sema; the $ antenna is dentate, not pectinate. Underside similar, the forewing more orange-red than above.

has the venation and all the essential structure of Drepanogynis and — except in its broader wings — it would 
really not seem out of place in the neighbourhood of athroopsegma and hypoplea, though I assume that they 
have non-pectinate $ antenna, while rubidivenis has them distinctly (hut shortly) pectinate. Named from the 
characteristic coppery-red veins. Underside paler, the markings (except the antemedian) expressed, but more 
weakly than above. Karkloof, Natal. 
9. Genus: Derrioides Butl. 
Chiefly different from Drepanogynis in the tufted face, more hairy pectus, tegula and femora and in the 
pal])iis, which is of moderate length, densely clothed, in the typical species somewhat upturned. Antenna 
of the $ with very short. 2nd radial of the forewing arising well before (often much before) tlie middle of the 
discocelhdars. Type of the genus: hypenissa Bflr. 
D. cnephaeogramma sp. n. (13 c). More recalls Drepanogynis strigulosa than the other Derrioides, but cnephaeo- 
is readily distinguishable by the more robust build, more hairy vestiture, more approximated lines and other gramma. 
details. Palpus porrect. (Antennae lost). The copious dark-grey irroration of tlie forewing is in places united 
into short strigulae. Cell-dots distinct, though small; lines rather thick, the antemedian indistinct towards 
costa, the postmedian outbent between base of 2nd median vein and 2nd suhmedian. Hindwing greyer, with 
very faint indications of a pale postmedian. Forewing beneath less bright, more weakly marked, hindwing, on 
the contrary, a little brighter. Cape Town, September 1891, type B British Museiim. 
D. hypenissa Btlr. (13 c). Vinaceous brown, the forewing with dark cloudings and ])aler costa. The hypenissa. 
dark, pale-edged postmedian line continued on the hindwing. Underside more reddish, both wings coloured 
alike. Antennal shaft white. Natal and Pondoland. 
D. villaria Feld. (14 h). Close to hypenissa but larger, relatively longer-winged, the hairy clothing of villaria. 
thorax and femora perhaps a trifle stronger, hut certainly not enough to justify the separate generic name 
Eulasia Warr., which, moreover, is preoccupied. The originals come from Cape Town; the range extends to 
the Transvaal. Variable in colour, on the whole lighter or less clouded on both wings than hypenissa, but with 
some dark clouding in the tornal region of the hindwing generally more outstanding. 
10. Genus: Aspilatopisiis Warr. 
Distinguished from the preceding group chiefly by the B venation: 4th subcostal apjmrently coincident 
with the 3rd, not with the 5th; that is to say, the last subcostal runs to the distal margin, not to the apex. Face 
somewhat roughened or with a cone below. Palpus shortish. Antenna in the $ always (so far as yet known) 
definitely pectinate; pectinations in the d often long. Femora not hairy. Hindwing paler than forewing, 
more or less weakly marked. Perhaps merely a section of Sicyodes, generally recognizable by the strong, highly 
oblique postmedian line, which arises at or close to the apex of the forewing. Genotype; punctata Warr. 
A. gloriola Prout (14h). Very distinct in the shining yellow-green, finely ])ink-edged forewing, in- gloriola. 
complete, dentate-edged pink stripe and grey hindwing. Pal])us rather short. Transvaal (loc. typ.) and Natal. 
A. soni sp. n. (14 i). Closely related to gloriola. Pink markings on head and thorax less bright,the Ion- soni. 
gitudinal band of the thorax above only expressed by a posterior patch. The glossy forewing predominantly 
purplish-vinaceous, only behind the 2nd submedian deep olive-buff; the white line broader, contiimed across 
the wing; a much weaker inner line, excessively acutely angulated at end of cell. Hindwing darker grey than 
in gloriola, especially beneath. Vredendal, Cape Colony, end of Jidy 1927 (G. vax Son), the unique type in 
the Transvaal Museum. 
A. nipholibes sp. n. (14h) has the markings of typical Aspilatopsis but nearly the strong gloss of the nipholibcs. 
two preceding. Expanse 38—43 mm. Abdomen ])erha])s more slender than in the genotype. Antennal ])ectin- 
ations long. Variable in coloixr — light huffy-brown (the type), ochreous, or cinnamon-rufous to hazel — but 
pretty constant in markings. The slender snow-white lines which accompany both the dark ones and the acute 
angulation of the antemedian, with a narrow dark shade connecting it with the cell-spot, and usually the wi¬ 
dening of the postmedian are its most salient characters. The underside is also glossy and shows on both wings 
the lines of well-marked punctata, hut the postmedian is edged Avith Avhite; cell-dots distinct. Kastrol Nek,
