22S HYl’AXUA; HELIOPHISMA. By M. Gaede. 
A. david HoJI. Size and shape similar to the palaearctic Jlin. hmaris (Vol. Ill, ])1. 60 e). As there is 
no coloured figure of the species, the description is somewhat unsafe. Forewing light red-brown. Interior line 
normal. Reniform macula fadedly brown. Exterior line in front as in consi>icienda and redncta, more undulated 
below vein 2. Submarginal line of black streaks, with small grey spots outside. Hindwing dull reddish brown, 
marginal half somewhat darker. — In viridipicta Strd. the forewing is darker, especially behind the middle. 
Black s])ots in front at the submarginal line, greyish green scales outside in the submedian fold. 50—65 mm. 
West Africa. Rhodesia. — camptogramnia Front shows the interior line of the forewing from 14 costal margin 
inward rectilinear to the median vein. The exterior line is more deeply undulated in front, obtusely angled 
inward in the submedian fold. It may be indentical with the earlier described inangulata Gaede (at conspi- 
cienda p. 226). 
6. iliiidwing of o beneath witJiout androconia, distal margin rounded. iMiddle tibiae of o with a cavity 
containing large scales. 
A. nocturnia Hmps.. like david. also shows the size and shape of the palaearctic lunaris. Thorax and 
forewing red-brown, margin greyish brown. Interior line indistinctly brown, edged Avith white scales, intro- 
angular at the median vein, then obliciiie. undulate. Cellular dot black, reniform macula pale, finely edged 
with black. [Median line indistinct, dark. Tindulate, from the costal margin to beloAv the cell-end, Avhere it is 
united with a similar line from the costal margin close behind the cell. Exterior line also indistinct, dark, 
edged with Avhite scales in the anterior part, dentate, excurved as far as vein 4, then oblique. A triangular 
red-brown spot before the submarginal line at the costal margin. Snbmarginal line excurved below' A'ein 7 
and in the middle. Hindwing greyish brown. — ochrascesis St7-d. has the forewdng brownish ochreous as far 
as the submarginal line, excepting the spot between the two median lines and the subapical spot. — In ochri¬ 
fusa Strd. the lines of the forewing are edged Avith ochre, the apical spot has the same colour. 45—55 mm. 
South Africa. 
A. ambigua Gerstdcker (26 a). The species is still more dissimilar to the other H«((a-species than noc¬ 
turnia. but OAving to the tibial caAdty it agrees AAith ‘nocturnia. That both are forms of a single species, as 
Straxd asserts. I do not belieA'e. ForeAA’ing A'ery dark red-broAvn. Interior line black, edged Avith dark yelloAv 
outside, notched, obliquely outAvard. Reniform macula blackish, edged dark yelloAv, surrounded by a black 
dentate line Avhich is open at the costal margin. This may be the double median line in Hampsox’s description 
oi ‘nocturnia. The black exterior line is extra-angular at A'ein 6. then iiiAvard, Avith a slight projection at vein 3. 
Rusty broAA'u streaks behind it beloAv the costal margin, then black stripes and sjAots as far as the inner margin. 
SidAmarginal line yelloAvish, undulate, interrupted. Anal angle rusty broA\n. HindAving dark broAAii. 45 to 
50 mm. Usambara. 
31. Genus: Hypanua Hmps. 
Proboscis normal, palpi projecting beyond the frons, not porrect as in Anna. Middle tibiae not hairy. 
Xeuration as in Anna. HindAving beneath Avith scent-scales in the basal area. Only 2 species in Africa, 1 in 
XeAV Guinea. Type: xylina Dist. 
H. xylina Dist. is A'ery similar to the palaearctic Minucia lunaris (Vol. Ill, pi. 60 d) in its shape and 
marking, but aboA'e Avith a reddish yelloAv ground-colour, beneath AAdiitish ochreous. Thorax and foreAAung 
yelloAvish red-broAAm. Interior line yelloAV, edged dark outside, oblic^ue, slightly undulated, steeper from A'ein 1. 
A black dot in the middle of the cell. Reniform macula large, red-broAvn, narrow er beloAv. Exterior line yelloAv, 
straight, oblic[uely iuAvard, ending near the interior line. A dark broAAUi undulate line at the margin. Hind- 
AA'ing smoky broA\n, lighter in the middle. 60 mm. >South Africa. 
H. roseitincta Hmps. Thorax dark yellow AAith a pink reflection, abdomen chrome-yelloAv. ForeAving 
dark yelloAA' AAith a ])ink reflection excejAt in the basal area, costal margin and median area, partly dusted 
dark broAvn. Interior line red-broAvn, fine, incurA'ed at the median A'ein. excurved close beloAv the cell. Reni¬ 
form macula red-broAAm. edged Avith dark broAvn, small and narroAv. Exterior line red-broAA’ii, indistinct, ex- 
curA'ed as far as A'ein 4, then more distinct, oblic^ue. Black dots at the margin. HindAving pale yelloAv, the 
margin pinkish broAvn from beloAv the apex to the submedian fold. $ 55 mm. Xatal. 
32. Genus: Ifeliopliiisiiia H^nps. 
Half a dozen rather A'ariable species all of Avhich are confined to the Ethiopian Region, particularly 
to its tropical AA'est. The genus is similar to Hypanua, also in its colouring. The middle tibiae of the have 
a cavity edged Avith scales, the middle tarsi are hairy on the first joint. ForeAving AAith a pointed apex. Hind- 
AA'ing angled in the middle. Xeuration normal. Type: croceipe^mis Wkr. Avhich Ave place here as a form to 
Idurjii Bsd. 
In the first tAA’o species tlie interior and median lines are .straight, undulate in the others. 
H. catocalina Holt. (26 b). Thorax and forewing from dark orange to light reddish broAAUi, the lines 
dark broAAir. Interior hne oblique, slightly excurved in the middle. Traces of a cellular dot. Reniform macula 
narroAv, curA'ed, indicated by dark borders. Median line straight or also feebly S-shaped. Exterior line ob-
