C. testacea Wkr. (20 cl). The whole imago is lighter or darker ochreous-yellow, with a frequently testacea. 
distinct brown spot on the cross-vein of the forewing. $ much more hyaline than the E- South and East Africa. 
— In the form seminuda Hmps. the spot on the cross-vein of the forewing is absent. seminuda. 
C. unipunctata Wichgr. Like testacea, but forewing more slender, the dot of the cross-vein is situate unipunda- 
already at the base of the cell 3, not 4 as in testacea. Expanse 25 mm. German East Africa. 
C. sericea Hmps. (20 d). Like the preceding, but fore wing white with a silky gloss, costal margin sericea. 
of forewing ochreous-yellow, forewing invariably without a spot on the cross-vein. Range of the preceding 
species. 
C. venata Swh. (20 e). Described as Caduca venata, but owing to the veins, tibial blade and spurs venata. 
it belongs hereto. Wings greyish hyaline, with dark veins. Abdomen yellow, above with black segmental 
margins. Expanse 35 mm. Bike (West Africa). 
C. phlebitis Hmps. (20 e). (Described as Laelia, but in the hindwing 4 is nearer to 5 than to 3!). Similar phlebitis. 
to testacea, but without the spot on the cross-vein, all the veins being dark brown, the costal margin of the 
forewing at the base blackish, hindwing unicoloured, lighter than forewing. South and East Africa. 
C. sudanica Strd. (21 d). Greyish-brown with a slight ochreous-yellowish hue. Wings almost hyaline, sudanica. 
Expanse 44 mm. It recalls Cropera testacea (20 d), though it is darker, greyish-brownish. Sudan. 
C. stilpnaroma sp. n. (20 e). Entirely corresponding with Stilpnaroma venosa (21 e), but the hind stilpnaro- 
tibiae have 2 pair of spurs, forewing with accessory cell. East Africa. type from Lake Nyassa in the Berlin 
Museum. 
17. Genus: Crorema Wkr. 
Forewing with accessory cell, vein 11 from the cell, 10 from the accessory cell, as well as the forked 
veins 8 + 9; vein 7 forked with 8 + 9 or rising together with them, 6 distantly separated from the accessory 
cell; in the hindwing 6 + 7 forked, 4 nearer to 5 than to 3. Palpi short, hind tibiae with middle and terminal 
spurs, the latter several times longer than the width of the tibia. Hitherto only African species are known. 
C. mentiens Wkr. (= obliqua Wkr., ampla Wkr., sulphurea Plotz) (20 e). Pale sulphur-coloured, $ mentiens. 
more ochreous yellow, legs brown. Fore wing and body with a brown line being interrupted on the veins and 
extending from the apex to % of the hind-margin, somewhat convex towards the base. Hindwing much paler. 
Sierra Leone to Angola. 
C. euproctoides sp. n. (21 b) is of the habitus of an Euproctis. Body and wings yellow, forewing with euprodoi- 
3 orange-red spots, the largest at the base of the cell between veins 3 and 4, smaller ones above and below des - 
vein 2. $ type from Nzaso, German East Africa, in the Berlin Museum. 
C. adspersa H.-Schaff. (= prolixa Wllgr.) (20 f). Similar to mentiens, darker yellow, in the forewing adspersa. 
instead of the brown line a row of isolated spots which is almost rectangularly flawed between the veins 3 and 4 
and does not reach the hind-margin. From the Congo to South and East Africa. 
C. fulvinotata Btlr. Similar to adspersa, larger, body and wings more yellow; the spots of the forewing fulvinotata. 
are orange instead of brown. Expanse 40 to 47 mm. Zomba, Central Africa. — The species, according to Janse, 
is said to be identical with Laelia setinoides Holl. (23 b); also Laelia evanescens Hmps. (23 b) belongs to this 
genus owing to the veins. 
C. staphylinochrous sp. n. (21 b) is quite similar to the Zygaenid genus Staphylinochrous. Body and staphyli- 
wings ochreous yellow, marginal areas of both wings and veins blackish-brown, all being thinly scaled. Angola. nochrous. 
3 type from Quisoll in the Berlin Museum, paratype in the Tring Museum. 
C. crocipes Bsd. (20 f). Wings hyaline white, base of costal margin of forewing, chest and legs ochreous- crocipes. 
yellow. Madagascar. 
C. eleuteria Stoll (20 f). Forewing white, costal margin, apical portion as far as the cell and all the eleuteria. 
veins dark brown. Hindwing of a pure white. In the $ and sometimes in the B the blackish-brown colouring 
is only yet visible on the veins. Sierra Leone to Congo. 
18. Genus: Ituamla Strd. 
Very similar to the preceding genus, with very short spurs of the hind tibiae, nearly as long as the 
tibia is broad. Only known from Africa. 
R. aetheria Strd. (21 b). Body yellowish, wings hyaline dull grey, with darker veins, and a darker aetheria. 
basal line of the fringes. German East Africa.
