differences, it should be observed, are roughly parallel to those of A .. 
admiranda Warr. (Novit. Zool., xii, 406 ; £ = Nopia admiranda Warr., 
= Nopia soprinataria Warr., l.c. nec Walk.). 
Apleroneura epione, n. sp. (PI. XII, Fig. 15). 
A ?, 24-28 mm. Face and palpus brown above, whitish beneath. 
Vertex, antenna, thorax, and abdomen concolorous with wings, front of 
thorax ferruginous. 
Wings whitish, sometimes more tinged with ferruginous, sometimes 
with yellow, always coarsely speckled and strigulated with brown, ferruginous 
or fuscous and with the markings of the same colour. These consist on 
forewing of a darkening of costal margin from base nearly to first line, 
an oblique antemedian line from costa at three-sevenths to posterior margin 
at or before one-third, most oblique from SM 2 to the latter margin, a rather 
large cell-spot, a postmedian line from close to apex to posterior margin 
at about three-fourths, more or less strongly incurved in posterior half 
and again curving basewards at posterior margin, and an interrupted 
terminal line ; fringe concolorous, with dark line dis tally. Hindwing 
without first line. Under surface still more coarsely speckled, antemedian 
line weak or wanting, postmedian of forewing double. 
Barberton, 2nd December, 1910, type in coll. A. J. T. Janse. Other 
examples from Pretoria (December), Waterval Onder (November), Durban 
(April), Karkloof (20th February, 1897), White River, Eastern Transvaal 
(December, 1906, and January, 1907), and Mashonaland, in coll. A. J. T. 
Janse, L. B. Prout, Transvaal Museum, British Museum, Oxford Museum. 
It seems curious that so prevalent a species should have escaped notice, 
but as Warren labelled the Oxford Museum examples “ n. sp.” and I have 
myself failed to find any description, I think it safe to treat it as new. It 
is interesting that the specimens at Oxford were collected just a century 
ago by that prince of naturalists, W. J. Burchell ; a $ (the only one of 
this sex yet known to me) is dated 9th November, 1811, and was taken 
at the confluence of the Vaal and Riet Rivers. 
The structure agrees in most respects with that of tripartita Warr., 
vein SC 5 being absent in the £ but present in the $, the antenna in the ? 
shortly bipectinate, etc. But the face is smooth, lacking the small cone 
of scales which is present in perfect specimens of that species, so that the 
present resting place of epione is only provisional. The shape of the wings 
is not quite typical ; the strongly gibbous termen of the forewing and 
slightly sinuous termen of hindwing closely resemble Aspilatopsis , but 
almost the same form is shared by admiranda Warr., which I consider an 
Apleroneura. The wing-shape and the course of the postmedian line 
slightly recall the Palaearctic Epione apiciaria Schiff. The species varies, 
in colour and slightly in the depth of the incurvature of postmedian line. 
The Burchell $, already mentioned, is the brightest specimen, and with 
the two lines rather weak. 
Heterostegane rectistriga, n. sp. 
S $, 23-24 mm. Head and collar ochreous mixed with bright ferru- 
ginous. Front of thorax and costal edge of forewing darker ferruginous.
