Forewing greyish brown, here and there with a dark violettish brown tonch. The base reddish yellow from 
tlie costal margin to vein 1. Interior line faded dark, extra-angular at the median vein, inward above it and 
lielow it. A small greyish brown spot in the middle of the cell, and a larger one at the cross-vein with a 
white central dot. Somewhat greenish behind and below the cell-end. Exterior line indistinct, extra-angular 
behind the cell-angles and above the inner margin, inward towards the costal margin. Submarginal line un¬ 
dulate, ending at the anal angle. Apical area yellowish green, brown l^elow' it. Hindwing pale reddish brown.

A. chloropera Hmps. (ISh). Body and forewdng dark chocolate browm, with a violet reflection and 
dark streaks. A black dot in the middle of the cell, a round spot with a white streak inside is at the cross¬ 
vein. The latter spot situate on a light Ijand extending in a bow from the middle of the costal margin to the 
anal angle, with a branch to the middle of the inner margin. Costal margin near the apex somewhat green. 
Hindwing paler than forewing. $ 30 mm. Caj^e Colony. 
A. setniviridis Hmps. (18 h). Thorax and forewing pale green, somewdiat browmish, with fine pale 
streaks, with hardly any marking. A faint oblique shadow from the costal margin to vein 6, replacing the 
exterior line, and a submarginal row of black dots, excurved below' the costal margin and in the middle. Ab¬ 
domen and hindwing jjale reddish brown. 26—28 mm. South Africa. 
A. kilimandjaronis Sfrd. (18 d). Thorax and forewdng unicoloured dark red-browm wdth a few light

margin cerise. Interior line marked by a yellow spot at the costal margin. Exterior line from the costal 
margin to vein 6 obliquely outward, formed of yellow sjiots, then faint greyish wdiite dots wdrich become more 
distinct towards the inner margin, extending parallel wdth the distal margin. A little below' the centre, the 
cerise margin is interin]h.ed by the ground-colour. Hindwdng copper-brown. 25 mm. Cameroons. This is 
the only Acripia from West Africa. 
9. Genus: Ciroiiioealpe Hmps. 
Proboscis normal, palpi highly erect, antennae of $ almost plain. Thorax wdth a sharj) crest, abdomen 
with basal tufts and a parted anal tuft. Forewdng with a pointed apex and an angle at vein 4. Veins 10 
8 + 9 stalked, without an areole. Hindwdng normal. Remarkable is the silvery silky lustre of this genus and 
the followdng genus. Type: sericeaUs Hmps. The latter and two other African species form the genus. Only 
1 or 2 specimens of each species exist in the British Museum. 
G. sericealis Hmps. Thorax grey, abdomen wdiitish. Forewdng silvery wdth a golden gloss, strewui wdth 
black scales. Interior line double, distinctly filled wdth white, obliquely outward, somewdiat undulate. The

Hindw'ing pale yellow. $ 24 mm. (Natal.) 
G. leucotrigona Hmps. Body reddish brown. Forewdng w'hite with few blackish-brown scales. The 
median and marginal areas form a silvery greyish brow'n triangle from the apex to vein 3, wdth a conspicuous 
silvery Avhite s])ot at the costal margin from the exterior line to the apex. Interior line fine brownish, oblique 
as far as the submedian fold. Traces of a dark spot at the cross-vein. Exterior line Avhite, bordering on the 
flark median area, very oblique and pointeflly projecting as far as vein 6, bent inw'ard below' vein 3. Fine 
brown submarginal spots between veins 7 and 4. Hindw'ing reddish brow'n. $ 28 mm. Cameroons. 
G. heteromorpha Hmps. Body and forewing golden brow'n. Interior line blackish brown, edged white 
inside, oblique, undulate. Reniform macula edged black, small, elli]3tical. Exterior line blackish, edged w'hite

10. Genus: Pliisiocalpe//o//. 
Proboscis normal, palpi reaching frons. Antennae of d ti^dted. Middle tibiae with long hairs. Ab- 
flomen with small tufts at the base. Forewing with a round costal margin, inner margin curved, with a dent 
of scales at the anal angle. Forewing with a normal areole. Neuration of hindw'ing also normal. Type : pallida 
Holl., besides one more species. This genus and the following one resemble shoi't-w'inged Piusia.
