CYTOTHYMIA; SYNTHYMIA; PACHYCOA. By M. Gaede. 
contra- C. contrastans Hmjrs. Forewing with a pink spot at the base, before and in the middle of the costal 
Stans, jnargin, a larger one at the apex. Hindwing as in laurae. $ 44 mm. Gold Coast. 
The following species show hlackish-brown hindwings wliich are somewhat lighter basally. 
2. Antennae of shortly pectinated. 
nigcrrhna. C. iiigerrinia Hmps. (11 b). Costal margin of forewing with a small pink spot in the middle, some dots 
behind it, apex without a spot. 38^—42 mm. South and East Africa. 
pectinicor- C. pectinicofiiis Gaede (lOh). Centre of costal margin with a small light spot, 1 dot before it, 3 behind 
it, and the apical spot. 35 mm. East Africa. 
3. Antennae of cj ciliated. 
decora. C. dccora Wh\ (11 b). One pink spot each at the base of the costal margin, in its centre and betw'een 
them, then 3 small dots and a light apical spot. 38—4G mm. Spanish Guinea, South Africa. — Larva white 
with irregidar pink spots, edged black, the last segments only faded pink. Tubercles black with long wdiite hair. 
fignrans. C. figurans Wkr. (11 b). Lighter violettish-brown than the other species. Interior and exterior lines 
blackish, edged ochreous on both sides. The large ring-macula and reniform macula chocolate brown, edged 
light, the coniform macida is a broad spot. A light submarginal line proceeds from the wdiite apical spot. $ 
38—-42 mm. Natal. — Larva pale yellow with some small brown double spots on the dorsum, 3 subdorsal lines 
thomac. and 1 lateral line, with a liroad band below it. Head red, legs pink. — thomae E. Prout has a smaller ring- 
macida and an almost still smaller coniform macula, and it lacks altogether the strong black postcellular stripe 
from the exterior line to the margin. St. Thome. 
ohscura. C. obscura Hmps. (11 b). Very dark. A white dot before and in the middle of the costal margin. From 
the latter dot the broAvnish exterior line proceeds very obliquely, being sharply angled at vein 4 and then in- 
cairved. Ring-macula and reniform maciila mostly not even indicated by white scaled margins. A larger white 
spot at the apex, the anal angle with a dark coppery gloss. $ 36—38 mm. Togo, Gasa Land, East Africa. It 
is possible that ohsciira is the first described $ belonging to peciinicornis (J. In this case the sjiecies AVOuldhaA^e 
to be ranged in the preceding group. 
holophaca. C. holophaca Hmps. resembles obscura. Interior and exterior lines slightly marked by grey borders, 
the 3 maculae by black margins. Four white dots in the exterior part at the costal margin. A dark submarginal 
line is present, but no white ajhcal spot. $ 30 mm. Niger District. 
cupricolor. C. cupricolor Hmps. (11 b) is still less marked. Coniform macula long, chocolate brown, the ring- 
macula and reniform macula edged with black and connected by a streak. Interior and exterior line hardly 
traceable, submarginal line absent. Marginal area and a streak at the inner margin reddish. Hindwing white, 
browmish at the margin. 34 mm. Mashona Land ? 
96. Genus: Cytothymia Hmps. 
Rrohoscis normal, palpi short, porreet. Frons wdth a round hump. Antennae of finely ciliated. Body 
tuftless. Neuration normal. 
obsita. C. obsita Fldr. (11c). Thorax and forewing ochreous. Interior line fine, notched. The ring-macula 
is a dark brown dot. Reniform macula small, edged with browm. A rusty browm band extends from the lower 
cell-angle to the inner margin beside the brovmish ochreous exterior line. Submarginal line brow'nish ochreous, 
rusty browm before it at the costal margin, rusty yellow behind it. Hindwing with a fine brown exterior line 
and a faded band behind it. In the $ the median band begins already at the costal margin, not only at the 
cell-angle. 26—-28 mm. Cape Colony. 
97. Genus: ^yiitliyniia Hbn. 
Separated from Oytothymia by somewhat more hairy ])alpi. Type: fixa F. from Southern Europe. 
exsiccata. S. exsiccata Warr. (11 c). Thorax and forewing ochreous. Traces of a rusty red interior line Avith a 
dot in the sidAinedian fold. Ring-macula and reniform macAila indicated by lighter spots. Exterior line and 
submarginal line Avhitish. Hindwdng almost white. The $ forcAving shoAVS the greatest part of the basal area 
and the margin lighter, d' 30 mm. SAidan. 
98. Genus: Pacliycoa Poult. 
Proboscis normal, palpi thin, ])rojecting beyond frons. Frons Avith a flat hump. Antennae of ^ fili¬ 
form. Metathorax Avith a tuft. Vein 6 of foreAving beloAA^ the u])per cell-angle, 8 -)- 9 10 stalked. Vein 5 of 
liindAving from beloAV the middle of the cross-vein.
