it is bordered by a fine dark undulate line. Before the margin a row of pale yellowish internerval dots. Hindwing 
brownish-grey. Expanse: 31 mm. Lokoja. 
A. achrodisca Hmps. (22 g). Body brown, legs partly whitish. Forewing red-brown; antemedian 
line double, almost straight, the space between filled up with a more reddish colour, bordered by whitish. The 
area between the subbasal line and antemedian line is powdered with whitish. Postmedian line double, slightly 
curved. Subterminal line paler, very much curved; right before the margin a row of black dots, a reniform 
macula at the cell-end. The space around the postmedian line is lighter whitish. Hindwing blackish-brown, 
at the base lighter. Togo, Congo, and Rhodesia. — In deflecta subsp. nov. (22 g), from Senegal, the first ante¬ 
median line is very much distally curved in the cell, also the postmedian line more convex. The marginal area 
is almost blackish, so that the terminal dots disappear, the hindwing is basally not lighter, unicoloured blackish- 
brown, the $ in the forewing only with traces of transverse lines, otherwise uni-coloured light brow n. Expanse 
only 20 mm. C 2 types from Sedhiou in the Tring Museum. 
A. leonensis Hmps. In the forewing the same as deflecta ; hindwing greyish-brown, apical area dark 
brown, slantingly defined, from the centre of the costal margin to vein 2. Also beneath the apical portion is 
darker. Expanse: 32 mm. Sierra Leone. 
A. melanoleuca Hmps. (22 g). Body black, mixed with white. Forewing similar to achrodisca, the 
area at the post median band very distinct, purely milk-coloured. Hindwing black with a white central spot 
extending behind almost to 1 c. beneath, however, extended to the white-powdered hindmarginal area. Gaza- 
land, Tanganyika. In decolorata subsp. nov. (22 g), from Angola, the forewing is lighter, more yellowish- 
brown, the postmedian spot more indistinct, the light area of the hindwing hindward somewhat more extensive, 
beneath almost the whole wing is uniformly whitish, powdered with brown, only the apex, part of the marginal 
area, the cross-vein, and a discal line being brown. type from Quisoli in the Berlin Museum. 
A. quadrimaculata Janse. Similar to melanoleuca (22 g). Forew ing lighter mahogani-red. the transverse 
lines more distinct, whitish; the spot at the cell-end distinctly blackish, another spot at the costal margin at 
the beginning of the first post median line; the veins in the white area are reddish. Expanse: 27 mm. Rhodesia. 
A. nigripicta Holl. is doubtfully ranged here. Body blackish, abdomen with white rings, under surface 
white. Forewing smoky grey, near the centre with 2 black curved transverse bands, and some whitish spots 
at the liind-margin. Hindwing white, at the base blackish, apex broadly black, at the distal margin a row of 
black spots. Expanse: 34 mm. 
A. omissa Holl. Body clay-coloured. Abdomen with black dorsal tufts. Forewing clay-coloured, 
powdered darker; a black costal-marginal spot near the base, an almost square spot at the cell-end, above 
it at the costal margin 2 small likewise darker triangles. Hindwing yellowish-white, with a dark grey spot on 
the cross-vein; a row of similar spots at the anal angle. Under surface yellowish-white with a grey spot on 
the cross-vein. Expanse: 22 mm. Ogove. 
A. ticana Schs. <£• Clem, is doubtfully ranged here. Forewing dark brown, at the hind-margin and 
apex yellowish; sinuate basal, median and postmedian lines on the lighter portions of the wing edged with 
yellowish. At the cell-end 2 dark transverse streaks. Under surface light brown, in the disc darker, an almost 
straight postmedian line. Hindwing above greyish-brown, under surface lighter, with a ring at the cell-end 
and 2 transverse lines being brown. Expanse: 20 mm. Sierra Leone. 
49. Genus: liaeliolina gen. nov. 
Habitus of a Laelia, but structurally almost the same as Aroa (Ornithopsyche ), though in the hindwing 
3 and 4 rise separately, but nearer than 4 and 5. Wings not short and broad, but more oblong. Genotype: 
L. paetula sp. n. (28 e). Body ochreous yellowish-brown, forewing the same, with a black dot at 
the cross-vein, with a postmedian row of black dots, distally curved below vein 4, then extending towards the 
base as far as below 1 c. In the marginal area some blackish scales. Hindwing and under surface paler yellow, 
hinges darker yellow. Madagascar, $ type in the Berlin Museum. 
50. Genus: f'oriinoioK'a Saalm. 
Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs; forewing without an accessory cell, vein 10 forked with 7 to 9, rising 
before 7, vein 6 not far from the pedicle, cell of a normal length. In the hindwing 6 and 7 rise from the same 
place or on a short pedicle, vein 4 nearer to 5 than 3.
