the median nervules, a second line from which black streaks radiate along the veins to the termen. Hinrl- 
wings rather paler than forewings, with a black snbmarginal line connected with the termen by black streaks 
upon the veins, the interspace completely filled with black toward the anal angle; a discocellular spot likeAvise 
black. Underneath the black markings somewhat reduced, the discal line on the forewings single. The wings 
lack the woolly hair distinguishing the preceding species; on the forewing the 2. subcostal not starting from the 
secondary cell, but stalked with 3 and 4. Frontal projection long, almost cylindrical, truncate, with raised 
terminal ring. — Bula Matenga (Angola), 1 in the Tring Museum. 
P. haemaplaga (4 a). Frontal appendage long, flattened, at the extremity scooped out and hi-7iaemapZai/a. 
fid, not as in pulchra trifid, with a transverse ledge projecting at the sides below it. Middle and hindtibiae provided 
with spines as in the preceding species. Abdomen ringed with yellow and black. Forewings dark reddish- 
fuscous above with yellow markings, such as a triangular subbasal blotch in the cell, a transverse band 
placed before the middle, reaching from costa to internal vein where it widens out, and a large discal patch 
growing narrower behind. Hinchvings yellow, bordered with black, on the border before the anal angle a yel¬ 
low, on the discocellular a small black lunule. Underside of the forewings largely yellow with black markings. 
From north-eastern Rhodesia, in the British Museum. Type of the genus Hojdarista Hmps. 
8. Genus: (Pseudospiris Btlr. 
Palpi porrect, but short. Frons with the edge raised to a sharp transverse ledge, the appendage conical, 
truncate, its extremity somewhat dentate beneath. Antennae short, somewhat thickened distally. Foretibia 
with a spine at the end, the spurs short, the 1. segment of the hindtarsus much shorter than the 1. segment 
of the front one. Forewing without or with very small secondary cell, the 1. radial stalked with the subcostal 
nervules 2—5 or 3—5, the first median rather far apart from the angle of the cell, but the 2. and 3. 
radials very close together; on the hindwing the costal vein confluescent with the cell distally as far as the 
middle of the cell or even farther; the subcostal nervule stalked with the 1. radial, the 2. median branching 
off at about the middle of the cell. The hindwing of the cj with very long fringe. 1 species. 
P. paidiformis Btlr. Body yellow, marked with black, abdomen ringed Avith black. ForeAvings pale paidiformis. 
yelloAv, Avith a rusty red transverse line in the basal area and the discus, betAveen Avhich a black cross-line, 
a figure 8, a somewdiat S-shaped, transversely prolonged discocellular rmg and a black cross-line; from the 
outer red line black intranerval stripes radiate to the termen. H’indwings rusty red, Avith blackish border and 
dark discocellular spot, in $ orange Avith black spot and black terminal band marked Avith orange spots. — 
Nyassa Land. 
9. Genus: i.'hoeFopais gen. nov. 
Palpi short; frons projected to form a long, truncate, proboscis-shaped appendage, about of ecpial 
width in both sexes. Antennae short, feebly thickened distally, AA'ith blunt apex. Tibiae almost smoothly sca- 
led, only the irriddle tibia of.fLe 8 * rough. Foi’etibia AAuthout apical spine, the spurs rather longer than in 
Pseudospiris, the inner sprne-'by about one half longer than the outer one, the 1 . segment of the hind- 
k tarsi but slightly shorter thaiij^the foretarsi. Forewings with a secondary cell, from Avhich the 2. subcostal 
arises, 3 and 4 shortly stalked, 1. radial from the cell, upper median from near the angle of the cell, loAA’er 
median rather nearer the base than in Pseudospiris. On the hincLving the costal Amin branching off from the 
cell at about subcostal and 1. radial stalked. HindAA'ing of J Avithout long fringe. 1 species. 
Ch. jucunda Jord. (3 f). d' ^od $ coloured and marked very much as P. paidiformis, but the outer jucunda. 
black line on the foreAAung and the accompanying red line S-shaped. — Angola. 
10, Genus: I*ais Hbn. 
Palpi projecting beyond frons, longer than in either of the tAVO preceding species, but much shor¬ 
ter than in Paida, the 3rd segment much shorter than the 2nd and rather roughly scaled, 2 and 3 clothed 
Avith long hair beneath. Frontal appendage truncate, the edge of the end-surface someAvhat projecting ventrally, 
the upper portion of the frons raised below the cone, Avith the anterior edge sharply marked. Antennae short, 
thickened distally. Hindtibiae rough, the 1. segment of the hindtarsi someAvhat longer than in the front one. 
On the forewing the 1. subcostal closer to the base than the loAver median, the 2. subcostal arising from the 
secondary cell, the upper median immediately before the angle of the cell. A purely African genus.
