white, from 3 / 5 of the costal margin to a little above the anal angle, in the first third inside and outside somewhat 
thickened. Hind wing orange-yellow with a black margin to vein 2. In the hindwing vein 5 is almost invariably 
entirely fused with 4. 40 to 50 mm. Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Congo. 
C. hersilia Drc. (18 a) is similar to phileta. Thorax and abdomen orange-red instead of yellow. On 
the fore wing the outer edge of the white band is straight or at vein 4 somewhat angular, its inner edge 
incurved towards the cross-vein. Hindwing orange-red instead of yellow. Only exceptionally the abdomen 
and hindwing are as yellow as in phileta. Vein 5 is still present as a short branch on vein 4. 40 to 50 mm. 
Range of phileta. 
C. stenoperas Hmps. Forewing lighter greyish-brown, the white band in the centre somewhat expanded. 
Hindwing orange-red with a black margin. 50 bum. Uganda. 
C. syntomina Btlr. (18 a). The white band of the forewing is about equally broad. Abdomen yellow, 
spotless. Hindwing dingy white. The blackish-brown marginal band almost extends to the anal angle, its 
inner edge being faded. Cross-vein blackish-brown. The white places in both the wings somewhat transparent. 
In the hindwing the cell is considerably longer, vein 5 rises with 4 from the same place, vein 8 is much longer 
fused with the cell than in the other species, so that there remains but little alliance with the other species of 
Caryatis. 42 to 48 mm. Cameroon, Sierra Leone. 
(C. rubriceps Mab. (Bull. Soc. Z. Fr. 1878) is omitted here, as it probably does not belong to this genus. 
The author compared it with Arctia villica.) 
3. Genus: Karscliiola gen. nov. 
Palpi and antennae as in Caryatis. Margin of forewing somewhat concave above vein 1. Neuration: 
vein 3 far before the lower cell-angle, 4 and 5 from the angle. Vein 6 from the upper angle together with 
veins 7 + 8 + 9 + 10. In the A also vein 11 is yet long-stalked, in the $ (type) not. On the hindwing near 
the anal angle at the hind-margin a very strong scent-pouch in the A- Neuration: vein 3 far before the lower 
cell-angle, vein 5 far above it, 6 -f- 7 forked (A) or from the same place, vein 8 fused with the cell for a long 
distance. , 
K. holoclera Karsch (18 b). Blackish-brown. Tegulae orange-yellow. Abdomen at the end red, in 
the A the extreme apex is again blackish-brown witli white lateral and sublateral dots. Forewing with a pale 
yellow band from 3 / 5 of the costal margin to the distal margin near vein 2. Hindwing in the cell and somewhat 
below it white, in the almost as far as the hind-margin. There above the anal angle a pouch with strong 
yellowish white scent-hairs. 60 to 65 mm. A from Lindi; +type from Usambara. 
4. Genus : Argiiia Him. 
Palpi as long as frons. Antennae of A filiform. Neuration of forewing: vein 6 from the upper angle, 
veins 7 + 8 + 9 forked, 10 forming with 7 a long narrow accessory cell. In the hindwing vein 5 rises above 
the cell-angle, 6 and 7 from the same place. Vein 8 near the base for a short distance fused with the cell. 
Hindwing of A M the anal angle pointedly extended. Type: cribraria M. 
A. cribraria Clerck. (Vol. X, pi. 26 d). The whole body and hindwing orange-yellow. Forewing mostly 
somewhat more reddish, with 5 rows of black spots surrounded with bluish; besides some spots at the base 
and on the cross-vein. Hindwing with a few black spots (mostly 4) and a row of submarginal spots. — In 
pantheraria Fldr. (18 b) the spots on the forewing are bluish-black without a black centre. 35 to 38 mm. 
East Africa, Madagascar, and in the neighbouring islands. — The species has been dealt with in the Indian 
part (Vol. X, p. 264). 
A. amanda Bsd. (= ocellina Wkr., cingulifera Wkr., albocincta Rmb.) (18 b). Both wings are equally 
intensely orange-yellow. The black spots on the forewing arranged in the same way as in cribraria. Sometimes 
the spots at the costal margin are somewhat confluent or margined with a yellowish white. Hindwing mostly 
only with a black spot at the cross-vein, besides the marginal spots. 35 to 42 mm. East Africa, Madagascar, 
South Africa, Cameroon. 
A. leonina Wkr. (18 b) may only be an extreme form of amanda. Forewing paler yellow. The white 
edge of the black dots are expanded into broad bands, almost removing the ground-colour. Hindwing the same 
as in amanda. Beneath in the forewing the black dots are surrounded by intense dark bands. 40 to 48 mm. 
Sierra Leone, Togo, Tanganyika. 
5. Genus: Ainphlcal]an Aur. 
Palpi as long as frons. Antennae of $ filiform. Neuration of forewing: Vein 6 from the upper angle, 
veins 7 + 8 and 9 + 10 forked. In the hindwing 5 rises a little above the cell-angle, veins 6 and 7 slightly 
separated. Type: bellatrix Dalm.
