T. rema Drc. (4 e). On the forewing it is somewhat similar to the jjrececling species. Thorax chocolate remn. 
brown, abdomen golden yellow. Forewing white at the costal margin as far as l)eyond the centre. Light green 
below the cell and at its exterior margin. A double exterior line from the sidiinedian fold to the inner margin 
is chocolate, filled with green. A white streak at the cross-vein, one white dot each in the cell and at the base 
of vein 2, besides some others at the median vein. Exterior hand chocolate, a black dot behind it at the costal 
margin. The undulate sid)niarginal line is white, edged with brown outside, marginal area white. Hindwing 
golden yellow. A small brown streak at the end of vein 1, and a brownish red spot above it. $ 38 mm.' East 
Africa. 
T. cyanopasta Hmps. (4 e). Thorax blackish-brown, abdomen orange with black tufts. Forewing dark cijawqiaftla. 
chocolate with silvery blue scales. The base at the inner margin blackish-brown. The interior line extends 
as a black streak from the costal margin to the median vein, and an undulate median line from the submedian 
fold to the inner margin. Blue spots, intensely edged with black, in the cell-end and at the cross-vein. Ex¬ 
terior line black, strongly dentate, edged with blue outside. Hindwing orange with a blackish-brown marginal 
band. ^ 42 mm. East Africa. 
T. rufodiscalis Bothsch. (4 e). Thorax blackish-brown, abdomen orange, with black dots on the dorsum, rnfo- 
Forewing deep chocolate with silvery blue scales. An exterior and a submarginal line also formed of such scales. di.‘fralis. 
White dots at the margin, a larger one at the anal angle. Hindwing orange red, cross-vein broad black, mar¬ 
ginal band very broad. TO mm. Madagascar. 
23. Genus: Acaiituerta Hmps. 
Antennae of 3' somewhat thickened towards the ends. The third palpal joint is somewhat longer than 
in Tuerta and flattened at the end. Abdomen with tufts only on the two fii'st segments. Middle and posterior 
tibiae spined. 
A. ladina Jord. resembles thomenis Jord. (4 d) which ought also to be placed to this genus. Forewing lad'uia. 
with one leaden line each in the centre of the cell, at the cross-vein, and behind it. A leaden line from the 
cross-vein to the inner margin. Hindwing orange, the black marginal band is 5 mm broad in front, 3 mm at 
the end, not continued at the inner margin. ^ 45 mm. Lado. 
24. Genus: Aletopus Jord. 
Wings shorter, otherwise similar to Weymeria. The frontal jjrocess similar to that of Aegocera, but 
with a short sharp dent. Tibiae without long hair, without spines on the middle and j^osterior tibiae. Fore¬ 
wing: vein 3 arises farther off from 4 than the latter from vein 5. Hindwing: veins 6 -p 7 stalked. 
A. iniperialis Jord. Antennae, legs and body black. Each abdominal segment exhibits two white sj)ots imperials. 
laterally, the last segment a spot above besides; the legs also with white dots. Forewing red-brown at the base, 
at the costal margin 8 mm broad red-brown, at the inner margin 12 mm, obliquely arched between them. The 
rest of the forewing is black, containing a white band from near the costal margin over the cross-vein to below 
vein 2; it is straight inside, bent outside, 3 mm broad in front, 5 mm at vein 4. Besides a roiind s^jot towards 
the anal angle. Hindwing carmine Avdth a black marginal band containing 5 white spots. The band is 5 mm 
broad in front. Fringes of both 'wings white at the apex. ^ 45 mm. Tanganyika District. 
25. Genus: Ijopliouoticlia Hmps. 
Palpi erect, reaching the frons which shows a triangular projection. Antennae slightly thickened at 
the ends. Tibiae with long haii'. Abdomen with large hair-tufts on the 3 first segments above, the A also with 
lateral tufts at the base. Neuration normal. 
L. nocturna Hmyis. (4 h). Thorax dark red-brown. Abdomen blackish with red-brown tufts, some white nociuma. 
scales at the end. Forewing dark red-brown. Interior line olive green, composed of two bows, with silveiw 
blue scales inside. A silvery spot edged with olive green is in the centre of the cell. An olive green sjjot at the 
cross-vein, before and behind it. An exterior line from vein 3 to the inner margin. A white hand from of 
the costal margin to the anal angle, with olive green and brown scales. Hindwing black with a large white 
central spot, dusted brown. ^ 45 mm. East Africa. 
26. Genus: Mimeiisemia Btlr. 
Hampson places also an Ethiopian species to this ^Durely Indo-Australian genus which was treated 
in Vol. XI, p. 16; he is presumably wrong; according to Joicey <4- Talbot it is more allied to ChariUnea TTFr. 
(p. 12). Yet we range it here, as nothing certain can be said about it. Hampson takes geroldi and albigutta 
to be identical, which is probably not correct.
