of forevving narrower, especiall}" at fold, where (as also at 2nd suhmedian) the postniedian line follows about 
the same course as in divisaria, costal edge strongly speckled with black. Diego Suarez (G. Melolt), a series 
in the Tring Museum. 
C. umbrata sp. n. (17 b). Expanse 51— 56 mm. Antenna with the last 8 or 9 joints non-pectinate. wuhrata. 
Foretibial hair well developed; hind tibia rather stout distally, without hair-pencil. Forewing with a small 
fovea. In shape and facies rather suggestive of a not extremely robust Aphilo'pota but with the venation of 
Colodeora, the first two subcostals well free; grey-brown, with somewhat elongate cell-marks (strongest in the 
type), punctiform postmedian, weak median and on the forewing a strengly bent antemedian, weak except at 
the costa but bounding a markedly brown, black-speckled proximal area; both wings with a further brown 
band between the postmedian and the subterminal, which is scarcely indicated except by the return of the 
pale ground-colour. PTnderside with the cell-spots enlarged, the postmedian dots and traces of the brown outer 
shade present. Madagascar: Foiet d’ Isaka, near Fort Dauphin (R. Catala), type d' and another; Perinet, 
E. of Tananarico (Madame N. d'Olsoufieff), 1 d- None is in perfect condition, biit the species is easily 
recognized. 
29. Genus: Aiiaclcora Jawse. 
Differs from Colodeora in the well-vedeloped tongue and the shorter pectinations of thed' antenna (about 
4 times diameter of shaft); the genitalia, moreover, differ from those of both the Colodeora with which Janse 
was acqiiainted [divisaria and proxiviaria). Legs smooth-scaled. Forewing in both sexes with 1st and 2nd sub¬ 
costals separate the 1 st occasionally anastomosing with the costal or the 2 nd (in the type $ quite exceptionally) 
arising from the base of the 3rd—5th. Ty])e and sole species: extremaria Walk. 
A. extremaria Walk. (= haploocnema Prout) (17 a). Recognizable by the generic characters and in exirnnaria. 
any case, I think, by the shape combined with markings. According to Janse, however, some forms of this 
and of Racotis (?) apodosima (his Racotis “zebrina”, olim) can be confusingly similar; but typical apodosima 
has a larger, more ocellated cell-spot on the forewing and a more or less broad dark subterminal band on both 
wings beneath, while extremaria has only very incomplete and narrow subterminal shading beneath, chiefly on 
the anterior part of the forewing; in extremaria the 1 st line of the hindwing is midway between base and cell- 
spot, in apodosima near the cell-spot. From Colodeora pulverosa, which has somewhat the same pale olivaceous 
or yellowish tone, extremaria differs in its less broad wings, different postmedian, with dark marks at veins

30. Genus: iS’ycliiodcs Led. 
(See Vol. 4, p. 360.) 
A Palaearctic genus, which probably does not reach the African Region. It has, however, been used 
to accomodate one species which agrees with it in the vestigial tongue and the jiectinate antenna of the $, etc., 
but differs in the much smaller size, smoother scaling, presence of fovea and non-dentate termen of the hind¬ 
wing; 1st and 2nd siibcostals of the forewing coincident. 
N. tyttha Prout (15 h). Somewhat variable in colour, occasionally more ochreous than the type and tyttha. 
our figured specimen, but pretty constant in the approximation of the lines, etc. Pectinations long in the cj, 
blit not continiiing to the apex. Perhaps collateral with Colodeora, from which it differs in the less hairy clothing 
and the constancy (so fur as is yet known) of the loss of one subcostal vein. Described from Eritrea, but sub¬ 
sequently taken chiefly in South Africa: N. F. Rhodesia to the Transvaal and Lozenzo Marquez and even at 
Stanger, Natal. 
31. Genus; Apliilopota Warr. 
Face rough. Palpus shortish to moderate. Tongue wanting or vestigial. Antenna rather short; in the Y 
with long pectinations. Breast shaggy. Femora hairy; hindtibia with all spurs. Wings densely scaled; forewing 
with 1st and 2nd subcostals coincident. An exclusively African genus of moderately large and robust moths 
with simple pattern.

condition and it is uncertain whether it even belongs to the present genus. Tongue about as in plethora. Paljous 
short. Antennae lost. Length of a forewing aboiit 27 mm, shape much as in (the smaller} patulata, or with 
termen slightly more convex, hindwing about as crenulate as in $ 2 ^ti,tulata. The cell-marks ap 2 :)ear to have
