upper side.

This species comes close to sanguigutta, Hmpsn., I think, but can 
be distinguished from it by the colour of both wings and the fascia of 
the fore wing. 
The process of fore leg is less curved, much thicker, and more bluntly 
rounded than in fasciata. The palpi are smaller than in the other species ; 
the second joint has the same proportion as in fasciata , but is more conical ; 
the third joint is in a line with the second joint and slightly shorter.

This species w^as omitted by Hampson in his “ South African 
Moths,” and following the key in that work my specimens would have 
to be identified as stellata, Dist. Distant’s description fits my specimens 
fairly well, but is too vague to give certainty. My largest specimen, 
however (a $), is only 34-7 mill., and the majority are much smaller. I 
doubt that this rather small moth will ever be as big as 44 mill., as Hamp- 
son gives in his list for stellata. Swinhoe, l.c. p. 410, places stellata as a 
synonym of fasciata, which I think is wrong in any case. At any rate, 
all specimens I have seen are distinct from fasciata, though they occur m 
the same locality. Kuby’s description and figure of pallida fit mv speci- 
mens very well, and I have little doubt that my identification is correct, 
and that stellata is another distinct species. 
The fore wing has vein 11 from § upper median and 3, 4, 5 a little 
farther apart than in fasciata ; the hind wing has 6 and 7 on a little longer 
stalk and 5 is rather farther apart from the stalk of 3 and 4; the palpi 
of the have the third joint shorter and in a line with joint 2 ; in the $ 
the palpi are shorter, especially the third joint ; in $ the process of fore 
tibia is absent.
