variegated, the pale subterminal line entirely or almost entirely obliterated ; 
but especially in the much thickened, deep black lines. The underside 
shows the lines equally thick, but much less intense, the discal spots (as in 
the other forms of the species) rather large and conspicuous, no other 
definite markings. 
Barberton, 26th February, 1911 (Miss Williams). Type (A) in coll. 
Transvaal Museum. Durban, May, 1905 (Marley), August, 1902 (G. F. 
Leigh), A and. 2 respectively, in coll. British Museum. 
A striking form, which at first sight might suggest a separate species, 
but which agrees in all essentials with the type. The specimen figured is 
of a darker, redder brown than any divisaria that I have seen, but I have 
not emphasized this, as the Durban examples are of a normal tone. The 
fovea in this species is not very highly developed ; the foretibia unusually 
densely tufted, midtibia in A clothed with long hair, A hindtibia not dilated ; 
SC * 1 ' 2 of forewing are always stalked, though variably in extent. The 
hindtibia! character is clearly not generic, the venational may be ; I 
therefore provisionally accept a distinction noted, by Meyrick (Trans. Ent. 
Soc., Bond., 1892, pp. 100, 103, 105), and assign to Aids those species of 
Boarmia (auctt.) which fall into Meyrick’s Selidosema (SC 1 and SC 2 distinct 
entities), retaining in Boarmia those of his Diastictis , in which — in simpler 
phraseology than that adopted by Meyrick — SC 1-2 are coincident, though 
sometimes connected with other veins by short bars in the apical part 
of the wing. I fear, however, that Aids will sink to Cleora (Curt., nec 
Meyr.), in which some of the A characters are a little different, the termen 
of the hind wing not crenulate, etc., but for which I have not yet discovered 
any definitely generic distinction. 
Aids sexorbata , n. sp. (PI. XII, Fig. 40). 
A, 43 mm. Face rather smooth, black, slightly mixed with deep 
reddish. Palpus short, moderately rough ; dark reddish, mixed with 
black, beneath whitish at base. Vertex, occiput, and base of antennal 
shaft white. Antenna with long pectinations, only a few segments at 
apex simple. Fore and middle legs mostly blackish above and on inner 
side ; hindleg whitish, tibia not dilated. Thorax and abdomen concolorous 
with wings, first three segments of abdomen with paired dark dorsal spots, 
fourth to eighth ea-Ji with single black mediodorsal one at its anterior 
extremity. 
Forewing with fovea present ; termen smooth, cell rather longer than 
one-half, SC 1 ' 2 short-stalked., separating opposite origin of SC 3 ' 5 ; dead 
white, irrorated and in places slightly clouded with brown ; costal area 
moderately speckled with fuscous ; lines represented by blackish spots 
on costa and veins, the costal ones large, reaching to SC ; first line at 
one-fifth ; median before one-half, its central spot placed at base of M 2 ; 
postmedian from about two-thirds costa, commencing obliquely outwards ; 
Soc. Lond., 1910, p. 473, t. 39, f. 37). The last two synonyms are new, based on examina- 
tion of the types. The first two, given by Swinhoe (Trans. Ent. Soc., Lond., 1904, p. 534) 
I have personally checked. Moschler does not describe the exact form of the postmedian 
line of the forewing, but his description is otherwise perfect, and I have the species from 
the Gold Coast, whence he described his separaria »
