A. chloridina Hmps. (33 i). Body and wings ochreous and brown. Forewings also dusterl witli daik rhiorUlinn 
brown, creamy white distally of centre to the ])rown band before tlie sid)inarginal line. Antemedian line dark 
brown, nndulate. A faint dark luiude at disco-cellular. Postmedian line with 2 black dots at costa, then indistinct, 
excurved to vein 4, then more distinctly inwards, excurvefl at vein 1. The submarginal line daik brown, dentate. 
Hindwings darker at margin. 22—25 mm. Transvaal, also from South West Africa. 
23. Genus: I*ri«iioir<nilisi 
Palpi highly erect. Frons with serrate projecting process. Antennae of with short bipectinations. 
Abdomen with large dorsal tufts. Hindwings with short scaly lobe. Ty])e: ery(jidia Hmps. 
P. erygidia Hmps. (33 i). Body and forewings grey-brown, dusted with black. Forewings may be almost erijiihJui. 
devoid of markings and dusky, with a black line on sul)median fold or a deep black oval spot below the cell. 
Numerous indistinct lioldly undidate transverse lines. Near base an ochreous brown s])ot above vein 1, jmstei - 
iorly a large fuscous patch, projecting outwards. Hindwings ochreous brown, darker at margin. 3r) mm. Natal. 
P. strigata Hmps. (33 i). In this and the following species, body and forewings are reddish brown, dusted slrUjaUt. 
with black. Antemedian line black, doidjle, the inner branch indistinct, somewhat oblique and sinuate. On 
sidmiarginal fold anteriorly a black streak. A black dot in centre of cell, a triangular spot at lower angle of cell. 
A median line is indicated. Postmedian line black, oblique to vein 5, then excurved, from below vein 3 upwards 
to lower angle of cell, approximating to antemedian line on vein 1, then outwards. From apex 2 oblique black 
streaks and anotlier below vein G through the ]jostmedian line. Hindwings ochreous white, browner at margin. 
30 mm. One $ is known from the Transvaal. 
P. nyctiscia Hnips. (33 i). Somewhat darker than strigata. Antemedian line of forewings also black, nycliscia. 
double. A black streak from centre of costa. Reniform stigma with narrow black edge. Postmedian line in¬ 
distinct, black, similarly curved as in strigata. The line jn-oceeds from vein 3 to origin on vein 2, then vertically 
on. Submarginal line consists of black and white streaks. Hindwings pure white, the hairs yellowish at inner 
margin. 24 mm. One q from East Africa. 
P. ochrosia Hmps. (33 i). Body and forewings pale brown and whitish. Antemedian line double, dark, ochroski. 
undulate, with a faint dark shade anteriorly. Reniform stigma narrow, with black edge. Median line indistinct. 
Postmedian line similarly indistinct, double, incurved below vein 4 to under reniform stigma, then obliquely 
inwards. Submarginal line white with dark edge, incurved at vein 2. Hindwings white, narrowly broAvn at 
margin. The 3 ', just like the nyctiscia 5 ', has a black streak before the antemedian line. Hindwings only have 
a black marginal line. 2(5 mm. Soudan, Aden. 
24. Genus: CJrioiiica 
Palpi erect. Frons with rounded process. Antennae of $ ciliate. Abdomen with 2 basal tufts. Neur- 
ation normal. Type: cervicornis Fawc. 
C. cervicornis Fence. Body and forewings ]jale giey, faintly suffused with rose. Antemedian line indie- cervicornis. 
ated by a few dark marks. Orbicular stigma with black edge, black central spot. Rejiiform indistinguishable. 
Postmedian line as a double row of dots parallel to margin. A wide dark brown band from base of wings below 
cell to end of cell, there forming a dentation upwardly and contimung to margin at vein 4, incurved in between. 
Below this band towards base somewhat reddish. Hindwings grey-white, browner at margin. 3(5 mm. East 
Africa, Rhodesia. 
C. incurvata n. spec. (34 a). Forewings very pale violaceous brown. Below cell a narrow black line, as incun-ctia. 
in cervicornis, without a hook, only curved more downwards before outer margin. Above this line narrowly 
paler. In outer area a few black radial lines. Below the line a short black double line in centre to inner marg¬ 
in. Postmedian line as a double row of black dots, anteriorly to it a short double cuived streak below the 
radial line. Hindwings white. $ 25 mm. East Africa. Type in the British Museum. 
C. diversipennis 71 . spec. (34 a). Forewings brownish, widely blackish at costa. Through the cell to the diversi- 
margin at vein 5 there is a black line, heavier in centre. Above it at margin 2 short lines, edged by a short pennis. 
white oblique line from apex. Above inner margin a thicker line, similar to that of cervicornis, with angulation 
upwards, but interru23ted by the w hite submarginal line. This forms a jnojection inwards just on the heavy black 
line. Fringes heavily sjjotted wdth black. Hindwings white, with hue black marginal dots. mm. South 
West Africa. Type in British Museum. 
C. bifurcata n. spec. Both wings grey-brow-n. Radial line distinct though fine. The one branch of the hifnrcata. 
subcostal nervure is faintly furcated at i/^rd of its length, the other to the origin of vein 3, extending beyond 
vein 4 and rising in stejJs to outer margin, just below ajjex. Hindwings greyer. mm. Tyi^e in the British 
Museum.
