338 LEUCOPTERYX; EOCHROA; DECACHORDA; CYRTOGONE. By M. Gaede. 
22. Genus: Leucopteryx Pack. 
Separated from the preceding genus only by the somewhat greater distance between veins 5 and 6 
on the fore wing, the apex being more tapering besides. Antennae in proportion with the length of the wings 
shorter, and the scheme of markings quite different. 
Type: mollis Btlr. 
L. mollis Btlr. (58 b). Body white. Forewing greyish-brown almost as far as the centre where it 
is distinctly edged with white, outward broadly washed out and, beginning from the eyespot, turning brown 
again. The small eyespot is margined with black, white and pink. Hindwing white, at the margin narrowly 
brown. The eyespot is merely an oval black spot. 80 mm. East Africa. 
L. ansorgei Rothsch. (58 b). Forewing blackish-brown with a distinct white band on y 3 of the length 
of the wing. Eyespot small, margined with black, brown and black. Before the distal margin a narrower white 
band. Hindwing white, from behind the eyespot turning blackish brown. Before the margin a similar band. 
The small black eyespot is margined with olive brown. Beneath as in mollis the eyespots are also present, both 
wings only above the inner margin broad white. $ 75 mm. East Africa. 
23. Genus: Eochroa Fldr. 
Antennae of $ as far as the tips fourfold pectinated, in the $ only double. Forewing with a straight 
costal margin. Veins 5 and 6 separated afar, 7 + 8 on a long stalk, vein 10 anastomosing with 12 for a short 
distance. 
E. trimeni Fldr. (57 b). Body black and orange-yellow. Wings dark pink. Interior and exterior 
lines blackish, the latter far outside. Eyespot with a white centre and hyaline dot, with dark orange-yellow 
and broad black rings, in the latter colour a fine blue circle. On the hindwing only the exterior line is marked, 
the eyespot the same, the distal margin in both wings black and orange. 60—70 mm. South-V est and South 
Africa. 
24. Genus: Decaeliorda Aur. 
Antennae of $ particularly in the genotype with very long pectinations, in the however, quite plain. 
Forewing of 3 und $ with an excurved distal margin. Veins 7 + 8 stalked, 9 forming a short spur at vein 8. 
The species only have an exterior line which may be almost straight or rather much bent. 
Type: rosea Aur. 
D. rosea Aur. (51 c). Body and wings dark pink. Exterior line rather broad, yellow, running across 
both wings. An aberrative specimen is orange-yellow, only behind the exterior line narrowly pink, with pink 
fringes. 35—40 mm. Transvaal. 
D. fulvia Drc. (= pomona Weym.) (51 a). Varying between reddish brown and orange-yellow, the 
distal area mostly somewhat darker. Forewing with a white central dot. edged with black, on the hindwing 
mostly a much smaller dot. In the East African specimens the dark exterior line is inside mostly finely margined 
with yellow. 45—50 mm. East Africa, Transvaal, Adamaua. 
D. aspersa Bouv. Very similar to fulvia. Inside reddish, outside reddish-brown. Lines rather straight, 
at the costal margin of the forewing somewhat incurved, inside also margined with reddish-yellow. The fine 
dark powdering being rare in fulvia is invariably present here. The spots at the cross-vein with a fine grey 
central dot at most. 33—38 mm. Senegal. Presumably only a western form of fulvia. The specimen mentioned 
there to originate from Adamaua is also small. 
25. Genus. Cyrtogone Walk. 
Thorax with a pointed edge below the dense hair. Antennae pectinated as far as % of their length, 
in the J fourfold, in the ^ double, much feebler. Apex of $ forewing produced far with an obtuse point, in 
the typical species herilla also in the $ so, in nenia and its allies not so. Vein 10 varies rather much, it may 
branch off far before 7 and from vein 8. 
Type: herilla Westw. 
C. herilla Westw. (58 c). Forewing at the costal margin as far as below the cell and to the exterior 
line violettish-brown, otherwise rusty brown. In the centre of the cell a dark brown oblique streak and inwards 
of it one to the inner margin, next to it a dark basal spot. Before the undulating indistinct exterior line 
lighter yellow. From this line to the centre of the distal margin blackish. The whole marking is very mottled. 
Hindwing of in the basal area pink, otherwise with light and dark brown spots. In the $ only the base is 
little pink or brown, otherwise as far as the centre milky white. 70—95 mm. Sierra Leone.
