L. phoenicoxantha Hmps. Body dark brownish red. Porewing yellow, base and costal margin dark 
red with silvery scales. Interior line indistinct, excurved, pink on a yellow ground. The 3 hair-tnfts black 
with silvery scales. Pink aronnd the cross-vein and on a band from there to the inner margin. Exterior line 
yellow, pink outside, excm’ved below the costal margin, incurved behind the cell and below vein 3. Sub¬ 
marginal line marked by a pink spot behind its middle. Hind.Aving pink with silvery scales, yellow at the 
margin. Interior, median and exterior lines faded, dark, bent. Both wings with pink dots at the margin. ^ 
20 mm. Natal. 
L. argyropasta Hmps. Thorax dark red-brown, abdomen yellow, browner towards the base. Forewing 
yelloAV, base and costal margin dark brown with silvery scales as far as the sid^marginal line. Interior line 
oblique, red-brown, from the cell to the inner margin. Reniform macula dark brown with silvery scales, fused 
with the costal margin. Median line from a yellow streak at the costal margin, red-brown, with 2 angles behind 
the cell. Exterior line dark red-brown, dark brown outside, with silvery scales, excurved below the costal 
margin, faded below vein 3, incurved. Siibmarginal line faded red-brown. Hindwing yellow with red-brown 
lines. Interior and median lines united below the cell, exterior line faded, with silvery scales. Traces of a 
submarginal line. $ 20 mm. Central Africa. 
23. Genus: Clirysozouata Hmps.

before the interior line and in the median area pinkish flesh-coloured. Marginal area yellow. Interior line 
yellow, edged black on both sides on the dark ground, slightly angled outwards beloAV the costal margin, in 
the cell and the submedian fold. Two oblique dark streaks at the middle of the costal margin. Exterior line 
also yellow with black margins, forming a yellow luna behind the cell, strongly inciirved at vein 2. Dark behind 
it between veins 3 and 5 as far as the margin. HindAving grey and pinkish flesh-coloured, marginal area yelloAV,

24. Genus: ^yiigatlia B.-Bak. 
Proboscis and palpi short. Apex of foreAving someAA-hat pointed, distal margin slightly cut out as far 
as vein 4, very oblique beloAv vein 3. Veins 3—5 near the loAver cell-angle, 6 from the upper one, 7—10 from 
the areole, 11 forms Avith 10 a small accessory cell. Hindwing normal, only vein 5 almost from the centre of 
the cross-vein. Type: elegans B.-Bak. 
S. elegans B.-Bak. Both Avings pale straw-coloured, pink in the basal half. ForeAving reddish-brown 
at the base and at vein 3 as far as the margin, more orange behind the cell. A small triangular spot of the 
ground-colour in the centre of this area. The middle of the costal margin and the subapical area pale straAV- 
coloured. A dark line beloAV the cell-end to the inner margin. HindAving pink on % of its length. Interior and 
exterior lines irregiilar, fine, dark. StraAV-coloured behind them, the margin darker. 20 mm. Angola. 
S. semipurpurea Hmps. Body dark red. ForeAving dark red in the basal half, at the costal margin as 
far as the discal fold and the submarginal line, Avith silvery scales. Erect dark broAvn scales in the centre of 
the cell and at the cross-vein. Exterior line yelloAV on the dark ground, excurved behind the cell, then inAvards 
and marked by dark red scales. Submarginal line indicated by the edge of the dark red area as far as the discal 
fold, then faded dark red. Hindwing dark red as far as behind the middle, oblique as far as vein 5, then bent.
