the lorewing l^efore the triangle at the inner margin as far as the comma-mark. Interior and median lines 
indiscernible. Exterior line marked by a very indistinct whitish fine line. Hindwing uniformly dark, only 
the fine exterior line present. Both wings with fine Avhite snbmarginal dots. 75—95 mm. Madagascar. 
14. Genus: IDiitomogratiiiiia Gn. 
Only one of the 4 very variable species of this genus is Ethiopian, the others are Indo-Australian. 
The typical species, E. jautrix, is locally very common in grassy places of China, but jirobably it penetrates 
but rarely into the palaearctic part of the Chinese Empire (cf. Vol. Ill, p. 320 and pi. 58 c). The imagines 
easily rise from the ground, Avhere they rest, also in the day-time, but like most of the Catocalinae they soon 
settle doAAUi again. — Proboscis normal, palpi reaching the frons, the second joint very hairy. Antennae of 
d' typically AA'ith cilia and bristles, in the only African species serrate and tiifted. All the tibiae spined. Fore- 
Aving AAuth a pointed apex. Neiiration normal. 
E. pardus Gn. (= panthera E/f?r., anteponens Wkr.) (23 a). Thorax greyish ochreous, abdomen yelloAv. 
ForeAA’mg greyish ochreous, marginal area darker brown. Intel ior line blackish, extra-angular beloAA" the costal 
margin, then straightly iiiAA^ard. A black luna at the cross-A^ein. Median line from behind the middle of the 
costal margin outAA^ard to the discal fold, then straight, feebly double to the centre of the inner margin; a rusty 
liroAvn line from the apex to its angle. Tavo parallel oblicpie lines behind it at the costal margin, from the upper 
one of AA'hich the yelloAA' distinct straight submarginal line proceeds. HindAAdng similarly coloured, but somewhat 
orange at the costal and inner margins. Interior line dark, feebly double, straight. Submarginal line yellow, 
slightly cui'A^ed. An undnlate i’oaa' of dark dots in the median area betAV’een them. There are also darker, 
someAA'hat AUolettish-broAAm specimens; the space betAA^een the median and submarginal lines may be as dark 
as the margin. They are named: venustra Wkr. and pardalis Saahn.; it may not ahvays be possible to separate 
them strictly. In pseudopardnlis Sfrd. the luna at tlie cross-A^ein is large. 35—45 mm. Throughout Africa, 
also in Madagascar. 
15. Genus: £iimoiioclia Wkr. 
About 10-12 of the more than 30 forms belonging to this genus are knoAA ii from Africa, the others 
are Indo-Australian; quite a number of forms, most of AA'hich. hoAvever, seem to be colouristic variations of 
very feAv species, live in Central China and Cashmir, Avhere they may cross the palaearctic frontier, as they 
also do in Japan, for Avhich reason many of them have been dealt AAuth and figured in Vol. Ill (p. 324). Above 
all, this genus exhibits an enormous A-ariability, and of the typical species alone five different forms have 
therefore been figiired in Vol. Ill (pi. 59). The African forms also vary to a great extent; of capensis Ave have 
enumerated quite a number of A^ery different forms Avhich, hoAvever, are regarded as distinct species by other 
authors. There Avas also rather an uncertaint 3 " as to AAdiether some of the species belonged to this genus, and 
species of A'eiy different looks, such as the large megalesia and the quite bone-Avhite allardi, had formerly been 
assigned to other genera. — Proboscis normal, palpi highly erected, the second joint thickly haired. Antennae 
of o tjqAically serrate and tufted. All the tibiae spined, anterior tibiae long-haired, in the the hind tibiae 
and tarsi are long-haired onB’ in the typical species. ForeAving Avith a pointed apex, neuration normal. Veins 3 
and 4 of hindAA’ing from the loAA^er cell-angle, 5 a little above it. Type: pudens Wkr. 
1. Antennae of J pectinated outside, tufted inside and at the tips. Anterior tibiae AAdth a long hair- 
pencil. Apex of forewing A'ery prominent. 
E. megalesia Mah. (= bosei Saalm.) (23 c, d). Thorax ochreous, abdomen j^ale yelloAv. ForeAA'ing pale 
ochreous. Interior line marked by a broAAui streak at the costal margin and 2 dots farther doAviiAvard. A faint 
red-broAvn hma at the cross-vein. Median line with a dark broAAOi spot at the costal margin, then very thin, 
red-brcAA’ii as far as vein 3, far excurved betAveen. Exterior line broAAur, obliquely outward as far as vein 6, 
then light, straight, inAvards, Avith black points on the veins inwards. A doAible broAvn line from the apex to 
•^5 of the inner margin. HindAving pale ochreous, a red-broAvn antemedian shadoAV. Exterior line straight, 
broAAm, double. $: the interior line on the forewing extends to A^ein 1, the black dots at the exterior line are 
absent, and the shadoAV at tlie inner margin is absent, too. Median line recognizable on the hindAving. 96 to 
llUmm. Madagascar. 
2. Antennae of q serrate and tufted. ForeAA'ing not so ])ointed. Abilomen of ^ AA’ith a long anal tuft. 
E. capensis H.-Schdff. (23 a). The species described In' H.ampson: occklentaHs, plumbefusa, pulverulenfa, 
and endoxantlm are probably identical AA’ith capensis or only subordinate forms. The species is extraordinarih' 
A’ariable in both marking and colouring. Hampson, for instance, figures capeiisis AA'ith a light not Amdiilated 
exterior line on the hindAving, Avhile Herrich-Schaffer’s original figure sIioavs it black and someAvhat undu¬ 
lated. OAving to which fact Aurivillius considers capensis Hmps. to be a different species AA’hich he names 
hampsoni Avr. (23 a, b). But he thinks occidentalis Hmps. and capensis H.-Schdff. to be probabty one and 
the same species, although the figure of occidentalis Hmps. exhibits the line on the hindAving undulated but 
Avhite, and the interior line on the forcAving much more dentate. - Descriptioii of capensis A. Thorax and
