68 CINCIANA; PALAEOSICCIA; SICCIA. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
one specimen is known of fulvonigra in which, but only on the left side, 3 subcostal branches have a 
joint stalk). 
E. fulvinigra Hmps. (8 h) is thinly scaled, pale orange, the distal parts of all the wings as far as the 
cell-end broad blackish-brown. British East and Central Africa. 
E. atricincta Hmps. is cprite similar, slightly larger, the dark distal band is broad at the costa of the 
forewing, but it narrows down towards the hind-margin. Expanse of wings: 22 to 24 mm. British East Africa. 
10. Genus: Ouciana Strd. 
Allied with Cincia, Diduga, or Pasteosia. Proboscis present. Palpi long, thin. In the forewing vein 2 
rises far from the cell-angle, 3 also far from it, 4, 5 from the lower, 6 from the upper cell-angle, from which 
also the stalk of 7, 8, 9 rises. In the hindwing 2 rises yet before the cell-angle, 3 is forked with 4, 5 being absent, 
6 and 7 from the anterior cell-angle, 8 from the centre of the anterior cell-wall. Hind tibiae with 4 spurs. 
Only 1 species. 
C. nubica Strd. (8 i). Forewing ochreous-yellow, feebly tinged brownish, with 3 oblique, thin, indistinct 
transverse bands beginning parallel to each other below the costa (which they do not reach) and extending 
to the hind-margin. Hindwing diaphanous white, towards the margin yellowish. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. 
Nubia. 
11. Genus: I*alaeosiccia Hmps. 
Evidently closely allied to Philenora, but separated by the entirely stunted proboscis and the correspon¬ 
dingly badly developed palpi which hardly project in front. The antennae, however, show long pinnnae, and 
between the costal vein and the upper cell-wall there exists an anastomosis, the 1st subcostal branch touching 
the costal vein, but soon leaving it again, in order to terminate into the costal margin rather far before the 
apex. But 1 species. 
P. punctata Hmps. Size and shape as in Philenora m-nigrum (8 g), but of a white ground-colour, very 
feebly tinted yellowish, and instead of the dark transverse lines there are here only rows of dots, but an undulate 
nebulous stripe extends round the cell-end of the forewing, and is continued in short dents towards the centre 
of the hind-margin. Sierra Leone. 
12. Genus: Sieeia WJcr. 
This genus is almost entirely Ethiopian and Indo-Australian. It has already been briefly characterized 
in Vol. II, p. 52, in dealing with the (9) palearctic forms, the neuration having been decribed in Vol. X, p. 162. 
Hereto belong the Melania Wallgr.; besides, the representatives of the groups of Panassa Wkr. (= Auto- 
ceras Fldr.) and Aemene Wkr. are united with them. To the Ethiopian Fauna belong 13 forms; some more 
may be expected yet. Kirby and Strand include besides the ,,Lithosia pustulata “ Wallgr. from the Cape of 
Good Hope, and Pagenstecher briefly mentions yet an , .Aemene specP from Quilimana (East Africa) (= qui- 
limania Strd.). The type is S. cafjra. 
Division A: Antennae plainly ciliated. 
S. stictica Hmps. (8 h). Dull pale yellowish-brown. Forewing with traces of dots and of a curved 
postmedian transverse shadow. Hindwing almost white. Gold Coast. 
S. conformis Hmps. (8 h) is somewhat smaller than stictica, with less yellow tinted forewings, the 
dots very much increased, particularly at the costal margin. Before the proximal angle the hindmarginal area 
is crossed by 2 small parallel spots. Nigeria and East Africa. 
Division B: Antennae with lateral tufts of bristles {Aemene). 
S. microsticta Hmps. (8 i). Shape almost that of stictica, but still smaller, ground-colour of forewing 
chalky white, costal margin near the base blackish, on the forewing a few very fine, small scattered dots. Gold 
Coast. 
S. gypsia Hmps. resembles microsticta, but it is somewhat larger with broader wings. Forewings also 
chalky white, but with more distinct black dots, particularly those in the cell thick and round; distinct are 
also those before and below the apex and above the tornus at the margin. Gold Coast. 
S. cretata Hmps. (8 i) is quite similarly coloured as the two preceding species, but still larger than 
gypsia, with more dark dots, those in the disc being also distinct and margined. Sierra Leone. 
cretata.
