Pareclipsis 'punctata ab. distolochorda, n. ab. {? bon. sp.), 
(PL XXV, Pig. 39). 
$, 33 mm. Differs from typical P. punctata Warr. (Nov., ZooL, 
VII, 97), as follows : Ground-colour above paler, with only a slight fleshy 
tinge ; forewing with first line very indistinct, second, on the other hand, 
strongly developed, the black dots being connected throughout, except 
anteriorly to SC 5 , by shallow black lunules ; a strong, nearly straight, rust- 
coloured line (partly overlaid with black) closely accompanying the post- 
median proximally, from hind margin to R 1 ; the oblique subapical shade 
strong ; cell-mark weak, obscurely outlined in grey, otherwise of the 
ground-colour. Hindwing with the proximal of the two lines also 
exaggerated. The forewing, moreover, is much more strongly convex at 
base of costa and middle of termen than in typical $, which alone I have 
before me ; but Warren mentions a rounded-prominent termen in the 
“type” 
Barberton, 8th January, 1911. 
SC 2 of forewing is connected with SC 3 ' 4 , as sometimes occurs in 
typical punctata. 
Nassunici pretoria, n. sp. (PL XXV, Fig. 40). 
cj $, 36-45 mm. Face dove-colour, upper half with an orange spot 
on each side ; crown bright orange. Antenna dark violet-grey. Thorax 
and abdomen concolorous with w T ings ; an orange dorsal spot on thorax,, 
pairs of very small orange, black-centred spots on abdomen. Forewing 
light pinkish-violet, with an orange spot at base of costa ; antemedian 
line consisting of three orange, black-centred spots on the veins, the anterior 
one the largest, the median one slightly further from base ; postmedian line 
formed of a similar curved row of vein-spots, all small. Hindwing with 
inner and distal margins and fringe concolorous with the forewing, the rest 
orange, becoming pale in the submedian area ; a dark orange postmedian 
line, curved parallel with termen (less sinuous than the row of dots of 
caffraria L.). Forewing beneath orange, with costal and distal margins, 
and a broader apical area light pinkish-violet, the lines of dots deeper 
orange, in addition a dark cell-dot. Hindwing beneath light pinkish- 
violet, with orange, dark-centred cell-dot and postmedian row of vein- 
dots. 
Pretoria, 22nd November, 1913 (type §), 20th November, 1913 
(cotype ? in coll. L. B. Prout), a (worn) and two $$ in coll. British 
Museum, ex coll. Distant. Not at all variable. May conceivably be a 
remarkable recurrent colour-aberration of caffraria ; the antennal pectina- 
tions appear very slightly longer, but the distance is so very trifling that 
without anatomical research I cannot be sure that my eyes do not deceive* 
me. In any case it requires a name.
