25. Genus: Proriiacii iJmps. 
Frons with large conical ])rocess. Palpi short, jwrrect. Antennae of $ ciliate. Thorax with small tufts 
anterioily and posteriorly. Nenration normal. Ty]je: reenrrens Hmps. 
P. recurrens Htnps. (32 b). Thorax dark grey. Abdomen grey-brown. Forewings grey, dark brown in 
inner and marginal areas. A Ijlack dot at base of cell. Antemedian line irregular, with a short line anteriorly, 
that conjoins with it below costa. Median line indistinct, double at costa, oblic[ue to centre of cell, inwards at 
median nervure and vein 1 and above it outwards. At disco-cellular a white spot with a dark edged lunule. 
Postmedian line outwards below costa, angulated inwards at vein 5, bent upwards at vein 3 to lower angle of 
cell, then undulate to inner margin. Submarginal line almost straight, outwardly pale red-brown. Hindwings 
white, brownish at margin. $ 32 mm. Bechuanaland. — In sjiecimens from South West Africa, in the British 
Aluseum. the forewings are much darker. 
P. harmonica Disi. (34 a). Abdomen white-grey. Thorax and forewings grey-brown. Antemedian band 
dark, at j 3 rd of length of wing, obliquely inwards from costa, its outer edge angulated. Postmedian band simil¬ 
arly coloured, wider, commencing near anal angle, furcated at of its length. The outer branch proceeds 
to costa near apex, the inner branch is curved inwards and reaches costa near the antemedian band. Outer edge 
of the furcated band is widely violaceous brown with 2 angidations. Hindwings yellowish white with pale brown 
submarginal line. 40 mm. Transvaal. 
26. Genus: Proconis i/mps- 
Palpi erect, the third segment long and thin. Frons with a conical process. Antennae of G ciliate. Ab¬ 
domen with basal tiift. Nenration normal. Only 1 sjiecies. 
P. abrostoloides Hmps. (32 b). Body and forewings dark brown. Antemedian line black, almost straight, 
a black streak anteriorly on submedian fold. Reniform stigma large, round, wdth black edge. Median line dist¬ 
inct, vertical, angidated outwards in centre and below. A straight line proceeds from inner edge of reniform 
stigma to inner margin. Postmedian line indistinct, outwards to vein 3, then inwards to below end of cell. Siib- 
marginal line indistinct. Hindwdngs hyaline w hite, brownish at apex. In ^ tlie entire margin is narrowdy browm. 
28 mm. The Ca 2 :)e, Somaliland. 
27. Genus: Hopelotiiiia S'm'A. 
Antennae almost as long as forewings, finely ciliate in Palju somewhat less erect than hitherto. Frons 
wdth 2 )rocess. Small tufts i^osteriorly on tlu)rax. Forewings narrow. Type; carda Sw. from Australia. The only 
african sj^ecies looks very different from the 3 indo-australian. 
H. marginata Hmps. (34 a). Body ])ale brown. Forewings black-brown wdth grey scales. Inner margin 
pale red-brown, similarly in marginal area obliquely to a])ex. Below cell a dark band to submarginal line. A 
dark antemedian line is indicated, angulated outwards below cell. Median line undulate, indistinct. Postmedian 
line very indistinct, dark, incurved behind cell, oblique under vein 4. Submarginal line very indistinct, dark, 
outwardly with wdiite scales, excei)t at costa. Hindwdngs whitish, boldly brown at margin. One $ 26 mm. 
East Africa. 
28. Genus: Autliaclistis Hm.ps. 
Frons w ith conical process, Paliji j)orrect, the 2 nd segment widely Iiairy below. Antennae of d' w idely 
bi})ectinate, serrate at tijjs. Thorax Avith only a jmsterior tult. On hindwings vein 3 and 4 stalked, vein 8 an¬ 
astomosing Avith cell to centre. Ty 2 )e: metaleuca Hmps. 
A. metaleuca Hmps. (42 d). Thorax and forewdngs dark violaceous brown, dusted Avith grey. Ante¬ 
median line black, someAAdiat angulated outAvards on submedian fold. A doid)le median line is indicated. Orb¬ 
icular stigma small, grey, AAdth black edge. Postmedian line black, undulate from costa to submedian fold, uj)- 
Avai’ds to loAA’er angle of cell and then again boldly excurved. Submarginal line indistinct, branching off to ajiex, 
someAvhat angulated inw'ards on submedian fold. HindAvings AAdiite, broAvnish at margin, in $ the entire hind- 
Aving is broAvnish. 22 mm. Mashonaland. 
A. camptogramma Htnpis. (42 d). Antennae of d' fasciculate. Body and forcAA’ings jAale broAAn. Ante¬ 
median line black, vertical, someAAhat iiiAvards on costa. Median line doidrle, undulate, vertical, chdl black. 
An arched black streak at disco-cellular. Postmedian line black, boldly excurved to vein 3 and to loAA'er angle 
of cell, then vertically, Aindulate. Submai'ginal line faint, undulate. HindAvings AAhite. SiAecimens occur in 
Avhich the jAostmedian line does not extend from vein 3 to the angle of cell, but obliquely to vein 2. 22 mm.
