margin. The median vein is white and so are veins 2—5 on two thirds of their length. Ring-macada edged 
white, somewhat prolonged at vein 2. Reniform macula large, edged white, with a white partition-line. The 
type shows the edge of the coniform macula indicated by white scales. The white submarginal line below the

$ brownish. Antennae of cJ and 2 shortly pectinated to the tips. 28—30 mm. East Africa. 
76. Genus: Ocliroealama Hmps. 
Proboscis stunted, palpi erect. Frons with a bicuspid hump. Antennae of strongly pectinated, 
ciliated in the P. Thorax and abdomen without hair-tufts. Vein 5 of hindwing a little below the middle of 
the cross-vein, 6 + 7 on a short stalk, 8 arises from Pj of the cell. 
C. xanthia Hmps. (10 e). Body rusty yellow. Forewing dark yellow. Median band rusty brown, in- xcmthia. 
distinctly bordered inside, somewhat extinct at the inner margin. Ring-macula and reniform macula large, 
dark yellowx A parallel dentate submarginal band behind the median band. Fringe speckled. Hindwing (q) 
])ale yellow with a central luna and a fine exterior line or ($) dark brown with lighter fringes. 28—-3.5 mm. 
East and South Africa. 
77. Genus: ^yiiealama Hmps. 
Similar to the preceding genus. Antennae of ^ only serrate. Abdomen with a tuft at the base. 
S. niimica Hmps. (TO e) resembles the preceding species in its colouring and marking. Coniform macida mimlca. 
large, edged black. The base darker tha,n in xanthia, the centre of the inner margin lighter. Ring-macula and 
reniform macula edged black, the latter open in front, compressed in the middle. Costal margin yellow, but 
the space as far as the submarginal line is brown. Hindwing yellowish-white. Botli wings with black mar¬ 
ginal streaks. 32 mm. Cape Colony. 
S. turneri Tams. Thorax dark brown, abdomen somewhat lighter. Forewing dark grey. Interior line, iurncri. 
ring-macula and reniform macula not distinctly defined. Exterior line liglit, edged dark outside, parallel to 
the distal margin as far as vein 2, then vertical to the inner margin. Behind them dark brown streaks at the 
veins. Dark dusting Imlow the cell from the base to the coniform macula. Hindwing white, narrowly dark at 
the margin. $ 30 mm. South-West Africa. 
The two following genera resemble Notodonfidae (Phalera, Puvmesa), which is indicated by tlieir names. 
78. Genus: Plialerotles Hmps. 
Proboscis stunted, palpi thin, projecting beyond frons. Antennae of ciliated. Prothorax with a 
parted tuft, metathorax with a feeble tuft, a larger one at the base of the abdomen. Neuration normal. 
P. cauta Hmps. (lOf). Thorax blackish-brown, abdomen brownish ochreous. Forewing brownish cnula. 
ochreous. Finely rusty brown at the costal inargin, somewhat grey below it. The lower cell-margin nut-brown, 
behind it as far as the distal margin more broadly nut-brown. Only the lower part of the white-edged reni¬ 
form macula is present. Grey below it towards the distal margin, two distinct white lines at vein 4. Distal 
and inner margins blackish. Hindwing white, brownish in the 2(i—30 mm. South Africa. 
79. Genus: Ramesocleis Hmps. 
Proboscis normal, palpi projecting beyond frons. Prothorax with a small tuft. Neuration normal. 
Type: divisa Hmps. 
R. divisa Hmps. (lOf). Antennae of strongly pectinated. Thorax and forewing blackish-brown. iJh-im.
