Axnals of the Tramsvaal Musetjm. 
with costa long, apex rounded, termen waved ; paler than forewing, the 
colour formed, of an even admixture of pale, dark and reddish scales and 
with sparse black dusting ; traces of a pale curved postmedian line from 
abdominal margin near tornus to M 1 , finely and weakly edged with red- 
brown proximally ; cell-spot very indistinct. Underside of both wings, 
strongly reddened, cell-spot of forewing less strong than above ; post- 
median of both wings almost entirely obsolete, followed in costal half 
(especially of hindwing) by a broad strengthening of the black irroration. 
Waterval Onder, 21st November, 1910. Type in coll. A. J. T. Janse. 
Nearly related to the preceding and the following species, but differing 
in shape and colour, in its larger size and in the black apical marking of 
the forewing. 
Apleroneura chromatina , n. sp. (PI. XII, Fig. 27). 
§, 35 mm. Face red, mixed with black ; the cotype with a projecting 
cone of scales which is lost in the type. Palpus shortish, lighter red. 
Antenna nearly simple, weakly subserrate. Crown coloured as face, a 
pale fillet between antennae. Thorax, abdomen, and legs concolorous 
with wings. 
Forewing bright light red-brown, coarsely and irregularly speckled 
with black ; first line from one-third costa to about two-fifths posterior 
margin, scarcely darker red than ground-colour, only visible in some 
lights (the artist has not noticed it) ; discal spot rather large, black ; post- 
median line at nearly three-fourths, slightly curved anteriorly, then nearly 
straight, darker red than ground-colour, narrowly edged with pale yellow 
distally ; terminal area from this line slightly darkened. Hindwing very 
slightly paler, with moderate black discal spot and nearly straight post- 
median line continuing that of forewing and reaching inner margin at 
three-fourths. Under surface similarly coloured, slightly paler towards, 
base of both wings and especially from submedian fold to posterior margin 
of forewing ; cell-spots weaker than above ; postmedian line of both, 
wings present but faint, reddish without yellow edging. 
Waterval Onder, 2nd November, 1910. Type in coll. A. J. T. Janse. 
Karkloof, Natal, 20th February, 1897 (G. A. K. Marshall), a smaller,, 
slightly less bright $ in coll. British Museum, with the postmedian line 
rather inbent in posterior half, may safely be referred to the same species. 
Its tone is slightly more purplish, and the pale line is whitish violet instead 
of yellow. 
A series of six males, likewise from Karkloof, 4th and 6th February,, 
1897, probably belongs here also, but their aspect is so different that I 
have hesitated to include any reference to them in the type description. 
They are lighter, browner, the lines brown, not red, not accompanied 
distally by yellow or whitish line, the distal area of forewing on the other 
hand (except extreme termen) light as in devia, postmedian line on forewing 
considerably nearer to termen, on hindwing only distinct in abdominal 
half of wing. They stand in coll. British Museum as A to Nopia soprinataria 
Walk., which I regard as evidently wrong ; they show all the structure 
of £ Apleroneura, though with smooth termen to hindwing. The colour
