 and to the four following African species. They may be termed 

 sub-species, or the group may be divided into sub-groups, one of 

 which contains H. pseudoterpnaria and H. atienuans, another H. 

 crenaria and H. ruginaria, a third H. respondens and H. alterata, 

 and a fourth H. communicans, H. perfectaria, H. dispensata, and 

 H. dislenta.
