GALEEGA; CERAT RICH! A. By Dr. C. Aurivillius. 
15. Genus: Cialergii Mab. 
„The antennae are not half as long as the forewing; club oviform with a short tip turned down in 
an obtuse angle. Palpi porrect, bristly; the third joint is pointed, bare, slantingly porrect. Forewing: margin 
from the apex to vein 4 slanting, then in the opposite direction obliquely directed as far as the anal angle; 
vein 5 bent at its base and somewhat nearer at 4 than at 6; vein 3 near the anal angle and 2 from the centre 
of the cell. Hindwing: vein 2 rises outside of the centre of the cell and 3 close at the anal angle; 5 distinct. 
Hind tibiae with 4 spurs. The $ is without sexual distinctions.“ According to Mabille. The only species 
of this genus has remained unknown to me. 
G. hyposticta Mab. ,,Wings reddish black or with a slight purple lustre. Forewing with three small hypostid 
white subapical dots in a slanting line; in the centre three small reddish discal dots in 1 b to 3, that in 3 being 
very small or absent. Hindwing without markings and with equally coloured fringes. Forewing beneath dark 
brown, at the costal margin and apex reddish; a purely white spot at the costal margin at the centre of 
the cell and after it a row of 5 white spots, including the subapical dots of the upper surface; from the apex 
extends a row of violettish-grey spots; areas 1 a and 1 b grey; hindwing beneath with two violettish-grey 
transverse bands, one at the margin and one in the centre, between these bands and at the costal margin black; 
in area 6 two red spots.“ Madagascar. 
16. Genus: Ceratriclila Bth. 
The morphological marks of this genus are very insignificant. Antennal club long and thin with a long 
tip. Last palpal joint short and small, hidden by the scales of the second joint. Distal margin of forewing 
shorter than the anal margin. Vein 2 of the forewing rises much nearer at 3 than at the base of the wing. Vein 
5 of the hindwing feebly developed particularly inwards. Hind tibiae with 4 spurs. 
The species, however, are at once recognizable by the uncommon arrangement of the discal spots on 
both wings. These spots (often only occurring beneath) are nearing the margin and are at least in area 5 much 
nearer at the margin than at the apex of the discal cell; the areas 8 to 10 of the forewing generally show 
distinct discal spots near the costal margin. In addition all or at least some discal spots show lustrous silvery 
pupils. 
Review of the Species. 
A. Hindwing above uni-coloured blackish without spots or dots; beneath with a white ground-colour and 
dark marginal band. 
a. Forewing on both sides with white dots. The dark marginal band of the hindwing beneath at the proximal 
margin with silvery white, dark-ringed dots. 
*. The dark marginal band of the hindwing beneath ends pointed near the anal angle and is deeply 
indented in the centre (at vein 5). C. nothus. 
**. The dark marginal band of the hindwing beneath ends broad and transverse at vein 2 and is feebly 
convex towards the base. C. ialemia. 
[3. Forewing on both sides without white dots. C. brunnea. 
B. Hindwing above with a large yellow area or almost entirely yellow. 
a. The discal dot in area 7 of the forewing beneath is (in case it be present) situate close at the apex of 
the wiirg and much nearer at the margin than the discal dot in 6. 
*. Forewing above monotonously black with or without small white discal dots, and with one small 
white hyaline dot at most in the discal cell. C. phocion. 
**. Forewing above in the basal part light yellow or at least in the centre with a yellow transverse band, 
rarely in the $ almost uni-coloured black, but invariably with a yellow spot in the discal cell 
at least on the under surface. C. flava. 
(3. The discal dot in area 7 of the forewing is far remote from the apex of the wing and nearer at the 
discal cell than the discal spot in 6. 
*. Forewing beneath for the greatest part with a yellow ground-colour, only at the anal margin, in 
1 a, at the base and near the anal angle covered with blackish-brown. C. argyrosticta. 
**. The whole under surface of the forewing is blackish-brown with the usual yellow or white spots. 
C. aurea. 
The species of Ceratrichia can be divided into two easily discernible groups. In the first group which may be called 
the Phocion-group, the discal dot 7 of the forewing is situate near the apex of the wing, much nearer at the margin than the 
discal spot in 6, and it is placed with the dots in 8, 9, 10 in an almost straight line running nearly parallel to the costal margin.
