B. convexiliniba Strd. (10 g) is extremely similar to fusca, but the antennae of the exhibit much 
shorter pectinations. The interior line on the forewing seems to be more excurvecl. The exterior line extends 
below the costal margin somewhat parallel to it outwards, then sharply bent inwards. The two lines are nearer 
to each other at the inner margin than in fusca. Abdomen and hindwing dark brown, but almost blackish in 
the only $. 34—38 mm. Cameroons. — Conicofrontia sjoestedti Auriv. is probably a synonym of it. 
Antennae of d' ciliated. 
B. ochrivirga Prout is coloured like fusca H^nps. though less red-brown. Interior line faded, far ex- ochrivmja 
curved, from costal margin to -/g inner margin. Exterior line just as indistinct, somewhat more excurved 
at the lower cell-angle than in fusca. Maculae not visible. An orange brown streak from 73 of the length of 
the cell to the margin, the series of black submarginal spots rather oblique. Hindwing brownish white. If the 
antennae were not different, it might be one of the many fuscaAorms varying in size and colouring. 20—32 mm. 
St. Thome. 
B. melanodonta Hmps. (10 g). Thorax reddish brown. Eorewing light brownish ochreous. Interior melam- 
line obliquely outwards, projecting far at vein 1 . Ring-macula edged with black, rather large. Reniform macula 
light, narrow. A broad dark rusty brown shadow from the interior line to the reniform macula, continued 
below vein 3 to the distal margin. Exterior line quite indistinct in front, strongly notched at the interior margin. 
Distinct blackish sagittae before the whitish submarginal line. Black spots at the margin. Hindwing whitish, 
the veins somewhat brown. ^ 26—30 mm. Uganda. 
B. nubifera Hmps. (10 g). Brownish ochreous. Interior and exterior lines distinct, dentate; the ex- nubifera. 
terior line obliquely from the costal margin. Ring-macula and reniform macula finely edged with black, the 
latter with a black median streak. The median area from the costal margin to vein 2 dark brown like the 
costal margin behind it and the centre of the distal margin enclosing the light submarginal line. Hindwing 
similar to melanodonta. (J 28 mm. Congo District. 
B. obliquifascia Hmps. (10 g). Body and forewing yellowish ochre. Veins whitish. Traces of a black obUrjui- 
basal streak. Transverse vein whitish. A faded white band from the apex to % of the inner margin is distally fascia. 
bordered by black scales. Black marginal lunae. Hindwing greyish yellow, cj 22 mm. Uganda, Transvaal. 
B. stygiata Hmps. (10 g). Thorax and forewing blackish-brown. A black basal streak is united below sfygiata. 
the cell with the long coniform macula. From the centre of the median vein a black streak is bent up to the 
apex, edged light in front. Reniform macula composed of 4 black dots. Abdomen and hindwing yellowish- 
white. (^30 mm. Transvaal. 
B. rufidorsata Hmps. Body greyish-brown. Forewing dark greyish-brown, reddish-brown below the rufUlorsaia. 
submedian fold. An indistinct reddish-browm radial streak from the centre of the cell outwards, then bent 
up to the apex. Hindwing greyish-brown. $ 30 mm. Niger District. 
B. hemiphlebia Hmps. Thorax dark red-brown. Forewing pale red-brown. A dark band along the hemiphle- 
median vein is expanded behind the cell to the interior angle and almost to the apex. The veins in the anterior 
part with grey streaks. A fine black basal streak in the submedian fold. Exterior and submarginal lines com¬ 
posed of fine black dots. Hindwing copper-brown. ($ 26 mm. Niger District. 
B. unicolora Hmps. Body and wings greyish-brown. A black dot inside in the submedian fold on the unicolora. 
forewing. A blackish-brown dot edged with white at the lower cell-angle. Exterior line marked by black dots 
at the veins. 28 mm. Congo District. 
B. mesophaea Hmp>s. Body and forewing pale brown, dusted black, median area blackish. A faded mesophaea. 
reddish-brown band in the submedian fold and behind the cell. Interior line faded, black, edged with white 
inside, obliquely to the submedian fold. Ring-macula and reniform macula in indistinct white rings. Median 
line bent, black, indistinct. Exterior line black, edged with white outside, projecting inwards on the veins. 
Submarginal line of blackish lunae. Hindwing white with a slight reddish-brown tinge. 26 mm. Niger District. 
B. cuprescens Hmps. Thorax and forewing copper-brown and ochreous. The scanty dark marking caprescens. 
consists of a dot at vein 1 near the base, some scales behind the lower cell-end, and an oblique submarginal 
shadow below the apex. Hindwing white, slightly brownish. A 20 mm. Niger District. 
B. holoscota Hmps. Body and forewing dark brown, dusted grey. A fine black streak in the middle holoscota. 
of the submedian fold, the base of the inner margin reddish, a Avhite dot with black scales at the lower cell- 
angle. Hindwing dark brown. 22 mm. Niger District. 
B. fuscantis Hmp)s. Body blackish-brown. Eorewing brownish ochreous and red-brown, dusted blackish- fuscantis. 
brown especially at the costal margin. White dots in and behind the lower cell-angle. Submai'ginal line faded,
