lype: S. flexuosa Men. from Central Asia. 
S. albifasciata n. sp. (13 e). Closely resembling Aleuc. philippma Aust. (Vol. 3, p. 391, pi. 70 i). Ante- alhifn.viaia. 
median line bold, black, somewhat outwarts to subcostal vein, then straight, oblique, somewhat angulated 
inwards at vein 1. Proximally pale ochreous brown, dusted with blackish. Median line approximately 2 )arallel 
to antemedian, somewhat excurved in centre, vertical downwards from submedian fold. The band proximally 
thereof pure white, narrowly brownish at costa. Behind the white band lilac fuscous to submarginal line. Reni- 
form stigma diffusing to costa, white, still less dentate than in philippina, in its centre on costa a black dot, 
its surround anteriorly parallel on both sides, then uniformly narrower and terminating rounded off at vein 3. 
Anteriorly the ground colour is somewhat darker, outwardly it is sharply edged by black to vein 3. The sub- 
marginal line with a white spot on costa, incurved behind cell and on submedian fold, outwards to anal angle. 
On costa before and behind it blackish. Margin lilac-grey. Hindwings white, margins dusky brown, the inner 
edge straighter than in philippma and cailino. The lower edge of cell dark to marginal band. 38 mm. Somali¬ 
land. Tyjie in the British Museum. 
14. Genus: ISclciania H7 cT. 
Similar to the Genus: Banna Mr. The palpi are long, but hind legs of d are without the long hairs. 
Type: biformis Wkr. 
B. biformis Whr. (= hemodi Fid.) (42 b). Thorax green and brown, abdomen pale brown. Forewings hijormis. 
very pale green. On costa near base a large brown spot with a black streak below. Median line indistinct com¬ 
mencing at a spot on costa. Postmedian line consists of small white lunules. At apex a large fuscous spot 
with a smaller one at anal angle, edged on its inner side by a continuous black line. Hindwings yellowish, tinged 
with brown at margin. 44 mm. India, but also occurring in East Africa. 
B. euchlora Hvips. Thorax blue-green and chocolate-brown. Abdomen ochreous brown. Forewings ciichlora. 
blue-green with white scales. The chocolate-brown spot at base extends to vein 1. A dark antemedian line is 
indicated, rvith a small spot on costa, edged by white on both sides. At disco-celhdar two fuscous dots, with a 
triangular mark above on costa. A dark postmedian line indicated by an oblique streak on costa, dented in¬ 
wards behind the cell, angulated outwards at vein 6, 4 and 3, then inwards. Submarginal line black-brown, 
undulate to vein 5, then interrupted to vein 2. The margin distally is fuscous, darker at apex. Hindwings 
brown, paler at base. 49 mm. One $ from the Gold Coast. 
15. Genus: H;ilocliroa 
The second segment of palpi widely scaled, the third segment short and obese. Antennae of with 
short bipectinations to %rds of length. Thorax with wide tufts anteriorly and jjosteriorly. Abdomen without 
tufts. Tibiae with fairly long hairs. Only 1 species. 
H. equatoria Mab. (33 e). Described as a Moma owing to its green colour. Thorax anteriorly greenish, equaloria. 
the rest of the body white. Forewings pale green with dark brownish markings. The antemedian band does 
not extend to inner margin, it is interrupted by pale green in centre. Then follow 2 spots on costa and a lunule 
at disco-cellular. From the second spot the double postmedian line proceeds; there is a black s])ot distally 
of it on costa. Hindwings white, iridescent, pale brownish at margin. 42 mm. Described from 1 $ from the 
Congo, but also occurring on the Gold Coast and in Rhodesia. 
16. Genus: Eiitelepliiji//wps. 
Antennae of G fasciculate. Frons with rounded projecting process. Thorax and tibiae as in Halochroa. 
A striking tuft on second segment of abdomen, smaller tufts on the other segments. Wing contour similar to 
that of Eutelia (p. 354). Only 1 species. 
Eu. aureopicta Kenr. (42 b). Thorax bronze-coppery, abdomen roseate grey. Forewings coppery, with aurcopida. 
grey lines and brown spots. Antemedian line whitish, angulated, proximally 3 brown spots. Orbicidar stigma 
dark with white surround. Reniform stigma large, oblique, with white outline. At inner margin 3 indistinct 
brown spots. Submarginal line double, white, faintly indicated. Hindwings whitish, margin widely dusky 
brown. 30 mm. Madagascar. 
17. Genus: <.'sitep!8iaOr/w. 
The Genus Catephia is dealt with fully in Vol. 3, p. 376. There the Genera Anophia Gn. and Aedia 
Hbn. were separated from Catephia. Unfortunately Hampson subsequently assembled these 3 Genera under 
one head and thereby the number of species in this one Genus has become very great. Added to this, in Vol. 3, 
that was written by Warren, the name Catephia (with the typical species alchymista) denotes something dif¬ 
ferent to that of Hampson, who deemed A. leucomzlas to be the type and placed alchymista in the new Genus 
Mayeutica.
