IX. New Genera and Species of Striphnopterygidae and 
Lasiocampidae in the british Museum. Described by 
Cur. AURIVILLIUS. 
[Read November 16th, 1910.] 
Sir G. F. Hampson some time ago sent me a col- 
lection of African Striphnopterygidae and Lasiocampidae 
for identification. Among the species contained in the 
collection the following seem to be new to science. 
Figures of the Lasiocampidae will be published in my 
revision of the forms of that group occurring in the 
African region. I have to thank Sir G. F. Hampson 
for the figures of the Striphnopterygidae here published. 
Family STRIPHNOPTERYGIDAE. 
Cyrtojana, nov. gen. 
Proboscis aborted. Palpi porrect, hardly reaching beyond the 
frons, compressed, broadly fringed beneath with hairs, last joint 
moderately long, obtuse. Antennae reaching well beyond the apex 
of the cell, broadly bipectinate in the male. Fore tibiae unarmed, 
hind tibiae with apical spurs only. Abdomen of male reaching a 
little beyond tornus of hindwing. Wings broad, with the termen 
strongly and evenly arched ; costa of forewing straight, of hindwing 
slightly curved. Forewing with vein 3 from well before angle of 
cell, 4 from near angle of cell ; lower discocellular long and strongly 
angled near its upper end ; veins 5 and 6 nearly from the same 
point, well separated from the common stalk of 7, 8, and 9; 10 
absent (?), 11 free from the cell close to its apex. Hindwing with 
vein 3 from well before angle of cell, 4 from near angle ; lower disco- 
cellular very long, sharply angled near its upper end; middle 
discocellular very short, veins 5 and 6 nearly from the same point ; 
upper discocellular rather long and oblique ; vein 8 connected with 
the cell by a transverse bar before middle and thereafter closely 
approximated to the cell. 
The genus Cyrtojana is very nearly allied to Janomima, 
and seems only to differ by the short and broad form of 
the wings and the vein 8 of hindwing, which runs close 
to the cell and is connected with it by a bar.
