Ch. saalmiilleri Btlr. (9 c) is marked almost exactly like delicata, but much larger; one of the largest saalmulkn. 
Chionaema, with an expanse of 50 mm. Madagascar. 
Ch. africana Holl. (= porrima Holl.) (9 b). Easily recognizable by the transverse lines being dark africana. 
brown instead of light red; between them in the cell 2 dots. Ogowe River in West Africa. 
Ch. loloana Strd. is as small as africana (18 to 22 mm), otherwise similar to trigutta (9 a), but the loloana. 
forewing exhibits two rather indistinct orange-red, somewhat zigzag-shaped transverse lines which are thickened 
and yellow coloured at the costal margin. The lines almost touch the black dots. From Lolodorf in Cameroon. 
Ch. grandis Mab. (9 c). As the name says, a very large species (45 to 48 mm). Marking similar to grandis. 
bellissima (Vol. II, pi. 12 b), but the transverse lines pale honey-coloured instead of red, the body also marked 
with pale honey-coloirr. Madagascar. 
Ch. torrida Holl. (9 d). Forewing with yellow, somewhat dull transverse stiipes; the antemedian torrida. 
one only extending through the submedian area, the postmedian one being curved. At once recognizable by 
the dark brown hindwings. Bonita (West Africa). 
Ch. rejecta Wlcr. (= bipunctigera Wallgr.) (8 1) is quite differently coloured from all the other species; rejecia. 
wings uni-coloured orange-yellow, 2 black dots in the centre and at the end of the cell of the forewing. West 
and South Africa. 
27. Genus: Euproctosia Hmps. 
This genus was based upon a very small species from the Gold Coast. Quite similar to the Chionaema-, 
on the forewing the 1st subcostal branch for some distance rises together with the costal vein which it leaves 
again, terminating separately into the costal margin. The hair-lock in the costal region being present in so 
many <$($ of Chionaema , is absent here. 
E. cretata Hmps., from the Gold Coast, is very small (10 to 20 mm). Forewing ochreous whitish, cretata. 
strewn with brown. Base of wing and two irregular dentate nebulous bands in the forewing brown, at the cell-end 
3 dark brown punctiform spots. Hindwing chalky white without markings. Bibianaha (Gold Coast). 
28. Genus: Mauoba Wkr. 
This genus being otherwise listed by the prior name Stictane only occurs in Africa and New Guinea 
from which island, however, 8 species were described. The like those of the preceding genus, have no hair- 
lock on the forewing, nor any other androconia. Antennae rather strongly pinnate. As to further particulars, 
cf. Vol. X, p. 195. The species belong to the smallest macrolepidoptera known. 
M. progonia Hmps. (9 d) is not dissimilar to Chionaema marshalli (9 a), but smaller, with less distinct progonia. 
and dark spots; the brown nebulous spots are only distinct at the costal margin. Kikuyu in East Africa. 
M. apicalis Hmps. (9 d). Expanse of wings only 14 mm. Distal margin of forewing broadly blackish- apicalis. 
brown; also over the distal half of the hind-margin grey shadows. Tropical West Africa. 
M. atripuncta Hmps. (9 d) is just as small, but the forewing is dark yellowish with few small dark alripuncia. 
dots and 2 small costal spots; hindwing dark nut-brown, with stripe-shaped lighter areas and yellow- fringe. 
West Africa. 
M. geminata Mab. Still smaller (expanse of wings: 12 mm), otherwise almost the same as atripuncta geminata. 
(9 d), easily discernible by the very long antennal pinnae of the <$. Madagascar. 
29. Genus: Apothosia Hmps. 
In the neuration somewhat similar to Syntomimorpha caerulescens (Vol. X, pi. 15 k) from Celebes, 
but with a very small accessory cell in the forewing; in the hindwing vein 3 is forked with 4. Colouring quite 
different. Proboscis developed, antennae ciliated, hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. Forewing with a rounded 
apex; vein 3 and 5 rise near the lower cell-angle, 6 from the upper one, 9 and 10 anastomose, thus forming 
the very small areola; 11 separate. In the hindwing 5 rises directly above the cell-angle, 6 and 7 from its upper 
angle, 8 touches the iqiper cell-wall near its centre. Only one species discovered by Neave in the Shire Valley 
in British Central Africa. 
A. conformis Hmps. Described according to a single $. Body above ochreous yellow, forewing light cmformis. 
grey, the costal-marginal area ochreous-yellow, hind-margin towards the base tinted with ochreous. Fringes light 
ochreous, hindwing pale ochreous. Forewing beneath dark brown with yellow margins.
