L. quadripunctata Dew. (20 i). Eorewing of a pure white with three ochreous-yellow transverse bands, 
the central one of which is somewhat clistally convex at most. Between the basal band and the discal band 
behind the cell a black dot, a group of black dots at the cross-vein, a series of black submarginal dots. Hinclwing 
varying from white to yellowish. From Togo to the Congo. — In sexpunctata Dist. (20 i) the second transverse 
band of the forewing is sharply flawed distally. South and East Africa. 
L. albula Fawc. Body white, abdomen golden yellow, at the base and end white, only a black shadow 
at the costal margin beyond the cell and at the hind-margin before the tornus. Margin on both wings with 
black internerval dots. Hind wing white. Expanse: 24 mm. British East Africa. 
L. pulverea Dist. (= pubescens Swh.) (20 i). Like L. picta f. suffusa, but the yellow stripes in the 
forewing narrower and more orange, ground-colour not so purely white. — In the form ochrea form. nov. (20 i) 
the hindwing is powdered with yellow instead of blackish and it has black marginal dots at most, whilst the 
forewing varies from whitish to lead-colour. South Africa. 
L. sarcistis Hmps. Similar to sarcistoides (2-2-a); ground-colour of forewing orange-yellow, irrorated 
with whitish, costal margin more orange-yellow; a subbasal curved transverse line, an antemedian line being 
sharply distally angled on the posterior edge of the cell, and a very oblique postmedian line orange-yellow. 
Hindwing orange-yellow. Under surface of forewing, excepting the margins, powdered with blackish. Expanse: 
28 mm. Natal. 
L. sarcistoides spec. nov. (21 a) is separated from sarcistis bj- only the antemedian and postmedian 
lines of the fore wing being distinct; a subbasal spot in the fold, some dots at the cross-vein and a terminal row 
of dots are black. Hindwing and both wings beneath ochreous-yellow, with a row of black dots at the margin, 
beneath on both wings the cross-vein with a black dot. $ type in the Berlin Museum. It may be a $ form 
of sexjmnctata which it resembles rather much in the marking. German East Africa, Mkalama. 
L. heterosticta Hmps. Body white, patagia with orange spots, anal tuft blackish-brown. Forewing 
white, subbasal orange spots below the costal margin and the cell, an antemedian spot below the costal margin, 
another spot below the cell, a spot above vein 1, an orange spot on the cross-vein. A postmedian row of 
dots, distally convex as far as below the cell-end, then straight ; the spots below veins 5 and 4 sometimes black. 
Hinclwing white. Expanse: 22 to 28 mm. Uganda. — Separated from Eupr. gemmata by the absence of orange 
spots at the margin. 
L. argyroleuca Hmps. Abdomen white, at the end yellowish. Forewing silvery white, costal margin 
brown. An orange-yellow subbasal band, a similar antemedian band interrupted at the veins, distally curved 
in the cell, a postmedian band of orange-red spots, on vein 4 distally curved, then proximad, spots below veins 
4 and 5 black. The spot on the cross-vein and a subterminal row of spots are orange-red. Hindwing white. 
Expanse: 24 mm. Southern Nigeria. — Likewise very similar to Eupr. gemmata. 
L. melanostida Hmps. (21 a). Abdomen yellowish-white, with black rings. Eorewing white, costal 
margin narrowly blackish. A black antemedian dot below the cell, traces of a yellow antemedian and post median 
line, 3 black dots at the cell-end, and one each below veins 4 and 5, a row of black subterminal dots. Hinclwing 
pale yellow with a subterminal row of black dots from the apex to vein 2, and a spot on the cross-vein; both 
may, however, be absent. Expanse: 30 mm. Uganda, German East Africa. 
L. flavitincta Hmps. Body ochreous-yellow. Forewing feebly yellow, scantily powdered with blackish. 
The antemedian line is yellow, somewhat curved. Two black dots at the end of the cell and one behind them. 
The postmedian line is yellow, obliquely from the costal margin to below the cell, then straight, traces of an 
oblicpie brownish subterminal shadow, and a row of black dots at the margin. Hindwing white. Expanse: 
24 mm. British East Africa. 
L. gemmatula n. sp. (28 cl). Body white, tegulae orange, anal tuft black. Otherwise quite similar 
to gemmata , but no black spots in the postmedian line, the accessory cell of the forewing large, vein 11 rising 
from the centre of that cell, veins 3 and 4 in the forewung distinctly separate. Angola. $ type from Caconda 
in the Tring Museum. 
L. robusta sp. n. (28 d) is quite similar to gemmatula, but the anal tuft is yellowish-brown, vein 11 
in the forewing rises with the accessory cell from the same place, in the hindwing veins 3 and 4 are forked. 
Wings shorter and broader. Cameroon. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
33. Genus: ISuproctillopsis nov. 
Hind tibiae only with 1 pair of spurs. Palpi moderately long. Forewing with an accessory cell, vein 
11 separate, 10 rises from the accessory cell before 7, 8 -f 9 from its end forked, 6 from the same place with 
the accessory cell. In the hind wing vein 3 is nearer to 4 than 4 to 5, 5 rising far in front, 6 -j- 7 forked, 
8 connected with the cell by a short cross-vein. Genotype:
