pretoria (Jan., 1898, 
Swierstra). 
Palpi as in bicolor ; process of fore tibia very short (J of tibia), thin, 
straight, and pointed ; venation as in fasciata , except that the fore wing 
has 3, 4, and 5 more apart ; hind wing with 3, 4 from a point or on a very 
short stalk ; 5 more apart from 4 than in fasciata. 
It is possible that this is the $ of Euproctis bicolor, but the colour is 
so different that I think it better to look for the present upon it as a 
distinct species till later on more breeding gives better views. 
I consider this species to be closely allied to crocata (judging from the 
meagre description), but it is much smaller and has no fascia. 
Euproctis bicolor, nov. spec. (pi. Ill, fig. 21 ; pi. VII, fig. 5). 
<£. Palpi, frons, thorax, abdomen on under side, hairs on legs, and 
ground colour of fore wings maize-vellow (IY) ; head, thorax, basal part 
of abdomen above, and shaft of antennse buff-yellow (III) ; branches of 
antennae raw sienna (III) ; further part of abdomen above light orange- 
yellow (III) ; ground colour of hind wing deep chrome (III). 
Fore wing with the antimedial part tinged with apricot-yellow (IV) ; 
medial, postmedial, sub-terminal, and terminal lines apricot-vellow ; 
medial line evenly rounded ; postmedial broad near costa, rounded at 
veins 3, 4, 5, then slightly incurved ; sub-terminal broad at costal 4 and 
parallel to postmedial ; terminal angled inwards at veins ; space between 
medial and postmedial lines filled with black and orange-chrome (II) scales 
from lower median till inner margin, so as to form a fascia ; orbicular 
rounded, orange-chrome, and with a few black scales ; cilia apricot-yellow. 
Hind wings .without markings ; cilia light orange-yellow.
