B. fissifascia Hmps. Thorax reddish ochreous, abdomen greyish-brown. Forewing pale brownish 
ochreous. A radial stripe through the cell is pale red-brown, continued to the distal margin below the apex. 
The middle part of the submedian fold also pale red-brown. The terminal half of the median vein intensely 
white, veins 3 and 4 finely white, a white oblique band from the apex. A submarginal black dot at vein 4. 
Hindwing whitish ochreous, brown at the margin. $ 40 mm. Lagos. 
B. operosa Saalm. (6 k). Body and forewing ochreous. A black streak below the base of the cell. The 
median vein and vein 4 white. A red-brown shadow below the median vein. A black dot in the lower cell-angle. 
Above vein 4 as far as the apex a triangular red-brown shadow' with an inserted margin above. An exterior 
row of dots is very indistinct. Hindwung white, diaphanoiis, somewhat brownish at the margin. 30 mm. 
Madagascar. 
B. citrinotata Hmps. (61). Thorax and forewing somewhat paler than in operosa, abdomen whitish, 
yellow' only at the end. The median vein fine white and on vein 4 white, but not to the margin as in operosa. 
A dark streak below- the cell and a dot at the cell-angle as usual. A triangular shadow from the apex is feebly 
fleveloped, but it extends also below' vein 4. Hindw'ing purely w'hite. 30 mm. East and South Africa. 
B. melanostrotoides Strd. $ ochreous. Median vein of forew-ing edged darker in front than behind. 
A deep black dot below' the cell before the base of vein 2, and a wLite dot in the lower cell-angle. An exterior 
row' of black dots is scarcely noticeable. The dark shadow from the apex inwards rectilinear and distinctly 
defined. Fringe dark. The ^ has a somewhat lighter marginal area, the white dot is bordered wdth black out¬ 
side, the white line on the median vein is more distinct. Otherwise similar to melanostrota. 28—32 mm. Upper 
Egypt. 
B. torrentium Guen. (= infima Wllgrn., prinna Saalm., baziyae Mdschl.) (6 1). Body and forew'ing 
ochreous, abdomen somewhat greyish-brow’n above. Forewing pale at the costal and inner margins. Veins 
fine W'hite, brown lines betw'een them. A short black basal ray below the cell and above the middle of the inner 
margin is rarely visible. Median vein very fine white. Faded rusty red in the cell-end and behind it. A fine 
black dot in the cell-end and sometimes a small triangular one behind it. Interior line sometimes marked by 
a dot in the submedian fold, exterior line mostly just as scantily developed. A pale band from the apex is 
noticeable in but one of innumerable specimens. Black marginal dots very small. Hindwing w'hite, darker 
at the margin. 30—32 mm. Madagascar, South and East Africa, Abyssinia. 
B. acrapex Hynps. (6 1). Thorax and forewing pale brow'iiish pink. Abdomen whitish ochreous. Veins 
of forew'ing fine white. A black dot at the cell-angle. Exterior row of dots complete. A faint dark shadow' 
from the apex. HindAving yellowish-white. $ 32 mm. East Africa. 
B. rosescens Hynps. Thorax pinkish-white, abdomen w'hitish ochreous. Forewing pink, whitish at the 
costal margin. A black dot at the lower cell-angle. Hindwing purely white. $ 35 mm. Rhodesia. 
B. nigrisparsa Hynps. (61). Thorax pale brownish ochreous, abdomen whitish ochreous. Forew'ing red¬ 
dish ochreous, dusted somewhat black. Median vein and base of vein 4 white. A slight dark shadow below' 
the median vein. A black cell-dot and an exterior row of dots. A faint triangular shadow below the apex. 
Hind wing purely Avhite. $ 38 mm. Cape Colony. 
B. metasarca Hynps. Thorax pale pinkish-brown, abdomen brownish ochreous. Forewing pinkish 
flesh-coloured. The cell and the space behind it as far as the exterior line olive brown. Below the cell as far 
as the submedian fold and at the middle of the inner margin olive brown. A white streak at the median 
vein and above vein 3. A strong black dot at the lower cell-angle. Exterior row normal. Veins of marginal 
area olive brown. A pale oblique band from the apex, edged dark above and below. Fringe pink and brown. 
The cell of the hindw'ing and the space behind it flesh-coloured pinkish-browm, costal margin and inner-mar¬ 
ginal area pale brow'nish ochreous. (^32 mm. Ashanti. 
B. phaeochroa Hynps. (6 1). Body and forewing pale greyish-brown, slightly suffused with violet, the 
veins somew'hat darker. A reddish-brown stripe on the median vein is bent up before the distal margin to the 
costal margin. A white spot at the lower cell-angle. Interior line marked by a few black dots. A black central 
spot in the cell. The exterior row of black dots is uniformly bent, almost fused into a line. Hindw'ing greyish- 
brow'n, lighter at the base. 34—36 mm. South Africa. 
B. confluens B.-Bak. Body whitish-grey. Forew'ing pale greyish ochreous. A pale brow'ii radial stripe 
through the cell and at vein 4 on to the distal margin. A similar triangular blotch above the anal angle, and 
a faded oblique blotch from the apex. Ring-macula and reniform macula pale, narrow, confluent, centred pale 
brown. Hindwing white, (d 30 mm. East Africa.
