Obolcola flavescens, n. sp. (PI. — Fig. 24). 
(£, 24 mm. Form and arrangement of markings as in certain forms 
of the type species (inconclusaria Walk.), but the ground-colour both 
above and below of a decided ochreous yellow. Head, collar, base of 
antenna, front of thorax and base of forewing anteriorly black. Sub- 
terminal blotches between E4 and M 1 very strong and dark on both 
surfaces. 
St. Johns, November, 1909 (H. H. Swinney). Type in coil. Transvaal 
Museum. 
It is impossible on a single specimen to fix the exact status of this 
form, which may be a species or local race or mere aberration of the very 
variable inconclusaria. It agrees perfectly in structure with that. In 
any case it requires a separate name. 
Obolcola deocellata, n. sp. (PL XII, Fig. 2). 
(£, 29 mm. Head brown, fuscous-marked at sides, occiput and palpus 
somewhat mixed with blackish, antennal shaft dark-spotted. Front of 
thorax black, together with extreme base of costa of forewing. Abdomen 
with dorsal dark spots. 
Forewing with termen slightly straighter and apex appearing slightly 
sharper than in the other forms, colour nearly as in preceding, somewhat 
paler, the large round discal mark wanting, postmedian black line or row 
of dots replaced by a dark ochreous line, bent near costa. Underside 
without this line, but with the blackish markings intensified. 
Waterval Onder, 20th November, 1910. Type in coll. A. J. T. Janse. 
The same remarks apply to this as to the preceding, unless its larger 
size, slightly different shape, spotted abdomen, etc., be more significant. 
The under surface is extremely like that of the preceding. 
Tephrina supergressa, n. sp. (PL XII, Fig. 6). 
36-38 mm. Face ochreous, frontal tuft slight. Palpus ochreous, 
slightly marked with fuscous, paler at base. Vertex and antenna coloured 
nearly as wings, antenna furnished with quite short pectinations to beyond 
two-thirds. Occiput ochreous. Collar ochreous-ferruginous. Thorax and 
abdomen concolorous with wings. Abdomen dark-speckled, with paired 
black spots on dorsum, at least of second segment. 
Wings pale ochreous grey, thickly and coarsely (more slightly before 
proximal line) speckled with fuscous, veins rather more ochreous, terminal 
area, for a width of 4 or 5 mm., slightly infuscated, the proximal part of 
this area, at least on forewing, containing a series of large, slightly darker 
spots between the veins. Forewing in the type with antemedian line 
indicated by large blackish spots on SC and M and at posterior margin, 
postmedian by a series of small vein-dots on fine slight ochreous line, just 
before the cloudy margin. Hindwing in the type with an ill-defined dark 
antemedian shade and fine slight ochreous postmedian. The cotype lacks 
these markings, excepting the faintest traces of the postmedian, but has 
the marginal shade better defined, and bears a distinct black cell-spot 
on hindwing. No terminal line. Fringe without dark speckling. Under- 
side nearly as upper, the lines absent in both specimens.
