34. Genus: Ericeia Wkr. 
Resembling Polydesma and formerly united under that Genus. The third segment of palpi long. Hind¬ 
legs of G to the edge of tarsi with long hairs. Middle tibiae of G with long fascicles of hairs in a groove. Type: 
inangulata On. 
E. inangulata On. As the species is found in China, it is already dealt with in Vol. 3, p. 363 and illustrated 
on pi. 66 e. It is distributed over South and East Africa, Madagascar and extends to Australia. No less than 
15 names are enumerated by Hampson in his Moths of India for this species, statina Mschlr., cafjra Mschlr., 
albangula Saahn., Uturaria Saahn., all vary only slightly or not at all. Ground colour is ochreous yellow or 
reddish. Forewings with antemedian, median and postmedian lines, generally consisting of dark dots, but also 
of single or double fasciae. Orbicular and reniform stigmata generally very faint. Submarginal line is always 
double, angulated outwards at vein 4, vertically from vein 2, expanding anteriorly and there intertilled with 
white. On hindwings submarginal line is generally as on forewings, but often without angulations; the other 
lines vary. 35—45 mm. 
35. Genus: Clycloprosopiis n. g. 
Wing contour and markings very similar to Ericeia. Antennae of ciliate. Palpi porrect, the second 
segment with uj^turned bundle of hairs on upperside, below almost forming a semi-circle by the long hairs. 
Third segment short, obese, almost covered by the hairs of tlie second segment. Legs with appressed scales. 
Neuration normal. Only 1 species. 
C. strigifera Pagst. (32 d). Forewings ochreous to postmedian line. A dark brown antemedian and also 
median line indicated, proceeding inwards. Posteriorly a dark streak on disco-cellular. Postmedian line double, 
undulate, inwards, incurved behind cell and on submedian fold, the inner branch distinct, narrow, the outer 
one wider and diffuse. Distally darker. From a|3ex a diffuse dark double line, shajoed similarly to that of E. in¬ 
angulata, with 2 black dots each above and below vein 5 in rusty red surrounds. Posteriorly somewhat paler at 
margin. Hindwings pale brown Avith obsolescent dark median band and a paler line indicated distally. G 30 mm. 
Madagascar. 
36. Genus: Eacidia IT^iT. 
The third segment of palpi porrect. Antennae of G i^ectinate in the african species. Body without tufts. 
Tibiae of (J arid $ with bold hairs. Hindwings someAvhat truncate at inner margin, thereby somewhat angulated 
at vein 2. Two indian and 5 african species are classified here. Type: vaccUlans Wkr. 
F. luteilinea Hmps. Body and wings chocolate-brown. Antemedian line oblique on forewings, ochreous 
brown. Reniform stigma as a narrow dark brown lunule. Postmedian line ochreous brown, indented behind 
the cell, then narrow, angulated inwards at vein 5 and proceeding undulate. Hindwings with ochreous grey irost- 
inedian line from cell to anal angle. 55 mm. Nigeria. 
F. vaccUlans Wkr. (42 d). Grey reddish brown. Antemedian and postmedian lines brown, narrow, 
irregular and incomplete. Near outer edge of first line a black discal sjrot. At costa near apex 3 rvliite dots. 
Frequently below vein 3, there is a blue spot or white spots near ajrex or an outer row of bhre spots. — nigro¬ 
fusca Wkr. is blackish brown. Forewings with white line at the fringes. Transverse lines blackish, dentate, 
edged with fuscous. On hindwings the outer of the tw'o lines is indicated near the anal angle. — fenestrata Mschlr. 
(= horrida Ho//., phaeophoenica Hmps.) (32 d) is dark fuscous to blackish, in paler specimens a spotted rusty 
brown postmedian line is discernible. On hindwings an outer row of white dots. On forewings below apex 1—2 
white dots. The $ is more of a red-brown. On forewings an antemedian and median line indicated by a feAv 
Avhite spots. Postmedian line of white dots, the one on costa being larger. The row of dots is situate in a rusty 
brown band. Close before it on submarginal fold a green-grey “8” shaped mark. HindAAungs with a distinct 
outer row of Avhite dots. — sassana Strd. has the white dusting more distinct at margin. — rivulosum Saalm. 
(42 d) has on forewings an inner line of Avhite double spots or annulate marks with black centres. From vein 2 
to centre of inner margin an oblique row of dots with slight rusty brown edge. At disco-cellular 2 white dots. 
Postmedian line black, dentate, with white inner and rusty brown outer edges. On the points of the angulations 
white dots. Inwardly thereof on vein 2 a round white spot. On hindwings a double row of dots. All forms 
from IVest, South and East x4frica and Madagascar. 
F. stygium Saahn. (42 d). Probably this should not be classified here, as the apex of hindwings projects 
more definitely and besides the hindwings are yellowish Avhite and only widely brown at margins. Thorax and 
forewings black-brown with violet sheen. Transverse lines black. Antemedian line at 14 length of AA'ing, vertical 
with projection on veiir 1. Reniform stigma indistinct. Median line vertical, angulated inwards on vein 1. 
Postmedian line somevdiat distally of reniform stigma, outwards to vein 6, then parallel to margin to vein 3; 
disj^laced inwards and vertically to inner margin. (^46 mm. Madagascar.
