A. hampsoni Eothsch. (15 a). Head, thorax, and apex of abdomen brownish, the rest pink, with black hampsoni. 
dorsal dots. Forewing pale brown, at the costal margin red, with proximal and distal black dots above vein 1 
and at the upper cell-angle . Hindwing brownish-white with black spots on the cross-vein and before the margin. 
— albescens Gaede. Wings white with smaller black dots. 32 to 46 mm. Gold Coast, Cameroon. albe cens.

The following species is.quite different and does not fit into any group. Fore¬

A. seminigra Hmps. (15 a). Thorax black. Abdomen orange, at the base red with subdorsal and lateral seminigra. 
black spots. Forewing black with an indistinct luna on the cross-vein and 4 indistinct dark bands. Hindwing 
white, at the distal margin yellowish, at the base reddish, with some black dots. Abdomen and hindwing in 
the $ more yellow. 40 mm. Abyssinia. 
6. Genus: Hyphantria Harr.

H. strigulosa Hmps. (= atropunctata Faivc.) (15 a). Head and thorax yellowish-white, abdomen strigulosa. 
orange. Forewing yellowish-white, at the costal margin orange, at the base some short black streaks; a distal 
row of dots and one before the margin, in both cases the dots somewhat oblong. Hindwing white with a black 
discal dot. In the $ the head, thorax, and forewing is more yellow, forewing more intensely marked. Hindwing 
reddish-yellow with a black streak in the submedian fold. 36 mm. Transvaal. 
H. atripes Hmps. (15 a). Body white, abdomen in the centre with yellow subclorsal spots and black atripcs. 
lateral dots. Forewing white, costal margin yellowish. A proximal and median dentate row of black dots and 
some at the cross-vein. The distal row of dots is excurved in the centre of the wing. Behind it a similarly 
curved subterminal row. Hindwing white. 36 mm. Gold Coast. 
7. Genus: I*oecilarctla Aur. 
Proboscis short, antennae of the with short double pectinations, thorax hairy. Spurs normally long, 
hind tibiae with terminal spurs. Neuration; vein 3 near the cell-angle, 4 and 5 from the angle. Veins 7 + 8 + 9 
forked, and veins 10 + 11 on a long fork. In the hindwing no veins are forked. 
P. venata Aur. (13 f). Head yellowish with a black spot. Thorax white with a black median line, venaia.

costal margin at the base carmine. Hindwing yellow, veins 6 to 8 at the margin narrowly black. 42 mm. Mashona 
Land. 
8. Genus: StenarctiaAttr. 
Proboscis well developed, antennae of the 3 with short double pectinations, spurs long, abdomen projec¬ 
ting far beyond the hindwing. Costal margin of forewing in the typical species at % somewhat angular. Fore¬ 
wing only moderately broad. Neuration: Veins 3, 4 and 5 separate, vein 6 below the upper cell-angle, veins 
7 + 8 + 9 forked. In the hindwing veins 4 + 5 forked. Exclusively Ethiopian. — Type: quadripunctata Aur. 
St. quadripunctata Aur. (15 b). Head black, thorax and forewing violettish-brown. Abdomen orange- quadripunc- 
yellow with a median row of large black dots and 2 lateral rows of small ones, at the apex red. Forewing at iata - 
the base darker with 3 obsolete bands, the 2 first of which are brought into prominence by larger costal spots 
and smaller ones below them. Hindwing at the base orange, in the distal area pale brown. 34 mm. Ogowe. 
— fucosa form. nov. (15 b) has much darker forewings and more distinct bands. The spot on the cross-vein fucosa . 
is absent. Hindwing as dark as forewing. Abdomen above carmine, only beneath orange. 30 to 38 mm. Congo. 
In the two following species the costal margin of the forewing is scarcely angular. 
St. griseipennis Hmps. (15 b). Thorax and forewing brown. Forewing with an entirely faded proximal griseipen- 
and distal band. Black dots in the centre of the cell and on the cross-vein. Veins lighter. Abdomen and ms * 
hindwing yellow. Hindwing at the distal margin broadly pale brown. 38 mm. Niger.
