stalked, 1. and 2. median somewhat farther apart at the cell than at the termen. Genotype: Ch. renddlli. 
Approaches Schausia, from which it may be easily distinguished hy the frons and the longer cell in the tore- 
wing. 
Ch. rendalli. Black, with 2.—5. abdominal rings and the tuft on the 1. segment as well as two large 
spots on the pronotum, a series of spots on the underside of the abdomen, and the hindwings orange. 
Forewings black, with a large subbasal, a small cellular and a large discal patch paler yellow than the hindwing; 
all these markings orange beneath. In $ the 8. abdominal rhig with numerous stiff bristles, which are incurved. 
Two local races: rendalli Roths. (2 d) has on the hindwings the terminal band before the middle at least 3 nini. rendalli. 
wide, including the fringe; underneath the black space between the subbasal and discal patches on the forewing 
as broad as the discal patch itself, the latter rarely extending to below tlie 2. median. — British and German 
Nyassa Land. — angolana subsp. nov. has the yellow markings rather larger and paler, especially underneath; angolana. 
terminal band on the forewings before the middle at the most 3 mm in width; underneath the black space 
between subbasal and discal patches on the forewing rather narrower behind than in the following species, 
particularly in 9- — From Angola, Congo, numerous specimens of both subspecies. 
Ch. inclusa Karsch (2 e). Abdomen above black only at the very extremity, without any distinct inclusa. 
ring of spines on the eight ring. The yellow patches on the forewing larger than in rendalli. — Angola. 
18. Genus: Hes|>a|»’ar’ista Wicr. 
Antennae in both sexes thickened at the ends; frons with raised ring, very slightly narrower posteriorly 
in d'- Palpi almost evenly covered with hair, Avhich is long in rather short in $. Tibiae without spines. 
Hind tibiae also in moderately rough, a,nd the 1. segment of the hind tarsi devoid of long hair. In the fore¬ 
wings the cell longer than t!ie distance from the lower angle of the cell to the apex of the wmg, otherwise the 
venation as in Schausia. Abdomen of G with long anal tuft. 2 African species. 
H. echione Bsd. ( = interlecta Wkr., novemmaculata Mab.) (2 e). Black, head and thorax orange above, echione. 
abdomen and wings spotted with yellowish-white. On the forewings a few spotlets at the base, two spots in 
the cell, a large roundish blotch below it, and 3 patches before the termen, the two anterior ones close together, 
or touching one another proxinially. Hindwings with a large blotch in, below and beyond the cell, two small 
spots at its lower apex, and a dash before the abdominal margin. Specimens from Tropical East-Africa have 
these spots usually reduced in size, particularly in $ (ab. spilota nb. nov.) (2e as funebris). The most extreme spilota. 
form is 9 funebris Roths, which has only on the forewing a few traces of white markings. — From Natal to Bri- funebris. 
tish East-Africa. 
H. caudata Deiv. (2 e) has only pronotum and patagia orange. Forewings more rounded distally than in caudata. 
echione', apex less pointed, before the termen a row of 4—5 spots. Hindwings with broad, yellowish-white 
median band, which is intersected by more or less distinct black veins, greatly varies in width and usually 
encloses a fine discocellular lunule. — Angola. 
19. Genus: Aiiflrliippiirii^ Karsch. 
Frons broad, projecting so as to form a long, truncate appendage flattened beneath, with an almost 
reniform, raised ring. Antennae thin, not thickened even in 8*. Otherwise cpiite as Hespagarista', forewings 
with the cell shorter. 1 species. 
A. cauda-equioa Karsch {2 d). Body black and orange, abdomen black and banded with orange above, be- cauda- 
neath black with white spots. Forewings greyish-yellow above, feebly laved with pinkish; termen, a terminal band equina. 
tapering behind, the nervures in the outer half of the wing, a cellspot and, connected with it, a discocellular 
lunule, blackish fuscous, the latter two with pale centres. Hindwings orange, with black terminal band; fringe 
of both wings mottled white and black. Under surface of both wings orange, with terminal band black, fore¬ 
wings with a black patch composed of a cellular and discoiellular spot and prolonged posteriorly in the shape 
of a band; this is usually the case also above. — Southern Congo Region. 
20. Genus: Massaga Wkr. 
Frons broad, not narrowing posteriorly, with raised ring; palpi, legs and body with appressed hair and 
scales. Antennae distinctly thickened distally. In the forewing the 2. subcostal arising not at the secondary
