exciirved at the anterior margin, otlieiAvise oljlique and parallel to the distal margin, formed of blackish streaks. 
Bi’OAvnish ochreons from the apex oblicpiely to the exterior line and as far as the distal margin. Besides a dark 
line from the apex parallel to the exterior line. Hindwing dark brown, lighter at the base. § 26 mm. East Africa. 
2. Genus: Cliloriclea Westw. 
Se])arated from the preceding genus by shorter claws on the anterior tibiae. The latter are longer and 
more slender than in Raglmva, more normally shaped. Type: virescens F. from America. vSeveral species of 
this genus have an extraordinary .range extending over several continents. 
C. albivenata Poult. (He). Very similar to R. discalis. Thorax and forewing brownish ochreous. A 
dark sub cellular stripe extends to the exterior line. Traces of an oblique black interior line only in the anterior 
part. The ring-macula is a black streak, the reniform macula a blurred black spot. Veins behind the ceil as 
far as the exterior line white. Exterior line white, edged with blackish S])ots on both sides. More reddish brown 
behind it. Black marginal dots as in the other species. Hindwing as in R. discalis. $ 24 mm. Somali Land. 
C. metachrisea Hmps. Thorax dark red-brown, abdomen blackish-brown with orange segmental mar¬ 
gins. Forewing pale olive brown. Interior line blackish, strongly dentate, quite indistinct. The ring-macula 
is a faded black spot, connected with dots extending to the inner margin. Reniform macula with a grey centre 
and a l)lackish-brown edge in a faded brown spot Avhich extends to the costal margin and to the middle of 
the inner margin. Exterior line finely dentate, strongly incurved towards the inner margin. Darker behind it as 
far as the submarginal line which is composed of lunae. The distal area looks somewhat different in the original 
figure. Hindwing orange, dusted blackish at the base, margin broadly black. $ 32 mm. Madagascar. 
C. peltigera Schiff. is distriliuted from Europe to India and was therefore dealt with already in Vol. Ill, 
p. 246 and pi. 45 k. Besides it occurs in North Africa and in the Cape Colony. A South-African $ form, in 
which the hindwing is not brownish ochreous, but orange, has been denominated: — aurantiaca Strd. 
C. nubigera H.-Sch. is distributed from the Mediterranean districts to India; cf. Vol. Ill, p. 246 and 
pi. 50. It is also knovn from Somali Land. 
C. armigera Him. has a still larger range than the two preceding species. Except the cold parts of 
the globe there is hardly any corxntry where it does not occur. It is known from the humid Congo District, 
from South-W'est Africa as well as from Abyssinia, South Africa, Madagascar. The species can also be enu¬ 
merated as ohsoleta F. Cf. also Vol. Ill, }). 246 and ])1. 50 k. 
C. jefferyi Janse resembles peltigera. Thorax and foreAxung yellowish white, abdomen somewhat browner. 
All the lines and spots on the forewing are red-brown. Interior line dentate. Reniform macida blackish brown, 
a triangular spot inwards of it at the costal margin. The exterior line begins with a spot at the costal margin 
close behind the reniform macula, then for some distance parallel to the costal margin and later parallel to 
the distal margin. Fine dark s])ots between veins 7 and 2 substitute the submarginal line. Between the latter 
and the exterior line somewhat darker than the ground-colour. The black marginal dots are more intensified 
towards the anal angle. Hindwing white. Discal spot, exterior hire and marginal band as in assulta Gtien. 
3 5 mm. Transvaal. 
C. scutuligera Guen. (11 e). Thorax arid forewing pale olive brown, abdomen somewhat more orange 
brown. Forewing pale broAvnish ochreous in and behind the cell. A broAvn streak beloAv the base of the cell. 
The ring-macula is a black dot. The reniform macula a black luna Avith a grey centre, mostly connected Avith 
the costal margin by a dark blotch. Exterior line indistinct, dentate, almost parallel to the distal margin, 
Avith AAlrite dots outside, and a broAvn stripe behind it extends to the pale submarginal band. HindAAdng ochreous, 
mostly with a black cerrtral lirrra. Margirral band broad black Avith a light s]rot beloAA’ the rrriddle. 30 rrnrr. 
Sorrth-West arrd Horrth Africa. 
C. fuscimacula Janse. Similar to scutuligera, bxit sejxarated by the discoidal luna, the absence of AA'hite 
dots at the exterior line, the presence of the interior line, and the different colour on the hindAving. Body and 
foreAA’ing light brown, margined somewhat darker all around. Interior line blackish, describing a semi-circle 
around the ring-macula Avhich is a blackish-broAvn spot finely edged A\ith red-broAvn. Reniform macida dark 
broAvn, edged Avith black and around this a L^-sha]ied red-hroAvn line Avhich is closed by a black spot toAA’ards 
the costal margin. A fine median line proceeds from the reniform macula. Exterior line broAA'n, dentate. Sub¬ 
marginal line fine light, darker brown outside of it as far as the margin. HindAving dark yelloAV, discal luna 
and margins hlackish broAvn, 2 small light marginal spots in the marginal band. G mm. Natal. 
C. assulta Guen. (Ilf) has a range extending from IVest Africa across India and Ja])an to Samoa. The 
])ale red-broAA'ii species is easily separated from the other Ethio]uan species by the distinct interior and median 
lines. 24-—34 mm.
