CLAD0CER0TI8; MICRAGROTIS. By M. Gaede. 
A. malagassica Rothsch. Thorax pinkish-grey, abflonien straw-coloured. Forewing ])ink, finely white iii(il<i(iassi- 
at the costal margin, the distal two thirds of the centre of the wing pale yellow. Hindwing somewhat dia- 
phanous, with a silky gloss, cream-coloured with a golden shine. Distal margin hand-like smoky brown. Other 
specimens from the same habitat — anerythra Rothsch. are quite brownish without any ])ink. In this case the anfri/llira. 
$ shows a more distinctly brown marginal third of the hindwing. 27 mm. Madagascar. 
A. bella Gaede (11 i) resembles atkinsoni. Thorax greyish-brown, abdomen yellowish-brown. Forewing 
finely yellowish-white at the costal margin almost to the apex. Basal and costal-marginal areas ])ink. Yellow¬ 
ish-red from the cell-end oblicpiely upwards to the apex. 2 or 3 dark dots at the anterior edge of the cell, as 
in atkinsoni. Interior line absent, sometimes dark dots of the exterior line are visible at veins 2—4. The s])ace 
around the latter as far as the inner margin more violettish-red, somewhat pink close at the distal margin. 
Hindwing yellowish-white, pale golden at the margin. 25 mm. Fast Africa. 
5. Genus: flladocerotis Hmps. 
Proboscis stunted, palpi short with long hair. Frons with a conical projection. Antennae of (J with 
long pectinations. Anterior tibiae similar to those of Raghuva, besides lateral spines. Forewing roimderl at 
the apex. Type; optahiiis Bsd. from Europe. 
C. oeneus Fawc. (11 i). Body and forewing pale red-brown. The veins, as well as the ring-macula and ocncus. 
reniform macula pale brownish-ochreous, the latter edged black. Cell darker brown, edged black in front. Coni¬ 
form macula very long and black. Blackish triangular spots at the distal margin between tlie veins, those in 
the middle lieing larger. Hindwing smoky brown in the distal half, lighter at the base. 3fi mm. ]\Ieru. 
6. Genus: Micragjrotis Hmps. 
Proboscis small, palpi short. Frons with a conical projection and a bent plate below it. Antennae 
of (T finely ciliated. Anterior tibiae short and broad, with 2 claws inside, with one or two outside, laterally 
spilled besides. Type: oxijUdes Hmps. from India. 
1. Anterior tibiae with 2 claws each inside and outside. 
M. exusta Hmps. (Hi). Thorax blackish brown, abdomen brownish ochreous. Forewing dark red- c.rusta. 
brown as far as the exterior line. Interior line black, undulate, interrupted, indistinct. Coniform macula small, 
finely edged with black. Ring-macula and reniform macula edged and centred black. Exterior line indistinctly 
dentate, somewhat concave behind the cell. Brownish ochreous behind it, dark streaks on the veins, and in¬ 
distinct red-brown ones between them. Hind wing yellowish white, broivner at the costal margin. 34 mm. 
Mashona Land. 
M. interstriata Hmps. (11 i). Thorax blackish-brown, abdomen browuiish-ochreous. Forewdng blackish- vitersirldia 
brown in the costal-marginal area and in the cell, bhiish-grey l)elow' it, browner in the marginal area, where 
there are black streaks at the veins and brown ones betw'een them. Interior line fine, double, very strongly 
dentate inw'ards. Ring-macula and reniform macula small, edged black, the ring-macula wdiite inside, the reni¬ 
form macula wdth a dark centre. From the latter a dark undulate line to the inner margin. Exterior line close 
behind it, dentate, hlack. Fringe black and Avhite. Hindwing wdiite, brownish at the costal margin. 30 mm. 
South Africa. 
M. semicirculosa n.sp. (11 i) resembles interstriata in the somew hat shiny bluish inner margin of the scmicircu- 
forewdng. Thorax dark red-brown, patagia with violettish-grey hair, light reddish browui. Forewdng dark red- 
brown as far as the interior line, in the cell and then more narrowly to the apex. More or less bluish-grey blow 
the cell as far as the inner margin, the other parts ochreous. Interior line black, doiible, notched, rectilinear. 
The coniform maciila is indicated by a semi-circle at its end. Ring-maciila with a black centre surrounded by 
a light and a black ring. Reniform macuda broad, wdth a grey centre, then wdth browui and black rings. Dark¬ 
est betw'een the fcw'o maculae. Exterior line do\il>le, notched, indistinct in front, beginning from tlie loAver 
cell-angle. A brownish ochreoiis stri])e from the reniform macula to the apex. A dark brown triangidar s])ot 
at the margin behind the cell, somewhat brownish ochreous again below' it. A smaller less dark spot at the 
anal angle. Hinrlwdng yellow'ish wdiite, wdthout a dark marginal line. (T 26—28 mm. Uiundi. A somewhat 
smaller specimen from the Cameroons seems also to belong to this species. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
M. strigibasis Hnips. (11 k). Thorax reddish ochreous, abdomen ochreous, forewing reddish ochreous. sirigihasis. 
Interior line very indistinct, double, filled with hrownish ochreous, dentate. A fine black streak below the 
base of the cell. Traces of a coniform macula. Ring-macula and reniform macula light wdth a dark centre and 
edged dark. An oblique median line from the reniform macula to the inner margin. Exterior line dark, edged 
ochreous outside, finely dentate, far excurved at the costal margin, then obliquely inwards, parallel to the 
distal margin. Dark strqies in the marginal area. Hindw ing yellowdsh-white. 30 mm. Cape Colony, Basuto Land. 
M. lacteata Hnnps. (11 k). Body greyish-brown. Forewdng reddish brow'n in the anterior half, the rest tnctenin.
