D. punctisignata Walk, seems to be a very rare species, indeed Walker’s type is not yet matched, putictAsif)- 
though a rather larger and ample-winged example from Nandi approximates to it. Costal edge l)lackish, the 
black dots rather strong, the sinnons postmedian series more distally placed than in most of the other species. 
“West Africa.”. 
D. mafginepunctata Basfelh. (1 b) “19 mm. Fore- and hindwings white, semitransparent, iridescent, margine- 
Small black central dots on the cross-veins; a very fine black onter-marginal line, which is strengthened by p'oaiala. 
black dots between the veins”. Founded on a $ from Angola. 
D. synecdema Prout (1 b). Distinct from all the foregoing in the strong grey-brown costal shading for synecdeina. 
dense irroration) of the forewing. Cell-dots small, but black or blackish, postmedian row of spots rather strong, 
grey-brown, not very deeply curved inwards posteriorly. Abdomen with black dorsal dots. Cameroons; similar 
forms also about I.^ake Mweru, in Uganda and Nyasa. 
D. thrombocnemis sp. nov. (1 c) is one of the smallest species and might at first sight be mistaken thromho- 
for a member of the Indian group of saponaria Gn. (Vol. 12, pi. 3 c), but has the G hindtibia much more cnemi.-i. 
swollen proximally than in any other species, recalling the 1st tarsal joint of a Gelerena, the G antenna rela¬ 
tively stout, with the ciliation very minute, the distal margin of the forewing less oblique than in saponaria. 
Cell-dots and terminal dots small, black. The usual lines present but very weak, brownish-grey, punctiform. 
Diego Suarez, N. Madagascar, a good series in Tring Miiseum, collected by G. Melou. 
D. sjbstedti Auriv. is only known to me from the figure and description and the venation is not given, sjdstedti. 
Wing-expanse nearly 30 mm. Vein-dots connected by lines, which are nearly parallel with one another and 
with the distal margin. Cell-dots small, black. Face white. Mt. Mem, at an altitude of 3f)00—3500 m. 
D. syllaria Swh. (1 c). Apex of forewing not falcate; cell-dot of forewing even more minute than in sylluria. 
synecdema, that of hindwing enlarged, somewhat angular; postmedian row of brown spots fairly large obsolescent 
in front of 1st radial of forewing, rather more deeply incurved posteriorly than in synecdenhSi. Sierra Leone and 
Ivory Coast^k 
D. jacksoni Prout. Costal margin of forewing more narrowly brown than in synecdema (lb) and jucksoni. 
syllaria (1 c), cell-dots at least as small as in the former, transverse markings shaped as in that species but 
reduced to dots. Venation of syllaria, but with the 1st subcostal not anastomosing with the 3rd. Nairobi, only 
the type known. 
D. delostigma Prout. Cell-spots nearly as in syllaria (1 c), brown costal edge and small transverse spots dclostigmu. 
(dots) more as in jacksoni. Nyasaland. 
D. puella Butl. (= larula Bastelh.) (1 c). Expanse about 30 mm. Apex acute, termen of forewing puella. 
straight, even that of hindwing less rounded than in the allies. Costal margin of forewing ochreous. Cell-dots 
very small, postmedian dots also small; traces of a greyish subterminal shade. Madagascar. 
D. iridoptera Prout (1 b). Distinguished by its extremely iridescent blnish-white wings, with the distal iridoptera. 
margin of the hindwing more rounded than in most of the allies. Antennal ciliation of the extremely short. 
Costal edge of forewing scarcely darkened; cell-dots and terminal dots small; postmedian dots even more 
minute than in jacksoni and delostigma, though slightly darker, their course little sinuate. Cameroons, French 
Congo, Kenya Colony and Nyasaland. 
D. hyperphyes Prout (1 b) is the largest species, expanding about 43 mm. Distal margin of hindwing kyperphyes. 
scarcely convex. Costal margin of forewing grey rather than brown; cell-dots moderate, black; terminal dots 
relatively large; postmedian vein-dots black, mostly not large; a dentate grey subterminal line. A mountain 
species, occurring on Mlanje Mountain, Nyasaland and the Aberdare Mountains, British East Africa. 
6. Genus: ISarrama Warr. 
Scarcely more than a section of Deixmdnla, less attenuated, the wings not iridescent, antenna dentate, 
with fascicles of very long cilia. A hindtibia not dilated. 
B. impunctata Warr. (1 c). Apart from its shape, the brown-grey tinge distinguishes this sj^ecies from impunctata 
those of the preceding genus. Moreover, the (feeble) postmedian line of the forewing is almost straight. Natal 
and Transvaal. 
7. Genus: CJoiiolophia Warr. 
Face with projecting cone of scales. Palpus long, with 3rd joint well developed. Antenna rather long, 
ciliated. Hindtibia with all spurs. Venation nearly as in Encryphia, Noreia, etc. (see Vol. 12).
