outward, extending for some distance outwardly at the median vein. A fine streak at the cross-vein. Ex¬ 
terior line somewhat concave in the middle of the cell and at vein 2, convex at the cell-angles. Submarginal 
line composed of black dots mostly only in the anterior part. Hindwing dia])hanous whitish, with a faint 
yellow or reddish tint, always much lighter than in the other species. — pallescens Sird. is jjale brownish 
ochreous, not reddish. — lubinata Strd. is similar. The lines are more distinct, the submarginal line complete, 
a brown spot at the margin behind the middle of the cell. — lubinatula Sird. is light red-brown, with distinct 
lines and a luna at the cross-vein. — lubinatella Sird. besides shows blackish brown dusting at the inner margin 
of the forewing near the anal angle and behind the cell. — In lubinatoides Strd. the dark dusting at the inner 
margin extends from the first interior line to the second exterior line. All these names refer to West and 
South African specimens. The species occurs, however, also in masses in East Africa. On regarding larger 
numbers it is distinctly shown that the East Africans are more inclined to yellow colouring, the West Africans 
more to grey colouring, according to which the names orientalis and occidentalis Gaede were given. — Specimens 
exhibiting a dark reniform macula are called signata Gaede. — bifasciata Gaede (20 b) denotes specimens in 
which the double interior and exterior lines are filled with dark. West African s})eciniens also show the middle 
at the distal margin darkened as far as the exterior line (hifascialis Gaede), producing a distant resemblance 
to semicircularis Strd. 28—32 mm. Throughout Africa. 
M. bilineata Gaede resembles arcuata by the light hindwing. Forewing violettish brown. The interior 
and exterior lines indistinct, double, filled with white, hardly undulate. The interior one shghtly oblique, 
feebly bent. The exterior line somewhat more bent behind the cell, then parallel with the interior line. A dark 
cellular dot between them. Submarginal line marked by a few dots. $ 22 mm. East Africa. 
M. semicircularis Strd. (18 h). Forewing grey with a brownish violet touch, the markmg dark brown, 
very indistinct. Interior line double, rather vertical, hardly undulate. A violettish black band bent dowm- 
ward from behind the middle of the costal margin to the distal margin below the apex, with rusty red scales 
below, more feebly continued to the anal angle. Below the band the double exterior line is only indicated, 
about vertical to the inner margin. A fine dark streak at the cross-vein. Submarginal line only indicated in 
front by black dots. Hindwing copper-brown. Distinguished from bifasciata by the short submarginal line, 
dark hindwings and larger size. — umbrata Strd. lacks the violettish black band on the forewing, the trans¬ 
verse lines are still more indistinct. 28—30 mm. Cameroons. 
7. Genus; Microzada 
Proboscis normal, palpi thin, erected to the frons. Antennae of (J strongly pectinated, ciliated at the 
tips. Abdomen with a basal tuft. Forewing: veins 7 + 10 -f 8 + 9 stalked. Hindwing: veins 3 + 4 on a 
long stalk, 5 arises from the cell-angle, 8 branches off near the base of the cell. Type: anae7nica Hinjis. Only 
two species, both from Africa. 
M. anaemica Hiyips. Body pinkish white. Forewing violet ])ink with a green reflection. Interior line 
fine dark, extra-angular at the median vein, then inward. A black dot in the middle of the cell, a black luna 
at the cross-vein. Exterior line indistinct, edged with white oiitside, slightly concave behind the cell, then 
inward parallel with the interior line. Submarginal line whitish with black dots outside. Hindwing white, 
with a faint violettish red touch except at the inner margin. Exceptionally also somewhat reddish flesh- 
coloured instead of white, though this may be another species. cJ 18 mm. West Africa. 
M. subrosea E. Front. Distal margin of forewing slightly cut out. A pinkish ochreous spot behind 
the cross-vein. Hindwing darker reddish than in anaemica. Interior line with more notches than in ayiaemica. 
Only the costal margin is dusted with green and besides the space between the exterior line and the sub¬ 
marginal line. Otherwise exactly like anaemica. Described according to a single from Sao Thome. 
8. Genus: Aeripia Wkr. 
Proboscis normal, palpi reaching the frons, a basal tuft on the abdomen. Antennae of ciliated. 
Forewing broad, the costal margin very much bent forward at the base, apex pointed, the margin below it 
cut out. Areole present. Neuration of hindwing normal. Type: suholivacea Wkr. All the 7 species of the genus 
are from Africa, and only 1 or 2 specimens of each were known when the diagnose was written. 
A. scapularis Fldr. (19 b). Thorax red-brown, abdomen greyish brown. Forewing greyish brown, dust¬ 
ed with brown. A red-brown spot at the base at the costal margin. Median area red-brown and striated 
blackish-brown. The interior edge of this area in the cell and above vein 1 bent to the base. The exterior edge 
oblique, extra-angular behind the cell-angles and above the inner margin. Hindwing reddish brown, white 
at the costal margin. $ 35 mm. Cape Colony. 
A. subolivacea Wkr. (= marginea F(dr.) (19 a). Body brownish white, forewing the same and stria¬ 
ted lighter or darker brown. A round black dot with a white centre-dot is at the cross-vein. A line of black 
double dots indicated from the costal margin behind the middle to the margin at vein 4. then vertically on. 
Hindwing brownish white with a dark streak at the cross-vein. 39 mm. Cape Colony.
