E. albilunata Gaede (= dasoplirys Tams) (7 g). Body as in canina. Anterior half of forewing greyish- 
white. Median vein fine black, bordered with white above. Pale brown below it as far as the apex and at the 
distal margin. Greyish-white again at the inner margin. Veins almost white in the marginal area. White mar¬ 
ginal spots at the anal angle, above veins 4 and 5. Black marginal dots between the veins. Interior and ex¬ 
terior lines composed of black dots. Traces of 1 brown angular spot each on both sides of the cross-vein. One 
white Inna each above the bases of veins 2 and 3. Hindwing as in nigrilineata. 35 mm. South-West Africa, 
Gape Colony. 
E. flavilunata Gaede (7 g). Body of $ somewhat darker than in the preceding species. Forevdng with 
a white median vein and streak above vein 5, the costal-marginal area greyish-white, somewhat more brownish 
at the costal margin itself. A small white, dark-centred Inna at the cross-vein. One yellowish Inna each above 
the bases of veins 2 and 3. A broad blackish-brown stripe below the cell, more narrowly continued at vein 5, 
and then to the apex. Inner margin and upper half of distal margin bluish-grey, brownish at the anal angle. 
Veins partly somewhat white in the distal area, black lines between them, thickened at the margin, extending 
far inwards. By mistake, the veins are stated to be black in the original description. The exterior row of dots 
begins at vein 6 with a stronger black dot, besides a black dot behind the cross-vein. i Hindwing yellovdsh white 
at the base, the rest brownish. $ 39 mm. South-IVest Africa. 
E. rosei'thicta Gaede (7 h). Thorax greyish-brown, abdomen light brown. Forewing j^ellowish white as 
far as the lower margin of the cell, then above vein 5 to the apex. A rather distinct dark brown stripe below 
the cell as far as the base of vein 2 , continued paler to the apex. A white 8 -shaped spot at the cross-vein, 2 
small black spots before it, a larger one behind it. Black spots above the bases of veins 2 to 4, surrounded 
inside by a somewhat reddish shine. A black line above the inner margin, yellowish-white above it. The veins 
in the marginal area light, black lines between them. A line being white above, black beneath is above vein 5, 
a less distinct one above vein 6 . Hindwing of G white, with a narrow pale brown margin. The $ is every¬ 
where more intensely brownish. 38—42 mm. South-West Africa. 
A. aberrans Gaede (7 h) is quite different. Thorax greyish-brown, abdomen lighter. Forewing greyish- 
brown. A yellowish-white streak at the cross-vein replaces the reniform mac\da. A blackish spot basad to 
it, then a hazy brightening instead of the ring-macula. An oblong whitish spot below the base of vein 3, a more 
extinct one below vein 2. Interior line very indistinct, dark, extra-angular as far as the centre of the cell, 
then vertical to ^ 3 of the inner margin. Exterior line distinct, inserted behind the cell, distally angled at veins 
4 and 1. Submarginal band dark, faded. Black marginal dots between the veins. Hindwing white at the base, 
the rest pale brown. $ 34 mm. South-West Africa. 
E. turner! Tams seems to differ in the absence of the white spots at the cross-vein and of their interior 
black border. The dark brown stripe below the cell is narrower. Cape Colony. 
9. Genus: CJaftVistis Hmps. 
Proboscis normal, palpi short, hairy below. Antennae of G very shortly bipectinated, serrated at the 
tips. Metathorax with a feeble tuft, abdomen tuftless. Neuration normal. 
C. ferrogrisea Hrnps. (7 f). Thorax dark grey, abdomen greyish-brown. Forewing dark grey, dusted 
red-brown. Interior line indistinct, oblique, undulate. The ring-macula is a small dark spot, the reniform ma- 
cida a dark luna. Exterior line blackish, rather indistinct. Submarginal line likewise dark and indistinct. Be¬ 
hind it black streaks at the margin. Hindwing pale reddish-brown, traces of a discal luna and an exterior line. 
26 —30 mm. Basutoland. 
10. Genus: Him. 
Proboscis and palpi as in Cafjristis. Thorax scaled, with feeble tufts in front and behind. Abdomen 
with short dorsal tufts and a hairy edge laterally. Neuration normal. Type: lichenea Film, from Europe. 
E. rubrimixta Hmps. (7 h). Thorax dark red-brown, abdomen lighter. Forewing red-brown. Interior 
line black, mrdulate, somewhat obliquely outwards. Coniform macula broad, short, edged with black. Ring- 
macula and reniform macula incomplete, edged with black, somewhat dark-centred, a dark spot between the 
two maculae. Traces of a dark undulate median line. Exterior line black, notched, distally bordered with a 
lighter red-brown. The submarginal line is a faded dark band, with pointed dark spots inside near the middle. 
Hindwing greyish-brown with a darker exterior line and marginal band. $ 35 mm. Transvaal. 
11. Genus: IRliizotype Hmps. 
Proboscis normal, palpi short. Thorax with a feeble tuft in front and behind. Abdomen with a series 
of dorsal tufts. Wings with an undulate distal margin. Vein 5 of hindwing arises a little below the middle of 
the cross-vein. Type: flammea Exp. from Europe.
