discal spot as above, postmedian line rather thick, curved, obsolete pos- 
teriorly, pale double band nearly as above, distal area slightly darkened, 
containing a pale subterminal line ; of hindwing slightly whiter than 
above, with a strong black discal spot and the lines better developed than 
above. 
Pretoria, 31st December, 1910 (C. J. Swierstra). Type in coll. 
Transvaal Museum. 
Of about the size and shape of the European E. haworthiata Doubl., 
perhaps even slightly shorter in the forewing. The only African species 
with which it may be compared is E. connexa Warr. (Novit. Zool., vi, 297), 
which — -although the author does not mention the fact— has about the 
same wing-form, but which is much browner in tone, with the pale band 
distally to the postmedian broader, in its distal half rufescent, and markedly 
outcurved between R 3 and M 2 . 
Aspilatopsis gloriola, n. sp. (PI. XII, Eig. 19). 
A ?, 32-36 mm. Face and palpus deep rosy, the former with patch 
of light greenish in middle of forehead. Vertex, antenna, thorax, and 
abdomen mainly light greenish, thorax deep rosy medio- dorsally and 
marked with rosy beneath. Legs mostly rosy, excepting tarsi. 
Forewing light shining bronzy green, with costal edge and fringe 
rosy; a rosy mark from base ; an oblique snow-white line from termen, 
indented on R 2 , R 3 , and M 1 , becoming weaker, not traceable beyond SM 2 ; 
a broad rosy shade anteriorly to this line ; termen sometimes suffused 
with rosy. Hindwing pale shining grey, with indistinct paler median line 
and pinkish fringe. Underside of both wings paler, forewing with the 
rosy costa less bright but more diffuse, the oblique markings nearly obsolete. 
Woodbush Village, 13th December, 1909 (C. J. Swierstra). Type ($) 
in coll. L. B. Prout ; other examples from Pretoria (1 §, 4-17th December, 
1900, Dr. Breyer), and “ Transvaal ” (5 A) in coll. British Museum ; also 
in coll. Transvaal Museum. 
Apparently similar to cursaria Dewitz (Nova Acta Acad., Leop., xlii, 
86, t.3, f .18), which I have not seen, but less robust, quite differently 
coloured and with the white line more dentate. Not quite a typical 
Aspilatopsis, the termen of forewing not being gibbous and the thorax 
above being even more densely clothed, with better developed meta- 
thoracic crest. Antennal pectinations shorter in both sexes, those of 
the 5 slender, only about twice as long as width of shaft. The narrow 
wings and peculiar pattern suggest an approach to Hebdomophruda Warr., 
which is rougher-scaled, with SC 5 coincident, not SC 3 , etc. The abdomen 
dorsally is peculiar in all the specimens I have seen — though some are in 
beautiful condition ; the clothing does not reach to the end of the seg- 
ments, but leaves a posterior exposed membranous patch. 
Apleroneura devia, n. sp. (PI. XII, Fig. 12). 
A, 32 mm. Head purple-brown. Palpus more ferruginous-tinted, 
slightly longer than in tripartita Warr., the type of the genus (Novit. Zool., 
v, 35). Thorax purple-brown above ; thorax beneath and abdomen 
somewhat paler.
