iirgcnii- E. argetitilinea n. sp. (7 e). Thorax and forewing pale red-brown, abdomen lighter red-brown. Eore- 
huca. wing ^vitb two ecpially jn-ojecting notches of the interior line in the snhmedian fold and below vein 1, dark 
red-brown, inside pinkish-white, qnite indistinctly double. A red-brown patch above the base of vein 2 obli- 
cpiely inwards to the costal margin. A nniformly strong silvery line from the cell above the base of vein 3 to 
3 mm distant from the tips of the fringe. An exterior line or a snhmarginal line are not visible in the only spe¬ 
cimen. Hindwing white, somewhat brown at the margin. (J 38 mm. Volcano of Kiwu. 
■pallidisfrht. E. pallidistria FIdr. (7 e). Body greyish-brown. Forewing violettish-grey. A rusty brown stripe below 
the cell as far as the base of vein 2 with a black line below it. A rusty brown band from the cell-end above 
vein 4 to the distal margin, and a white stri23e above it. Three black dots in the upper part of the cell. An 
exterior row of dots at veins 1—3. Hindwing whitish, broadly brown at the margin. 44—46 mm. Cape 
Colony, Basnto Land, Transvaal. 
pyrosirufa. E. pyrostrota Hvips. (7 d). Body brownish white. Forewing pale yellow; the cell, the space close be¬ 
hind and below it as far as vein 2 fiery red, greyish-white below the cross-vein. Median vein with a long black 
streak, brown radial streaks in the marginal area. Three black dots in the upper cell-end. Hindwing white, 
brown at the margin. 42 mm. Transvaal. 
riif iccps. E. ruficeps Hm.ps. (7 e). Thorax greyish-brown, abdomen brownish ochreous. Forewing greyish-brown. 
Somewhat red-brown in the cell, more intensely red-brown below the cell as far as the base of vein 2, and 
below this a pale yellow stripe. Traces of 3 black dots at the upper cell-margin. Traces of a dark undulate 
exterior line. Hind wing whitish, brown at the margin. $ 38 mm. Madagascar. 
chnjsotu. E. chrysota Hmps. (7 f). Thorax grey, abdomen brownish white. Forewing violet greyish-brown. Costal 
margin pale yellow, brownish near the apex. The cell and below it as far as the base of vein 2 red-brown, a 
yellow curved band below it is a little more distant from the base than in ruficeps. The 3 black dots at the 
upper cell-margin. Hindwing white, brown at the margin. 36—38 mm. East and South Africa. 
4. Genus: llliocloeliJaeusi Hmps. 
Proboscis feeble. Palpi porrect, long-haired. Prothorax and metathorax with a feeble tuft, abdomen 
tiiftless. Antennae of $ serrate. 'Forewing somewhat undulate at the margin. 
hoionga. Rh. botonga Fldr. (= penmbra Hmps.) (7 f). Thorax chestnut-brown, abdomen greyish-brown. Fore- 
wing light chestnut-brown. A dark brown oblique band at the base. Interior line black, somewhat undulate, 
obliquely outwards. Ring-macula and reniform macula narrow, nut-brown and white, edged with black, fused 
below the cell, surrounded by dark red-brown. Exterior line black, S-shaped, edged with dark inside. Sub- 
marginal line light, with dark triangles inside. Hindwing greyish-brown, lighter at the base. $ 30 mm. 
Cape Colony. 
runcifera. Rh. cutieifera Hmps. Somewhat similar to U. schaeferi, and perhaps belonging to Ulochlaena owing to 
the ]3ectinate antennae of the Body and forewing dark red-brown, the median area still dark except at the 
costal margin. Interior line indistinct, double, filled with rusty red, from the costal margin obliquely to the 
lower cell-margin, then vertical. Ring-macula and reniform macula rusty red, edged with white, open above, 
united into a somewhat H-shaped figure. Exterior line black, white outside, notched, slightly inserted in the 
submedian fold. SidDinarginal line marked by white lunae edged inside by black lunae. White marginal dots. 
Hindwing yellowish-white, reddish-brown at the margin, with a lunar spot and exterior line. 30 mm. Congo. 
5. Genus: l^eiicoelilaeiia Hmp)s. 
Proboscis small, palpi shorter than in Ehodochlaena. Antennae of cj long-combed in the typical palae- 
arctic species, short-combed in the only Ethiopian s])ecies. The scheme of markings of the other species corres- 
])onds altogether to that of botonga, but the Ethiopian species looks quite different. Type: fallax Stgr. 
irinota. L* trifiota H.-Schdff. (= ler;cogonia Hmpts.) (7 f). Thorax ochreous red-brown, abdomen pale red- 
broAvn. Forewing dark ochreous red-brown almost as far as the exterior line. Somewhat lighter yellow at the 
inner margin as far as the interior line in the (J, more intensely so in the A short white streak near the 
base of the cell. A somevdiat stronger streak at the median vein from vein 2 to the apex of the cross-vein, 
more or less split into 3 parts. The dark interior line is uniformly bent, inmning across the base of vein 2. Ex¬ 
terior line far outside, parallel to the distal margin, somewhat violet before and behind it. HindAving pale 
jhnkish-lAi’OAA’n AA’ith a feeble discal luna and an exterior line. 32—40 mm. Mashona Land, Natal. 
6. Genus: Ulochlaena Led. 
Proboscis absent, palpi short, long-haired beloAV. Antennae of ^ strongly pectinated to the tips in the 
type, ciliated in the Thorax densely haired. Costal margin of foreAAung slightly inserted. Type: liirta Hbn. 
from Europe.
