1. Antemicae of long-combed to the tijDS, the third palpal joint long. 
U. sagittata Gaede (7 f). Thorax and forewing brownish-grey. The dark interior and exterior lines aagillala. 
strongly notched, similar to Cl. yvanii Dup. (Vol. 3, pi. 2 f). The exterior line is far incurved at vein 2 and 
almost touches the apex of the interior line, smaller notches at the other places. Distal margin slightly undu¬ 
late. Abdomen and hindwing slightly brownish, lighter at the base. The $ has a less strongly notched exterior 
line. 29 mm. South-West Africa. 
U. ferruginea Gaede. Antennae apparently somewhat shorter combed, but this may be due to its being jcrnujlnea. 
badly preserved. Colouring like that of sagittata. A dark short basal ray and the brown interior line as far 
as the median vein rather indistinct, directed inwards at the latter, then obliquely outwards, and from the 
submedian fold vertically to the inner margin. Exterior line from vein 7 obliquely outwards, from vein 5 pa¬ 
rallel to the inner margin, a small yellowish-white spot on the inside of the exterior line above vein 3. One 
somewhat larger spot each above veins 2 and 5. A dark short oblique line from the apex. Hindwing as in 
sagittata. C -6 mm. South-West Africa. 
U. schaeferi Gaede (7 f). Body as in the other species. Forewing light grey in the basal and marginal sckncferi. 
areas, darker, browner in the discal area. Interior border of the median area slightly extra-angular at the sidj- 
costal vein, below the median vein, and below vein 1. The exterior border almost parallel to the distal margin, 
angled at the veins, slightly inserted behind the cell. Ring-macula and reniform macula united to a somewhat 
H-shaped white spot, partly edged with dark outside. The median vein lighter from there inwards. The brown 
submarginal line strongly notched, distinct outside, faded inside. Fringe speckled. Hindwing of C ^vhitish, 
grey at the margin, darker in the $, fringe white. 28 mm. South-West Africa. — reducta Gaede is somewhat reduda. 
darker in the basal and marginal area of the forewing. The H-shaped marking only represented by 2 upper 
spots. The exterior border of the median area, from vein 4 to the costal margin, forms a distally o])en bow, 
whereby the angle behind the cell is abolished. The submarginal line is only marked by some spots. 29 mm. 
South-West Africa. 
U. fumea Hmps. (7 f). Body and forewing dark browmish-grey. Interior line black, somewhat faded, fumea. 
somewhat extra-angiilar in the submedian fold. The reniform macula is a small black luna. Exterior line 
somewhat faded, finely dentate, uniformly bent, more inwards only towards the inner margin. Hindwing pale 
greyish-brown. 29 mm. Cape Colony. 
7. Genus: Cliariclea Gimi. 
Proboscis normal, palpi short, long-haired below. Antennae bipcctinate. Thorax scaled, with a feeble 
tuft in front and behind. Abdomen with a hair-tuft at the base. Vein 5 of hindwing arises a little below the 
centre of the cross-vein. 
Ch. elegantissima Guen. (7 g). Thorax greyish-brown, abdomen whitish brown. Forewing greyish- etegan- 
violet and pink. Olive green spots below the base of the cell, partly edged with white. A black dot in the tissima. 
cell before the interior line. Interior line fine, double, brown, very obliquely to the middle of the inner margin, 
where it meets the similar exterior line. Ring-macula and reniform macula united into a large V-shaped spot, 
olive green, its rounding black and white. Submarginal line composed of dentate black spots with white lunae. 
Hindwing white with a dark central luna, an exterior line, and a dark margin. C 36—40 mm. South Africa. 
8. Genus: £ctoeliela Hmps. 
Proboscis normal, palpi porrect, the third joint rather long. Antennae of C finely serrate and tufted. 
Anterior tibia with a bent claw outside at the end. Vein 5 of hindwing a little below the centre of the cross- 
vein. Type: canina Fldr. 
E. canina Fldr. (7 g). Body and forewing whitish-grey, dusted somewhat black. Median vein, besides canina. 
veins 7—5 and the beginnings of veins 4—2 sometimes black. A black streak below the base of the cell, in¬ 
terior line only present at the costal margin, or quite absent, black. The reniform macula is a black streak 
or luna. Exterior line marked by dots on the veins, parallel to the distal margin. The submarginal line is a 
faded dark band. Fringe speckled. Hindwing white, with or whithout a dark margin. $ darker on the thorax, 
abdomen browner, forewing more intensely dusted black, a faded black band below the cell. 
E. nigrilineata Gaede (7 g). Body as in canina. Interior area of forewing whitish or yellowish-white. )dgri- 
The median vein distinctly black, a variably distinct white line above it. Somewhat brownish below and be- lineaia. 
hind the cell. Vein 6 black, 4 and 5 only basally black. No luna at the cross-vein. Traces of a brownish oblique 
band from the apex. Veins in the marginal spot scarcely darker except at their ends. Interior and exterior 
lines absent. Hindwing white, broad dark at the margin, somewhat yellowish in the basal area of the 33 mm. 
South-West Africa.
