veins irregular light radial bands, those above vein 7 divided into 2 spots each. The white marginal spots are 
narrowly separated from them, in intervallata distantly separated. Hindwing pale brown, at the costal margin 
darker, in the cell and between the veins lighter. $ 42 mm. Cape Colony. 
The following species with a continuous or interrupted band from the base to the apex. 
G. albiplumis Warr. (80 c). Varying from olive grey to olive brown, scantily scaled, costal margin and albiplumis. 
cell somewhat darker. The light band at the base broader, irregularly bordered. Behind it 3 rows of indistinct 
dark spots between the veins. Marginal line dark, strong. Fringe lighter. Hindwing olive grey, with a marginal 
line as on the forewing. $ 30 mm. Cape Colony. 
G. annulosa n. sp. (80 b). Larger. Thorax and forewing red-brown. At the costal margin darker, annulosa. 
The band is composed of somewhat lighter, dark-centred spots. Above the base of vein 2 a larger, almost 
reniform spot. At the margin light semicircles between the veins, filled with the ground-colour. Abdomen and 
hindwing yellowish-brown, at the distal margin light red-brown. 38 mm. Transvaal. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
G. centaurica Meyr. Separated from annulosa by the marginal area. At the discal margin oblong spots centaurica. 
extending more or less to the principal band. Fringe lighter than ground-colour, spotted somewhat darker. 
On the hindwing the fringe and at the apex as dark as in annulosa, otherwise ochreous brown, q 42—44 mm. 
Natal. 
G. armillata Meyr. Body and wings ochreous brown. Forewing at the costal margin dark violettish- armillaia. 
brown. The principal band also violettish-brown, from the base through the centre of the wing to vein 6, then 
shortly upcurved. A similar spot above the centre of the inner margin, and small submarginal ones being 
slightly confluent. Fringe spotted dark, on the hindwing not spotted. <$ 45 mm. Natal.
