(= victoria Prout) is larger than the other races, rather sharply marked, the borders beneath sometimes as in 
rJiadaviaria, sometimes as in aUenuans. The shape of the postmedian line sometimes inclines towards that of 
ruginaria. Described from Natal, bnt reaches Kenya Colony. My victoria, from 8. Rhodesia, seems to be a 
$-ab. — signifrontaria Mab., from the Comoro Islands, common also at Diego 8uarez, is a small form, often as siynifron- 
weakly marked as aUenuans, the marginal spots beneath often narrowly connected proximally. 
P. pallidata Joan, is unknowm to me. From the description I should have supposed it to be a small, paUUluki. 
pale specimen of the following, perhaps with the postmedian line less deeply dentate. Eritrea. 
P. abyssiniaria Guen. (2 a). Rather variable in colour, whitish or pale olive-green or even pale fleshy uhtjssinaria 
(perhaps, as with the European Pseiidoterpna pruinata, a result of moisture) but constant in the highly dentate 
postmedian line and the suppression of the black borders beneath, only a feeble costal mark on the forewing 
at most remaining. Fairly common from Abyssinia to the eastern part of Cape Colony. I am informed by Prof. 
PouLTON that the larva bears a remarkable resemblance to a little, green grass-snake. — respondens Walk, is resiHutdenn 
a more heavily dark-irrorated form prevalent about Cape Town and perhaps to Knysna. 
P. hypoleucaria Guen. is cleaner white, the cell-mark of forewing wanting, the postmedian line less bent hypuleu- 
outward in middle, less deeply dentate. Reunion. Only known to me in one $ from Mauritius. 
P. lahayei Oberth. (Vol. 4, p. 11, pi. 1 g) is represented in Gambia by f. austrina Pront, (o a) with rather lahayei. 
larger and browner spots on the underside. austrina. 
P. recognita Saalm., (2 b). according to the figure, is considerably smaller than the other species, brownish, recoynita. 
the cell-marks scarcely elongate, the lines lunulate-dentate, not very sinuous, the postmedian accompanied 
distally by a row of small spots. Madagascar. Possibly a small Mimandria. 
2. Genus: Hiiustuclria Sivinh. 
Distinguished from Pingasa by the atrophied tongue and by having the antenna pectinate in the $ 
as well as in the S.E. Africa and Madagascar. 
M. insularis Swinh. (2 b). Greenish, easily fading to flesh-colour; outside the lunulate-dentate post- insularis. 
median line stands a row of red spots between the veins. Underside greyer, without the red spots. Madagascar. 
M. cataractae Prout (5 a). Closely related to the preceding, the wings more elongate, recalling suiiEpipristis. cafaractae. 
Whitish-grey, with darker grey and brown irroration, the outer spots much less complete than in insularis. 
brown rather than red. Victoria Falls, Rhodesia. A larger $ from Pretoria North (Transvaal) probably 
belongs here. 
3. Genus : Btlr. 
Face and vertex more rough-scaled than in most Hemithemae. Antenna in both sexes pectinate. Thorax 
and abdomen crested. Hindtibia in both sexes swollen distally, with terminal spurs only. Hindwing elongate, 
as in Mimandria cataractae, but paler or with less markings than the forewing. Endemic on Madagascar. 
S. niveus Btlr. Both wings white, though not quite pure. Markings of forewing blackish, consisting nh-eus. 
of an incomplete, very oblique subbasal line, an oblique antemedian, bent inwards between the fold and 
submedian vein, an indistinct, dentate postmedian and a row of terminal spots. 
S. nigrocristatus Prout (2 b). More irrorated with brown, tornal dots weaker, hindwing perhaps more nigrocris- 
rounded about the median veins, its postmedian line more nearly obsolete. N. Madagascar, fairly common 
about Diego Suarez. 
4. Genus: Xeuoehroma Warr. 
An offshoot of Synclysmus with smoother face, less strong crests, differently shaped wings with simpler 
pattern or with none, in either case with both wings coloured alike. Leg structure as in Synclysmus. 
X. candidata Warr. White, almost without markings; the face red. Distinguished from the other candiduia. 
species by having the hindwing angled at the 1st median vein. Antenna in $ pectinate. Described from Kilwa, 
Tanganyika Territory. Known also from Nigeria and from Portuguese East Africa. 
X. planimargo Prout (2 b). Apart from the difference in shape, this equally white species may be known planinutrgo. 
from candidata by the $ antenna, which is only weakly serrate, not pectinate. Nyasa and Rhodesia. 
X. salsa Warr. (2 b) Very distinct in being irrorated and banded with bluish green and with elongate salsa. 
green discocellular marks. $ antenna pectinate. Sierra Leone (loc. typ.), Gold Coast and Nigeria.
