A. litliosiasia Hrnps. Thorax grey, abdomen with orange and blackish brown rings. Forewing narrowly 
black at the costal margin in the distal part, white below it as far as the lower cell-margin and vein G, the rest 
of the wing grey. A lilack dot in the centre of the cell and 2 at the cross-vein, the latter almost forming a ring. 
Inner margin and fringe yellow. Hindwing white, costal margin and fringe yellow. (J 25 mm. East Africa. 
A. anacarstha limps. Thorax white, abdomen with yellow and black bands. Forewing silvery white. 
Ring-macida and reniform macula marked by lateral l)ent black streaks. A few black streaks at the costal 
margin at the end. Hindwing silvery white, rather scantily scaled. $ 30 mm. Niger District. 
A. dicycla Hm.ps. Thorax white, abdomen with orange and black rings. Forewing silvery white, some¬ 
what brownish. Costal margin black at the base. Interior line black, undulate, obliqxiely outwards. Ring- 
macida and reniform macuda represented by large black rings, median line undulate, black. The exterior part 
at the costal margin black with white dots in it. Exterior line black, convex below the costal margin and in the 
middle, a little also above the inner margin. Submarginal line black, very undulate, interrupted between vein 
and the sidiinedian fold. Hindwing white, brown at the costal margin. Central and East Africa. 20—25 mm. 
A. atricosta limps. Body and wings silvery white, somewhat yellowish. Forewing dark brown at the 
costal margin from behind the middle almost to the aj^ex. Hindwing also brownish in the costal-marginal area.

57. Genus: lioplioraelie Hmps. 
Proboscis normal, palpi rising oldicpiely, long. Antennae of (J finely ciliated. Frons with a round pro¬ 
jection. Metathorax with a small tnft, abdomen with a basal txd't. Neuration normal in both wings. Type; 
julvirufa Ihups. 
L. fulvirufa Hm.ps. $ body greyish-brown. Forewing olive yellow in the basal half, the border at the 
costal margin reaching almost to the middle, from there obliquely outwards to the middle of the cell, then 
rectangularly broken to of the inner mai'gin. Marginal spot red-hrown with a violet gloss. Exterior line 
indistinct, dark, parallel with the distal margin. Sid)marginal line of black dots, bent inward below vein 3, 
a yellow si)ot behind it in the sidDmedian fold. Hindwing dark greyish brown. In the the body and the 
basal area of the forewing are reddish ochreous. The interior line is reju’esented by an oblique brown streak 
at the costal margin and a broAvn spot behind it at the costal margin. The spot behind the sixbmarginal line 
is olive brown, whitish ochreous outside. A black streak behind the exterior line below the costal margin, and 
a similar one extends from the apex. Hindwing brownish ochreous, margin darker. 24 mm. East Africa, Somali¬ 
land. 
58. Genus: Tliyatiriiia Hmps. 
Prolxoscis normal, palpi obliquely projecting, frons with a jiointed ])rojection. Antennae somewhat 
laminated. Metathorax with an appressed tuft. Neuration normal in both wings. Type: achatina Weym. 
T. achatina Weym,. (15 e). Thorax dark reddish brown, alxdomen lighter. Forewing brownish ochreous 
at the base, whitish at the inner margin, bordered by the distinct yellow interior lixxe. The latter forms a large 
bow as far as vein 1 and then a smaller one above the inner margin. Behind it the dark chocolate median area, 
also edged yellow outside, almost straight, only with a short, sharp ])oint in the submedian fold. Behind it 
the large olive lu’own spot similar to that of the species of Thyatira, turning lighter in front, edged, light yellow 
outside. Apex olive brown, anal angle light like the marginal lines. Hindwing of white, brownish at the apex, 
lu'own in the $. 26—30 mm. South and East Africa. Originally descrilxed as a species of Thyatira. 
59. Genus: Cardiosace Hmps. 
Proboscis normal, ])alpi short, with thick hair. Frons with a small projection. Antennae of G fihnost 
]jlain. Metathorax with an ajrpressed tuft. Neuration normal. Type; sph.endonistis Hmps. Only African species. 
C. bideiltata Hmps. (15 e). Body and forewing chocolate brown. Costal-marginal area yellowish white, 
irrorated dark in front. Interior line black, slightly recognizable only at the inner margin. The ring-macula 
and reniform macuda are rejiresented by indentations into the dark area. The former round, the latter moon¬ 
shaped. Exterior line Idack, cutting off the light margin, very feeble, bent far inwards in the submedian fold. 
Hindwing orange, narrocvly black at the margin in the broader in the 25 nxm. Mashonaland, Transvaal. 
C. parilis WUgrn. (= guttistrigata Wkr., rectangularis Gwr.) (15 e). Thorax white, abdomen ])ale yellow. 
Forewing white at the costal margin from the inner margin near the Ixase almost to the a])ex, the rest of the 
wing olive greyish brown with an irregxdar white spot at the middle of the inner margin. A small white spot 
at the low'er cell-angle, the beginning of veins 3 and 4 also white. Interior line pale orange on the white area, 
often also absent. Ring-macula and reniform macrda grey, edged with white, dark between them. Exterior 
line orange at the costal margin, very far outside, then black double across the inner margin. Marginal area
