manjaro.

black spots. Forewing densely powdered with brown. Hindwing pale red. Both wings with a black lunar spot. 
52 mm. Eritrea. 
T. homeyeri Rothsch. (16 h). + Thorax tan-coloured; abdomen orange, at the base red. Forewing homeyeri. 
pale tan-coloured, costal margin carmine. Hindwing yellowish-white. Both with a black spot at the cross¬ 
vein. $ with a lighter thorax. Hind-margin of forewing carmine, hindwing orange-yellow. Both with a large 
black luna. 50 to 60 mm. Angola, East Africa. 
T. submacula Wkr. is a very variable species which must perhaps also be separated into 2 species, submacula. 
Thorax brown, abdomen ochreous-yellow, with subdorsal black spots. Forewing white, intensely irrorated 
with brown; on the cross-vein a black luna. Hindwing white (A), slightly irrorated with brown, at the hind- 
margin pink with a black lunar spot. Hindwing of $ carmine. Cape Colony. •— obscura Wkr. Forewing with dbscura. 
a more or less developed median and distal band, brown; — debilis Fldr. (16 h) has, besides these two bands, debilis. 
also a more distinctly developed proximal band. Natal. —■ albiplaga form. nov. Forewing with quite faded albiplaga. 
markings excepting a distinct white basal spot below the cell extending to vein 2. Besides a white dentate 
line before the margin. South West Africa. — strigosa Mschlr. (= rosea Btlr.). Forewing reddish-grey, densely strigosa. 
powdered with blackish-brown, with a black lunar spot on the cross-vein. An obsolete cuived median and 
distal band is recognisable. Hindwing of £ ochreous-yellow, at the costal margin and hind-margin broader 
pink than submacula and the other forms, of $ pink with a large lunar spot. Natal. -— natalica Mschlr. Ground- natalica. 
colour of forewing yellowish-white. A curved proximal line is rather distinct; the whole median area is dark, 
mostly in the centre somewhat strangulated. Behind it a distal band and spots before the margin. Natal. 
In Entom. Tidskr. 1899, p. 238 seq., Prof. Aurivillius deals with quite a series of Arctiids which are doubtful to 
him, such as Arnphicallia incomparabilis Mab., Spit, colini, robleti, Arct. gala.ctina Slab. As they have mostly also been omitted 
in Hampson’s treatise on the Arctiids of the British Museum, they have also been left out in our work. 
VII. Subfamily: CaSlImorpliioae. 
The African Callimorphinae are not numerous, hut in the genus Arnphicallia they contain very large and variegated 
species, though no African species is able to compete with the gigantic Indian forms such as Moorca argus many specimens 
of which are even much larger than that figured in Vol. X, pi. 26 f. The yellow and black colours are also much represented 
in the African Callimorphinae. Their figure is slender and graceful, the abdomen, which in the Arctiinae is often clumsy and 
behind very stout, is here much more graceful and mostly purely cylindrical. The neuration of the Callimorphinae already 
approximates the following group from which, however, they are distinguished by the larvae of which not many are yet known. 
In contrast with the rather monophagous Nyctemerinae being almost entirely confined to Senecio, many Callimorphinae are 
polyphagous. The imagines fly in the daytime, but also at night, just like the European Hera ( Callim. quadripunctata) which 
was discovered by C. Dietzs swarming on blossoms at 11 p. m. (Seitz.) 
Characterized by a moderately long proboscis, a somewhat longer proboscis than in most of the Arctiinae. 
In the forewing an accessory cell may be present or absent. In the hindwing vein 8 is only at the base fused 
with the cell for a short distance. 
1. Genus: ClarpostalagiMii Karsch. 
Second and third palpal joints long. 3 antennae filiform. In the forewing veins 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 forked, 
veins 10 forming an accessory cell with 7. In the hindwing vein 5 rises far above the angle, veins 6 + 7 forked, 
vein 8 near the base slightly fused with the cell, for which reason the genus was ranged here. Otherwise the 
only species makes the impression of an Agaristida. The thickened apex of the $ abdomen is also found in 
some Hypsidae. 
C. viridis Plotz (18 a). Thorax and abdomen orange. Forewing brownish green, often almost black, viridis. 
Near the base below the cell a large whitish-yellow spot. Hindwing as far as the cell-end and anal angle orange- 
yellow. Distal margin broadly bluish-black. 30 to 40 mm. Cameroon, Spanish Guinea, Congo, Ruwenzori. 
2. Genus: Caryatis Hbn. 
Palpi projecting beyond the head, but shorter than in Carpostalagma. Antennae of filiform. In the 
forewing veins 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 forked. In the hindwing vein 5 is differently shaped, vein 6 and 7 from 
the same place. Vein 8 is somewhat longer fused with the cell. Type: phileta Drury. 
C. phileta Drury (18 a). Thorax tan-coloured, with black and carmine stripes. Abdomen orange- phileta. 
yellow with black dots. Forewing blackish-brown, veins as far as the transverse band finely yellow. Band
