5, as well as the median vein and spots at the base of veins 2—4. Reniform macnla indicated by dark sides. 
The space below and behind the cell darker brown. Black streaks in the marginal area between the veins. Vein 
1 white, edged black on both sides. Hindwing whitish, margin broadly brownish. 42 mm. Cape (lolony. 
C. albiapicata Warr. (9 b) is similar. Median vein black. Reniform macuda grey, broarl, edgefl dark, alhidpi- 
The s])ace below and behind the cell violettish-brown. A white blotch from the a])ex to the n])])er cell-angle. 
Hindwing more intensely brown. It may be the $ of ossicolor. $ 36 mm. Cape Colony. 
C. fulvitincta Warr. (9 b). The light areas are greyer than in ossicolor. The dark areas below and be- fulrUhicta.

The two following species resemble each other. 
C. cretacea Warr. (9 c). Yellowish-white. Median vein at the base and sid^median fold black, light crefarea. 
olive brown between them. Reniform macida finely edged dark, olive brown patches from it to the apex are 
parted by the light veins. Interior line discernible, exterior line composed in front by dots, below vein 4 by 
a line. Hindwing with a broad margin, a dark spot at the base of veins 3 and 4. 42 mm. Caj^e Colony. 
C. argentea Warr. (9 c). Forewing slightly brownish. Reniform macula darker. Exterior line not den- argeniea. 
tate as in cretacea, but spotted. On its outside a dark band proceeding from the apex. Hindwing greyish-brown, 
lighter at the base. $ 44 mm. Bnshmanland. 
C. pallescens Warr. (9 c) differs in the pectinated antennae of the ^ and the other marking. Greyish imileacenn. 
ochreons, dusted dark. Median vein, vein 1 and the others at the margin yellowish ochreoiis. A small white 
spot above the base of vein 3, a larger one below it. Interior line grey, vertical; exterior line more distinct, 
dentate. vSnbmarginal line grey, faded. Hindwing greyish-yellow', hrowner at the margin, d" mm. Transvaal. 
40. Genus: Mimleiicaiiia Hm'ps. 
Proboscis and pal])i normal. Antennae of finely serrated or laminated. Thorax and abdomen without 
tiifts. Neuration normal. Vein 5 of hindwing below the middle of the cross-vein. Type: perstriata Hmps. 
M. leucosoma Fldr. (= graminicolens Btlr.) (9 c). Forewing dark violettish-brow'n, costal margin light, leurosoma. 
broadly w'hitish in the si;bmedian fold, and below' it a bent wdiite line near the base. Ring-macula small, dis¬ 
tinctly edged white. Reniform macula narrowly greyish-white. Exterior line somewhat angular at vein 5. 
The distinct white submarginal line w ith a large W. Behind it the double wdiite marginal line. Hindw ing ])urely 
white. Ground-colour of 9 somewhat more reddish. 32-—36 mm. South Africa, Madagascar. 
M. perstriata Hiups. (9 c). Brownish-white. A light stripe in the cell and as far as the a]iex. A distinct perstrinta. 
white line at the low'er cell-end, darker brown below' it, a dark triangle from that line to the margin, shorter 
streaks below' it. A distinct black basal line in the submedian fold. Interior and exterior lines scarcely tra¬ 
ceable at the inner margin. Hindw'ing wdiite, slightly brow'iiish at the margin. 30—33 mm. Transvaal. 
41. Genus: Amphiclriiia 
Proboscis normal, palpi extending almost to Irons. Thorax with a tuft in fiont and behind, abdomen 
tuftless. Neuration normal. Type; agrotina Sfdgr. from West Asia. 
1. Antennae of d with short double pectinations. 
A. pexicera Hmps. (9 d). Eorewing red-brown. Interior and exterior lines double, filled with white, pexicera. 
The ring-macula is a small black streak; reniform macnla small, more broadly edged with black inside. Sub¬ 
marginal line whitish, w'ith blackish-brow'ii sagittal spots inside. Hindwing brownish-white, d mm. Cape 
Colony. 
2. Antennae of d ciliated. 
A. glaucistis Hmps. (9 d). Forewdng white. Interior line black, undulate, obliquely outw'ards; before gkiKcistis. 
it almost to the base a black band which is absent in the type. A large black spot at the middle of the costal 
margin with a narrow^ prolongation to the inner margin, enclosing the reniform macula as a w'hite lunule. Ex¬ 
terior line fine black, somewhat angular behind the cell, more angular in the submedian fold. Blackish behind 
as far as the margin. Hindwing wdiite. 28—30 mm. South Africa.
