SCHAUSINNA; TRICHOPISTHIA; CYMATOPACHA; MIMOPACHA. By Dr. C. Aurivillius. 251 
21. Genus: Scltausmiia Auriv. 
Closely allied with the genus Ceratopacha and only distinguished by the following marks. Eyes not 
surrounded by black bristles. Tarsi not hairy. Costal margin of hindwing emarginated or in the $ sometimes 
almost straight. Vein 8 of forewing from the fork of 6 and 7. Submarginal line of forewing serpentine almost 
as in the species of the second group of the genus Ceratopacha , in the areas 4 and 5 deeply incurved towards 
the base and generally distinctly continued on the hindwing as far as the anal angle. The rest of the marking 
is rather similar in all the species and most easily seen from the figures. 
Sch. clementsi Schaus (34 e). The distal transverse line of the forewing is irregularly bent and feebly clementsi. 
notched, towards the margin at least in the areas 2 to 7 accompanied by unequally large deep brown spots. 
Fringes of both wings grey, at the veins whitish, without black spots. Sierra Leone to Congo. 
Sch. affinis Auriv. differs in the distal light transverse line of the forewing being quite smooth and affinis. 
feebly bent between the anal margin and vein 7, and distally bordered by equally large blackish-brown spots; 
the distal side of these spots thereby forms an almost straight line. Hindwing above whitish, at the distal 
margin broad grey without a submarginal line. $ unknown to me. Kilima Njaro. Cocoon very thick and solid, 
shaped as in the genus Ceratopacha. — signata Strcl. (34 f as affinis). Both wings above with a distinct whitish signata. 
submarginal band. Abyssinia. 
Sch. regia Griinb. (34 c) is distinguished from the two other species by the fringes of both wings showing regia. 
at least beneath distinct black spots at the distal margin. These spots are situate between the ends of the veins 
and by far do not reach the base of the fringe. The band between the centre of the wing and the sub marginal 
line above purely ashy-grey ($) or light grey (d); marginal band somewhat darker, brownish-grey. Damara 
Land. 
22. Genus: Trfcltopisthia Auriv. 
It only differs from the two last genera in the marks stated in the table of the genera. But one very 
plainly marked species is known. Sexes similar and with almost equally long pectinations of the antennae. 
T. monteiroi Drc. (= pallida Faivc.) (34 f). The whole insect above and beneath light whitish yellow monleiroi. 
with somewhat darker veins. Forewing above with a small yellowish-brown discal dot and similarly coloured, 
quite plain, smooth and almost straight transverse lines which are convergent towards the anal margin; no 
traces of a submarginal line. Hindwing above with a shortened median line which is beneath longer, darker, 
and much more distinct, beneath besides with black discal dots. — The adult larva is black and clothed with 
yellow hah’. Head yellow with five black spots arranged entirely as in the larva of Ceratopacha salammbo. First 
joint above on each side with a yellow spot, the second and third joints without a decorative spot, above marbled 
with fine yellow lines; each of the joints 4 to 10 above with two pairs of small brown-haired transverse spots 
surrounded with yellow. Cocoon ellipsoid, densely clothed with the yellow hair of the larva. It lives on an 
Anacardiacea, Sclerocarya caffra, called ,,Wild Mango* 1 . Natal, Matabele Land, Delagoa Bay. 
23. Genus: Cyniatopaclia Auriv. 
To the marks quoted above we may add yet: palpi broad, eyes bare, head and thorax long-haired. 
Basal cell of hindwing with accessory veins. Distal margin in both wings undulating (more distinctly than in 
the figure). 
C. obscura Auriv. (34 f). $. Grey; head, thorax, and basal half of forewing blackish-grey; marginal obscura. 
half of forewing, and the hindwing irrorated with dark grey. Subbasal line of forewing indistinct; discal line 
blackish, distally sharply notched. Submarginal line irregular, in the area 3 removed distally. Expanse of 
wings: 81 mm. $ unknown. South Rhodesia: Buluwayo. 
24. Genus: Mimopaclia gen.nov. 
This distinctly defined genus was formerly united with Gastropacha, but differs rather considerably 
from this genus in important marks. Eyes bare. Palpi short, though projecting beyond the frons; last joint 
knob-shaped. Antennal pectinations in the <$ in the basal half long, then quickly getting shorter; in the £
