the hindwing %VTLth a similar spot at apex, thus more like f uscidorsata Prouf from India than any other African 
species, the spots brighter red, none at anal angle of hindwing. The 2nd subcostal of the forewing arises distally 
to the 5th. W. Kivu: Upper Lowa Valley, near Masisi, 5000—6000 ft. altitude, forest and long grass, Eeln-uary 
1924 (T. A. Barxs), the type only known (in coll. Joicey). 
C. punctaria Sioinh. (2f), from Madagascar, is a small species differing from all the others in having the pundaria. 
cell-spots ocellated (dull red with white pupils), the lines broken up into white dots, a row of large white terminal 
dots an the veins. 
B. Hindtibia with 4 spurs. Antenna of $ pectinate. 
C. hemictenes Prout. Very much like es^neralda and leucosjnlata (2 c) but with the terminal line swelling hemicfenes. 
at the hind angle of the forewing and at apex of hindwing. Antenna of $ with very short pectinations. Ivory Coast. 
C. flavitaenia Warr. has the white lines distinct, almost parallel (in the leucospilata group diverging fiavitaema. 
anteriorly), the terminal line simple and slender, the fringes white or creamy. Antenna of $ with moderate 
pectinations. Nigeria. Also known from Gold Coast, French Equatorial Africa and the Cameroons. — 
biviaria Hmpsn. (2 f), founded on a single $ from Ruwenzori, is an aberration, or at most a local race, with the hiviaria. 
white lines broader; the terminal line wanting, the fringe purer white than in typical flavitaenia. 
C. leucochloraria Mah. (2 f) is a beautiful and unmistakeable species, with the postmedian line con- leucochlo- 
tinued on the hindwing, on both wings curved inwards posteriorly, the distal area mixed with white. Mada- rana 
gascar. 
C. Hindtibia with 2 spurs (gen. cl i v. ?). 
C. pulchra Stgr., described and figured in Vol. 4, p. 19, t. 3 a, has subsequently been discovered in pulchra. 
Kenya Colony and Tanganyika Territory, but I have seen too little material to be able to say whether there 
is any racial modification. 
11. Genus: Oiieiliaiia Pront. 
Palpus in d (also in $ ?) short. Antenna rather short, in the d pectinate. Pectus and femora hairy. 
Hindtibia with all spurs. x4bdomen in $ very robust, in both sexes vdth small crests. Hindwing mth distal 
margin slightly ventricose but not dentate; 2nd subcostal shortly stalked, 1st median slightly or scarcely stalked. 
The build and pattern of the only known species suggests that it may have a common origin with 
ArchicMora, but it shares more of the characters of the succeeding genera. From Lopliorrhachia it differs in 
the presence of all the hindtibial spurs. 
0. multifera Prout (2 f). Remarkable for its colour, which is “buff-pink” (Ridgway, “Color Standards multifera. 
and Nomenclature”, pi. XXVIII) shaded at base and in central area with reddish, and for the numerous lilac- 
grey patches. Only a pair known, both from Shamva, S. Rhodesia. 
12. Genus: Clieroscelis Prout. 
This genus was based (Gen. Ins. 129, p. 137) on the erroneous assumption that the type species would 
prove to have only 2 spurs on the hintdibia and would be capable of including also palliata Warr. und ruhri- 
corpus Warr. As now restricted, it differs chiefly from Oneiliana in having the antenna almost simple in both 
sexes and the 1st median of both wings stalked, besides the very different coloration and probably the diffe¬ 
rent $ palpus, which is here strongly elongate. 
C. oospila Prout (2 f) with its bright green wings and ample fleshy-ochreous terminal blotches, wns oospila. 
named from its resemblance to the South American genus Oospila. The type was from the Upper Congo and 
it has since been received from the Gold Coast. 
13. Genus: l^opliorrkaeliia Prout. 
The type species of this genus is remarkable for the fact that the has 3 spurs on the hindtibia (which 
is here somewhat swollen at the end, with the single proximal spur rather near to the pair of terminal ones) 
while the $ has 2 only. In airicristata and palliata both sexes have terminal spurs only. The species show 
rather strong dimorphism, that of rubricorpus being sexual. The crested abdomen, the rather robust build, 
etc., associate them with one another and with the adjacent genera. The $ palpus, as in Gheroscelis, has the 
3rd joint elongate. The 1st median vein is stalked in the hindwing only, or in atricristata not stalked.
