P. sjostedti Aiiriv., only known to me from tlie figure and description, is smaller than monticolaf.a sjdsiedh. 
(29 mm) and perhaps still nearer to altipefa in that the postmedian line is not dentate and the a])ical dash is 
well developed; the anteniedian line, however, is much straighter, the white central band broader and the 
hindwing —■ according to the figure — much more elongate. Kilimandjaro: Kiboscho, 3000—4000 m, 1 1 9- 
P. artifex Proiit (9 k). The smallest African Perizonm and quite unmistakable. A antenna lamellate ardfex. 
with strong teeth, which bear tufts of short cilia. Forewing beneath with all the white lines shar])ly marked 
anteriorly, blurred posteriorly, hindwing beneath uniisually sharply banded, white and fuscous. Ca])e Town 
district. — basutensis Prout is larger (19—20 mm), whiter, median area of forewing much mixed with white, basuienslft. 
subterminal broad, diffused almost to termen, underside of hindwing with the white bands broafler and less 
irrorated, the dark ones less sharp. Basutoland: Machacha, 10 000 feet. 
9. Genus: £ii|>liyia Hhn. 
This genus was defined in Vol. 4 as follows; “Face commonly with cone of scales. Antenna in A nearly 
simple. Areole double. Discocellnlars (of hindwing) not biangulate. Probably contains some heterogeneoiis 
elements, but does not at present seem subdivisible.” As thus defined, it contains probably nearly 300 species 
and is distributed in all the temperate regions and — in a very extensive section with somewhat shorter palpus 
(Anapalta Warr.) — in South America. In Africa it is almost unrepresented. 
E. distinctata Walk. (= scotosiata Walk., discolorata Warr.) (9 k). In sha])e, and in the coloration of distuictata. 
the brightest forms, not unlike the Palaearctic sandosaria H.-Sch. (Vol. 4, p. 244), sometimes didler and more 
greyish; cell-mark of forewing difhise, about the middle of median band; hindwing weakly marked. Cape 
Colony. 
E. altispex Prout (10 b). A broader-winged, broad-banded species, white and fairly strongly marked, allispcx. 
in some respects a little recalling Larentia phiara, Imt with quite different (minutely ciliate) A antenna and 
non-biangulate discocellulars of the liindwing. The reddish admixture in the median band gives a slight sug¬ 
gestion of Ejnrrlwe submac'idata, which is much smaller, with undivided areole. Kivu: Mikeno Mountains, etc. 
10. Genus: Aii^orii^ia Warr. 
The only Africair representative of the interesting Cataclysme-growp , in which the 5th subcostal of 
the forewing is widely separate at its origin from the others and usually stalked with the 1st radial. In An- 
sorgia there is no areole, subcostals 1—4 being stalked together, and subcostal 5 is only very shortly stalked 
with the 1st radial or oftener connate or just separate. Antenna of d simple. Only one species. 
A. divergens Warr. (9 k). A dull s]:)ecies, but not like any other knowui to me; in any case determinable divergcns. 
by the structure. Uganda. A large d from Kwidgwi I., Lake Kivu, possibly represents a separable race. 
11. Genus: Tripliosa 
Palpus longish, rough-scaled. Antenna in both sexes simple (but see corticearia) . Wings generally 
glossy, distal margins crenulate, that of the hindwing deeply so; forewing witli areole doid^le; hindwing witli 
discocellulars strongly biangulate. The genus is chiefly Palaearctic and Nearctic, but with representatives in 
the Himalayas and South America, particularly in the Andes. The two African species wliich, on account of 
the diagnosis, have been referred here, present a different facies and may probably have had a different origin, 
at least in the case of tritocelidafa. 
T. corticearia Avriv. Expanse 47 mm. Antenna of d pectinate. In wing-breadth, dark colouring, etc., corticearia. 
rather similar to the genotype (dnbitata L.), but less strongly glossy, the teeth of the hindwing margin rather 
less strong; postmedian line of forewing withorrt the strong subcostal projection, subterminal not thickened 
behind 2nd median, termin wdth sharp white-yellow vein-dots, hindwing with only the postmedian line well 
developed. Kilimandjaro, 2800—3000 m. 
T. tritocelidaria Auriv. (9k). Narrower winged and with the A antenna broadly lamellate, perhaps tritocelida- 
originating from the Ortliolitha-Larentia group. The white in the median area may be restricted to the region 
of the cell-mark (type) or more extended. Kilimandjaro, 2700—3000 m. 
12. Genus: Cteiiaiilis Warr. 
In shape and pattern similar to those Triphosa in which the margin of the hindwing is the least deeply 
dentate (particularly corticearia). Antenna in both sexes bijDectinate. Hindwing with discocellulars not bi¬ 
angulate (Warken’s diagnosis is erroneous), the 2nd radial arising at the cell-fold. Perhaps really a derivative 
of Ortliolitha. or Xanthorhoe. Only one species.
