Somewhat variable in colour. The type is the whitest form, with 
strong markings. The three specimens dated 30th August are of a much 
warmer tone, the markings weaker (especially on termen and fringe), the 
underside rather more uniformly suffused with ferruginous, and suggest a 
seasonal form. In one or two at least, the outline of hindwing is so little 
irregular as to be transitional to that of Tefhrina. 
Macaria vau, n. sp. (PI. XII, Fig. 16). 
§, 31 mm. Head and body, with palpus, antenna, and legs, light 
ochreous brown more or less strongly sprinkled with dark fuscous ; face 
and palpus dark-marked above. 
Forewing with termen not excised below apex, SC 1 wanting ; light 
ochreous brown, moderately sprinkled with coarse dark fuscous atoms, 
costal edge from base to near middle more strongly spotted with fuscous ; 
lines weakly darker, greyish brown, arising from quite small dark spots 
at costa ; first from costa at two-sevenths, arising at right angles therewith, 
but bending and becoming oblique basewards from middle of cell ; median 
from costa iust beyond one-half to posterior margin just beyond two-fifths, 
slightly curved at first, parallel with termen from M 1 onwards ; postmedian 
mixed with bright ochreous, from costa at five-sixths, curved at first, 
then parallel with termen, finally slightly curved distal but obsolescent ; 
distal area clouded with purplish fuscous, especially on costa near post- 
median line, at termen from SC 5 to R 3 , and from postmedian line nearly 
to termen posteriorly to R 3 , and bearing a black mark (consisting of two 
confluent broad wedges) between R 3 and M 1 , also a broad oblique dark 
mark from posterior margin close to tornus, reaching about to M 2 ; traces 
of a pale sub terminal line amongst these cloudings ; discal spot black, 
rather large ; terminal line black, strong, interrupted at veins, thickened 
midway between them ; fringe weakly dark-spotted opposite veins. Hind- 
wing weakly subcrenulate, with slightly stronger tooth at end of R 3 ; first 
line wanting, median becoming antemedian, postmedian little beyond 
middle, with a black marking shaped like the Hebrew letter vau from 
before R 3 to behind M 1 and smaller dark spots on the other veins ; the 
rest nearly as in forewing. Underside rather paler, first line of forewing 
almost obsolete, postmedian of both wings followed by a rather broad, 
ochreous-brown, fuscous-mixed band, which is distally dentate on radials 
and M 1 and connected, particularly in forewing, with a terminal dark 
blotch between radials ; the rest nearly as above. 
Thabina, Zoutpansberg District, 19th November, 1905 (C. J. Swierstra). 
Type in coll. Transvaal Museum. 
A rather commonplace-looking species of the large section called by 
Warren “ Gonodela ” (i.e. Pharmacis Hb. = Godonela Bsd.) ; rather similar 
to lataria Walk., postmedian line curved, not angled, the dark mark beyond 
it on upperside differently formed, the band beneath not quite so broad. 
Macaria conventa, n. sp. (PI. XII, Fig. 25). 
?, 34 mm. Face mixed with fuscous (partly abraded). Palpus 
mostly fuscous above, pale with a few fuscous spots beneath. Vertex
