spots with red-yellow edge. Postraedian line red-yellow, dentate, boldly incurved under vein 4. Submarginal 
line dentate, diffuse. Hindwings golden yellow. 34—40 mm. Central and East Africa. 
R. septipunctata B.-Bak. (34 c). This species, that was described as an Agarisfidae, varies considerably 
from the others. Thorax yellow. Abdomen rose. Wings dove-grey. Forewings darker. Besides the 3 spots 
of the other species, there is a further spot over end of cell, one below centre of cell and two more, one each 
at 14 inner margin. Hindwings somewhat roseate at base and inner margin. 50 mm. One B from the 
Congo. 
51. Genus: I^epifllojjalpia 
Differing completely from the preceding Genera. The third segment of jmlpi is long, scaled anteriorly 
and j)osteriorly. Frons without crest. Antennae of B with long pectinations, ciliate in $. Apex of forewings 
round. Neuration normal. Type: hicolor Mab. described as an Arctia. 
L. bicolor Mab. (34 c). Forewings wliite with 2 black bands. Median band very wide, blue-black and 
rusty l)rown, obsolete in centre. The other band before the margin, formed of blue-black dense scales, outer 
edge very sharp. Hindwings yellow, devoid of markings. Madagascar. 
L. hypsoides Btlr. This is i^erhajjs a poorly marked bicolor. The spot at the disco-celhilar is black, besides 
there are a few subapical spots present. Madagascar. 
L. lambertoni Oherih. This was already dealt with in Vol. 14 imder the ThaumetojJoeidae on p. 398 and 
illustrated on pi. 68 b, A\ here, according to its appearance, it seemed to belong. 
52. Genus: Auclieiiisa i7o/k 
Close to Trisnla. Palpi oblic[ue, fairly short. Antennae of B $ bipectinate, the tips being simple. 
Thorax with anterior and ])osterior tufts. Abdomen with tufts on tlie 3 first segments. Neuration normal, but 
on hindwings vein 8 anastomoses a little further with the cell. 
A. schausi Roll. (34 c). Thorax jiale olive-green. Abdomen olive-brown. Forewings olive-green with 
white scales. The antemedian band is wide, black, greenish under the cell, edged by irregular white lines. Reni- 
form stigma green with black edge, Iffacldsh distally of its lower end. Postmedian line heavy, black, with white 
inwardly, obliquely to vein 4, then incurved, deeply dentate, enwidened at costa and somewhat green. Sub¬ 
marginal line white and indistinct. Hindwings white tinged brownish at margin, with black sjDots. 80 mm. 
Sierra Leone. 
A. callipona B.-Bak. (34 d). Resembles schausi, but median area is green. Thorax greenish white, ab¬ 
domen grey-black. Forewings white with green scales. Antemedian line black, interrupted. Median line black, 
heavily dentate, with white outer edge, green in between. Postmedian line black, undulate, dentate, with white 
edge on both sides. Reniform stigma black. Distally of j^ostmedian line greenish, margin widely white, black 
below vein 2 and at vein 5. Hindwings white, with a grey outer line in $, apex grey. 50—55 mm. Angola, 
Gold Coast, Cameroons. 
53. Genus: Trisiilsiita B.-Bak. 
Palpi attenuate. Antennae of B as in Auchenisa, fasciculate in 9- Abdomen with basal tuft. Forewings 
long and narrow. On hindwings vein 6 and 7 stalked. Type: senex B.-Bak. 
T. senex B.-Bak. (34 d). Body and forewings yellowish white. From centre of inner margin an inverted 
“V’ shaped black mark, from the point of which the blackish median line extends. Reniform stigma with black 
outline, distally of it to postmedian line dark grey. The latter blackish, irregular, dentate. Hindwings whitish 
at base, margin grey. 46 mm. A pair from Angola. 
T. cerurodes Hmps. (42 f). Body and forewings brownish white. Black streaks at inner margin to centre 
and on vein 1. x4ntemedian line as a black spot on costa and as a faint line to submedian fold. At disco-celhdar 
a black spot, widely edged with white. Behind the cell and between vein 6 and 2 black. The postmedian line 
double, the outer branch black, the inner one brown, with a brown spot on costa, undulate, parallel to margin. 
Hindwings white with black hmule. 32 mm. Described from 3 BS from Somaliland. 
T. berenice Faivc. (42 f). The thorax anteriorly and the posterior tip of abdomen creamy white, the 
rest fuscous. Forewings creamy white. Dark brown at base to centre of inner margin. Two fuscous sjiots on 
costa, from which traces of an antemedian and postmedian line proceed. Hindwings somewhat whiter. A dark 
streak at disco-cellular, fuscous marking at anal angle. The $ is paler. The black postmedian line is distinct on 
forewings. An indistinct fuscous submarginal line on Inndwings. 50 mm. West and East Africa. 
54. Genus: Amblyprora R.-Ra/t’. 
The palpi erect, attentiiate, the last segment elongate. Antennae of B simple. Abdomen with 5 tufts. 
The legs densely liaicy. Forewings very wide, dented inwards on costa, apex truncate, margin bulging widely 
outwards. Neuration closely resembles that of Auchenisa. Type: acholi B.-Bak. The other species were des¬ 
cribed as Trisula.
