Pii. ochreata Hmps. (11 g) is smaller than squamosa, forewing more pale ochreous-brown with a yellow ochre ila. 
tint, at the distal margin and costa orange. Hindwing greyish-brown. Central Africa. 
Ph. nyassana Strd. (11 g) is very closely allied to the preceding species; colouring more ochreous than nyassana. 
in ochreata, expanse somewhat larger (25 mm). Last palpal joint jet-black. Nyassa Land. 
Ph. holoxantha limps., from Portuguese East Africa, seems to be very similar to nyassana-, just as holoxantha. 
large, forewing orange, with a brownish tint; hindwing light orange. Under surface uniformly orange-yellow. 
Ph. interstiteola Hmps. (11 g) is very similar to the preceding ones, the forewing is more pale ochreous inlerslileo- 
than orange, but the costal margin of a deeper ochreous colour, the veins somewhat lighter, so that the spaces 
between them are more conspicuous, which fact is expressed by the name. Transvaal. 
Ph. flavicosta Hmps. (11 g). Here the forewing is whitish-yellow, only the costa dark yellow like the flavicosia. 
whole hindwing. Sierra Leone. 
Ph. elongata Aur. Forewing long and narrow, quite uni-coloured yellowish red-brown. Hindwing elongaia. 
ochreous. Expanse: 38 mm, thus much larger than the preceding species. 
Ph. curta Rothsch. (11 h) is almost as large as dongata (expanse 32 mm), but the wings are shorter curia. 
and broader, the forewing is light yellowish-grey with a yellow costal-marginal stripe; hindwing pale yellow. 
Angola. 
Ph. albescens Aur. (11 h) is lighter yellow, forewing almost whitish-yellow, feebly strewn with a darker albescens. 
colour. In front of the marginal area a dark nebulous stripe from the hind-margin to behind the cell. Hindwing 
pale yellow. Shape and size similar to curta. East Africa. 
Ph. jaundeana Strd. (11 h). Exterior recalling that of a $ of (Jeon, quadra, dull honey-coloured with jaundeana. 
black dots at the costa and in the submedian area of the forewing; probably near to eningae (10 b). Cameroon. 
10b. 
Ph. costimacula Mob. ( quadripunctata Rothsch.) is widely distributed in West Africa. Quite costimacula. 
similar to jaundeana, but much smaller (expanse 34 mm, of jaundeana 40 mm). The body beneath being blackish 
in jaundeana is here lighter. — In typical specimens the forewing is of a rather bright orange-yellow, whereas 
in the still smaller (expanse 24 to 30 mm) form decipiens Holl., from the Ogowe, the ground-colour of the decipiens. 
forewing is dull, reddish-yellow. 
Ph. loloana Strd. (11 h) is likewise similar to the preceding species, but both wings are uniformly loloana. 
dull yellowish-white; the two dots on the forewing are equally large and the upper one a little removed under 
the costal margin, though not so far as in Lithosia distigmata (10 a) which the species resembles otherwise. 
$ and $ only distinguished by a slight difference in size. Cameroon. 
Ph. asperatella Wkr. (11 h) looks like a small specimen of loloana, but the forewing is irrorated with asperatella. 
a greyish brown; hindwing more yellow, and the costal dot of the forewing touches the costal margin, whereas 
in loloana it is somewhat removed from it. — sordida Fldr. is a very large form (expanse 37 mm) with sulphur- sordida. 
coloured hindwings and drab forewings which exhibit a dark transverse stripe from the centre of the costal 
margin to the centre of the hind-margin, instead of the two dots. Cape Colony, Nigeria. — subasperatella Strd. 
is a name only given ,,conditionally“ if certain specimens found in Natal should not prove to be genuine asperatella. 
Ph. tessmanniana Strd. (11 i) is still smaller than the preceding ones (expanse only 19 mm); forewing tessmannia- 
on the yellowish-grey ground shaded with a dark brown, the two dots of the forewing as in asperatella. Hindwing nn - 
greyish-brown. According to Strand the species, by the neuration, forms a transition from Phryganopsis to 
Lithosia. Spanish Guinea. 
Ph. nigrapex Strd. (lli), from Cameroon, is larger, forewing dark greyish-brown, the two dots on nigrapex. 
the forewing distinctly blackish-brown, but also the margin of the forewing particularly at the apex blackish- 
brown; hindwing dark yellowish-brown. 
Ph. flavifrontella Strd. (11 i) is almost like the preceding ones, but in the forewing there are, instead 
of the black dots, small transverse streaks which almost touch each other and are situate more in the centre 
of the wing than beyond it. Hindwing light brownish-grey, towards the costal margin darker. Spanish Guinea. 
Ph. hemiphaea Hmps., from LTganda, differs from flavifrontella in the hindwing and the costal-marginal 
portion of the forewing being yellow, and instead of the two dots of the forewing a broad dark postmedian 
transverse stripe extends through the forewing. 
Ph. ilemimorpha Strd. (11 i). Head, thorax, and forewing greyish-brown. A scarcely (in one specimen 
almost not at all) visible dark transverse stripe extends in front of the marginal area through the forewing. 
Hind wing grey with a yellow tint. Cameroon. 
Ph. amaurobapha Mob. (lli). If I am not mistaken in the specimen of the Berlin Museum figured 
here, it must be very near to this species. On the dark brownish-grey forewing which is densely irrorated with 
flaviirontel-
