has more faded markings. Ring-maciAla more slantingly edged outside and someAA’hat more remote from the 
narrower reniform macida. — pullomedia B.-Bak. has a slate-coloured ring-macula, the reniform macula and 
the hindAvings are all Avhite. 30—35 mm. East Africa. 
Eupl. azyga Hm.j)s. (8h) resembles a dark melanocycla. Thorax and foreAA'ing red-broAAn. Ring- 
macmla and reniform macida lighter, edged Avith black. Exterior band as in melanocycla. HindAving dark broAvn, 
Avith traces of a AA'hite dentate line. $ 34 mm. East Africa. 
Eupl. prolifera Wkr. Avas found in Natal, but probably only imported from Australia. 
7. Genus: Perigea Gmcw. 
The anterior thoracal tixft is larger than the posterior one. Abdomen Avith feeble tufts at the base. 
Tyjte: spicea Ouen. from India. 
1. Antennae of cj finely ciliated and tufted. 
Per. semiumbrosa Saalm. Thorax and foreAving dark reddish-broAvn. The basal area is lighter at the 
inner margin as far as the interior line which is Avhitish, very convex beloAV Amin 1. Coniform macula fine 
and narroAv. The light ring-macula is distinct, the costal margin above it also light. Reniform macula large, 
light, rather indistinct in the light sm-roAmdings, as the darkening extends only to the indistinct median line. 
Exterior line dmdile, formed of x’oaa's of black and Avhite dots. Submarginal line indistinct, almost its whole 
inside bordered AAith tiny dark spots. Abdomen and liindAving dark brown. — griseata Kenr. (8 c) is lighter, 
esjxecially in the basal area, before the ring-macula and also below the reniform macula. The bordering of the 
submarginal line is more irregxilar, interrupted betAveen Amins 3 and 6, othei’Avise Avith larger spots. — rubi- 
data Kenr. The light ground-colour is someAvhat reddened. The dark costal margin in the basal area is more 
intensely dark and bent doAvn to the base beloAv the cell. The darkening at the submarginal line is similar 
as in the tyijical form, but broader. Both the forms have a relatively lighter abdomen and hindAA ing. 35—40 mm. 
Aladagascar. 
2. Antennae of ^ ciliated. 
Per. quadrimacula Mah. Greyish-broAAui. ForeAving dusted dark. Darkened betAA-een the subbasal line 
and the dmdxle interior line at the costal margin. Coniform nxacula very large, finely edged Avith dark, the ring- 
macula indicated by dark edges. Reniform macula dark, Avith a blotch to the costal margin and a streak 
to the exterior line Avhich is dark broAAUi, undxdate, vertical to the inner margin. Slightly darker before the 
faded submarginal line, broader so only at the costal margin. Abdomen and hindAving similarly coloured, 
lighter at the base. 34 mm. Natal. 
Per. gypsina Hinps. Body and foreAving AA'hitish. Somewhat rusty broAAUi at the costal margin at the 
base and beloAA' the cell. The rusty broAA'u interior line is broad, triangular as far as the median Amin. Ring- 
macula and reniform macula composed of confluent Avhite spots partly bordered Avith rusty broAvn. A median 
stripe from the costal margin, bordered Avith Avhite on both sides. The exterior median area triangular dark 
as far as vein 2, from there a faded band to the distal margin. Exterior line composed of a double row 
of black dots. Behind it a narrowing stripe at the distal margin, beginning beloAV the costal margin, and 
black marginal dots. Hindwing broAvnish-Avhite, lighter at the base, with black marginal streaks, edged Avith 
AA'hite inside. 36 mm. Gold Coast. 
Per. grandircna Hmps. (8 c). Thorax and forewing greyish-broAvn, Avith a slight greenish shine. The 
interior line is a broad blackish-broAvn band, oblicpiely outAvards to tlie centre of the AAung, then onAAmrd as 
a fine line, a small spot before it at the costal margin. A large spot above the small light ring-macula at 
the costal margin. Reniform macula very large, finely edged Avith dark. Exterior line and submarginal line in¬ 
distinct, a broader dark band betAAmen them, dark marginal lunae behind them. Abdomen broAvnish ochreous, 
hindAving dark broAvn, lighter at the base, Avith fine black marginal lunae. Q 34 mm. Natal. 
Per. africana Schans (8c). Thorax and forcAA'ing dark red-broAvn. Subbasal and interior lines indicated 
by a feAv Avhite dots. Reniform niacxda someAvhat yelloAv iixside, this nxacxila aixd the ring-macxxla bordered 
Avith AA'hite dots, coniform macxxla fixxely edged Avith black. Exterior liixe mostly oxily nxarked by a Avhite spot 
at the inner xxxargixx, sxxbxnargiixal line forxned of a feAv ixiore ixxtexxse spots. Fixxe Avhite dots at the xixargiix. 
Abdoxnen aixd hiixdAving lighter, xnore reddish. 34—38 nxixi. Sierra Leoxxe, Camerooxxs, Natal, East Africa, Ma¬ 
dagascar. — glebosa Saalm., described as Dicmihoecia, nxay havm to be raixged here. Ring-macxxla axxd reniform 
macxxla all Avhite, sxxbbasal aixd interior lines almost unintexTupted. The tAVO other lines are only traceable at 
the inner margin. 36 mm. Madagascar. 
Per. capensis Guen. (= conducta Wkr., pauperata Wkr., inexacta IFAt., leonina HTt., aenea Saalm., 
meleagris Saalm.) (8c). The species occurs also in the Indian region, Axhere it has receiAmd some more names. 
Thorax and foreAving lighter or darker red-broAvn. Subbasal and interior lines yelloAvish-Avhite or extinct. Ring- 
macula light, centred dark, sometimes also Avith a light central dot. Coniform macula indicated by its dark 
ajxex, or absent. Reniform macula similar as in africana, or edged by an uninteri-upted light line. Exterior
