The following genera exhibit at the distal margin of the forewing a rather sharp angle at veins 3 and 4, 
above it a strong concavity. 
9. Genus: Ijoiiiatfoiatophana Bryk. 
Antennae with one row of pectinations, abdomen strong, in the $ projecting beyond the hindwing. 
Costal margin of fore wing at the apex bent, at the distal margin between the apex and vein 3 concave. Hindwing 
with a round apex and distal margin, anal angle rather tapering. Neuration in the forewing: veins 4 and 5 
somewhat separated, 6 from the upper cell-angle, veins 7 and 8 -)- 9 somewhat separated from the apex of 
the long areola, vein 10 from % of the length at its anterior margin. 11 free. In the hindwing: veins 4 and 5 
from the same place, vein 7 behind the centre of the anterior margin of the cell, 8 behind the cell near 7. 
Type: subtilis Bryk. 
L, subtilis Bryk. (41 d). Body and wings with alternating colours, varying from flesh-coloured reddish 
to violettish brown. Both wings watered with dark. On the forewing a feeble median shadow and a parallel 
one before the distal margin from the costal margin to the hindmargin, containing traces of a light row of 
dots. On the hindwing only the distal margin is somewhat darkened. On the fore wing a black dot at the 
cross-vein, on the hindwing 2 fine white ones. Beneath both wings' pink of a variable intensity. In the only 
female the hindwing is relatively narrower, at the anal angle more extended. 32—35 mm. Togo, Cameroon, 
East Africa. 
L. differenciata Bryk. (41 d). Apex of forewing somewhat less projecting. Body and wings lighter 
violettish grey to brown. Tegulae white. The irroration on the forewing coarser, the median shadow somewhat 
more distinct. Before the distal margin small dark brown spots, especially large at the inner angle. At the 
cross-vein a white dot. Hindwing as in subtilis. Under surface yellow or violet with dark dots. 30—32 mm. 
Cameroon. 
L. contracts Wrr. Described as Oreta , owing to the angle at vein 3 on the forewing perhaps better 
ranged here. Body and forewing olive grey mixed with brick-red, irrorated with dark. A faded dark median 
shadow and one before the distal margin in which there is a distinct dark spot obliquely inwards from the 
interior angle. In front of it a fine grey line from % of the costal margin, excurved at vein 6, then straight 
on. A black spot at the centre of the crossvein and one at the lower end. Hindwing dark reddish with 
black scales. 28—30 mm. Niger. 
L. gonioptera Hmps. As the antennae have one row of pectinations and the forewing is angular, it 
is also better ranged here. Body brown, head and abdomen beneath carmine. Forewing silvery grey, irrorated 
with dark. An oblique dark median shadow with a grey discoidal spot on the outside. Submarginal line dark, 
below the costal margin and at the centre excurved. Behind it pale red brown and an undulating white line. 
Hindwing red-brown and silvery grey strewn with black dots. Beneath the fore wing is greyish red. hindwing 
yellowish red. both powdered with black. 36 mm. Niger. 
10. Genus: CJonoreta Wrr. 
Forewing at the costal margin strongly curved, apexproduced, distal margin angular at vein 4, above 
it excavated. Hindwing broad, distal margin rounded, at the anal angle somewhat lobate. Neuration in the 
forewing: veins 4 and 5 somewhat separated, veins 6 and 7 from the upper cell-angle, 8 absent, 9 -f- 10 on 
a long stalk, veins 7 and 9 touching each other shortly before the apex, vein 11 free. In the hindwing veins 
3 and 4 from the same place, 7 far before the cell-end. 8 only approximated. Thus everything similar to 
Lomadontoplnana. Antennae of the male finely bidentate, hind tibiae without a pair of spurs. 
G. asisorgei Wrr. Body brown, only the head red. Forewing ochreous brown and fawn-coloured 
powdered with dark, especially between the veins. Somewhat distinct is only a rusty-red submarginal shadow 
which is also angular at vein 4. Cellular spot brown. Hindwing like forewing, also at the margin darker. 30 mm. 
Niger. 
11. Genus: JGpicampoptera Bryk (.Metadrepana Hps.). 
Antennae with two rows of pectinations, hind tibiae with terminal spurs. Forewing curved at the 
costal margin, apex tapering. Distal margin in the $ strongly angled at vein 4. in the $ more feebly, above 
it and below it concave. Hindwing of d strongly projecting at vein 4, below it concave, in the $ more feebly 
so. Neuration of forewing: veins 3, 4, and 5 not far from each other, 6 from the upper cell-angle. Veins 7 
and 8 from the apex of the long areola, vein 9 close at it, 10 from %, 11 from 1 , of the anterior margin 
of the areola. On the hindwing veins 3—5 close together, vein 7 from % of the anterior margin of the cell, 
anastomosing long with 8. Type: erosa Hold. 
E. erosa Hold. (41 e). Body reddish brown. Forewing lilac grey, at the costal margin brownish 
with an indistinct dark median and distal line. At the distal margin above vein 3 a few small brown spots. 
Fringe dark brown, at the ends of the veins grey. Hindwing coloured like forewing with a dark line from % 
of the hind margin in the direction to the apex as far as vein 6 distinct. Above and below vein 4 one small
