CALPIFORMIS; SYRRUSIS; DIPAROPSIS; SCOPARIOPSIS. By M. Gaede. 
rosacea. Coil. rosacca Saalm. (8 f). Coloured like alambiea. The dark median area somewhat more undulately 
defined, tapering from vein 1 towards the inner margin. Submarginal line not different. Hindwing ($) more 
brownish at the margin. 32 mm. Madagascar. 
vialagasa. Coil. malagasa Gaede (— triangulata Kenr.) (8f). Thorax as dark as the median area of the forewdng. 
The two maculae very light, somewdiat more separated. The triangular median area is more broadly edged 
with w'hite, this marginal line running somewRat inw^ards at the median vein. The fine straight submarginal 
line is liroadly edged with dark. Hindwing brownish white. (J 30 mm. Madagascar. 
viiaor. Con. minor Holl. (8g). Pinkish-browm. The reniform macula toriches the ring-macula only with a 
point. The lines are pink. Two oblique lines at the base, edged dark. Interior line rectangularly bent. Ex¬ 
terior line slightly bent, submarginal line as straight as the distal margin. Hindwing white, only the fringe 
darker. $ 30 mm. Cape Colony, East Africa. 
chiisigna. CoH. cinisigna Joan. (8 g) is somewhat more reddish than malagasa. A dark blotch below' the cell near 
the base. Interior and exterior lines fine, doid>le, distantly separated at the inner margin. The two maculae 
as in malagasa. Between them very dark, below' them somewdiat dark as far as the submedian fold. Sub¬ 
marginal line and hindwing as in malagasa. 32—40 mm. Cameroons, Cape Colony, Mauritius. 
14. Genus : Calpiformis Hmps. 
Palpi and jiroboscis normal. Antennae of G serrate. Thorax with parted tufts in front and behind. 
Abdomen only at the base with a large tuft. Vein 5 of hindwdng from the middle of the cross-vein. 
craiishayi. Cal. craushayi Hmps. (8 g). Rusty brow'ii w'ith light places on the forewdng. Lines red-brow-n. Interior 
and exterior lines double, filled with w'hitish. Coniform and ring-macula small, edged with red-brown, white 
inside; reniform macula behind wdth a dark browm spot; an oblique line extends from it to the inner margin. 
Submarginal line light, similar to the exterior line. Hindwdng reddish-brow'ii. d 26—30 mm. South Africa. 
15. Genus: Syrrusis Hmps. 
Proboscis and jialpi normal. Antennae of d finely ciliated in tufts. Prothorax with a short tuft, meta¬ 
thorax wdth a large tuft, abdomen w'ithout tufts. Til)iae densely scaled, tarsi also scaled at the ring-edges. 
Vein 5 of hindwing from the middle of the cross-vein. 
notahUls. Syr. notabilis Bilr. (8g). Thorax dark brown w'ith a grey gloss, abdomen pinkish-yellow'. Basal area 
of forew'ing like the thorax, somewhat orange at the inner margin. Interior line orange, broadly edged dark 
outside. Median area pale pinkish-yellow, more pink before the exterior line. The reniform macula is bordered 
inside by a flesh-coloured line. A wdiite line from the costal margin aroimd the reniform macula to the interior 
line, the space below the cell also flesh-coloured. Exterior line dark red-browur, undidate, double; 2 less distinct 
lines behind it. Hindw'ing yellowdsh-w'hite. ^ 38 mm. Madagascar. 
16. Genus: l>i]>aropsis Hmps. 
Proboscis stunted, palpi w'ithout hair, long, thin. Antennae of G with short double pectinations. Meta¬ 
thorax with a tuft, abdomen tiiftless. Frons with a horny plate. Veins as hitherto, l)ut vein 8 of hindw'ing 
united with the cell almost to the middle. Type: castanea Hmps. 
casianea. Dip. castanea Hmps. (8 g). Thorax and basal area of forew'ing dark olive brow'ii. Basal area bordered 
by a light line Avhich is incurved at the inner margin. Exterior and submarginal lines light, almost parallel, 
somewhat darker betw'een. Hindw'ing w'hite, somewhat reddish at the margin. Forewdng of $ more reddish. 
The larva is injurious to cotton. 26—28 mm. South Africa, Uganda. 
iephra- Dip. tcphragramma B.-Bak. Thorax and forewing jmle pinkish-brown. A dark grey triangidar basal 
gramma, spot in the cell and the sidAinedian fold. Exterior line pale, shaped as in castanea; before it an irregular grey 
line, behind it a dark grey band. Hindwing creamy white. 30 mm. West Africa. The species may be identical 
with a specimen determined as castanea from Togo in the Berlin Museum, in which the border of the basal area 
is more rectilinear, so that it looks triangidar. 
17. Genus: ^eopariopsiis Bird. 
Proboscis normal, the last palpal joint somewhat longer than in Diparopsis. Frons somew'hat protu¬ 
berant, but withoAit an appendage. Antennae also in the d only finely ciliated. Metathorax with a hair-tuft. 
Areole longer and narrower than in Diparopsis . Vein 6 not from the areole. Vein 8 of hindw'ing arises only 
shortly before the middle from the cell. Type: viridigrisea Strd.
