S. mascula Bastelh. ( 8 h) is possibly also an aberration of the preceding, of a more greyish tone, vmficula. 
but the median shade seems more bent at the 3rd radial. On the tyjie I noted hindtarsus 1 / 5 .” Ibo, X. 
Mozambique. 
S. empera Prout (7 h). Hindtarsus of at least as short as in mascula. Very like punctislriata but cmprra. 
smaller, forewing (at least in the (^) appreciably straighter, lines weaker, often a good deal suffused, x)ost- 
median of forewing more excurved near costa, not or scarcely black-dotted on the veins. N. Madagascar. 
S. rufolutaria Mah. {= gaudialis Prout) (7 i). Hindtarsus of at least as short as in empera. Very nijolnlarkt. 
different in its cinnamon colouring, etc. Comoro Islands. 
S. aspiciens Prout (7 i). In its reddish colouring intermediate between punctistriata and rujohdaria. asplcicns. 
Forewing rather narrower; very distinct in the white scaling which borders the black cell-dot, at least 
distally. cJ hindtarsus short, bxit less extreme than in the internataria group (alxout 1 / 3 ). Madagascar. 
23. Genus: Olosisotropliia Prout. 
To this Palaearctic genus, which differs from Scopula in its long tongue, 2-spxxrred $ hindtibia and 
irregular tibial armature of the (J, I have provisionally referred one African species of which the $ is un¬ 
fortunately unknown. See Vol. 4, p. 82. 
G. natalensis Prout. Mxich like a dark (i. e. densely irrorated) form of 8. nigrinotata (hi), forewing mdalnisis. 
rather narrower, lines well expressed, fairly broad, but not especially blackened at the costa, the postmedian 
with a very deep curve inward between the radials. Tongue long, yet less extreme than in true Glo.ssotrophia; 
hindtibia with 1 spur; hindwing slightly sinuate between the radials, 2 nd subcostal very shortly stalked 
(in 8. nigrinotata separate). Natal, Mooi River, 1 
24. Genus: Zyg^ophyxia Prout. 
General aspect of narrow-winged 8terrha, in most points of structure also agreeing with section A 
of that genus, the (J, as well as the $, having 2 spurs on the hindtibia. Distinguished chiefly by the non¬ 
stalking of the 2 nd subcostal vein of the hindwing with the 1 st radial. Tongue slender. Abdoixien generally 
elongate, but fairly robust, especially in the $. A small genus, its distribution restricted to dry and 
semi-desert coxintry, chiefly in East Africa and the plains of India. 
Z. palpata Prout (8 h). Face and palpus brown, the latter much more heavily scaled than in typical paJputa. 
Zygophyxia. Wings less extremely narrow than in relictata, white with moderately dense but unevenly 
distribnted brown-grey irroration, the median shade proximal to the cell-dot on both wings, the subterminal 
strong, band-like, parallel with ternien. Hindwing with a terminal excision between 2 nd median and anal 
angle. Kenya Colony: Kibwezi, 1 
Z. tornisecta Prout (7 i). Near palpata (8 h) with a similar excision in the hindwing, bnt with the tornisccta. 
palpus not quite so robust, the wings slightly broader, of a more brownish white and with the lines more 
brownish, the median shade more distally placed, the postmedian stronger, Ixoth the subterminal shades 
present, the proximal one not so strong as in palpata. British Somaliland. 
Z. transmeata Prout (8 h). Superficially still nearer to palpata, but with the hindwing not sinuate; transmeata. 
whitish, the postmedian band slightly more sinxious, more conspicuous than any other marking. Palpus 
scarcely as strong as in tornisecta. British Somaliland. 
Z. erlangeri Prout [1 i). In structure and coloration close to reb’efata, in markings nearer to tornisecta. crtangcri. 
Only the cell-dots and the band-like outer line are distinct, both above and beneath. Hindwing not noti¬ 
ceably paler than forewing; terminal marks pnnetiform (in relictata linear); underside of palpus and of wings 
paler than in relictoto.. unfortunately unknown; a series of 10 $$ was collected by Baron C. von Erlanger 
on the Ganale River and district, the type from Djeroko, Merehan. 
Z. relictata Walk. (7 i). Recognizable by its brownish toire, with rather paler hindwing (especially relictata. 
in the $), extremely oblique central dark shade, dotted outer line, etc. Described from India but has proved 
to occur locally in Senegambia, Sudan, Kenya and Tanganyika Territory, Formosa and Queensland. 
Z. roseocincta Warr. (8 h) has a tinge of olive in the pale ground-colour and is very conspicuous roseocincta. 
in the bright rose-pink borders besides, on the forewing, a very obliqne, anteriorly forked, proximal band. 
Abdomen above tinged with the same colour. Described from Dar-es-Salaam, known also from Gambia, 
Nyasa and S. Mozambique.
