median bands, between them somewhat darker, and 2 exterior bands, all of which vary in width and intensity. 
100—125 mm. Angola. 
J. germana Roihsch. Thorax smoky grey with yellow hairs. Forewing dark grey with pale yellow 
scales and 5 more or less double blackish-brown zigzag lines. Hindwing light redclish-brown, in the distal half 
somewhat powdered with black, with 3 complete blackish-brown bands and a parted one. 100 mm. East 
Africa. 
J. gracilis Wkr. (= polymorpha Aur.) (43 d). Light or dark olive-brown. On the forewing with 5 
dark lines, all of which are centrally excurved, towards the inner margin nearer to the base, the third and 
fourth being there closer together, the fifth more distinct, somewhat straighter, before it broad whitish. Before 
the distal margin a strongly notched dark line. Between veins 5 and 7 a darkening projects from the margin 
far inwards. On the hindwing darker from the unifor mly curved median line to beyond the pale yellow undulate 
line. 90—95 mni. Sierra Leone, CaJneroon, Congo. Spanish Guinea, L. Albert. 
J. tantalus H.-Schdff. (= signifera Wlcr., crepax Wllgr.) (43 d). Head yellowish-white, thorax red- 
brown. Forewing little lighter. Interior line dark, obliquely distad. On the cross-vein a light spot in a black 
stripe. Behind it the median line is uniformly curved, dark. Exterior line double, filled with light, very wavy 
with very long black rays at the veins inwards. Distal area dark with a light undulating line. Hindwing light 
reddish-brown. Median line as on the forewing. Margin broad blackish with a light lunular line. 90—100 mm. 
South Africa. 
J. nigristriata Janse (45 c) is probably only a form of tantalus. The waved distal line is farther separated 
from the median line, and the undulating line somewhat less far. On the hindwing the median line is absent. 
The light lunular line has become a light band being outside straightly defined, whereas inside it is yet luniformly 
notched. Transvaal. 
J. funebris sp. n. (45 c). Thorax and base of forewing dark violettish-brown, the rest of the forewing 
little lighter. At the cross-vein a triangular black spot. The dark median line is narrower than in tantalus , 
behind it a parallel light line cut by black veins. The light undulating line is close at it. These lines are 
continued on the somewhat lighter hindwing. Beneath only 2 lines each instead of the many lines in tantalus. 
$ 85 mm. Harrar, Abyssinia. Type in the Tring Museum. 
J. chalepteryx Fldr., according to the kind information by Dr. Jordan, is no Eupterotida, but an 
Indo-Australian Lymantriid. 
19. Genus: 3fo|»loj ana Aur. 
Almost as Jana. Antennae somewhat longer. Fore tibiae at the end with 1 or 2 thorns. On both wings 
vein 3 nearer to 4 than to 2. On the forewing vein 6 from the upper cell-angle, between 5 and 6 the cross¬ 
vein is somewhat angular. Type: indecisa Aur. 
H. indecisa Aur. (44 a). Thorax and base of forewing red-brown, the rest lighter, with a slight violet 
reflection. On the cross-vein a light somewhat triangular spot. Median and exterior lines distinct, dark, straight, 
almost vertical to the inner margin. Behind the median line and behind the strongly notched undulating 
line as far as the distal margin darker. Abdomen and hindwing at the base pinkish orange, otherwise similar 
to the forewing. The two lines are faded, behind them darker. 65—90 mm. East Africa. 
H. anaemica Hmps. (45 b). Quite pale pinkish-brown. On the forewing a black celhdar spot only 
traceable. The two lines almost straight, obliquely inwards. 85 mm. North Rhodesia. 
H. insignifica Rothsch. Body and wings yellowish olive-grey. Head dark brownish-grey. Forewing 
with a dark grey spot at the cross-vein. Distal line dark grey, behind it irregular dark grey lines, as well as 
grey and brown spots. Before the margin a macular band being broad at veins 6—5, narrow at the ends. 
Hindwing with a dark grey median band. $ 105 mm. Congo. This may be the $ of Phasicnecus maculifera. 
H. tripunctata Aur. (= rustica Strd.) (45 c). $ ochreous, $ somewhat suffused with reddish. Thorax 
olive-brown. Forewing with 4 dark lines. The two near the base straight, obliquely distad, often only one 
of them distinct. The median and distal lines almost not excurved in the centre. Median line outside accompanied 
by a curved wavy line, at the outer line broader dark spots. At the cross-vein a large tripartite black 
spot. Hindwing at the base and inner margin pink, otherwise like the forewing. Median band rather broad, 
washed out, distal band notched at its outer edge. In a $ from the Coll. Weymer the deep darkening on the 
fore wing behind the median line almost extends to the exterior line. The width of the other dark bands is 
also correspondingly greater. 110—125 mm. East Africa. 
H. roseotoruffiiea Rothsch. Head and thorax dark chocolate-brown, abdomen pinkish-brown. Forewing 
at the costal margin and at the base smoky brown with 2 convex black lines. Behind them pinkish-brown.
