present, ^^'ings elongate, but with the cell of the forewing very little over 1st and 2nd subcostal of fore- 
Aving coincident, sometimes AA'ith connections or anastomoses AAuth the neighbouring veins. Only one species. 
P. subalbata Warr. (16 h). In pattern someAvhat similar to Oiwphalucha brv-nnea, but much paler, the 
foreAving Avithout dark border, the hindAving and especially the underside AA'hitish, etc. Abyssinia and Somali¬ 
land to Tanganyika Territory, besides Uganda; founded on a pair from tlie Luitpold Mountains. 
21. Genus: Xlxeliopsi^^ gen. no'v. 
I haA'e for seAmral years past been using this manuscript name of ^\'ARKEN’s for a few sx)ecies Avhieh 
1 cannot satisfactorily refer to any knoAvn genus. I diagnosed it as folloAAs. Face sloping, tufted beloAV. Palpus 
shortish, 2nd joint heavily scaled, especially beneath. Tongue slight. Antenna in bipectinate to at least 
AA'ith long branches; in $ Avith shorter branches. Breast hairy. Hindtibia AA'ith terminal spurs only, or in ad¬ 
dition AA'ith mere vestiges of one proximal or of both. Ovipositor in 9 long. ForeAA'ing very long and narroAA', 
termen extremely oblique, tonus AA^eak; foA^ea present in (^; cell AA^ell over '/>; 1st and 2rd subcostals in ^ short- 
stalked, in 9 se])arating near costa (probably sometimes coincident throughout), 5th subcostal long-stalked, 
2nd radial slightly behind middle of discocellulars. HindAA'ing rather narroAA', costa elongate, apex rounded, 
termen AA'aved or AAeakly SAdAcrenulate; cell AA'ell over i venation about as in Eidycia. Genotype: ansorgei 
Warr., 1905 (described as Exelis). Prol)ably related to Hyposidra, but differing in the slight tongue, short palpus 
and atrophy of proximal spin’s of hindtibia; possibly deriA^ed from Eidycia. AA'hich has the proximal spurs 
deA^elojied, though shorter than the terminal, and has much more hairy clothing. 
E. perse Faured (15 c). More brightly coloured than the other species, the AA^arm broAA'ii bands and 
especially the cell-spot and postmedian of tlie liindAving recalling some Omphaluclia or Eidycia. The hindleg 
sometimes retains vestiges of the proximal spurs, so that it may be an actual intergradation. The pectinations 
of the $ antenna are slenderly attachcil to the sliaft and easily lost. KeiiA^a Colony, the type from Kedai. 
E. ansorgei Warr. (15 b), described from Southern Nigeria and knoAAn from Umry Coast and from 
Belgian Congo as far as Kivu, is a dingy species AA'ith simple jiattern of cell-spot and tAAO lines, reproduced on 
the underside, sometimes made a little more distinct by ])ale edging. The extremely oblique termen of the fore- 
AA'ing, “passing (as Warren says) into inner margin AA'ithout forming a distinct anal angle'', is distinctiAm. lA'ory 
Coast to KiAui, the tAqie from 8. Nigeria. 
E. amygdala sp. n. (15 a). Structure nearly as in ansorgei but the antennal pectinations of the cJ longer 
still, the $ not pectinate. A 30 mm, $ 36— 41 mm. ForeAAung AA’ith costa and termen slightly more curA^ed. 
hindAving much longer and narroAver. Colouring of $ almost exactly as in Eidycia grisea, the transA’erse mark¬ 
ings much less irregular, AAeaker. The only knoAAui structurally sound and therefore made holotype, is not 
])erfectly fresh, but certainly more unicolourous greyish. Senegal; Sedhiou (H. Ca.stell), type and allotype 
in the Tring Museum; South KaAdrondo: Suna (W. Feather), 2 $$; thus evidently much overlooked hitherto. 
E. insulanus sp. n. (15a). Palpus a little stronger than in amygdala-, pectinations exceptionally long. 
ForeAA'ing AA'ith costa scarcely at all curved till beyond middle, but not conspicuously different in shape from 
that of amygdala-, cell-dot on the upperside faint, the fine lines rather distinct, especially the postmedian, a 
median generally discernii)le, tliongh Aveak. HindAving paler, Avith the cell-mark and the hinder part of the 
postmedian line strong, Init Avithout conspicuous dark suffusion at anal angle. Both Avings beneath Avith distinct 
cell-dot, the lines Aveak except at costa of foreAving. S. Madagascar: Behara, forest of Didierea and Alluaudia, 
type d' and tAAo others; Tongobory and Besaha, 1 cJ; all in the Tring Museum, from R. Catala. Superficially 
like a miniature Eidycia grisea, Avith an expanse of 28—34 mm; Init Avith a less extremely bent ])ostmedian 
line and structurally distinct in the 2-spurred hindtibia, etc. 
22. Genus ; 15iclavig:era Warr. 
A peculiar genus but, according to the iiiv’estigations of Janse, rather near to the folloAving and, through 
it, to Isturgia. Face broad, rounded. Palpus very short. Tongue vestigial. Antenna of (J bipectinate to the 
apex, AA'ith very long branches. Foretibia as a rule Avith a short and slender anterior claAV or spine. Hindtibia 
Avith terminal spurs only. ForeAving long and narroAv, the cell long, rather far forAvard, the sid)costals someAvhat 
croAvded, the first tAvo coincident. HindAving also elongate, Avith cell Avell over U- Warren named the genus 
from the tarsal claAvs, but I cannot see anything remarkable about these. $ uuknoAvn, ])erhaps a])terous. 
Exclusively South African. 
B. deterior Froid (18 a). Smaller than the genoty])e ( piaecanaria) : coloration in general more uniform, 
the pale parts almost obliterated, the fuscous irroration slight; the A’eins, aa IhcIi in praecanaria are buff to red-
