ECCYMATOGE; COLLIX. By E. B. Proct. 
ur, 
M. thorenaria Swinh. (lOf) has a rather extreme Ortholitha-s,\\a,Y)Q and tlie ])ostmedian line shaped much ihorenaria. 
as in 0. deversa, or a little more extreme than in any L. explanata, the hindwing with a decifled tinge of ochre. 
Hindwdng beneath, with costal and apical jjarts of forewing, very gay, a blend of orange and red, with w hitish 
markings, the postmedian of the hindAving with a strong projection between the 3rd radial and 1st median. 
Madagascar. 
M. annulifera Warr. (lOf). A little larger than most Mimoclystia, decidedly variable, but easily dis- umwlljcru. 
tinguished from all the preceding by the Avhitish, almost unmarked upperside of the hindwing; from cancellata, 
which alone resembles it in this respect, by the shape of the postmedian. The typical form, from the Kikuyu 
Escarpment, is similarly coloured to cancellata; forms from Mounts Kenya, Aberdare and Kilimandjaro are 
more warmly coloured, the underside Avith a reddish admixture. Also knoAvn from Marungu Plateau, S. W. 
of Lake Tanganyika. Janse adds Uintali (S. Rhodesia) and Impetyeiri Forest, Durban. 
M. cancellata Warr. (10 f). Rather smaller than annulifera, postmedian line of both Awngs (on the cancellata. 
hindAving only distinct beneath) straighter than in any other knoAvn Mimoclystia. Unyoro (type), Kenya Colony 
and Kilimandjaro. 
M. pudicata is A^ariable, but alAA'ays unmistakable through the bright yelloAV hinclAving, both above and 
beneath; the numerous almost straight lines of the foreAAung are also characteristic for most of the forms. —■ 
pulicata Walk. (10 g), the name-typical race from Cape ToAA ir and Knysna, has the foreAving strongly suffused imdicala. 
Avith brcAvnish vinaceous and the lines comparatively Aveak. —■ quaggaria Wllgrn. (= semiflavata Warr.) is quaggaria. 
intermediate in colour and in the strength of the markings between jjudicata and multilinearia. Eastern Cape 
Colony to South Rhodesia. —■ multilinearia (lOg) is paler, the foreAAung AAuth stronger lines, the postmedian muliilhiea- 
perhaps less crenulate; the hindAving often sIioavs traces of the postmedian on the upperside. Kenya Colony, 
perhaps not separable from the folloAving, of AAdiich I have seen scarcely any material. — cecchii Oberth., from cecchii. 
S. Abyssinia, is certainly close to multilinear ia, but reverts in colour toAAnrds some quaggaria, being “reddish 
broAA'ir”, indeed an Abyssinian $ before me is someAA'hat darker than Transvaal forms; rather large, median 
area of foreAving fairly broad, the postmedian non-creniilate, the subordinate lines AAnakly developed; “fringe 
rosy“'. 
18. Genus: Eccyiiiatoge Front 
A small genus, erected to accommodate a feAv Australian and African species AA'hich de\date from Ho- 
risrne in having the discoceflulars of the hinclAAdng biangulate, AAoth the 2nd radial arising nearer to the 3rd than 
to the 1st. Except in the AA’ing-shape — apex of foreAA’ing not produced, termen of liingAving dentate —, the 
raised cell-dot of the foreAving and the rather more strongly crested abdomen, it scarcely differs stmcturally 
from the Palaearctic Coenocalpe (Vol. 4, p. 300). The genotype, callizona Lower, is Australian. 
E. melanoternia Front, d, 26 mm. Palpus quite moderate. Antennal ciliation minute. ForeAving shaped meUoiotcr- 
as in a moderately elongate Eujnthecia, red-broAvn, Avith costal edge darkened excepting the distal third, a 
black terminal line, the cell-spot large, elongate, the numeroAis lines indistinct. HindAving Avith costal margin 
rather long and very straight; slightly paler than foreAving and AA’eaker-marked, except at abdominal margin. 
Recalls a Collix on the upperside, but has not the shaaqAly-marked imderside Avhich characterizes most species 
of that genus. Transvaal to the Cape, imperfectly knoAvn; either variable or comprising more than one species. 
19. Genus: Collix Guen. 
An interesting genus, distributed throughout the Indo-Australian Region as far eastAA’ard as Fiji and 
— though sparingly — in Tropical and South Africa. In the raised cell-spot and double areole of the foreAA'ing 
and in the dentate or crenulate hindwing it agrees with the preceding, but it is very distinct in the long palpus, 
the simple discocellulars of the hindAAung, etc. Very generally there are also oiitstanding characteristics, at 
least in the d —■ antenna laterally compressed, abdomen AAuth the jiosterior segments tufted laterally, m i d 
tibia strongly dilated, more or less holloAved, commonly AA'ith a groove or furroAv on the outerside. Finally, 
the Avings are generally miAch more strongly marked beneath than aboAm, the pale or AA’hitish ground-colour 
being marked Avith broad longitiidinal streaks and (often macular) transverse bands. BetAA'een 20 and 30 species 
are at present knoAAn; of those mentioned in Vohime 4, only hypospilata is really a Collix. 
C. iiiaequata Ouen. {= flavipuncta Warr.) (10 g). Dark markings indistinct aboAn, moderate beneath, inaequata. 
Recognizable at once by the large yelloAvish subterminal spot betAveenthe 3rd radial and 1st median of each AA'ing. 
Underside Avith the longitudinal streaks undeveloped, the bands (postmedian and subterminal) scarcely at 
all macular. Reunion (type) and Mauritius. 
C. foraminata Guen. (lOg). Bands better deAmloj^ed aboAm than in inaequata, closely like those of a, foraminata. 
number of the Indo-Australian species, the subterminal band interrupted, but AA'ith the pale spot behind the 
3rd radial not differentiated from the ground-colour. We figure the underside, Avhich giAms a A^ery good idea
