3. Genus: Homoeomeria Wllgr. 
Easily discernible from Stilpnotia by vein 8 of hindwing being for a long distance fused with the anterior 
edge of the cell. Probably also some species mentioned in the preceding genus belong hereto; the genus Pteredoa 
seems also to be united with it. The genus is purely Ethiopian. 
H. flavicapilla Wllgr. (20 b). Wings white, costal margin of forewing, particularly beneath, yellow, 
head and collar yellow. Expanse 30 to 35 mm. South and British East Africa. 
H. nivea Auriv. (20 b) is easily separated from the former by the white head. Expanse 34 mm. -— 
In the form reimeri Strd. (28 g) the forewing is somewhat more pointed, the distal margin more oblique, the form 
being somewhat smaller (expanse: $ 30, $ 22 mm). East Africa. 
4. Genus: Psemlarctia B.-Bak. 
Forewing without accessory cell, veins 7 to 10 forked, 10 at about y 4 of the stalk, 7 beyond the centre 
of it. On the hindwing vein 8 only touches the cell in one place. Hitherto only 1 Ethiopian species is known. 
Ps. nivea B.-Balc. Body white, legs white, femora laterally red, tibiae and tarsi laterally brown. 
Antennae blackish. Wings of a pure white colour, expanse 52 mm. Uganda. 
5. Genus: JLeucoma Steph. 
This genus has but one representative in Africa. Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs, forewing with or 
without an accessory cell, in the latter case vein 10 from the cell, 7 nearly from the centre of the stalk of 
8 + 9, in the hindwing 6 + 7 forked, 4 nearer to 5 than 3. The genus is also represented in the palearctic, 
Indian, and American Faunae. Cf. Vol. II, p. 123, and Vol. X, p. 308. 
L. vosseleri Grilnb. (21 b). Forewing dark brown, in the centre an oblique light transverse spot. 
Hindwing black with a white longitudinal stripe from the base to 1 / 3 of the distal margin. German East Africa. 
6. Genus: Hexaueiira. 
As neither of the species described was before me, I was unable to supply a definition of the genus. 
H. cinnamomea Wllgr. According to the description the wings are pale cinnamon-brown, towards 
the margins paler; antennae black, palpi cinnamon-brown. Caffraria. 
H. maculifera Wllgr. Forewing grey with a black discoidal spot, hindwing above whitish, antennae 
grey, palpi black. Caffraria. 
7. Genus: Schalidomltra Strd. 
Owing to the structure of the tympanal organ being similar to that in the Agaristidae, it probably 
belongs to the Noctuidae, but it was described as a Lymantriid. Frons with a coniform projection, beyond 
which the palpi project yet. Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. End of abdomen of $ with a woolly tuft. Forewing 
with an accessory cell. 11 separate, 10 forked with 8 + 9, 7 from the centre of the accessory cell, 6 separated 
afar from it. In the hindwing 8 is fused for some distance with the anterior edge of the cell, 6 + 7 forked, 
3 and 4 from the same place. In both wings vein 5 rises very far in front. But 1 species. 
S. ambages Strd. (21 a). Forewing white, with a black antemedian and postmedian line, a black dot 
in the centre of the cell and at the cell-end, between the two lines the space above the hind-margin is filled 
up with black. At the margin a series of black spots. Hindwing yellow, dots on the cross-vein, marginal 
dots, and a dark indistinct median line are black. German East Africa. 
8. Genus: Clreagra Wllgr. 
Forewing with an accessory cell, vein 10 from the centre of it, veins 9 + 8 forked from its apex, 7 from 
the accessory cell, 6 nearing the accessory cell. In the hindwing vein 3 is farther remote from 4 than 4 is from 
5, veins 6 and 7 from the same place or forked, 8 touching the cell only in one place. Palpi short, hind 
tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. The genus, as much as we know so far, is exclusively Ethiopian.
