Annals of the Transvaal Museum. 
Underside of both wings coarsely irrorated with brown, appearing rather 
more ochreous ; first line of forewing wanting ; median and postmedian 
lines as above ; subterminal scarcely indicated. 
Waterberg District, January to March, 1899, Platriver, same district, 
January to February, 1903, both collected by R. v. Jutrzencka ; type 
and cotype in coll. Transvaal Museum. A cotype, same district, in coll. 
British Museum, quite typical in facies but a most extraordinary sport in 
venation, R 2 of hindwing being obsolete (!). 
Like dapharia Swinh., and one or two other species that have been 
referred to this genus, the shape is a little different from that of the type, 
recalling (as does also the coloration of the present species) Phyletis Guen. 
(Warr. restr.). The A is unknown, but will probably prove, like dapharia, 
to have two spurs on the hind tibia. 
Pylarge subobliquata, n. sp. (PL XII, Fig. 5). 
$, 22 mm. Face black, Palpus blackish above, first and second 
joints white beneath. Vertex and base of antenna white. Collar and 
extreme front of thorax light ochreous brown. Thorax and abdomen 
otherwise white, speckled with fuscous. Legs whitish, forecoxa and femur 
fuscous above. 
Forewing white, speckled- with fuscous ; lines pale ochreous brown, 
very indistinct except the postmedian, which is mixed with fuscous ; all 
nearly parallel with termen, starting from posterior margin at even dis- 
tances, the first apparently curved or inbent in cell, but becoming almost 
obsolete, the median very slightly oblique, hence very slightly nearer to 
the postmedian at costa, postmedian thickened with dark spots on the 
veins ; sub terminal line indicated by faint pale brown shading on either 
side ; discal dot black, not minute, placed considerably before the median 
line ; termen with distinct black dots between the veins ; fringe concolorous 
with wing. Hindwing without first line, the median crossing the cell-spot, 
postmedian very slightly incurved between R 1 and R 3 . Under surface of 
forewing more suffused with fuscous in cell and cos tally thereto, median 
shade faintly discernible, postmedian, sub terminal and terminal markings 
as above. Under surface of hindwing nearly as above, but without the 
median shade. 
Haenertsburg, 4th December, 1911 (C. J. Swierstra). Type in coll. 
L. B. Prout, cotype in Transvaal Museum. 
Apparently very nearly related to obliquiscripta Warr. (Novit. Zook, 
iv, 62, described as a Sterrha). It is therefore safe to assume that both 
belong to Pylarge (A hindtibia with two spurs, $ with four). In Warren’s 
species the postmedian line is more feebly dark-spotted, the subterminal 
much more distinct, the median of forewing grey (less brown), crossing 
the cell-spot, that of hindwing placed proximally to the cell-spot. Moreover 
in the type of obliquiscripta SC 2 of the hind wing is separate, in subobliquata 
it arises from the base of the stalk of R 1 . 
Acidalia mettiflua, Warr. ab. sumpta, n. ab. 
Differs from typical mellifiua Warr. (Novit. Zool., iv, 52, Craspedia) 
in the presence on the forewing above of a large blackish cell-mark instead
