10 (6) Apex of valve very narrowly rounded, equal in width to tip of uncus. Aedeagus 



with thorn-like projection at two-thirds. Male hind tibia dilate with pencil 



of long hair-scales. Distribution. C. & W. Africa . . . sicula (p. 92)

with blunt, spatulate projection at two-thirds. Male hind tibia simple. 

 Distribution. Madagascar ....... oxybeles (p. 102) 



11 (5) Apex of valve rounded or truncate, apical margin densely scobinate in part 



or entirely (20-60 -J- spines) ......... 12 



- Apical margin of valve truncate, concave or convex, never with more than 



5-10 small, weak, thorn-like projections; apex of dorsal margin produced, 

 bluntly rounded or in beak-like form, inclined towards uncus and scobinate. 16 



12 (11) Apex of valve narrowly rounded (Text-fig. 128). Fulcrum smooth-edged, 



as broad as aedeagus, but not extending to its tip. Uncus bulbous in shape. 

 Male hind tibia grossly dilate with dense tuft of light buff hair-scales 



cinereata (p. 91) 



- Valve and fulcrum not so formed . . . . . . . . 13 



13 (12) Apical margin of valve broadly rounded, dorsal half coarsely scobinate; apical 



half of dorsal margin densely scobinate. Aedeagus with a short, almost 

 rectangular projection at two-thirds. Male hind tibia dilate with a pencil 

 of buff hair-scales ........ dyscapna (p. 89) 



- Dorsal margin of valve strongly sclerotized, but not scobinate . . . 14 



14 (13) Apex of valve obliquely truncate, apical margin densely scobinate (Text-fig. 118); 



dorsal process with slender, digitate, setose projection from basal fourth. 



Male hind tibia simple ........ episema (p. 87) 



- Apex of valve horizontally truncate or curved ; apical margin densely scobinate ; 



dorsal process broadly dilate and setose in basal third. Male hind tibia 

 dilate with dense pencil of hair-scales ....... 15

at one-half. Vesica with thorn-like cornutus .... radula (p. 90) 



16 (11) Aedeagus with a thorn-like or short, blunt projection from apical third or 



fourth; when the projection is thorn-like, the fulcrum is asymmetrical, with 

 a digitate projection midway along one side, and extends beyond tip of 

 aedeagus. Dorsal process of valve dilate and setose in basal fourth . . 17 



- Aedeagus with a finely tapered blade-like projection or with one or more 



acicular projections from apical third or fourth, one projection usually equal 

 in length to or longer than width of aedeagus; if shorter, then fulcrum 

 slender, symmetrical and not extending beyond tip of aedeagus. Dorsal 

 process of valve usually with distinct setose projection in basal fourth . 21
