from near the base to the exterior line. Interior line very oblique. Erect scales in the cell-end and near the 
base. Exterior line of erect black scales, very oblique from the costal margin to vein 4, bent inwards below 
vein 3 as far as below the cell-end. then edged white outside, oblique to the inner margin. Submarginal line 
Avhitisb. bordered inside by a faded dark brown colour. The fore wing may also be suffused with dark green, 
except at the centre of the costal margin, and the black band may be absent. On the other hand, the green 
colour may be absent altogether and the ground-coloiir may be violettish silvery grey, also without a black 
band. 18—2(» mm. West xAfrica. also in India.

Prol)oscis stunted, ])al])i enormously long, thickly scaled. Antennae of $ ciliated. Body tuftless. 
Forewing rounded. Vein 3 before the angle, 4-4-5 on a long stalk, 7 4- 8 -j- 9 stalked. Veins 3 and 5 of the 
hindwing from the lower angle, 4 absent, b -f 7 on a long stalk.

7. Genus: Sarrotliripus Gtiri. 
Only tAvo of more than 30 species knoAA'n from this genus have been found in the Ethiopian Region. 
The only Eiiropean species AA'hich is distributed over nearly the Avhole Palaearctic Region, is however absent 
in Africa to the south of the Sahara, AA'hile it occurs yet on the Mediterranean Coast of Algeria near Philippe- 
A^ille. A AA'hole dozen of species are Papuan and the rest Indian. In America only the common European species 
is knoAA'u in several forms of which the greyish green lintnerana *Spr. AAutli a dark longitudinal spot at the 
centre of the costal margin predominates. A particidarly great number of Sarroth'iipus-s'pecies occur in the 
I’apuan Region. Xoaa" Guinea and the north of Australia. 
Proboscis normal, palpi far porrect, densely haired. A bair-listle betAveen the antennae. Antennae 
of d' ciliated. Metathorax AA’ith a tuft, a small tuft also at the base of the abdomen. Costal margin of foreAving 
strongly bent at the base. Vein 5 above the loAver cell-angle, the rest of the neuration normal. Veins 3 and 4 
of the hindAA'ing are coalescent almost to tlie margin, vein 5 from the cell-angle. Type: revayana Curtis from 
Europe. 
S. malachitis Hmps. (17 i). Described from a single $. Thorax pale bhiishgr;en. Abdomen pale broAA'n. 
Anterior half of foreAA’ing AA hitish and bluish green, the rest of the Aving broAAnish, someAvhat blue again only 
at the margin at A^eins 2— 4. The lines black. Interior line sharply introangular in the cell and at A^ein 1, out- 
AA’ards in the submedian fold. Ring-macula and reniform macula small, finely edged Avith black. Median line 
from the middle of the costal margin to the middle of the inner margin, qiiadrangularly excurved to the reni¬ 
form macula. Exterior line jiarallel to the distal margin, toAvards the costal margin and inwards in the sub- 
median fold, outAA’ardly angled at A^ein 1. SidAinarginal line black, dentate. Hindwing AA’hite. $ 22 mm. East Africa. 
S. mauritia Joan. (17 f). Thorax broAA nish, abdomen darker. EoreAving violettish grey, AA'ith a triangular 
black spot in the median area at the costal margin, extending to behind the exterior line. Interior line double, 
Aindulate, extra-angular beloAV the costal margin, indistinct toAA^ards the inner margin. Median line double. 
Aindulate, black. excurA^ed toAA ards the inner margin. A small Auolettish red spot at the cross-vein, AA'ith a Avhite 
hma inside. Exterior line double, exciu’A^ed beloAv the costal margin and above the inner margin, iiiAA’ards 
beloAV A^ein 4. Submarginal line AA’hite, proceeding from a black dot at the costal margin, edged AV’ith broAA'n 
inside. HindAA’ing dark broAAn. $ 22 mm. Mauritius. 
8. Genus: Oiaura Wh-. 
Proboscis normal, ])alpi thin, A^ery erect. Metathorax and abdomen in front AA'ith a small tuft. Areole 
of foreAving A’ery long. Veins 3 -f 4 of hindAA'ing stalked. Type: repletana Wh . About one third of the 17 
species knoAAn occur in the Ethiopian Region, the others in the Indo-Australian Region. The habitat of the 
ty]hcal .species. G. repletana. is unknown.

G. bostrycodes B.-Bal\ (17 f). Body yellovA’ish, foreAA'ing siR^ery AA’hite, broAA'nLsh behind the exterior 
line. Interior line far tOAA’ards the middle, finely black, dentate, double at the inner margin. A black dot at 
the loAA’er cell-angle. Exterior line fine, undulate, far excurA’ed behind the cell, then obliquely iuAA’ards; behind 
it a blackish s])ot at the costal margin. Submarginal line finely black, dentate, parallel to the margin. Hind- 
Aving AA’hite. broAA’nish at the margin, the hair-pencil black. C mm. Portuguese West Africa.
