4. Genus: Ziitulba Ky. 
Antenna with a club at the end, abdomen somewhat slimmer than in the genus Zygaena. Hind tibiae 
with 1 pair of spurs. In the forewing veins 7 + 8 + 9 forked. In the hindwing all the veins are separate, 
8 connected with the cell by a fillet. Type: zelleri Wallgr. 
Z. namaqua B.sd. (= ampla Wkr.) (2 e). Forewing black with yellowish-white spots. A large subbasal namaqua. 
spot and a small one before it, a pair of spots on the centre of the wing and another pair behind them. Hindwing 
orange with a black margin. A specimen was figured, in which at vein 2 the margin projects but very little 
proximad. There occur, however, also specimens in which the whole apex is so much darkened that the wing 
entirely resembles a yellow zelleri. Expanse 32 to 36 mm. Transvaal. 
Z. zelleri Wallgr. (= octo Mob.) (2 e) is probably only a form of namaqua. Forewing as in ampla , zelleri. 
but the spots are mostly smaller. Hindwing red. Distal margin, cross-vein, and apex broadly black. On the 
abdomen with more intense red-rings than ampla. Expanse 28 to 34 mm. Transvaal. 
Z. ocellaris Fldr. (2 e). On the forewing the white spots are centred red. Hindwing yellow. The ocellaris. 
black distal margin at vein 2 extends to the cross-vein. Apex broad black. Abdomen with fine pale yellow 
rings. Expanse 32 mm. South Africa. 
The following genera have pectinate antennae and, owing to their 
hyaline spots, frequently look like Syntomidae. 
5. Genus: Saliimca Wkr. 
Proboscis moderately long. Palpi short and pointed. Hind tibiae with very short terminal spurs. Body 
long. Antennae bipectinate, in the long. Veins of forewing all separate, veins 9 and 10 from the upper cell- 
angle. In the hindwing all the veins are separate. Vein 7 extending into the apex, 8 connected with the cross¬ 
vein by a fillet, whereby an angle is produced at vein 7. Type: styx F. 
S. styx F. (= thoracica Wkr.) (2 f). Thorax golden brown. Wings lustrous dark blue. Hindwing siyx. 
in the cell and below it hyaline. Expanse 24 to 28 mm. Cameroon, Togo, Sierra Leone. 
S. ventralis Jord. (2f). Like styx, but abdomen beneath white, except at the end. Uganda. ventralis. 
S. rufidorsis Plolz. Head and thorax red-brown. Abdomen and forewing blackish-green. Hindwing rufidorsis. 
violettish-black. Antennae black. Expanse 24 mm. West Africa. 
S. cyanea Hmps. Thorax above and abdomen beneath golden yellow. Wings black with a blue lustre, cyanea. 
Hindwing at the base hyaline. Expanse 30 mm. Uganda. 
S. vidua Rbl. Tegulae, thorax, and base of abdomen golden brown. Forewing blackish-brown. Hindwing vidua. 
black with hyaline base. Expanse 24 mm. East Africa. 
S. aurifrons Wkr. (= aitcha Mab.) (2 f). Antenna at the base, head and tegulae golden yellow; aurifrons. 
abdomen beneath white, except at the apex. Wings with a dark blue lustre. Forewing with a faded subapical 
golden spot. Hindwing somewhat hyaline below the cell. — ugandana Jord. lacks the golden sj)ot of the forewing, ugandana. 
Perhaps identical with the following species. Expanse 26 to 32 mm. Togo, Sierra Leone, Uganda. 
S. flavifrons Plolz (2 f). Palpi, head, and tegulae golden yellow, also the bases of the wings and the flavifrons. 
anterior coxae. Abdomen beneath white, except the end, above and forewing with a bluish-green lustre. 
Hindwing violettish-blue, below the cell hyaline. Expanse 28 to 32 mm. Cameroon, Spanish Guinea. 
S. fulviceps Hmps. Head and tegulae golden yellow. Thorax brown, abdomen beneath white. Wings fulviceps. 
blackish-brown, with a violettish-blue gloss. Hindwing with a hyaline basal area. Expanse 30 mm. East 
Africa. 
S. cyanothorax Hmps. Tegulae, patagia, and abdomen beneath golden yellow. Rest of body and cyanotho- 
wings lustrous blue. Hindwing at the base hyaline. Expanse 26 mm. Uganda. raa 
S. solora Plolz (2 f). Tegulae golden brown. Body and antennae black. Wings lustrous blue; hindwing solora. 
somewhat violet, in and below the cell hyaline. Expanse 32 to 40 mm. Cameroon, Spanish Guinea. 
S. saphirina Hmps. Only base of tegulae golden yellow. Head, thorax, and abdomen lustrous blue saphirina. 
like the wings. Hindwing with a hyaline spot in the lower part of the cell and below it as far as vein 4. Expanse 
34 mm. Uganda. 
S. meruana Aur. (2 g). Black with a green reflection. Thorax and chest with lustrous fiery or coppery meruana. 
scales. Forewing green; hindwing lustrous bluish-green; at and below the cell hyaline. Expanse 24 to 36 mm.
