SCHAUSIA. By Dr. K. Jordan. 
gladiaioria. S. gladiatoria Holl. (Ja). Almost coloured exactly as the (J of Aegocera trimeni Jialrms, but the white 
basal stripe of the forewings more pointed outwardly, the diseal band wider anteriorly, placed more distally, on 
the hindAvings the marginal border before the anal angle with faded, orange-coloured spot. Easy to distinguish 
from transiens by the Avhite frons. Sierra Leone; Ogove. 
confluens. S. confluetis Weym. (= darocana Druce) (4 b). Type of Paraegocera Hmps., with 3. segment of palpi 
somewhat longer, but otherAvise so closely agreeing in structure Avith Schnusia that it cannot very AA-ell be separa¬ 
ted. Antennae of the rather strongly clubbed, Avith blunt apex. Head and thorax broAAUiish-black, broadlj' 
marked Avith AAdiite; frons AAhite, abdomen orange, apex, especially beneath, black or spotted AA’itli black, on 
the proximal segments broAvn dorsal spots. ForeAAungs deep broAvn, marked AA’ith AAhite: in the entire basal half 
a large blotch deeply notched anteriorly and posteriorly; a small cellspot, a double discal patch, the margin 
and fringe AA-hite, the latter spotted AAdtli broAV'n. HindAAdngs orange, Avith black marginal border, gradually ta¬ 
pering posteriorly. Underneath also the foreAA'ing AAhite as far as the middle, Avitli broAAm cellspot and short 
yelloAv discal band, or -jh yelloAv Avitli AAdiitish cellspot and discal band. Coast Region of German and British 
East Africa. 
obryzos. S. obryzos Mah. (4 b). Distinguished by the triangular foreAA'ings having the outer margin about as 
long as the posterior margin, and by the pejuliar front tarsi of the (J. Erons of ^ so narroAv that the antennae 
almost touch, fore tarsi lengthened, segment 1 thick, 2—5 thin, 2 about 5 mm, the folloAA'ing 1^ mm. in 
length, beneath naked, Avith a lateral roAv of fine bristles; claAvs long and thin (Avith tooth); on the hind- 
AA'ing the loAver median neiwule cpiite close to the angle of the cell. Head and prothorax yelloAv and black, 
patagia grey, mottled Avith chestnut broAAui, abdomen and breast orange, the former base abovm at AAoth black 
median spots, at apex spotted Avith black both above and beneath. ForeAAdngs chestnut-broAAm, densely mottled 
AA'ith grey and yelloAv, AAdth a submedian, almost ovoid, white oblique spot and a AAhite, short transverse 
band touching the costal margin. HindAvings orange, AAdth very broad black terminal band, tapering behind. 
Under surface of foreAAdngs black, at the base narroAvly orange AAdth the spots above. HindAAdngs as 
above, AAdth a small AAdiite spot beyond the upper angle of the cell. Fringe of both AAings largely Avhite. Ma¬ 
dagascar. 
coryndoni. S. COryndoni Roths. (= separata Weym.) may be distinguished from ohryzos principally by the much 
narroAver terminal band of the hindAvings. — LuangAA-a River (Barotse Land) and German East Africa. 
triangularis. S. triangularis J/u.6. (—astrapeus Ho//.) (2 d). Tyj^e of Omphaloceps Hmps. Head, thorax and forewings 
deep chestnut-broAvn above, breast yelloAv; on the foreAAdngs a straight oblique band, on the hindAA'uig a large 
triangular area, reaching at the base the costal margin, AAdth the posterior margin almost parallel to the*ab- 
mariae. dominal margin of the Aving. All these markings yellow; only occasionally AAhite (ab. mariae Swink.). The rest 
of the hinclAAdng as AA^ell as the loAA^er side of the fore wing deep brown, base of foreAAdng and a cellspot yelloAv or 
yelloAAdsh-AAhite. Hind tibiae of AAdth a similar, though longer, crest than in Aegocera trimeni. — Came- 
roons, Gabun, Congo, LTganda. 
memnonia. S. memnonia Karsch (2 g). CojAies some species of Massaga. Black, Avith head, palpi and upper side of 
abdomen fulvous. ForeAvings narroAAq AAdth the nervures metallic in the outer half and, proximally to the apex 
of the cell, a perfectly straight AAhite band from costal margin to posterior angle. ForeAAdngs AA'ith AAdiite me¬ 
dian band, inwardly straight, outAvardly rounded. — From 8enegambia to Cameroon. 
cosmetica. S. cosmetica Karsch (2 g). The AAhite band on both Aiings much AAdder than in memnonia, on the fore¬ 
AAdngs more oblique, reaching the posterior margin a feAA’ mm. inAAurrds from the angle, on the foreAAdng the ter¬ 
minal band on the whole barely half as AAdde as the AAdiite median band. On the foreAving of the ^ an elongate 
area, ribbed transversely between costal nervure and margin; costal and upper subcostal veins curAdng doAA’ii 
as in Aegocera tripartita. — Cameroons, Congo. 
S. daria Druce. 3. segment of palpi as long as in Aegocera, the hindlegs equally rough as in Schausia', 
tibiae Avithout spines; frons of quite narroAv posteriorly. Black; thorax and frons marked AAdth AAdiite, 
palpi, fore and hind tibiae partially orange. AVings black, foreAvings AAdth a transverse patch near the base, a 
second one in the cell before its apex, and a transverse band on the disk, Avhite or yelloAA'; liindAAdngs cor¬ 
respondingly Avhite or yelloAAq resp. orange, Avith broad black border. Lbider surface almost as aboAm, AAdth the 
subbasal spot on the foreAAdng larger and the costal margin of the liindAAdngs black. — The species consists 
presumably of three geographical forms, but the available material is not sufficiently AA'ell preseiwed to decide 
daria. that question; thus Ave treat it as individually dichromatic: f. daria Druce {— dispar Kirby) (2 cl); ^ and $ 
triplagiata. marked with AAdiite; f. triplagiata Roths. ( = meraca Karsch) (2 cl), Aidtli the markings of the foreAAdngs pale yelloAv,
