South, Soutli West and East Africa. — sennaarensis FJdr. (32 g) from The Cape has a paler central area on fore 
wings, according to the illustration. But specimens are also found at the Cape, which are very dark. 
47. Genus: Calesia Gw. 
The palpi erect, the third segment long, somewhat thicker than in Rhanido'phora (p. 285). Antennae 
of (J finely ciliate. Body withoiit tufts. Legs sjmrsely hairy. In the approximately 15 Indian species the neur- 
ation shows some variation; in tlie african species there is an appendicular cell. Type: dasyp)tera Roll, from 
India. Generally the species are common. 
1. Sj^ecies with spots on forewings as in Rhmiidoj^hoi'a. Abdomen red. 
C. zambesita Wkr. (32 g). Thorax and wings brown. On forewings a white stripe in cell, a longish spot 
at disco-cellular. A submarginal row of 8 white sjmts. On hindwings this row of sjiots occurs but they are very 
diffuse. 34- 40 mm. South, Central and East Africa. 
C. nigriannulata Hmp)S. Thorax and wings pale fuscous. A large white round spot with black edge in 
centre of cell and a similar one at lower angle of cell. In centre of inner margin white scales. Between vein 8 
and 1, there are 7 small white submarginal spots. Hindwings pale grey-brown. 36 mm. Only 1 ^ is known from 
East Africa. 
C. karschi Bartel (32 h). Thorax and wings dark brown. Both spots on forewings yellow with black 
edges. Hindwings devoid of markings. Fringes of both wings very striking by their yellow colouration. 38 to 
40 mm. Numerous specimens from Northern Nyassaland. 
C. nigriventris Auriv. (32 g). Thorax and forewings very dark fuscous, almost black. The 2 white spots 
on forewings are placed differently. A large one at lower and a small one at upper angles of cell. Fringes of 
inner margin of hindwings as red as abdomen. 35—40 mm. One pair from Madagascar. 
2. The following species have a gi’ey-brown body. 
C. fulviceps Hmps. Forewings pale grey-brown. In centre of cell and at disco-cellular in the type there 
are each 1 small white spot, otherwise generally the spot in the cell is absent. Hindwings of same colouration 
as forewings and devoid of markings. 34 mm. Sierra Leone. 
C. xanthognatha Hmps. (= othello Faivc. $) (42 e). Body and wings dark grey-brown with white scales. 
Antemedian line dark, undulate, indistinct. A dot in cell and at disco-cellular are sometimes indicated. Post- 
median line grey undulate, incurved below vein 4, absent in the illustration of othello. Submarginal line white, 
undulate. Hindwings somewhat browner. 35—40 mm. South Africa. — According to Hampson however othello 
Faivc. (J is a separate species. The differences appear to be very insignificant, othello (J has darker wings. Ante- 
median and postmedian lines are obsolete. Submarginal line consists of 7 white spots. On the other hand the $ 
(= xanthognatha) is browner, postmedian line distinct, sharply inwards on vein 3, then straight to inner margin. 
Ochreous brown indistinct submarginal spots. 40 mm. Both species (?) common in South Africa. 
C. marginata Wkr. This can also be described as a small brown othello. Both wings behind the post¬ 
median line are distinctly paler. Antemedian line angulated oiitwards below costa and about vei’tical at median 
nervure. Postmedian line obliquely from costa to vein 4, inwards along this to angle of cell, then vertically to 
inner margin. Disco-cellular whitish. Submarginal line angulated outAvards at vein 7 and 4, incurved behind 
cell and on vein 2. Hindwings with darker, almost straight postmedian line. Submarginal line pale, slightly 
incurved on submedian fold. 32 mm. Congo. 
C. phaeosoma Hm/ps. Described from India, is said to also occur in South Africa. However there is no 
specimen of it from that origin in the British Museum. 
C. arhoda Hmps. (42 e). Body and wings dark violaceous broAvn. Antemedian and median lines in¬ 
distinct on foreAvings, dark and undulate. A white dot at disco-cellular, but according to the illustration it appears 
as a black streak. Postmedian line dentate, angulated outwards behind the cell, then straightly inwards. Sub- 
marginal line is parallel thereto. HindAvings Avith traces of dark lines. 32 mm. One G from Rhodesia. 
48. Genus: Tiiioliiis Wkr. 
Palpi short and thick. Antennae of G heavily pectinate, simple in 2. Abdomen Avith faint tufts. Neur- 
ation almost normal, on foreAAAings vein 10 on a stalk with 8 and 9 and not separated from these directly from 
appendicular cell. Type: eburneigutta Wkr. from India. 
P. aethiops Grimbg. (32 h). Very similar to eburneigutta. Thorax orange-yelloAA\ Wings pale broAvn, but 
not both of the same colouration. On foreAvings a Avhite sjAot in the cell and 2 at disco-cellular. The basal spot 
is larger than in eburneigutta. Besides there are 2 sjjots, that are fainter, on inner margin and 2 on submedian 
fold. Abdomen red, without black bands. Hindwings only red at base and inner margin. 45 — 55 mm. Sj^anish 
Guinea, Congo region. Common. — lutatus Grilnbg. denominates a specimen Avhere through old age, the red hind- 
Avings appear to have turned yelloAv.
