Separated from the ])receding geniis Ijy more slantingly erected palpi, as the frontal hump is smaller. 
Antennae of ciliated. Vein 5 of hijuRring from the middle of the cross-vein. Type: jordana Stdgr. 
C. connectens limps. (Id h). Greyish-brown and red-brown. Interior line represented by a short white 
arroAV in the sid^median fold, where it is connected with the exterior line by a dark blotch. Ring-macula and 
reniform macula connected as in some species of the genus Acronyctn,, of the reniform macula only the interior 
edge is })resent. Hindwing reddisli-brown. $ 2t> mm. Betchuana Land.

N. atripars Hmps. (Id b). Blackish-brown, with Irrownish ochreous streaks below the costal margin. 
Only the ring-macula is represented by a ring at the lower cell-angle. Exterior line oblique, somewhat undu¬ 
late, lighter behind it, somewliat lighter also at the inner margin. Sulrmarginal line only distinct at the apex. 
Hhrdrving pale reddish-brown. $ 25 nrm. Cape Colony.

Interior line finely black, oblicpie; a white blotch in the centre of the Aving from the interior line to the exterior 
line. Coniform macula indicated by black scales; ring-macula large, round; reniform macula edged black in¬ 
side and below, terminating outside into a large Avhite spot. Exterior line very convex at the costal margin, 
blackish. An oblique white spot from the apex to the exterior line, and one between veins 4 and 2; next to 
it and below A^ein 2 somewhat black. HindAving broAvn with black marginal streaks. 9 4d mm. Helagoa Bay.

Prothorax and metathorax Avith a larger tuft, smaller tufts on the abdomen in front. Neuration normal. Vein 
5 of hindAving beloAV the middle of the cross-vein. Type: castaneotmcta Hmps. 
T. castaiieotincta Hmps. (10 b). Violettish-grey, tinged Avith pink at the costal margin and base. In¬ 
terior line ])ale rusty red, Avhite inside. Ring-macula and reniform macula small, Avhite, edged Avith rusty red, 
the latter Avith a similar median streak. Exterior line indistinct, rusty red, Avhite inside, Avith blackish spots 
aboA^e the inner margin. Fringe pink. HindAving Avhite, lu’ownish at the margin. ^ 28 mm. Mashona Land. 
T. roseitincta Hmps. Light rusty red and pink, basal area beloAV the cell nut-broAvn, marginal area 
Avhitish, except at the interior angle. Interior line double, red-broAvn, filled Avith Avhite, grey only at the costal 
margin. Coniform macula extended to the cell, ring-macula and reniform macula close together; all 3 edged 
Avith red-broAvn. Exterior line doAible, red-broAvn, filled Avith greyish-Avhite, extending close at the reniform 
macula, someAvhat convex beloAV it, a large blackish-broAvn spot behind it beloAV Amin 2. Marginal dots black,

59. Genus: C«oi*tyiiocle.s B.-Bak. 
Proboscis absent, palpi projecting beyond frons. Antennae of A finely jieetinated. Prothorax and 
metathorax Avith a tAift, Imt abdomen Avithout it. Veins 3 -j- 4 of hindAving slightly stalked, 5 below the middle 
of the cross-vein. 
G. holophaea B.-Bak. Hark brown. Still darker in and l)eloAv the cell as far as the finely double ex¬ 
terior line. A someAvhat ])aler broAvn band through the centre of the cell, shar])ly angled outside. ReiAiform 
macula edged pale. Marginal line fine black. HindAving ])ale brown with a central hnia and an exterior band.

60. Genus: Copifroiitia Hmps. 
Proboscis normal. Paljii oblique, thin, rather long. Frons with a listel. Antennae of A with one roAv 
of serrations. Prothorax with a small tuft, a small edge behind it, abdomen Avith a l)asal tuft. As Amin 5 of 
hindAving is normally devmloped. it may belong rather to the Noctuinac.
