30. Genus: Anaphosia Hmps. 
This purely African genus contains the most beautiful forms found amongst the Ethiopian Lithosiinae. 
In Tropical Africa to which they are confined they represent the place occupied by the Stigmatophora in Eastern 
Asia, the Endrosa and Philea in Europe, the Hypoprepia in North America, and the Cisthene in South America; 
in Australia they are represented by the Euthane which, however, are much lazier in flying. They are rather 
large white or yellow lepidoptera, the forewings crossed by 2 transverse lines, when at rest clinging to blades, 
flying a few yards away on being chased up, in order to settle again on the grass of the steppe. Colouring 
slightly resembling that of the Teracotana, some also inhabiting the same patria as the latter. They have a 
well developed proboscis, very small palpi the apices of which are arched yet by the frons; in the forewing 
the neuration is almost as in Carcinopodia to which the genus is very closely allied, but in the hindwing vein 
5 which is absent in that genus is present here, rising with 3 and 4 from the lower cell-angle. Anterior tibiae 
outside with a small claw. Type: cyanogramma Hmps. 
A. parallela B.-Bak. (9 d). Forewing with 2 almost parallel, somewhat irregular, proximally convex, 
plain dark lines. Angola. 
A. astrigata Hmps. (9 d). The distal transverse line bifurcates in the apical area and terminates into 
the costal margin directly before the apex, whereby it resembles Carcinopodia furcifasciata, in which, however, 
the hindwing is of a brighter orange. Congo and Mashona Land, and German East Africa. 
A. cyanogramma Hmps. (9 e). In the forewing the distal branch of the fork of the distal transverse 
line terminates into the distal margin, and a second longitudinal streak connects the centre of the margin with 
the centre of the distal transverse line. Costal margin and hind-margin thickly black. Congo and Mashona 
Land. 
A. aurantiaca Hmps. (9 e), from the Transvaal. Only the costal margin of the forewing is black, not 
the hind-margin. The distal transverse line also despatches two rays, but the upper ray branches off before 
the distal margin and extends parallel to it into the costal margin. 
A. pectinata Hmps. (9 e) is almost like aurantiaca, but distinguished by a black distal margin of the 
hindwing. Congo. 
A. mirabilis Btlr. (9 e). All the margins of the wings except the hind-margin of the hindwing are 
thickly black, also the lines on the forewing, which are arranged as in the preceding species. British East Africa. 
A. eurygrapha Hmps. (9 e) is like mirabilis, all the stripes on the forewing are thick, but there is another 
streak on the median between the two transverse lines. Margin of hindwing with a broad dark, proximally 
lighter marginal band. Rhodesia. 
31. Genus: Clai*cinopo<lia Hmps. 
Very near to the Anaphosia, but vein 5 of the hindwing is absent. Type: furcifasciata Btlr. 
C. furcifasciata Btlr. (9 e) is almost exactly like Anaph. astrigata (9 d); the distal transverse line like¬ 
wise bifurcates before the apex and both the branches extend into the costal margin; but the ground-colour 
of the hindwing is dark golden yellow and that of the forewing pale golden yellow. British Central Africa. 
C. schoutedeni Strd. is similar, but the distal transverse line of the forewing does not bifurcate. Congo 
(Kitobola). 
C. argentata Dist. (9 f) forms an intermediary stage between the two preceding species; the distal 
branch of the fork is present, but it only coheres with the transverse line on the costa, whilst in the disc it 
is separated from it. Pretoria. 
32. Genus: Onychipo<lfa Hmps. 
This genus being already closely allied to the Lithosia derives its name from the large, very much curved 
spur inside at the end of the very short anterior tibia. Proboscis stunted; palpi very short, with a rudimentary 
terminal joint. Frons very convex. Purely Ethiopian. 
0. nigricostata Btlr. (= bimarginata Roth.sch.) (9 f) almost looks like a large Pseudlepista flavicosta 
(9 h), but the costa of the forewing is distinctly though narrowly black. East Africa. 
0. straminea Hm.ps. (9 f). Forewing ochreous-brownish, margined with yolk-colour. Hindwing dull 
orange-yellow. Uganda. 
0. flavithorax Rothsch. (9 f) has broader wings. Fore wing silvery yellowish-grey with a brownish 
tint, margined with golden yellow. Hindwing pale yellow. Thorax in front, costal margin of forewing, and 
abdomen deep orange. Angola.
