F. staudingeri Saalm. (22 g). Body blackish-brown; collar, 2nd and 3rd palpal joints beneath, and staudingeri.. 
abdomen laterally and dorsally (except at the base) red. Forewing blackish-brown, a slanting transverse band, 
and fringe at the distal margin white. Hindwing ochreous-yellow, apical half blackish-brown. Madagascar. 
F. vectigera Mob. (= maculata Btlr.). Forewing in the base with a triangular, above white, beneath vectigera. 
yellow spot and a broad white transverse band from the costal margin to the anal angle. Hindwing as in the 
preceding species. Palpi and abdomen red. 
51. Genus: ISTuiueiies Wkr. (Dasycampa Janse). 
Forewing with an accessory cell, vein 10 from it, vein 7 forked before 8 + 9, vein 6 separately from 
the cell. In the hindwing 6 and 7 rise from the same place or an a short pedicle. Hind tibiae with 1 pair of 
spurs, anterior tarsi with projecting hairs. Distinguished from Bracharoa by the veins 4 and 5 of the forewing 
being distinctly separated. 
N. libyra Drc. (22 g). forewing smoky brown, at the distal margin grey, with two black undulate libyra. 
transverse lines, at the tornus whitish; from the apex to the anal angle a fine black submarginal line. Hindwing 
deep black, fringe greyish-white. Both wings beneath black, forewing with a white spot at the tornus. Body 
brown, anal tuft light yellow. — £: forewing greyish-brown, transverse lines as in the + blackish. At the apex 
a blackish-brown nebulous spot, a deep blackish-brown spot along the base of the hind-margin, a brown macula 
on the cross-vein. Anal angle whitish. Hindwing yellow, fringe whitish-yellow. Abdomen yellow with black 
dorsal dots. Wings beneath yellow, forewing in the distal half blackish, at the tornus somewhat powdered 
with whitish. East Africa. 
N. ianthina Janse resembles libyra (22 g); $: with a distinct triangular spot at the base of the hind- ianthina. 
margin, parted by the distinct antemedian line; the postmedian line is clistally bordered with light, at the costa 
with a yellow spot. Hindwing black with yellow hair at the base and hind-margin, fringe of a glaring yellow. 
Forewing beneath at the costal margin pale yellow, with a broad yellow basal and postmedian spot. — $: 
antemedian and median lines orange-yellow, not blackish, submarginal line more indistinct than in libyra. 
Hindwing orange-yellow 7 , beneath with a median line of black irroration, otherwise as libyra. South Africa. 
N. hypoxantha Holl. $ : body as in the two preceding species; forewing dark brown, at the hind-margin liypoxan- 
with the black basal marking of the preceding species. A brown subbasal bent transverse line is followed by iha ' 
a black dot in the centre of the cell. The cell-end and the costal margin above it are paler than the rest of 
the wing. At the extreme cell-end the dark macula which is here filled up with light. A postmedian undulate 
brown transverse line, on both sides bordered by a darker double line; a dark subapical shadow and a lighter 
one at the tornus as in the preceding species. The submarginal line is irregularly broken up into dots and 
streaks. Hindwing dark ochreous-yellow. Under surface as in libyra. Expanse: 43 mm. Ogove. 
N. praestans Saalm. Forewing whitish-yellow with a black dentate subbasal band, a bent median praestans. 
band projecting distally in two dents, and a bent stripe from the tornus in front, ending at vein 3, above the 
stripe a round spot. Hindwing as well as abdomen yellow. — In the form aurantiaca Oberthr. there is aurantiaca. 
besides at the costal margin before the apex a proximally indented black band as far as vein 6, being a 
continuation of the above mentioned stripe. Expanse: 70 mm. Madagascar. 
52. Genus: 5Teomar«lara gen.nov. 
Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs, palpi moderately large, not projecting beyond the head, forewing 
with an accessory cell, from which vein 10 rises, 9 and 8 forked, 7 together with the pedicle, 6 from the cell. 
In the hindwing 3, 4 and 6, 7 forked, 8 touches the cell only in one place. All the tibiae are long-haired. 
(In the Indian Mardara the palpi are long and project beyond the head, in the forewing 10 rises on a long 
pedicle with 8 and 9, in the hindwing 3 and 4 are separated.) Genotype: 
M. africana Holl. (22 h). Body brown, tegulae at the bottom whitish. Forewing brown with a white alricana. 
subcostal longitudinal stripe, a white submarginal line parted by brown, with which a similar wedge-shaped 
spot behind the cell is connected, and a similar spot distally to the cross-vein. Hindwing in the £ light brownish, 
in the $ dark grey. West Africa: Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Spanish Guinea. — The species was described as 
a Notodontidal 
53. Genus: Clmola Wkr. 
Hind tibiae only with terminal spurs: in the forewing vein 11 rises separately from the cell, 10 to 7 
from the accessory cell, 10 before 7, 8 and 9 from the same place or forked, 6 distantly separated from 
them. In the hindwing vein 4 is about equidistant from 3 and 5, 6 and 7 are separated.
