Hind wing triangular, with the costa gently and the termen and inner 
margin well rounded ; apex and tornus well rounded ; la rather long 
and straight ; lb straight ; 2 from § lower median ; 3 and 4 from lower 
angle, stalked or from a point or somewhat apart (in some species rather 
far apart, but never farther from 4 than 4 is from 5),* and in that case 
4 always from lower angle ; 5 from about ^ discocellular, which is some- 
what angled at §, and rather faint ; cell about J of wing ; 6 and 7 on a 
stalk of of 6 and from upper angle ; 8 curved to upper median at but 
not anastomosing with it. 
Prof. A. Spuler, in “ Schmett. Eur. Bnd.,” I, p. 129, states that in 
Lcelia vein 10 of fore wing comes from the upper median and is free, while 
9 should then come from the upper part of the areole. This is certainly 
not the case in any South African species, and I have no specimens of 
the type of the genus to investigate this point. Sir Hampson and 
E. Meyrick, however, state that vein 10 is as in Dasychira , and this agrees 
with my own observation. 
For further comparison of this genus with Dasychira, see under that 
genus. 
The following species I removed from this genus : testatia and sericea, 
which I bring in Cropera, as they both have vein 3 of hind wing farther 
from 4 than 4 is from 5 ; moreover, 6 and 7 are on a very short stalk 
and 8 does not touch the upper median, but just approaches it at J ; 
adspersa I bring in Crorema (see there).

from a point.
