78 STERRHA. By L. B. PRorT. 
sharp projection of the postinedian line on the 1st radial. Underside without distinct markings, except the 
rather large cell-dots. 
lq)ora. S. Hpara Front (8 1). Affinities uncertain. Rather broad and round-winged, the markings slightly 
reminiscent of eugeniita Mill. (Vol. 4, p. 121); less reddish, the dark irroration red-brown, but very fine and 
sparse; forewing beneath nearly as above, paler at hindmargin; hindwing beneath more whitish, with cell- 
dot slightly elongate, postmedian dots feeble. Durban, founded on the $. 
tran.scatc- S. tratiscatenulata Fothsch. (7 k). Narrower winged and brighter buff than crassisquama (less dark-irro- 
indata. .(-pg Pngs similarly aj^proximated, but rarely connected by band-like shading, the markings of 
the distal area weak. Hindleg of the cj rather weak, but with the tarsus not much shortened. Rharis district. 
crasslsqiia- S. crassisquama Warr. (81), only known from the type $, is more glossy and with the proximal 
ma. markings more recalling affmitata B.-Haas from Syria; postmedian line and subterminal shade rather strong, 
formed of dark irroration. Nakheila, River Atbara, Egyptian Sudan. 
microptera. S. niicroptera Warr. (81), briefly described in Vol. 4, p. 417, is at least as narrow-winged as transca- 
tenulata, paler and much smaller, the markings more obliqixe. Taken with crassisquama and since recorded 
from Kordofan. 
granulosa. S. granulosa Warr. (8 i). Probably not, as I formerly supposed, a form of microptera, as the cell is 
not cpxite so long, the cell-dots wanting and the ixrincipal line more distally placed. Nakheila (type) and in 
Egypt. 
minimaria. S. minimaria Warr. In size and shape near granulosa, rather greyer, the 3 lines of the forevTng 
sinuous, of more ecpial strength, the postinedian accompanied distally by an ill-defined dark shade or (espe¬ 
cially on the hindwing) ending in a dark spot which reaches the anal angle. Underside rather well marked. 
Hindleg of short and slender, the tarsus cpiite short and weak. Mombasa. 
hura. S. bura Front. 16 mm. Antennal ciliation as long as diameter of shaft. Hindtarsus about % tibia. 
Wings rather narrow, whitish, suffused with light sandy brown; cell-dots black; markings cloudy, not very 
shaiqily defined; an oblique proximal band, on fore wing obsolete anteriorly, a weaker, narrower, more macular 
subterminal band; postmedian line obsolete above, except as a costal dot, present (but weak) beneath. Kenya 
Colony: Bura, 1 i^. 
limbolata. S. limbolata 31ah. “14 mm. Wings bone colour, with 2 brown-reddish lines in the proximal part, 
the inner scarcely sinuate, the outer crenate; cell-dot minute, the outer line almost touching it distally; a 
broad brownish-rosy band borders the wings, divided by a pale strijxe, broader at the apex than posteriorh’ 
and on the hindwing; fringe whitish, with a minute black dot at each vein-end. Underside whitish, slightly 
tinged with rose-colour.” Madagascar (?). A worn $ in the Tring Museum, apparently close to marcidaria Walk. 
(Ceylon) seems to agree well with this description, Avhich, however, may possibly refer to a $ form of 
rujimixta Warr.-, rufvmixta $ differs from marcidaria in the narrower wings, straigher postinedian line, the 
dots at base of fringe oftener olisolete, etc. 
hcres. S. hercs Front (7 k). Near associata, but with the antennal joints projecting almost as in eclw, 
ciliation even, about as long as diameter of shaft. Cell-dots wanting or very faint, the shade just outside 
the postinedian also obsolescent or very narroAV, even the characteristic darkening at the abdominal margin 
of the hindwing generally scarcely noticeable; a fine, almost straight median line, on the contrary, generally 
well developed on the forewing. Underside similar to iqiper, the cell-dots sometimes better expressed. $ rather 
larger than (J- Wankie, S. Rhodesia. Also known from Kilwa, E. Africa (1 $). 
associata. S. associata Warr. (7 k). Structure nearly as in ^ninimaria, hindtibia somewhat more thickened 
at distal end. Less narrow-winged, more glossy, more stramineous; characterized by the sharply black ante- 
and postinedian costal dots of the forewing. In the t;\q)e form the dark postinedian shade is weak, except 
exilinota. at hindmargin. — ab. exilinota Warr. has more complete postinedian shading. Both forms are best known 
subscidula- from Natal, but reach the Transvaal and the southern part of Portuguese East Africa. — subscutulata ITo?'?-. 
is a slightly narrower-winged race from Uganda and the Upper Congo. 
echo. S. echo Front (7 k) at first sight resembles a slightly broader-winged, weakly marked associata, but 
the antennal joints have strong angular projections; postinedian line and its costal dot farther from termen, 
dark shade at hind angle of forewing not developed, forewing beneath more suffused. Areole, so far as I have 
observed, Avanting (in associata and heres developed). TransAmal. 
jortificata. S. fortificata Front is larger and with sharper lines than associata, the ground-colour more broAvnish- 
ochreous, the lines purple-fuscous, thickened at costa, but AAlthout the separable black dots of associata, the 
principal dark shading outside the postinedian of the forcAAlng placed betAA^een the 3rd radial and 2nd 
median. Transvaal.
