54. Genus: Onamptoiiyx Hmps. 
The marking of the typical species similar to the species of the ])rece(ling genus. Anterior tibiae short, 
with a long claw inside and a short one outside, instead of 2 short claws outside. Palpi somewhat shorter than 
hitherto, obliquely projecting. The three species known occur in the eastern jjarts of Africa. The typical 
species (vilis) is distributed as far as India. 
G. vilis Wkr. (30 f). Thorax and forewing brownish white, with darker bands. Interior line black, c/'/ts-. 
undulate, vertical, dark brown before it. The ring-macnla is a black dot. Reniform macula white, indistinctly 
edged wdth black, white before it at the costal mai'gin. An undulate exterioi’ band behind it, very broad at 
the costal margin and enclosing a pale spot. This exteri(jr l)and is united with the likewise broad median band 
at the inner margin, forming a somewhat darker spot. Margin whitish with light reddish bi'own sjjots. Hind- 
wing brownish white with a double median and exterior line, the margin somewhat reddish. - In devittata ilrriiiata. 
Sfrd. the light ground-colour behind the interior line aufl the reniform macida are darkened. The hindwing 
lacks the brightening between the median and exterior lines. 28—32 mm. 8\idan, Somaliland, Arabia, India. 
G. obsoleta Hmps. (30 f). Body and forewing pale red-brown. Traces of an iindvdate brown interior ohsoleta. 
line. A dark streak is traceable at the cross-vein. An undulate dark median line is sojnewhat moi'e distinct. 
Traces of an undulate submarginal line with a whitish streak from the costal margin. Hindwing pale reddish 
brown, a light exterior line in dark surroundings. $ 24- mm. Pei’im, thus right in front of the African coast. 
Only this one specimen is known. The following species may be only an indistinctly marked form iA' obsoleta. 
G. linibalis Strd. As only 1 specimen of limbalis is known and thus nothing can be said about any limtiaUft. 
variations, we do not know whether it is entitled to be called a s])ecies. Forewing dark refldish bi'own. An 
oval rusty brown spot at the cross-vein is edged with black inside and outside, the intericjr edge seems to ex¬ 
tend obliquely inward to the costal margin. Distal margin broadly rusty brown, dentately borderefl inside. 
Hindwing dark orange, an almost square black spot at the apex. Both wings beneath somewhat lighter than 
the hindwing above, without any marking. 9 25 mm. Madagascar. 
55. Genus : Clytie Hbn. 
The genus contains quite a number of palaearctic species (aboiit 10) occurring on the more or less 
desert-like stripe from Tiirkestan to Algiers. They have been dealt with in Vol. ITT, p. 330. For the present 
volume only two species are to be mentioned. Type: ilhtnaris Him., from Southern Europe. 
C. euryphaea Hmps. is presumably somewhat like the Indian devia Sirh. dealt with in Vol. XI. Thorax cunjphaca. 
whitish ochreous, forewing creamy white and grey, marginal area bluish grey. Interior line blackish, slightly 
undulated, rather oblique as far as the submedian fold. The ring-macula is a white, dark-edged dot. Reni¬ 
form macula greyish brown, edged with dark brown, 8-shaped. Exterior line beginning with a black streak 
at the costal margin, then indistinctly double, slightly undulated, obliqiiely inward below vein 4. Submarginal 
line edged with black in front inside, white outside, excurved below vein 7 and filled witli black there inside, 
then white, edged with brown on both sides, undulate. Hindwing creamy white, the Ijroad margin dark l)rown, 
with a narrow light submarginal band. ^ 54 mm. Arabia. 
C. sancta Stgr. (Vol. Ill, ])1. 62 b) chiefly occurs in Algiers and Egypt, but it occurs also to the south 
of the Sahara, thus in Ethiopian districts. Cf. Vol. Ill, p. 337. 
56. Genus: Pericyma i/.-Sc/ni//. 
Here we find exceptionally tufts on the thorax in front and behind, the abdomen also showing a series 
of tufts, the middle ones of which are somewhat larger. Tibiae of very hairy. Only the middle tibiae spined. 
Type: albidentaria Frr. (Vol. Ill, pi. 62 d) from the eastern palaearctic district. About half of the species are 
African, the others Indian; 3 forms reach the palaearctic region. 
P. turbida BtJr. (30 g). Forewing beneath in the basal half and the whole hindwing of the covered iurlnda. 
with androconia. Body and forewing brownish ochreous, slightly tinged with violettish grey. Interior line 
black, double, dentate, inward, filled with dark. The ring-macula is a fine yellow dot. Reniform macula in¬ 
distinct, edged with brown, filled with red-brown. Median area with 3 fine red-brown undulate lines, turned 
inward. Exterior line distinctly black, outward as far as vein 6, parallel with the margin as far as vein 4, then 
inwardly removed, darker red-brown before it in the anterior part. Marginal area pale red-brown inside, grey 
outside. Hindwing with numerous parallel dark lines and a black submarginal line. ^ 45 mm. Rodriguez. 
Only 1 specimen known. 
P. umbrina Gn. (Vol. Ill, ])1. 62 d). The species being known from Cashmere, Sikkim and India has nmhrlna. 
been dealt with in Vol. Ill, p. 338, in the genus Alam.is, together with all its forms. As 1 ^ has become known 
from Kedai in East Africa, it must also be mentioned here. It is similar to p^olyfp'amma (30 g) on the forewing, 
blit the exterior line is not so strongly introangular behind the cell, and below vein 4 there is also a small 
angle at vein 3. Submarginal line of hindwing not so conspicuous. Beneath the base of the fore wing is long¬ 
haired on the forewing in the ^ and the whole hindwing is covered with androconia. —; A specimen which 
may belong to the form albicincta Gn. (30 g) is before me from South-West Africa. Forewing dark red-brown, alhicincia.
