Underside paler, with the cell-spots marked, hut otlier markings iiiili^tinct. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous with wings. 

 Expanse of wings : 3o mm.

These (wo genera are identical. Triiirora was proposed in lii-ii nf Ili-.cerlx 

 Saalm.. which was preoccupied, for trizonata Saalm., of which I had seen only cJJ. 

 Both sjiecies of Procypha were described from ? ? ; but now that I have seen the 

 cJ of P. niacidoaata, I have no doubt about the identity of the genera. 



95. Procypha maculosata Warr. 



The (?(^ are smaller than the ? ? ; two examples, received from Ihili.-h Kast 

 Africa, taken in March 1901, by Doherty, expand 41 mm. and 4.5 mm.; both are 

 more clearly marked than the ? from the Cape, especially in the hindwings, which 

 have two distinct transverse lines, internally diffusely shaded, anteniedian and 

 postmedian; in the forewings the second of the black submarginal spots is followed 

 externally by a clear white one. The undersides are a mixture of yellow, fulvous, and 

 lilac-grey, all thickly blackish speckled.

I find tliat the species described by nie as Psiloa-red apicata (Nov. ZooL. IV. 

 p. 98), is identical with jjidverosa. the type of my genus Hiipud iniiia. the difi'erence 

 being one of colour only. The spinose tibiae by which the genus Acanihoscelis 

 is characterised are found also in pulverosa and several other species now to be 

 described, so that, notwithstanding the varying outlines of the wings, I am disposed 

 to refer them all to the genus Psilocerea 8aalm. In any case the name 

 Acanthoscelis must sink, having already been employed twice, first by Dejean 

 (1825) for a genus of Coleoptera, and again in later times by Hulst, Tr. Avi. Ent. Sac. 

 1896, for a genus of North American Geometrids. 



96. Psilocerea fulva sp. nov. 



Fai-eivivgs: pale fulvous, deepening towards hindmargin, which is also slightly 

 rosy-tinged; basal line barely indicated ; outer line broadly olive-ljrown, paler-edged 

 externally, from beyond middle of inner margin straight towards apex, before which 

 it is bluntly and obsoletely recurved to costa ; no distinct mark, but only a few grey 

 scales close before ajjex ; fringe rather darker; cell-spot black. ' 



Hindwings: similar; costal margin broadly whitish; the transverse line ante- 

 median ; tbe anal angle clouded with darker. 



Underside jialer; fringes darker ; oblique line of forewings narrow. Face, tiiorax, 

 and abdomen bright fulvous; vertex and antennal shaft snow-white; the fillet grey.
