42 MYOPSYCHE. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
cinthracifor- C. antliraciformis Wallgr. ( = fuscicornis Wallgr., pygmula Oberth.) (3 a). The blackish-brown forewing 
?his. exhibits 6 hyaline spots edged with dark yellow, at the cell-end, below the cell, and 4 alternately large 
ones in the distal area; in the hindwing 2 large hyaline spots are confluent in such a way that only a 
• small margin, being broader at the apex, remains dark. Dorsum of abdomen with 3 rows of yellow spots. 
South Africa. 
nacliodes. C. siacliodes Hmps. (3 a). The hindwing is extraordinarily stunted, though not quite so much as 
in Hampson’s figure where it has almost disappeared. Forewing blackish-brown, easily recognized by the 
orange spotting; above the hind-margin of the forewing there is a long longitudinal bar. Mashona Land. 
reseda. C. resecta H.-Schaff. (3 a) is much larger than the preceding. The description was made from a very 
much worn specimen. Black with a greenish reflection and yellow borders on the abdominal rings 4, 5, and 6. 
The usual spots of the forewing are hyaline, rather small, the one below the base of vein 2 being transverse 
and linear. In the hindwing there is a minute spot below the cell and another one between the veins 2 and 5. 
From South Africa. 
erawshayi. C. crawshayi Hmps. (3 a). In this rather broad-winged species the hindwing is less reduced, and hyaline 
except a narrow dark margin. The forewing shows a large hyaline spot occupying the whole central area and 
being finely traversed by the median vein. 3 longitudinal spots in the marginal half. Shoulders yellow, meta- 
thorax and the last abdominal ring but two likewise yellow. East Africa. 
cybelisiis. C. cybelistis Holl. (3 a) is much larger, the wings almost as in the preceding, but the body is blackish- 
brown, only the second abdominal ring whitish. Gabun, Uganda. Allied to albimacula. 
elasson. C. elasson Holl. (3 b), from West Africa, has the shoulders, the 2nd and 5th abdominal rings margined 
with yellow. The spots of the forewing are so large that the whole wing except the margins is hyaline, only 
from the cross-vein and on the lower median branch a broad black stripe extends to the margin. Hindwing 
with a blackish-brown costal margin and apex, otherwise hyaline. 
hilda. C. hilda Ehrm. (= seminigra Holl.) (3 b) is similar to elasson, but only the 2nd abdominal ring (not 
also the 5th) is whitish-yellow; behind the cell of the forewing the cross-vein is likewise of a thick black colour; 
also the margin is broader black with a white fringe-spot below the apex. The apical part of the hindwing 
is also much broader black. West Africa. 
barombina. C. barombisia Gaede (ined.) (3 b) is similar to hilda , with shorter spots in and below the cell. Apical 
fringe of forewing and apex of antenna white. Cameroon. 
flava. C. flava B.-Bak. (3 b). Body quite orange; forewing hyaline, behind the cell a brown patch to the 
broad brown margin. Hindwing proximally orange, distal half dark brown. Angola. 
infranigra. C. infranigra Bird. (3 b) is very similar to flava, but the body is red-brown, the whole hindwing is 
blackish-brown, only at the base slightly tinged yellow. This species, according to Gaede i. 1., is a genuine 
Syntomis. 
longipes. C. lorsgipes H.-Schaff. (= caryocatactes Wallgr.) (5 b) from Natal. Here the shoulders and the 1st 
abdominal ring are whitish-yellow. The spots of the forewing are small, arranged in the usual way. Hindwing 
with a small spot below the base of the cell and between the veins 2 and 5. 
semihyali- C. semihyalina Ky. (= macula Strd.) (3 b). From Port Alice in British East Africa. Rather large, 
na ■ the spots of the forewings so large that the one in the cell almost entirely covers the latter except its base; 
the spot below the cell is still larger; the 3 postdiscal spots are oval; another very small spot before the fringe 
below the apex of the forewing. Hindwing with a blackish margin and apex. 
albimacula. C. albimacula Wkr. (= macrospila Wkr., leuga'lea Holl.) (3 b). Very similar to semihyalina; separated 
by the median hyaline spots of the forewing being narrower and longer, and by a fine white transverse spot 
terminalis. being at the base of the abdomen. — terminalis Wkr., described according to 2 damaged specimens (one from 
constricla. the Congo, the other without statement of habitat) is probably the normal $ belonging to it. — constricta 
Btlr. exhibits in the distal part of the forewing the hyaline spots reduced in size and a broader black apex. 
West Africa. 
4. Genus: Myopsyche Hmps. 
This genus is purely Ethiopian; its-species live in West Africa, Madagascar, and Uganda. With pro¬ 
boscis and pectinate A antennae; forewing narrower than in most of the Geryx, the median branches on a 
stalk or from the same place; all the subcostal branches bifurcate behind the cell; in the hindwing the veins 
4 and 7 are absent. Rather small insects with an expanse of 2 to 3 cm. 
miserabilis. M. miserabilis Holl. (3 c). Forewing hyaline with a blackish patch from the cross-vein to the apically 
blackish-edged margin and a similar one on the lower median branch. Hindwing hyaline. Body blackish, on 
the patagia 2 white dots, base of abdomen and ring 5 are white. Ogowe in West Africa. 
cytogasier. M. eytogaster Holl. is coloured very much like the preceding, but at once recognisable by the base of 
abdomen being strangulated like a wasp. West Africa. 
malcomensis. M. niaKomensis Bird., based upon a crippled specimen doubtfully placed to this genus has the spots 
on the forewing arranged as in Epitoxis myopsychoides (4f). Makomo (West Africa).
