In Sphingidse one is reminded of home when catching Proto-
parce convolvuli or breeding Acherontia atropos, but the hawk-
moths are not common, Macroglossa trochilus being the most
abundant species. Among the day-flying Agaristidse Pais
decora frequents the bare veld, but in single examples; the
genus Xanthospilopteryx I only found in the wooded districts
of Pretoria. Another moth that frequents the open veld is
Deiopeapulchella, remarks on whose habits have been previously
made (ante p. 68). Petovia is a genus not often found, but its
species have a slow conspicuous flight, and I took P. dichroaria
flying in the busy streets of the town of Pretoria. Many moths
come to light which are not seen otherwise, and, when making
long coach-journeys, I have frequently boxed a good specimen
at the lamp which illuminated the frugal meal obtained at
the lone posting-house's on the bare and dreary veld. Even
Saturniidse come to light, as I found Urota sinope to do at
Durban.
In the identification of the Heterocera I have received much
assistance from Messrs. Butler, Kirby, and Warren at the
British Museum; and among the Micro-Lepidoptera, I have had
the great help of Lord Walsingham, and his Secretary, Mr. J.
Hartley Durrant, has described a new genus and species.
