S. jacksoni Sharpe (43 lb). Body blackish-brown, collar laterally with a yellowish-white spot. Ab¬ 
dominal segments edged with orange, laterally yellowish-white. Wings yellowish-white with a brownish black 
marking. All the veins dark brown. From y 3 of the costal margin obliquely distad a band, another band before 
the broad dark distal margin. Between veins 2 and 4 more darkened than at the other veins. Cross-vein broad 
dark. Hindwing with a distal band and dark margin. 65—80 mm. East Africa. 
S. tippelskirclii Karsch. (43 b). Very similar, but larger. The white shoulder-spot is absent, the abdomen 
almost without segmental margins. Between veins 2 and 4 above and beneath almost not darker. The distal 
bands are much broader than the margin. $ 80—95 mm. East Africa. 
S. fiilleborni Karsch. (45 b). Body as in tippelskirchi. The interior band on the fore wing is situate 
farther distad. much broader, fused with the black cross-vein. The distal bands still broader. $ 80—85 mm. 
Nyassa District. 
S. fulvicincta limps. Body similar to jacksoni. Eorewing blackish-brown. Below the base of the 
costal margin whitish, also in the cell-end, below the cell as far as the base of vein 2, and in the basal half 
at the inner margin. Behind the cell a spot parted by vein 5 and three spots below it. Before the distal margin 
7 white spots, the anterior ones being prolonged. Hindwing yellowish-white as far as beyond the centre, veins 
therein black. Margin black with 6 light spots. 65 mm. Nyassa Land. 
S. sericaria Weym. (43 b). Similar to a light small fulvicincta. Body blackish-brown, abdominal 
segments narrow orange. Ground-colour milky white with smoke-brown veins and a similar marking in the 
cell almost to the end and on the cross-vein. Distal band narrow, sub marginal band only to the centre of the 
wing. Hindwing with a somewhat dark cross-vein. Distal band narrow. 40—45 mm. East Africa. -— euterpe 
Fawc. is more intensely marked with dark. On the forewing below the base of vein 2 another short band to 
the inner margin. The submarginal band also reaches almost to the inner margin. $ 45 mm. East Africa. 
Subordinate Family: Janinae. 
On the forewing the distance of the base from veins 4—5 is mostly not longer than the distance between 
veins 5—6. Vein 10 is absent, 11 free or forming a short bar between 9 and 12. On the hindwing the distance 
of veins 4—5 is not or little longer than that of veins 5—6, but mostly much shorter. Between 5 and 6 
the cross-vein is angular, mostly at its upper end. 
17. Genus: Hemijaiaa Aur. 
A short proboscis is present. Palpi short, not projecting beyond the frons. Antennae longer than % 
of the costal margin, also in the $ with short pectinations. Hind tibiae with 4 long spurs. In the forewing 
vein 5 exceptionally rather considerably above the centre of the cross-vein, 6 free or on a short stalk with 
7 + 84-9, 10 absent. In the hindwing vein 5 nearer to the lower cell-angle, 6 + 7 stalked, 8 connected with 
the cell by a bar. Fremdum absent in 4 and ?• Type: subrosea Aur. 
H. subrosea Aur. (46 a). <+ Thorax and forewing greyish reddish-brown, rarely on the forewing 
pink. The interior line from 1 , costal margin obliquely distad, straight. The median and exterior lines undulating, 
uniformly curved, nearing each other at the inner margin. On the cross-vein two black dots and a third on 
its inside. Hindwing and abdomen pink or pinkish-brown. Hindwing beneath with 2 postmedian lines. $ 
also on the thorax and forewing pink. The two lines on the forewing above and on the hindwing beneath 
are somewhat more separate. 50—55 mm. Natal, Transvaal (4). East Africa. 
H. ruberrima Rothsch. IJead brown. Body and forewing salmon-coloured and greyish-red. At the 
cross-vein also 3 dots. Interior line absent, instead of it 3 undulating dark grey exterior lines. Margin salmon- 
colourecl. Hindwing salmon-coloured mixed with carmine. 60 mm. Angola. This was perhaps only a subrosea 
with a particularly distinct undulate line. 
B. griseola Rothsch. Forewing yellowish brownish-grey. A chocolate-brown basal spot at the inner 
margin. Interior line obliquely to the base of vein 2. Exterior line strongly angled and undulating, brown, 
behind it a feebler line at which there are 3 dark brown spots nr the subapical area. Hindwing cinnamon-brown 
with a nebulous dark median and exterior line. A 54 mm. Natal. The species is apparently very similar to 
Poloma nigromaculata. 
H. variegata Rothsch. Thorax chocolate-brown, abdomen orange-brown. Forewing cinnamon-pink 
and whitish. Distal third umber-brown and pink. At the base of the inner margin 3 large umber-brown spots 
and different lines. A black spot at the cross-vein and behind it a brown one. Distal third sharply separated 
from the pale interior area. Hindwing salmon-coloured, distal third fadedly greyish-brown. J 55 mm. Dela- 
goa Bay.
