I IS 
more sinuous (appreciably incurved between the radials, dentate outward at bst radial etc.), costa of hindwing 
whitened, in the also a whitish admixture in the distal area of that wing, especially its proximal and apical 
parts. Kenya (blony, especially the Kikuyu Country; also in Uganda, Kivn, Tanganyika Territory (Kiliman- 
djaro) and perhaps Eritrea. Apart from a slight difference in the ^ antenna (see above), pycnoconia may he 
distingiushed from anisohapta by having the subordinate lines of the forewing weak, the postmedian less broken, 
that of the hindwing not crenulate; cell-s])ots less large, patch of specialised scaling of forewing very strong 
and blackish, black scaling in cell of forewing beneath also stronger, anisohapta varies a little in the amount 
of cinnamon in the drab ground-colour and the specialised (J scaling behind the median and at the base of 
its branches may he more greyish or more buff; there is always — most prominently in the — a darkening 
of the median band of the forewing posteriorly, though in varying degree, a character which is scarcely notice¬ 
able in /. lophopterata. 
A. malostigma Prout (13 a). Cold grey, nearer to the colour of costalis t\\a,n of the preceding group, the 
cell-spot of the forewing large and white but not (as in the senhidivisa group) with a dark pupil. Kivu district, 
at altitudes of 2(h)() m and upwards. 
A. serraticornis Warr. (= dentatissima Jatise, nec Warr.) (Ug) differs from all the previous Asfheno- 
fricha in having the ^ antennal teeth at least as long as the diameter of the shaft, as well as in the bright 
orange ground-colour. Somewhat variable. I s;is])ect that the form from the Transvaal (Louis Trichardt, 
Lemana, Bolitzi), which on account of Swinhoe's erroneoiis sinking of serraticornis got misidentified as "dlenta- 
tissima", is a separable race (])erhaps agreeing with that from Nyasa), smaller, less deep orange, the specialised 
scaling of the hind,wing ])erhaps browner (thmxgh less extended and less red than in dentatissima), but as I 
have very little material before me I refrain from giving it a name. Normal serraticornis was described from 
Kenya. 
A. dentatissima Warr. (12g). Antenna almost as in serraticornis, the teeth perhaps scarcely as long. 
Abdomen generally with stronger Avhite spots. Hindwdng with basal costal convexity more extreme, cell less 
sluu’t, costal anastomosing rather less strongly (to little beyond middle of cell), specialised scaling of its upper- 
side red, not blackish, and reaching considerably beyond the cell and also (at least distally) to the median vein. 
Ji’escribed from Mpwapwa, Tanganyika Territory, bxxt meets serraticornis in Kenya and occurs also in Uganda. 
A. bartisae sp. n. (12g). Antennal teeth of U almost as long as in serraticornis. Rather smaller than 
that species, without dark patch at base of medians of forewing, the yellow hair-pencil of the hindwing small, 
set on a small patch of black scaling. Lines darker than in serraticornis, w'ithout any reddish admixture, the 
first line beyond the cell firm, very straight excepting the angle at the 1st radial of the forewing. Kibati, lava 
plains beneath Birunga Volcanoes, 5000 feet, March—-April 1924 (Mrs. Barns), type; LumbAva, Kenya (G. W. 
Jeffery) 1 ,J; both in the British Museum. 
A. psephotaenia sp. n. (12 g). Expanse 2(1—-29 mm. Antenna as in .serraticornis. Whitish, strongly 
irrorated Avith pale sandy buff, the abdominal irroration more grey. ForeAving of with an extended ])atch of 
Avarmer buff s])ecialised scales behind the median and the l)ase of its 1st Ixranch and entering the cell; cell-dot 
small l)ut sharp; markings rather blurred and ill-defined, especially in the (J. Hindwing Avith costal hair-txdf 
of ^ rather large, ochraceous-orange. Underside weakly marked, but with the band-like postdiscal shade on 
both A\-ings fairly Avell deA^eloped; foreAving Avith coarse dark scaling in cell (especially posterior part) and 
along proximal ])art of the area from 3rd radial to 2nd median. Kivu district, at altitudes of 4000—-7000 feet, 
collected by Mr. and Mrs. Barns, the tyjxe from Ijoavowo Valley, S. Lowa district, W. Kivu. Also from Toro 
(Uganda) and Ruwenzori, tlie latter mixed by Hampson Avith ansorgei, of Avhich the has sim])ler antenna, 
lacks the specialised buff scaling of the foreAving and has a less bright costal tuft on the hindwing. 
A. fernandi sp. n. (13 a). Expanse 26—28 mm. TTie large, warm-huff to antimony-yelloAV tuft suggests 
the jlavicoma group and the coloration is not dissimilar (e. g. as in the brightest pycnoconia)-, the genitalia, too, 
resemble those of fJaviconia, though the process on the valve is longer and more ])ointed, etc.; the antennal 
teeth, on the other hand, are at least as long as those of .ser7'a tic or nis. Fernando Po: Moka, 29 January—-2 Fe¬ 
bruary 1933 (W. H. T. Tams), 2 in the British Museum, the paratype not so brightly coloured as the figured 
type. A 5, l>robably cons])ecific, is more ochraceous-buff, A\dth narrow dark-grey postmedian shade. 
A. tripogonias Prout (12 h). Antenna of the ^ simple. Remai’kably distinct in the development of 
additional red hairtufts, Avhich form dense suberect masses from the costa of the foreAving, overhanging the 
cell both above and beneath. Rexxnion, the type (J collected on 28 May 1922. 3 $9 Avhich probably beloixg 
Avith it (one takeix on the same day, the other two at the end of April), are darker and more xxixiformly rxxfoxxs, 
Avith black irroration, conspicxioxxs black cell-dots above and beneath, nxore lines deAmloped, distal area Avith 
the veins more stroixgly light- and dark-dotted than in the J.
