Hindwing pale yellow, somewhat brown in the $ at the margin. — parilella Sfrd. lacks the white s])ot in the parilelta. 
middle of the inner margin. 22—26 mm. South Africa. 
C. olivescens Hmps. Thorax yellowish white, abdomen with orange and black rings. Forewing yellow- olh-rfimis. 
ish white with a broad olive brown interior band obliquely inwards. The ring-macida is a small round olive 
brown spot, the reniform macida an olive brown ring. Marginal area dark red-l)rown, the border from the apex 
to the lower cell-angle, then horizontal, and vertically on to the middle of the inner margin. Exterior line be¬ 
ginning with a dark streak at the costal margin, then indistinct, red-brown from vein 6, bent invard below 
vein 4. Submarginal line finely yellowish white, from vein 3 to the anal angle. Hindwing yellow, darker, redder 
at the margin. ^ 20 mm. Transvaal. 
C. triphaenoides WUgrn. (= liturifera Wh\, trimenii WUgrn.) (15 e). Thorax white, abdomen orange, iriphamol- 
basal half of forewing white. Interior line of black double spots. A short black streak in the cell. Marginal 
area dark red-brown, with a grey reflection at the margin. Its interior border from the costal margin obliquely 
outwards to the inner cell-angle, then bent to the middle of the inner margin. Reirihu'in macula indiscernible. 
An almost square white spot behind it at the costal margin. A black median line proceeds from the renifocm 
macula and an exterior line from the white spot, the latter line approaching the other one at the inner margin, 
where it is indistinct. Submarginal line finely white, very dentate. Hindwing jmle orange, narrowly brown 
at the margin in the anterior part. The $ is darker. The border of the inarginal area is situate farther inwards 
in the costal-marginal area. Hindwing darker orange, the dark margin broader and extending farther to the 
anal angle. 26—30 mm. South West and South Africa. 
C.natalis Guen. (= adulterina WUgrn., formosa Btlr.) (15 e). Thorax dark olive browm, abdomen lighter. untaHs. 
Forewing white. Interior band broad, riisty yellow in front, olive brown behind. Ring-macula and reniform 
macula grey, reddish-yelloAV betw'een them. An olive brown connection may extend from there to the interior 
line. The marginal area is indented by a similar wliite spot as in parilis. Exterior line doid^le, black with sil¬ 
very scales, strongly bent imvards below the cell. Close behind it the pale indistinct submarginal line. Hind¬ 
wing white, somewhat brown at the apex. ^ much darker. A narrow white stri])e l)elow the costal margin 
reaches the costal margin above the reniform macula. A wdiite spot also at the inner margin behind the in¬ 
terior line. Hindwing copper-brown. 20—22 mm. South and East Africa. 
C. sphendonistis Hmps. Body white, abdomen with narrow' l^lackish segmental margins. Basal area sphenduni- 
of forew'ing w'hite. Interior line grey, doable, a few more spots before it. Ring-macula and reniform macula 
w'ith fine black rings which are open above. An oblicpie olive grey spot from the middle of the costal margin. 
Marginal area violettish-grey, olive browm at the inner margin and apex. Exterior line marked l)y an oblique 
olive grey spot at the costal margin in the white area, then by an interrupted undidate black line, strongly 
bent inwards below' the cell. Submarginal line beginning from a w'hite Inna below' vein 7, small w'hite lunae 
edged red inside beginning from vein 5, dusted w'hite l)ehind it. Hindwing white with a broad blackish-brown 
marginal band. The $ exhibits a greyer basal area on the forew'ing, the hindwing is nearly quite dark brown. 
30—35 mm. South Africa. 
C. citrelinea B.-Bah. Thorax and forewIng wdiite, the latter with a curved lemon-coloured median citreHnai. 
line, with a grey spot inside at the inner margin, another spot in the cell, nearer to the base, 2 more spots in 
the cell behind the median line. Exterior liiie lemon-coloured, convex behind the cell. Marginal area lead- 
coloured W'ith a red apical spot, lemon-coloured at the anal angle. Fringe wdiite. Hindw'ing w'hite, grey at the 
apex, cj 20 mm. Angola. 
C. calHma B.-Bak. Body and forewing wdiite. Median line lemon-coloured, extra-angular in the middle, callima. 
Tw'o grey spots behind it, one in the cell, one liehind it. Broadly lead-coloured with a slight olive tint above 
the inner margin from the median line to the anal angle. A broad rectangular olive l)row'n spot from the spot 
behind the cell to the marginal area. Margin wdiite, with dark spots between the veins. Hindwing purely wdiite. 
22 mm. Angola. 
60. Genus: Procriosis Hmps. 
Proboscis normal, palpi short, porrect, frons w'ith a long projection. Antennae of $ plain. Metathorax 
W'ith an appressed tuft. Vein 6 of forew'ing below' the iqiper cell-angle, 7 8 + 9 stalked. Veins of hindwing 
normal. Type; diUiica Hmps. Only 2 species know'ii, both from Africa. 
P. dileuca Hmps. Body greyish-brown. Basal half of forewing yellowish white, greyer before the den- dileuca. 
tate interior line. Exterior half olive brown. The border extends from before the centre of the costal margin 
straight to behind the centre of the inner margin. A w'hite dot at the upper cell-angle. A triangular yellow'ish 
white spot at ^ t of the costal margin, from wdiich the indistinct dark exterior line proceeds, bent almost parallel 
with the distal margin. Submarginal line i>ale, fine, some dark dots before it. Hindwing ])ale red-brown, fringe 
yellow'. 22 mm. East Africa. 
P. albizona Hmps. Body pale red-brown, like the basal area of the forewing, which contains an in- albizona. 
terior w'hite band w'ith a fine red-hrow'n imdulate line in the middle. Median area also pale red-brown as far 
as the exterior line. Marginal area w hite, also somewhat red-brown at the costal margin. Hindwing pale red-
