line behind it distally edged with whitish. Hindwing yellowish-grey, powdered with a darker colour, with an 
indistinct postmedian line. $ type from Lolodorf, Cameroon in the Berlin Museum. 
D. dina sp. n. (27 b). Thorax and forewing of the same colour, the abdomen and hindwing also equally dina. 
coloured, dorsal tufts blackish, forewing violettish-grey, at the base behind the cell-end and in the postmedian 
area powdered with whitish, with a double subbasal and antemedian dentate transverse line, a similar, though 
single postmedian and discal line, submarginal line composed of intense crescentifor'm spots, and at the cell- 
end a macula composed of dots, all of them being darker. Fringe speckled. Hindwing greyish-brown, fringe 
uni-coloured. Under surface yellowish-brown. $ type from Lagos in the Tring Museum. 
D. blastema sp. n. (27 cl). Forewing red-brown, powdered with violettish-grey, subbasal and antemedian blastema. 
lines darker; the macula is followed at the cell-end by an olive-tinted, yellowish-white spot at the costal margin, 
being traversed by the postmedian line. Behind it a stripe of red-brown powdering, more intensely darkened 
between the veins 5 and 7, at the apex again a paler spot. Sub marginal dots dark, distally bordered with light, 
fringe speckled. Hindwing and body dark brownish-grey, dorsal tufts blackish. $ type from Luebo, Ivassai, 
in the Tring Museum. 
D. amata sp. n. (25 c). Body greyish-brown, dorsal tufts darker. Subbasal line blackish, antemedian amata. 
line almost straight, double, the space between particularly in the $ filled up with dark. Macida at the cell-end 
indistinct, blackish, postmedian line in the $ distally often shaded with dark, behind it an irregular lighter 
line, sub marginal row in the $ composed of very irregular streaks. Hindwing red-brown in the <$, in the $ + 
yellow in the basal portion. $ type from the Uam District, 2 from Verulam and Bagamoyo in the Berlin 
Museum. 
69, Genus : l>asycltiriimla gen. nov. 
Cell, as in Micraroa, open in both wings, but in the forewing veins 6 and 7 are present, forked. Vein 
11 of forewing rises very far basally, veins 10 to 8 forked, 10 rising behind 8, 6 + 7 forked. In the hindwing 
vein 8 is turned towards the centre of the costal margin, 4 -f- 5 rise together remote from 3. Hind tibiae only 
with terminal spurs. 
D. chrysogramma sp. n. (28 d, e). Body whitish bluish-grey, abdomen lighter. Forewing mouse- chrysogram- 
colourecl, the median area in the $ darker, bordered by the lighter antemedian and postmedian lines, submarginal ma - 
line composed of dots. Before the antemedian line a black dot, indistinct in the $, covered with golden green 
scales, a similar one at the cell-end, in the <$ forming a proximally open crescent. Hindwing whitish-grey, at 
the costal margin darker, in the $ the hindwing is almost entirely darkened by grey. $ type from Kilimatinde 
in the Berlin Museum, $ type from Kilawezi in the Tring Museum. East Africa. 
70. Genus: Dasycliirsuiii B.-Bak. 
Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs, foreleg? with a thick hair-tuft. Forewing: vein 7 to 10 forked, accessory 
cell small, vein 7 rising before 10. In the hindwing veins 3 and 4 rise together, as well as 6 and 7. vein 8 near 
the centre of the cell connected with the anterior margin of the cell by a small cross-vein. 
D. obliqualinea B.-Bak. (25 c). Body brown; forewing brown with an indistinct dark basal transverse obliquali- 
line, being angular in the cell, but below it straight; an oblique straight dark postmedian line, forewing otherwise 
without markings. Hindwing uni-coloured brown. Expanse: 38 mm. Malange, West Africa. 
D. unilineata B.-Bak. Body brown; forewing brown, in the cell and around it darkened; postmedian unilineata. 
line paler, at the centre distally undulate; the darkening of the wing extends yet to beyond this line. Hindwing 
glossy brown. Expanse: 34 mm. Lokoja. 
D. crenulata B.-Bak. Body greyish-brown, forewing pale brown, with a dark, curved, interrupted crenulata. 
dentate basal line. A dark, distally slanting, dentate median line is distally margined with pale. Postmedian line 
likewise dark, edged with pale, proximally undulate, and posteriorly oblique. Traces of a subterminal row of 
dots, and at the margin a row of yellowish dots proximally edged with dark brown. Hindwing pale brownish- 
grey with an indistinct slanting median line. From Lokoja. 
71. Geuus: Abyiiolita Swh. 
Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. Forewing with or without an accessory cell, veins 7 to 10 forked. 
10 rising before 7 from the stalk. Vein 6 rises together with this stalk. In the hindwing veins 6 -|- 7 forked, 3 
and 4 nearer to each other. Abnormous neuration of frequent occurrence here.
