Abstract
The final-instar larva and pupa of the South African Syntomini species Epitoxis namaqua de Freina & Mey are described and illustrated, and the life history of the species from egg to adult is illustrated. Notes are given on the habitats, host-plants and distribution of the species. Photographs are provided of the holo- and paratypes and of the male genitalia and antennae in comparison with those of E. amazoula (Boisduval, 1847), the type species of Epitoxis Wallengren (1863).
