Review of the Genera. 
I. Antennae short, not or hardly reaching to the apex of the cell of the forewing. Antennal club short and 
quite straight, fusiform, at its tip obtuse or in the shape of a short cone. Third palpal joint short and 
almost hidden, but straightly porrect. Hinder tibiae normal with 4 spurs. Wings without hyaline 
spots. 
A. Vein 11 of the forewing entirely separated from vein 12. 
a. Palpi roughly scaled, but without long black hair. Last joint short. 1. Ampittia. 
(3. Palpi clothed with long black bristly hairs; last joint longer, straightly porrect. 2. Teteropteru-s. 
B. Vein 11 of the forewing more or less united with vein 12; the area 11 is thereby externally closed. 
3. Cyclopides. 
II. Antennae long, reaching to or projecting beyond the apex of the cell of the forewing. Antennal club more 
elongate and extended into a sharp, more or less bent down point. Vein 11 of the forewing runs separately. 
A. Hinder tibiae with 4 spurs. 
a. Third palpal joint very long and thin, erect or slantingly pointed sidewards, ,,bare“ and very pointed. 
*. Both wings above for the greatest part yellow or at least with yellow spots. 4. Oxypalpus. 
5. Heinorhinus. 
**. Wings above uni-coloured black or with small white spots. 
1. Fringes of the hindwings and the apex of the abdomen dark. 6. Prosopalpus. 
2. Fringes of the hindwings and the apex of the abdomen white. 7. Acleros. 
[3. Third palpal joint short or nroderatley long, scaled and coniform. Wings above black with white 
hyaline spots. 
*. Third palpal joint long, thick, almost cylindrical, horizontally porrect or somewhat pendant. 
1. Hindwing beneath for the greatest part white. 8. Hypoleucis. 
2. Hindwing beneath only with white hyaline spots. 9. Gorgyra. 
**. Third palpal joint short, knob-shaped, not horizontally porrect. 
B. Hinder tibiae only with 2 spurs. (According to Mabille). 
a. First joint of hinder tarsi in the J strongly inflated. 
[3. Hinder tarsi not inflated. 
10. Oedaloneura. 
11. Gastrochaeta. 
12. Malaza. 
13, Manorina. 
1. Genus: Ampittia Moore. 
The genus has already been described in Vol. IX. A. lynx Mschlr. which was described as a questionable 
African species, certainly originates from Asia and is probably identical with maroides De Nicev. 
Review of the Species. 
A. Hindwing above in the centre with a large yellow or white area and only at the margins, at least at 
the costal margin, black. 
a. Hindwing above black all round (at the costal margin, distal margin, hind-margin and base). 
*. The yellow spot in the discal cell of the forewing above is united with the discal spots 1 b to 4 and 
with a longitudinal stripe in the basal half of the costal margin, forming a large, irregular, yellow 
area. A. cor oiler. 
**. The discal spots of the forewing are entirely separated from the spot of the discal cell. 
§. The yellow spot of the hindwing above is situate behind the apex of the discal cell. The base 
of the wing and the discal cell are therefore quite black. Small species, expanse about 20 mm. 
A. parva.
