Annals of the Transvaal Museum. 223 
discal spot faintly shadowed in grey ; large, roundish dots on termen 
between the veins ; fringe concolorous. Hind wing with termen gently 
waved, very slightly crenulate between radials ; cell almost three-fifths ; 
first line wanting, median weak, cell-spot distinct, blackish. Underside 
white ; forewing suffused with brown and with some longitudinal blackish 
marks on costal edge, corresponding to the large spots of upperside ; a 
large round blackish cell-mark ; a similarly sized, slightly less round sub- 
apical spot on costa ; transverse markings wanting, oidy a minute black 
dot on R 1 remaining of the postmedian ; hindwing with a round blackish 
cell-mark, considerably smaller than on forewing ; both wings with ter- 
minal dots much smaller and weaker than above. 
Durban, 8th October, 1902 (G. F. Leigh). Type in coll. L. B. Prout ; 
cotype in coll. Transvaal Museum. 
Differs from true Aids in having the tongue rudimentary or perhaps 
entirely absent, and in the rather long cells, while the face is unusually 
flat ; but it does not seem possible to refer it to the Biston section. In 
view of the multitude of generic names already in existence in the Boarmia 
group, I prefer not to erect a new' genus until I can study them in more 
detail. 
Haggardia mailaria caeca , n. subsp. (PI. XII, Fig. 11). 
o, 46 mm. Differs from the Congo form* in the entire absence of the 
large discal spot on both wings above and its smaller size beneath. Other- 
wise scarcely distinguishable. Under surface of forewing with a postmedian 
line of black dots (or very short dashes) on the veins, forming a slight 
outward curve from costa to R 3 and. a still slighter inward curve from R 3 
to posterior margin ; of hindwing with similarly formed postmedian, 
following about the same course as that of the upper surface from abdominal 
margin to R 1 , there bluntly angled and running almost straight to costa 
before three-fourths ; these markings are not mentioned by Swinhoe, 
perhaps because in his type (which is worn) they are rather indistinct, 
but they are clearly present. 
^Weenen, 25th September, 1903 (G. Burn). Type in coll. L. B. Prout ; 
cotype in coll. Transvaal Museum. A $ in coll. British Museum from 
White River, Eastern Transvaal, 20th November, 1910 (A. T. Cooke), ‘is 
larger, rather less brown, more densely speckled, especially on under 
surface, where a dense irroration almost obliterates the lines. 
The genus Haggardia , as used by Warren, contains rather heterogeneous 
elements. The present species is structurally related to subalbata Warr. 
(Novit. Zool., xii, 396) — build not extremely robust, palpus not shaggy- 
haired, forewing with SC 1 ' 2 coincident throughout. The absence of tongue 
and the short antenna, with very long pectinations, show thatdt does not 
belong to Hemerophila. 
Ligdia pectinicornis , n. sp. 
cj, 25 mm. Head, palpus, and antenna brown, palpus pale beneath. 
Antenna bipectinate to near apex with moderate branches. Thorax above
