TRICHIURANA; LAELIOPSIS. By Dr. 0. Aurivillius. 
ff. Palpi short, not or hardly projecting beyond the frontal hairing. Vein 9 of forewing terminates 
into the distal margin. 
§. The basal cell of the hindwing reaches at least to the centre of the anterior edge of the 
discal cell. The fork of veins 9 and 10 of the forewing is invariably shorter than the veins. 
Costal margin of hindwing at least in the middle clothed with stiff black hair. 
1. Tarsi above hairy. Fro ns armed with a coniform spine. 20. Ceratopacha. 
2. Tarsi with appressed scales, without hair. 
a. Vein 8 of forewing from the fork of 6 and 7. Frons with a horny protuberance. 
21. Schausinna. 
b. Vein 8 of forewing from the discal cell. Frons unarmed. 22. Trichopisthia. 
§§. The basal cell of the hindwing is very small, by far not reaching to the middle of the 
anterior edge of the discal cell. The fork of the veins 9 and 10 of the forewing is at least 
as long as the veins. Tarsi with appressed scales. Vein 8 of forewing from the apex of 
the discal cell. 23. Cymatopacha. 
8. Distal margin of forewing irregularly dentate, notched, or indented. (Cf. also Leipoxais emarginata). 
*. Distal margin of hindwing with 1 to 3 dents. 
1. Hindwing at the costal margin in the centre deeply emarginated; its distal margin notched 
at vein 6. 24. Mimopacha. 
2. Costal margin of hindwing straight, not emarginated. 
a. Distal margin of hindwing only notched at vein 2. Eyes hairy. 25. Ocinarop-sis. 
b. Distal margin of hindwing obtusely notched at the veins 2 and 3 and at the anal angle 
Eyes bare. 26. Odontogama. 
**. Distal margin of hindwing uniformly rounded off. 27. Odontopacha. 
1. Genus: Trieliiurana Auriv. 
This genus is closely allied with the palearctic genus Trichiura Steph. from which it only differs in 
the marks mentioned in the table of genera. The stages are unknown. 
meridiona- T. nieridionalis Auriv. (29 e). A- Head, thorax, and legs grey; abdomen brownish-grey; eye-circle • 
blackish. Forewing above in the centre whitish with black veins, at the margins dark grey; a black discal dot 
and blackish stripes at the veins 2 and 5. Hindwing on both sides and forewing beneath dark grey without 
marking. Forewing 14 mm long. The $ is somewhat larger (forewing 18 mm long) and has above a grey ground¬ 
colour of the forewing with a black discal dot and a bent, rather inconspicuous, indistinctly defined discal band. 
South Africa: Orange Freestate. 
Note: Bethune-Baker described in 1911 as Trichiura def inita a new species captured on the White Nile, but com¬ 
pares it with Anadiasa obsoleta King. The species is unknown to me, but it probably belongs to the genus Anadiasa and 
will be dealt with there. 
2. Genus: I^aeliog&si<** Auriv. 
Laeliopsis is the only genus of this subfamily in which the discal cell of the forewing is open; it is also 
distinguished by the shape of the wings recalling that of certain Arctiids (e. g. species of Spilosoma). Palpi 
short, not projecting beyond the frontal hairing. Eyes bare. Antennae as far as the apex with two rows of 
combs. Frons unarmed. Anterior tibiae short, at the apex spined; hind tibiae with two strong terminal spurs; 
tarsi with appressed scales. Costal margin and hind-margin of forewing almost straight, the costal margin 
feebly bent towards the apex; distal margin almost entire, uniformly bent. Forewing: veins 7 and 8 on a short 
fork; veins 9 and 10 also rise on a short fork about midway between 11 and the fork of 7 and 8; 9 terminates 
into the apex of the wing or near to it. Hindwing: basal cell very small; vein 7 rises close at the base and is 
only in one place united with vein 8. The early stages are still unknown. 
punctulige- L. punctuligera Auriv. (29 c). Head, thorax, and forewing above dark ochreous-yellowish; hindwing 
ra • above and both wings beneath ochreous yellow. Fore wing above with two often indistinct or incomplete 
longitudinal streaks, one in 1 b and one in 5; both, in case they are complete, terminate at the sub marginal
