Proboscis normal. Pal]n very erect. Antennae of d ciliated. Abdomen with tnfts except on the 2 
basal segments. Forewing ronnded at the apex. Veins 3—5 from the lower cell-angle, 6 from the upper angle, 
7+8+9 stalked. Veins 3 and 4 of hindwing not stalked. 
L. melanonephra Hmps. Body brownish ochreons and greyish brown. Abdominal tufts silvery, situate 
on black s])ots. Wings similarly coloured as body. Forewing with an indistinct undulate brown interior line, 
the median line more distinct, with a black oblique streak from the costal margin. A small black Inna at the

and 2, incurved below it. Behind it black and white dots at the costal margin. Submarginal line greyish-brown, 
excurved at vein 7 and in the middle. Hindwing with a more red-brown marginal area. The cross-vein and 
the exterior line black, umhdate. Submarginal line pale, undrdate. Both wings with a parted black line at

14. Genus: Toaiia Wkr. 
Proboscis normal, palpi long, obliquely rising, the second joint with long hair above at the end. An¬ 
tennae of the T ciliated. Abdomen tuftless. Vein 3 of forewing more separated from 4 and 5, the other veins 
as in Lamproloplia. All the veins of the hindwing as in Lamproloplia. Type: semiochralis Wlk. from Borneo.

T. craspedica Hmps. [IZ c). Body and wings yellowish white. Forewing with a black dentate interior 
line. A l)lack Inna at the cross-vein. Median shadow brownish, excurved around the cross-vein, from the 
submedian fold vertical to the inner margin, with black connecting streaks to the exterior line below the costal 
margin. Exterior line finely black, nndidate, parallel to the median shadow,[from vein 2 vertical to the inner margin. 
Submarginal line fine, black, with a black spot at the costal margin, concave behind the cell and in the sidr- 
median fold, broadly edged with brown inside. A large dark spot at the margin behind the cell. Hindwing 
with an oblique exterior row of black dots, a dark brown shadow at the margin, angled inwards. 18 mm.

T. acidalica Hmps. (13 c). Body and wings pale olive brown. Forewing with a few silvery scales. In¬ 
terior line fine, black, strongly excurved below the cell. A black dot in the middle of the cell, and two at the 
cell-angles. Exterior line black, notched, excurved around the cell, from vein 4 vertical to the inner margin. 
Narrowly brown at the margin, with black marginal dots. Hindwing with silvery scales. A black luna at the 
cross-vein, traces of a bent exterior line, and a marginal shadow, with black marginal dots. $ 15 mm. Sierra Leone. 
T. nigrilitieata Poult. (13 c). Body and forewing pale greyish-brown. Interior line strong, black, some¬ 
what excurved towards the submedian fold, then inwards. A feeble brown median line, slightly excurved

the median line, more undulate. A brown suljinarginal line is hardly traceable. Hindwing somewhat lighter. 
A black exterior line is more distinct only near the inner margin. Both wings with a black marginal line.

6 from the upper cell-angle, 7 and 8+9 frojn the a 2 )ex of the areole, 10 from its anterior edge. Veins 3 and 4 
of hindwing from the same base or stalked. Anterior tibiae of d widened and hollowed out, forming a dordrle
