A. atrifascia Rothsch. (15 g). Thorax reddish-brown. Abdomen and forewing yellowish-brown. Eorewing atrifascia. 
with a faded black streak below the cell as far as the base of vein 2 and a little above it in the cell, extending 
to the beginning of vein 5. On the cross-vein and at the margin black dots. Hindwing more brownish, particu¬ 
larly at the margin. 32 mm. East Africa. 
A. angustipennis Wkr. (15 g). Thorax somewhat reddish-brown. Abdomen and wings ochreous- angusiipen- 
brown. Fore wing with blackish-brown stripes at the median vein and vein 1. 50 mm. Cape Colony. -— It 
might be possible that this is the $ of atrifascia, as in this genus the difference of size of the sexes is considerable. 
VI. Group of Genera. 
In the place of the genuine Arctiinae which are not represented in Ethiopian Africa, we insert here a number of genera 
that are not connected with any of the groups of genera hitherto dealt with, and which, excepting Rhodogastria, scarcely look 
like Arctiidae. Though there are doubts with respect to these genera, yet it is certain that all the species which were later 
on placed to the type Anaphela stellata, which is n o Agaristida, are genuine Agciristidne, mostly from the genus Rhodia Ww. 
This is probably the place of juncture between the great division of Nbciuiform.es composed of the Agaristidae + 
Noctuidae, the close alliance of which has often been hinted at (Yol. Ill, p. 5; Vol. VII, p. 3; Vol. XI, p. 1; Vol. XV, p. 1) 
and the Arctianae, as well as between the Lymantriidae and the Ilypsinae. 
The following genera differ also so much that they are difficult to comprise. 
1. Genus: J*roseIiaIiphora Hmps. 
Proboscis and palpi short, frons pointedly projecting. Antennae of G bipectinate. Tibiae with rather 
long spurs, hind tibiae with 2 pairs. Neuration of forewing as in Antarctia. In the hindwing vein 5 is considerably 
above the cell-angle. Type: cilricostata Hmps. 
P. cilricostata Hmps. (15 g). Thorax yellow; abdomen orange, above somewhat brownish. Forewing cUricostaia. 
pale yellow, margins lemon-coloured. A curved distal line of black dots, besides some dots at the cross-vein, 
at vein 2 and below it. Hindwing lemon-coloured with a black median spot. 34 mm. East Africa. 
P. butti Rothsch. (15 h). The whole body is yellowish-brown, wings silvery white. Forewing with 2 butti. 
distinct black lines. The proximal line almost straight, vertical, the distal line S-shaped and touching the 
streak on the cross-vein below. On both wings fine black marginal dots. Fringes in front and behind yellow. 
28 mm. Natal, Cape Colony. 
P. albida Hmps. (= trajecta Grunb.) (15 h) is similar to butti. Abdomen lighter yellow. On the forewing albida, 
both lines are finer, almost parallel. 30 mm. South West Africa, Mozambicpie, Transvaal. 
2. Genus: €*rammarctia Aur. 
Proboscis present. Frons boss-shaped. Antennae thin in $ and 9- In the forewing vein 10 is separate 
and forms an accessory cell with 7. 
G. bilinea Wkr. (15 h). Head black, thorax yellowish-white, abdomen orange. Forewing yellowish- bilinea . 
white with a black band in the submedian fold and a short one from the centre of the cell almost to the distal 
margin. Fine black marginal dots. Hindwing orange-yellow. 28 to 30 mm. Natal, Mashonaland. 
3. Genus: IProeauthia Hmps. 
Proboscis absent, palpi short, frons somewhat boss-shaped. Antennae also in the $ pectinate. Thorax 
broad, with rough scales. Tibiae with short spurs. Forewing pointed, veins 7 + 8 + 9 forked. Veins 9 and 10 
form an accessory cell. In the hindwing veins 6 + 7 are forked. 
P. distanti Dew. (= argentea Hvips.) (15 g). Thorax yellow, mixed with grey and brown. Abdomen distanii. 
orange with black margins. Forewing silvery white with 2 yellow, black-edged bands. The proximal one is 
bent outward, almost touching the ring-macula. The distal one as far as vein 2 parallel to the distal margin, 
then vertical. The central area in the $ for the greatest part black, in the $ but little black. Subterminal dots 
black, fringes yellow. Hindwing white, in the $ at the margin somewhat brown. 30 to 40 mm. Cape Colony. 
4. Genus: Anaphela Wkr. 
Proboscis small. Palpi hairy, short. Antennae of A bipectinate. Thorax hairy. Neuration of forewing: 
veins 3, 4, 5 separate; vein 6 rising below the upper angle; veins 8 + 9 + 10 forked, vein 10 together with
