Adjoiuing to it a notched white sid)marginal line. Hindwing white, tlie margin narrowly blown, 'riic shows 
yellow androconia in the cell beneath. Thorax and forewing above of $ dusted lilack. 44— 40 mm. South Africa. 
A. subligata Dist. (21 e). thorax and forewing blackish brown, abdomen orange brown with black siihi'ujdlu. 
dorsal spots. Interior line not descernible. Exterior line light, uniformly bent, more inward only at the costal 
margin. Hindwing white, narrowly blackish at the distal margin, the inner margin orange brown towards the 
base. $ body and forewing orange brown, the marking very much like that of welanopJaga $. Basal half of 
costal margin black, a large black spot behind the middle, a smaller one at the inner margin near the base, d'he 
space below the large spot somewhat blackish, the marginal area the same, both with radial black streaks. Hind- 
wdng whitish, brown at the distal margin, ochreous at the inner margin. 40 mm. Transvaal. 
A. arabica Rbl. This form may be identical with U. stertzi Fnglr. or only very slightly different from (inihiai. 
it. As it was described from the Dead Sea, it is figured in Vol. Ill (])1. 03 g) and dealt with on ]>. 320 as UIo- 
frichopus to Avhich genus it presinnably also belongs. It occurs also in Arabia. 
2. Genus: Ulotricliopiis WUgr. 
Of this genus as many sj^ecies are known as of Audea, and it is also chiefly Ethiopian, though some 
species occur in the Indo-Australian Region, while a s})ecies from Ceylon {U. rama Mr.) forms the transition 
to the northern genus CatocaJa, so that rama at first sight is scarcely discernible from a Catoc. nymjdiaea or 
conversa. In the same way as this Ceylon-form approaches some South-West European Catocala, a Formosa- 
species approximates the East-Asiatic Catocala. The genus penetrates also into the Papuan Region, and a 
species from New Guinea was even described as Catocala. One species (stertzi Pngr.) is palaearctic (cf. Vol. Ill, 
p. 320). 
Proboscis normal, palpi obliquely projecting, the second joint long-haired. Antennae of tufted. Pro¬ 
thorax with an expanded tuft. Legs thickly haired. Foiewing elongated. Cell of hindwing extending to the 
middle. Neuration normal. Type; mesoleuca. Wkr. The sexes differ less than in the preceding genus. 
U. catocala Fldr. {= caupona Mschlr.) (21 d). Thorax grey, in the anterior part as yellow as the ab- catocala. 
domen. Forewing greyish broAvn. Interior line mostly only indicated by a dark spot at the costal margin, some¬ 
times also a rusty brown one below the cell. Traces of a light spot at the cell-end and below it. A black dot 
at the base of vein 3. Exterior line black, very obliquely outward as far as below vein 6, far outward above 
and below vein 5, then very indistinct, strongly dentate, inward. Short black streaks before the margin. Hind- 
Aving orange, broadly blackisli broAAii at the margin, someAALat yelloAv at the apex. 2 Avith a more dark grey 
ground-colour, traces of a faded Avhitish submarginal line far aAvay from the margin. 50—55 mm. South Africa. 
U. ochreipennis Btlr. differs from all the others in the black marginal band of the hindAving being reduced ochrcipcnnis. 
to a broad transverse spot before the middle of the margin. Thorax violet greyish broAvn, abdomen orange. 
ForeAving like the thorax, red-broA\’n in the inner-marginal area. Interior line black, intensified at the costal 
margin, someAvhat oblique, undulate. A fine black streak at the cross-vein and aboA-e it a spot at the costal 
margin. A fine line obliqAiely iiiAvard beloAA' the cross-A’ein. Exterior line similar as in catocala. A snbmarginal 
line of Avhite sagittal blotches. Black radial streaks at the margin in the anterior part. HindAving orange, broadly 
blackish at the margin betAveen veins 6 and 2. o 5’2 mm. Madagascar. 
U. leucopasta Hmps. (21 d). Thorax blackish broAvn, abdomen orange, Avith Avhite hairs at the base. Icucopasiu. 
EoreAving dark reddish grey. Interior hue black, undidate, double, someAvhat oblicpie, filled dark red-broAvn. 
Reniform macrda indistinct, dark, edged light. A Avhite dark-edged dot beloAA' the cell-end. Median line in¬ 
distinct, dark, outAvard betAveen the reniform macula and the Avhite dot, then bent iiiAvard. Exterior line as 
in catocala, Avhite before it, dentate, then more distinct than in catocala, obliquely iiiAvard, edged Avhite outside. 
Submarginal line of Avhite dots Avith black streaks outAvard. HindAving pale yelloAv, darker toAvards the inner 
margin. Distal margin blackish. 44—46 mm. South Africa. 
U. glaucescens Hmps. (21 f) is very similar to leucopasta. Thorax blackish broAvn, abdomen orange, (jlaaccaccnn. 
broAvn at the end. ForeAving dark red-broAvn Avith a green reflection. Interior line someAvhat steeper, its in¬ 
terior branch someAvhat indistinct, otherAA'ise as in leucopasta. Reniform macida feebly red-broAA'ii, edged Avith 
black. A blackish line from the light spot below the cell-end to the inner margin. Exterior line black, oblicpiely 
outAA^ard as far as vein 5, then notched, iiiAvard. Submarginal line double, black, the exterior branch dentate, 
behind it black streaks to the margin. HindAving as in leucopasta. $ 44 mm. Natal. 
U. catocaloides Strd. $ similar to catocala (21 d), but the inner margin of the foreAving is A'ehmty black, ratocaloklcs. 
sharjAly edged, Avith Avhite scales at the base, extending to the light submarginal line. Apical area blackened 
and distinctly defined, 11 mm long at the costal margin. Broadly light beloAV it from the nnddle of the costal 
margin to the distal margin. Mdiite marginal dots, black inside. Belgian Congo. 
U. primulina Hwiqj-s. (21 e). Body as in glaucescens. ForeAving dark red-broAAia. Interior line black, double, iiruuulinu.
