Annals op the Tkansvaal Museum. 
usually mixed with fuscous. Body and wings ochreous, varying a little 
in depth. Wing-markings ferruginous, usually in part mixed with fuscous. 
Forewing with four, hindwing with three transverse lines, the first and 
third on forewing sometimes weak or even wanting, the distal on both 
wings broadened into a narrow fascia, nearly straight (at least on forewing) 
usually slightly dentate at its edges ; the other lines slightly wavy 
(especially on hindwing), the first two of forewing bent at SC ; terminal 
line interrupted. Underside of forewing suffused from base to second 
line ; markings otherwise as above. 
Pretoria, 19th February, 1907. Type (?) in coll. A. J. T. Janse ; 
cotypes, October, December, and February in coll. L. B. Prout and Trans- 
vaal Museum ; also a few in coll. British Museum from localities in the 
same district. 
Differs from indularia Guen. in the strong straight sub terminal band 
and absence of terminal blotches ; discal dots also wanting. 
Stegania inaccurata, n. sp. (PI. XTI, Fig. 28). 
22 mm. Face and palpus ochreous, palpus moderately rough. 
Antenna ochreous, paler distally, bipectinate to near apex with moderate, 
stiff branches. Thorax and base of abdomen ochreous, abdomen paler 
posteriorly and beneath. 
Forewing ochreous, darker dusted, with darker, browner lines ; first 
oblique outwards from costa at one-fourth, strongly bent on SC, thence 
vertical, but with an inward curve in submedian area ; second from costa 
beyond three-fourths, bisinuate ; a weaker, thicker, nearly straight median 
shade, crossing an indistinct dark discal spot ; termen with small black 
dots between the veins ; fringe concolorous. Hindwing whitish, only 
along the abdominal margin and distally to the postmedian line ochreous ; 
no proximal line, median shade obsolete in costal half of wing (in the 
cotype obsolete throughout), postmedian line nearly parallel with termen, 
weak or obsolete at its costal extremity ; terminal dots as on forewing ; 
no discal spot. Underside of forewing whitish ochreous with costal and 
rather broad distal areas ochreous, the costal with beginnings of dark 
lines at nearly one-third and at beyond two-thirds (not corresponding 
with upper surface) ; of hindwing whitish, shaded with ochreous along 
costa and abdominal margin and more broadly distally, with a complete 
postmedian line and a faint fine median crossing the cell-spot ; both wings 
with small but distinct cell-spots. 
Haenertsburg, 4th December, 1909 (C. J. Swierstra), type in coll. 
Transvaal Museum ; 6th December, 1909, cotype in coll. L. B. Prout. 
The latter clearer ochreous and weaker marked, its underside entirely 
without lines, discal dots minute. 
Like S. eurycraspis Hampson (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1910, p. 467), 
this species is irregular in having the $ antenna pectinate, in this resembling 
the genus Xenostege ; R 2 of forewing, however, arises from but little above 
the middle of discocellulars and SC 1 ' 2 (coincident) from cell (though almost 
connate with SC 3-5 ), anastomosing strongly with C ; in Xenostege it is 
always stalked with SC 3 ' 5 and oftenest free from C. It seems inexpedient, 
therefore, to destroy the homogeneity of that thoroughly natural genus 
bv forcing it to include the new species.
