wards. Both are edged with light brownish ochre, filled with dark. The veins in the marginal area somewhat

exterior line, dark marginal lunae, edged with light inside. 40 mm. Cape Colony.

with a basal tuft. Wings entirely margined. Vein 5 of hindwing branches off below the centre. Antennae of

the middle of the cross-vein. Antennae serrate in the typical species. Type: templi Thunbg. from Europe.
