cross-vein a white crescent. Marginal area projecting irregularly, whitish, marginal line brownish. Hindwing 
hyaline whitish with a blackish marginal band. 2 $$ from Cameroon in the Berlin Museum. 
A. disparina sp. n. (26 h). Habitus entirely the same as of the palearctic Lym. dispar, only the hindwing 
somewhat more elongate; hind tibiae only with terminal spurs. type from Transvaal in the Berlin Museum. 
A. rhodalipha Fldr. (= tesselata Dist.) (26 d). Forewing pinkish-white, blackish at the base, a broad 
median band growing narrower towards the hind-margin, in this band the cross-vein is yellow, a submarginal 
band with projections towards the margin and small black spots. Hindwing hyaline with a few black lunar 
spots below the apex and at the tornus. Abdomen above yellow. South Africa. 
82. Genus: UfiniieiioUles Btlr. 
According to the author’s statement, separated from Nnmenes by the $ antennae being deeply pectinate. 
N. grandis Btlr. Forewing with pink bands edged with straw-colour, alternating with irregular ferru¬ 
ginous brown bands. In the discal row a series of rust-brown lunar spots bordered with black, apical area and 
distal margin broadly rust-brown. Hindwing ochreous-yellow with a blackish interrupted median band and 
blackish spots on the cross-vein, at the apex and tornus. Thorax pink, above ochreous-yellow, abdomen ochreoiis- 
yellow with black lateral spots. Antennae white with brown pinnae. Expanse: 70 mm. Madagascar. 
83. Genus: Orgyia O. 
Hind tibiae with 1 pair of spurs, anterior tarsi partly long-haired, forewing with an accessory cell, 
10 rising from it, also 7, 10 rising before 7, 8 + 9 forked from it, 6 separated from it, 4 and 5 not forked as 
in Bracharoa. In the hindwing 6 + 7 are forked. 4 nearer to 3 than to 5. 
0. tricolor H.-Schdff. (Vol. X. pi. 42 i). Forewing brown with a subbasal, antemedian, postmedian 
and terminal transverse band of black spots, some similar spots also at the cross-vein. Hindwing black with 
a yellow central area behind the cell, in front projecting in 2 dents, fringe yellow. South Africa. Hy. Edwards 
statement (Viet. Nat. 1891. p. 152) that tricolor occurs also in Australia, is undoubtedly a mistake. 
0. vaporata sp. n. (26 e). Body above chocolate-brown, beneath ochreous-yellow. Forewing chocolate- 
brown with dentate lighter, pink-tinted subbasal, median, postmedian, and subterminal transverse lines.
