6. Genus: Phryganopteryx 
Proboscis present, palpi long, antennae thin in $ and + tibiae with short spurs. Veins in the forewing: 
vein 3 far before the angle, veins 7 + 8 + 9 forked, 10 forming with 7 an accessory cell. In the hinclwing vein 
3 rises from the angle, vein 4 + 5 on a short fork. Type: strigilata Saalm. 
P. strigilata Saalm. (16 f). Head black, tegulae yellow. Thorax and abdomen at the beginning and 
end blackish-brown, otherwise carmine. $: forewing greyish-brown with numerous short black longitudinal 
streaks and a distinct spot in the centre of the cs^l. Hindwing blackish-brown, with a yellow spot at the apex. 
3 with shorter broader wings. Forewing more brownish. The dark streaks only in the distal area distinct. 
A large basal spot is yellow and faded. 65 mm. Madagascar. 
P. feminina Rothsch. + similar to the $ of strigilata in the shape of the wings and the marking of 
the forewing. Separated from strigilata-<$ by the dark spotless thorax. Abdomen at the base with 3 (instead 
of 2 ) blackish-brown segments. Hindwing black. $: forewing narrower than in strigilata the striation more 
intense, larger. Besides a series of black triangular marginal spots. 66 to 68 mm. Madagascar. 
P. saalmiilleri Rothsch. Thorax drab; abdomen red with black median spots, at the base yellowish- 
grey, apex orange-broAvn. Forewing wood-coloured grey, with whiter veins. On the veins black dots forming 
the proximal line, and streaks forming the distal line. Black spots at the costal margin, in the median fold 
and in the cell. Hindwing (3) inside greyish-brown, outside wood-coloured grey. Hindwing of $ paler. 40 to 
42 mm. Madagascar. 
7. Genus: l*sirai>liryg;ijt Hmps. 
Separated from the preceding genus by the veins, otherwise of a similar exterior. In the forewing veins 
4 + 5 on a short fork, veins 7 + 8 + 9 forked, 10 forming with, the fork of 8 + 9 an accessory cell. Hinclwing 
rounded. Vein 2 near the angle, veins 3 + 5 on a short fork. 8 far connected with the cell. 
P. rectangulata Kenrick. (16 f). Thorax white and greyish-brown. Abdomen carmine, at the beginning 
and end orange-yellow. Forewing creamy-white. A proximal and distal band of large faded brown spots. Black 
streaks at the veins. Hindwing pale yellow. 48 mm. Madagascar. 
8. Genus: Teracotoua Btlr. 
Proboscis and palpi short, antennae thin. Anterior tibiae short with a double claw. Hind tibiae cclth 
1 pair of spurs. In the forewing veins 7 + 8 + 8 forked, 10 mostly forming with 7 an accessory cell. In the 
hindwing vein 5 far above the angle, veins 6 + 7 forked. Type: rliodophaea Wkr. 
T. euprepia Hmps. (16 g). Thorax brownish-white. Abdomen orange with subdorsal black spots. 
Forewing yellowish flesh-coloured. Veins black. Proximal line strongly bent, distal line excurved at vein 4. 
Vein 4 and the cross-vein are blackish broAvn. Hindwing carmine with a black luna and often some spots before 
the margin. - — trifasciata Brtl. (16 h). The two bands on the forewing are somewhat broader and behind them 
there is yet a third being somewhat widened at the hind-margin and above vein 5. - — pardalina Brtl. (= flavi- 
pennis Brtl.) (16 g) has 4 bands on the forewing. The two bands of the typical form are here narrow, the distal 
band (the third in trifasciata ) and the band in the median area being very broad. Sometimes they are broadly 
confluent in pairs. Hindwing more orange. — rufipennis Strd. is 1 + of pardalina, in which the otherwise broad 
band in the median area is narrow and extends within the base of vein 2. 40 to 55 mm. East Africa, Uganda, 
Transvaal. 
T. euprepioides Wichgr. Forewing creamy. On the first and second thirds 2 brown irregular bands. 
The proximal one is angular, formed of 7 spots. The second is interrupted at vein 5. A subapical band extends 
to vein 5. 56 mm. Angola. 
T. rhodophaea Wkr. (16 g). Thorax yellowish-white, abdomen as in euprepia. Eorewing broAvnish- 
white with a brown marking. Proximal line fine, sharply angular, may be absent. Median band proximally 
distinctly, distally more indistinctly defined, curved. At the cross-vein a black luna. Distal line dentate. Behind 
it a faded brown band and a light dentate line. Hindwing carmine with a black central dot. — quadripunctata 
Wichgr. ( = buryi Rothsch.) (16 g). In the hindwing with a large lunar spot and 3 large spots before the margin. 
— obscurior Wichgr. The two marginal spots in the forewing of rhodophaea beneath likewise large. The spots 
on the hindwing are larger, beneath almost forming a band. — irregularis Gaede (16 h) may be an extreme 
form of it (with abnormal neuration). Forewing brown, bands not noticeable. On the hindAving above only 
the costal margin and hind-margin, beneath also yet narrowly the distal margin carmine, otherAvise black. 
Beneath the forewing is carmine, behind the black lunar spot dark brown. 38 mm. Senegal. -— The other forms 
40 to 46 mm. Togo.
