greyish-brown. — atriferoides Strd. shows the median area of the forewing blackish, except at'the co.stal and 
inner margins. — In atriferella Strd. the forewing is rather uniformly greyish-brown. 20—22 mm. South and 
East Africa, Sokotra. 
0. perplexa Saalm. (14 g). The whole marking is rather indistinct. Forewing greyish-brown, the distal 
area red.-l)rown excepting the costal margin and the marginal area. Interior line very indistinct, double, with 
a black dot outside at the costal margin. The ring-macida is a white, black-edged dot. Median line oblique 
and with a black shadow behind it from the costal margin to the median vein, then undulate. Exterior line double, 
similar to atrifera, a few red-lu'own dots behind, it at the costal margin. Submarginal line pale, two black streaks 
before it at the costal margin, black dots below it. Hindwing dark brown. 20—25 mm. South Africa, Mada¬

terior branch very much indented in the cell. Median line black, double, slightly excurved in the middle, an

excui'A'ed. Reniform macida pale, edged dark. Exterior line whitish, far excurved as far as behind the middle 
of the cell, edged dark on both sides. The margin behind it AAdiitish ochreous, above the projection of the ex¬ 
terior line a semicircular dark spot at the costal margin. Besides a grey cloud and black dots at the margin. 
HindAving greyish-broAvn. 26 mm. Madagascar. 
38. Genus : Pseiidozarba Warr. 
Separated from Ozarba only by the presence of an areole, Avhilst veins U) + 8 + 9 of the foreAving are 
stalked in Ozarba. Type; opella Sivinh. from India, described as Acontia. 
P. abbreviata Bothsch. Body cinnamon brown Avith a grey tint. ForeAving short and truncate, distal 
margin convex. Basal third cinnamon broAvni, costal marginal area densely streAvn Avith black. The middle 
third is sooty blackish grey, bordered inside and outside 1>y a light cinnamon red line. Distal third someAvhat 
lighter than the base, 4 AA'hite s})ots at the costal margin. HindAving silky yellowdsh grey, darker at the margin.

olive broAvn median band, AA'ith a feAV silvery scales at the veins. Interior line almost straight, black. The ex¬ 
terior border of the median area also Idack, someA\diat angular at the loAA'er edge of the cell. (Toss-vein Avith 
a fine broAvn streak. Exterior line the same, slightly excurved beloAV the costal margin, then rather straight 
to the inner margin, slightly concave only in the sul)median fold. A little behind it a light olive broAvai band 
on a yelloAv ground, broader at the costal margin. Another olive broAvn band nearer to the margin. HindAving 
greyish-broAvn. — A series of forms; — melanopennis Strd. ForeAving basally and hindAving blacker. — deargen-
