its boundaries deep ferruginous, the boundary of basal patch, and most 
of the veins also marked in deep ferruginous. 
Onychia horismodes , n. sp. (PL XII, Fig. 29). 
<f; 34 mm. Head dark red-brown, middle of face paler, lower part 
and palpus blackish, first joint white. Antenna red-brown, pectinations 
moderate. Thorax above dark red-brown, abdomen somewhat paler, 
dorsally darker — and paler — marked. Legs red-brown, marked with 
whitish at ends of joints. 
Forewing with costa slightly arched, apex moderate, termen strongly 
oblique, gently curved ; reddish brown, with basal and median areas 
more pronounced red-brown ; basal patch bounded by a fine black, pale- 
edged line from costa at one-fourth, bent in cell, thence running obliquely 
to inner margin at one-sixth, slightly indented on the veins ; median band 
3 or 4 mm. in width, bounded by fine black, pale-edged irregular lines 
approximately parallel with termen, the proximal one considerably thickened 
in cell ; some faint undulate lines in the median band and the areas on 
either side of it ; a small black cell-spot close to antemedian line ; a few 
white spots indicating the subterminal line ; an oblique black streak from 
apex ; terminal line black, interrupted at vein ends ; fringe concolorous. 
Hindwing much paler, with the anal area concolorous with forewing, the 
rest of abdominal margin and base slightly more smoky than apical half 
of wing ; a thick black line from abdominal margin at two-thirds, becoming 
fine and indistinct and vanishing before costa ; the commencements of 
other lines between this and tornus ; a small black discal spot ; terminal 
line and fringe as on forewing. Underside of both wings blurred reddish 
brown, with discal spots larger than above ; hindwing with the postmedian 
line of upperside present, rather thick, but not black. 
Woodbush Village, 15th December, 1909 (C. J. Swierstra). Type in 
Transvaal Museum. Transkei, 1 $ (Miss F. Barrett) in coll. British

Shape and aspect slightly recall a Horisme. 
Horisme obscurata , n. sp. (PI. XII, Fig. 21). 
S $, 31-33 mm. Head fuscous mixed with black ; lower part of face 
black. Palpus black, base beneath pale. Thorax and abdomen above 
concolorous with wings, the anterior half of each abdominal segment 
mainly fuscous, the posterior reddish, the crests fuscous with pale tips. 
Legs pale, speckled with fuscous, foreleg mostly fuscous above. 
Forewing with termen weakly subcrenulate ; light reddish brown 
traversed by many lines of fuscous or blackish, the veins in places (especially 
the median) with elongate dark spots or dashes ; a small basal area slightly 
darkened, containing one or two lines, its limiting line curved, followed 
by a very narrow band of the ground colour ; two or three thick, rather 
ill-defined darkish lines between this and the median area ; median band 
moderately broad, formed much as in Camptogramma stellata Guen., in the 
§ more or less infuscated except a narrow bar down the middle, in the 
S indicated chiefly by the traversing lines and by some darkening and 
thickening (especially costally) of those which bound it ; the usual rivulet
