T. pretoriae Dist. (42 a). Ground-colour of forewing smoky brown. Costal margin and distal margin 
broad, and all the veins narrower reddish-yellow. Parallel to the distal margin a yellowish-white line and in 
front of it a band of the same colour. These two also in the hindwing, but the basal area almost as far as 
the band reddish-yellow. 90—100 mm. Transvaal. 
3. Genus: Sclilstissa Aur. 
Conspicuous by the very long pectinations of the long antennae. Palpi projecting far beyond the head. 
Legs densely hairy. Hind tibiae with 2 spurs. Costal margin of forewing straight. Veins 3 and 4 rather close 
together. Vein 5 near to 6 . Veins d —11 as hitherto. On the hindwing the costal margin is also straight. Vein 
8 very near to the centre of the cell, veins 5, 6 . and 7 about equidistant. Frenulum absent. 
S. uniformis Aur. (42 b). Unicoloured blackish-brown. Forewing with grey hairs. 64 mm. Cape 
Colony. 
4. Genus: Parajana Aur. 
Separated from Striphnopteryx by 4 spurs on the hind tibiae. Antennae shorter than the discal cell. 
On the hindwing the discal cell projects more taperingly at vein 4, the anal angle is also more tapering. Type: 
gabunica Aur. 
P. gabunica Aur. ( = marmorata Holl.) (42 c). Dark tan-coloured. Head whitish. On the forewing 
with numerous dark lunular lines. Costal margin with light grey patches. At the cross-vein a distinct white 
dot. On % of the width of the wing a dark straight line, incurved from vein 7 to the costal margin, inwardly 
edged with light, with white dots on the veins. Behind it a whitish faded band, likewise with dots at the veins. 
On the hindwing quite similar. Before the dark line two dark lunular rows, the interspace of which is filled 
with a lighter colour. 85 mm. Gabun. 
P. lamani Aur. (42 b). Ground-colour fawn, head whitish. The dark line on 2 3 of the width of the wing 
exactly the same, but on vein 7 and at the costal margin with a distinct black spot which, however, is also 
indicated in the darker gabunica. The rest of the forewing exhibits no marking except indistinct grey clouds. 
Hindwing corresponding to the forewing, but without spots at the dark line. 75 mm. Togo, Congo District. 
Probably lamani is only a .form of gabunica. 
5. Genus: Mar]tiaFog»lFgiiia Wllgr. 
Palpi very short. Antennae of A of half the length of the costal margin, very strongly pectinated, in 
the $ the pinnae are very short. Fore tibiae with two very short spurs. Forewing narrow, costal margin 
somewhat curved. Cross-vein between vein 4 and 5 very concave. Veins 5 and 6 from the same place, veins 
7—11 normal. On the hindwing the costal margin is very convex near the base. Veins 5 6 stalked, vein 7 
far away from 6 . Vein 8 connected with the centre of the ceil by a bar. Type: paragarda Wllgr. 
M. paragarda Wllgr. (42 b). Antennae ochreous. Thorax and forewing dark wood-coloured. Veins 
white, before the distal margin united into long white dents, behind them dark triangles. On 2 3 of the length 
of the wing a broad black band parallel to the distal margin. Sometimes before it also on the veins black 
streaks. Abdomen and hindwing ochreous. At the margin dark dents, more faded than on the forewing. 
55—65 mm. Natal, Transvaal. South-West Africa. 
M. conspersa Aur. Thorax brownish-grey, abdomen ochreous. Forewing greyish-white uniformly 
strewn with black scales, without markings. Costal margin and fringe yellow. Hindwing the same, at the 
distal margin powdered with dark. In the hindwing vein 8 is not connected with the cell by a bar. A 53 mm. 
South Africa. 
M. utlicolor Janse. Thorax and forewing monotonously dark red-brown. Veins still somewhat darker. 
IJindwing cinnamon-brown. At the ends of the veins nut-brown pointed triangles. In the forewing of this 
species veins 5 -f- 6 stalked. A 56 mm. Transvaal. 
6. Genus: <J anomiiiia Aur. 
Size and shape of wings similar to Striphnopteryx. Palpi short, densely hairy. Antennae of about % 
of the length of the costal margin, in the A strongly pectinate, in the $ feebly. In the forewing veins 5 and 6 
close together. Veins 7 —11 normal. In the hindwing veins 5 and 6 likewise somewhat separated, 7 far behind, 8 
remote from the cell. Frenulum in the A normal, in the $ feeble. All the species exhibit at the anal margin 
of the hindwing near the base a large round bluish-black spot. Type: mariana White. 
J. karschi Weym. (42 d). Ground-colour brownish-grey, powdered with dark. Veins partly scaled 
white. The subbasal band is only in this species white, distinct in the dark surroundings. In the median area 
two broad dark bands, connected by bars at veins 3 and 4. Before and behind them indistinct narrow bands. 
Before the distinct dark submarginal band a conspicuous light litre very convex at vein 7. Hindwing greyish-
