CALLOSTROTIA; ACAENICA; EUSTROTIA. By M. Eaede. 
49. Genus: limps. 
Proboscis normal, palpi highly erected. Frons with a round in'ojection. Antennae of ^ ciliated. Meta¬ 
thorax with an appressed tuft, the abdomen only with a basal tuft. Forewings stretched. Vein (i from tlie upper 
cell-angle, 7—10 from the areole. Hindwing: no vein stalked, vein .5 well develoj)ed. Ty])e: jlavizonaia limps. 
This and the following genus contain but one s])ecies each. 
C. flavizonata Hmps. Body black with yellow scales. Forewing black at the base with a few yellow and llnmrj,naia. 
silvery scales. Interior band yellow, nndrdate. Median area like the ]:)asal area. A small yellow s])ot in the cell, 
a yellow streak at the cross-vein. Exterior line yellow, forming a s])ot at the costal margin, excnrved in the 
middle. Submarginal line yellow, almost straight, edged black outside. Hindwing yellow', sufl’nsed with blackish- 
brown except at the margin, w'ith black marginal dots, cj mm. Niger District. 
50. Genus: Aeaeiiica Hmps. 
Proboscis and palpi as in the preceding genera. Frons with a long hair-pencil above. Antennae of 
t'ufted. Abdomen w'ith a basal hair-tuft. Forewing slightly cut out below the apex, excurved in the middle. 
Forewing with an areole and also in other respects as in Callostrotia. Hindwing somewhat lobate at the anal 
angle, vein 5 less developed, from the centre of the cross-vein. Type: diaperas Hmps. 
A. diaperas Hrnps. Body creamy white, somewhat brownish. Forewing blackish-brown in the basal diaperas. 
half, the distal margin concave below the cell. Interior line indistinct, dark, edged creamy w'hite inside, bent 
inwards in the cell. The space behind it is creamy pink to which an oblique creamy white band extends from the 
apex, the lower side of this band desiJatching an oblique streak to vein 4, leaving free a conical l)lackish-brown 
spot before the apex, with 3 white dots in it. Marginal area blackish-brown, very narrow at the apex, its inner 
margin oblique and undulate, edged by a black line. A black spot at the cross-vein. The w'hite branch is edged 
black above. Fringe with a w'hite basal line. Hindwing brownish white, pink at the anal angle, traces of a dark 
exterior line. 
51. Genus: Eustrotia 
Proboscis present, palpi erect, antennae of d finely ciliated. Thorax w'ith small tufts in the middle and 
behind, abdomen with a basal tuft. Forewing with an areole. Hindwing: veins 3-1-4 shortly stalked or from 
the same base. Vein 5 almost normally strong from below the centre of the cross-vein. Type: unctda Hhn. from 
Euroi3e. The species numbering about 100, one third of which occur in Africa, are very differently marked and 
distributed over all the faunae. 
E. albifissa Hmps. (15 a). Body and forewing ochreous, somewhat pinkish flesh-coloured. Olive brow'n albifissa. 
at the costal margin as far as behind the middle. Median vein anti veins 4 and 5 white. A w'edge-shaped dark 
brown stripe below the cell to the distal margin. The coniform macula is fused w'ith this wedge. The reniform 
macula is indicated by two black dots at the cross-vein. Exterior line white, proceeding from the apex, straight; 
a fine streak starting from this line ends in a bow' before the apex. The margin behind it pink. Hindwing 
brow'uish w'hite. 22 mm. Natal, Transvaal. 
E. divisa Saalm. (15 a). Body and anterior part of forewing light olive ochreous as far as a line from be- divisa. 
fore the middle of the inner margin to the apex, somewdia,t convex in the middle, edged Avith white. The distal 
part is dark olive brown. Exterior line w'hitish, very feeble, notched, rather straightly outAvards as far as vein 4, 
then bent inwards. Traces of a light submarginal line. HindAA'ing pale reddish brown. 18 mm. Madagascar. 
E. diascia Hmps. (15 a). Body and forewing dark brown, more yellow at the base above the inner mar- diascia. 
gin and in the cell as far as the apex. Interior line indistinct, dark, bent iiiAA'ards beloAV the cell. Coniform macula 
edged dark, broad, contiguous AVith the riug-macula, both edged and centred dark. Reniform macula indistinctly 
edged dark, with 2 black dots inside. Exterior line double, filled with white, beginning behind the cell, straightly 
inw'ards. A darker shadoAv from the apex to it at vein 6. Hindwing dark brown. 20 mm. East Africa. 
E. albibasis Hmps. (15 a). Body and forew ing yellowish Avhite. A light olive broAA'n oblique median band, alhihasis. 
Edged white inside, angular outside at the loAver cell-angle and edged Avhite, bent parallel AAith the distal mar¬ 
gin. A blackish spot behind it in the submedian fold, an olive broAvn oblique stripe extends from the apex. 
Hind-Aving paler brown. $ 15 mm. Natal. 
E. olivula Guen. (15 a). Body pale brown. ForeAving Avhite Avith an olive broAvn marking. A narroAV oUvida. 
siJot at the costal margin near the base. A median band expanded to the inner margin. A black dot a,t the 
lower cell-angle, the triangidar spot behind it paler than the others. A larger spot above it at the costal margin, 
and a broad one at the distal margin beloAvthe middle, nairoAvly prolonged toAvards the apex. HindAving yelloAV- 
ish AA'hite. 24—26 mm. Cape Colony.
