The East African race ferax R. <b J . (61 c) shows more distinctly contrasting blacker markings, a broader 
lateral stripe of the thorax, the apex of the tegulae more or less edged with black like the yellow spots at the end 
of the thorax, larger black abdominal spots. Ground-colour of wings on the whole darker. 
8. Genus: Tafooribia Strd. 
Very closely allied to Poliana, but the anterior tibiae with thorns. Separated from Pemba, the anterior 
portion of the cross-vein in the hindwing hardly longer than the posterior portion. Only 1 species: 
T. wintgensi Sir d. (61 d). Scheme of markings almost similar to that of Poliana buchholzi, but the 
ground-colour of the forewing chocolate, the space between the discal and postdiscal lines more red-brown: 
transverse lines blackish, bordered with white, the submarginal zigzag line only at the interior side -white. 
Tabora, German East Africa. Rothschild and Jordan consider this species to be a race of Poliana buchholzi 
and place marmorata Fawc. to it as synonym; Strand’s $-paratype probably does not belong to the £ type, 
because the anterior tibiae of the latter are distinctly spined. 
9. Genus: Pemba R. u. J. 
Anterior tibiae with thorns, the longer terminal spur of the hind tibiae longer than half the first tarsal 
joint. Cross-vein in the hindwing very slanting, its anterior portion about twice as long as the posterior portion. 
P„ favillacea Wkr. (= distant! R. <£• J.) (61 d). Fore wing ashy grey, one indistinct dark grey costal 
spot each at % and opposite the cell-end, then two indistinct, shadow-like, grey parallel transverse bands, a 
distinct narrow black line from the margin from the end of vein 8 towards the base, curved as far as below 
vein 7, then continued as a straight longitudinal streak. Two fine black longitudinal streaks between veins 2 
and 4. Hindwing unicoloured blackish-grey. East Africa, very rare. 
P. jordani Joic. & Talb. (<$ = cardinalli Tams) (61 d) is a smaller species. <$.; forewing whitish grey 
with costal spots as in favillacea, similar longitudinal streaks between veins 2 and 4, at this place the discal 
lines are distinct, widened and darker. The line from the apex indistinct. At the anal angle a dark spot. Hindwing 
white with a brown marginal spot at the anal angle. Under surface light grey. $: wings broader, forewing 
darker, the space between the posterior angle of the cell and the tornus filled with dark brown, a similar costal 
spot before the apex, from the latter proceeds a fine dark line. Hindwing and under surface brown. West Africa. 
P. oneili Chirk. Body above grey, abdomen at the base with a laterally black, centrally yellow band, 
the tergits with yellow bands dusted with brown, abdomen beneath white. Forewing light grey, dusted with 
black, a black irregular subbasal band at the costal margin, 5 mm broad, narrowing down towards the inner 
margin. Another 8-shaped postdiscal band composed of 2 narrow crescentiform lines, the space between them 
grey. Between veins 3 and 4 a narrow black shadow traversing this grey filling. In the ajiex a black oblique 
streak 3 mm long. Under surface unicoloured light brown, with a feeble postmedian transverse band. Hindwing 
above unicoloured light grey; beneath light brown with a similar transverse stripe as on the forewing. Expanse 
about 65 mm. Rhodesia. 
10. Genus: ilovaeiia R. u. J. 
Between the tarsal claws there is no pul villus; the paronychium has on each side a lobe, the anterior 
tibiae only at the ends spined, not on their whole lengths. 
D. poecila R. & J. (61 e). Body brown, abdomen with pale yellow belts which are above interrupted 
by blackish, beneath unicoloured red-brown. Forewing red-brown with interspersed bluish-white scales, the 
slightly curved antemedian and median lines as well as the discal line, which is more distally bent, darker; 
from the apex a chalk-coloured undulating line extends to vein 6. Hindwing brownish-red, at the anal margin 
blackish. Under surface red-brown. Central and East Africa. 
D. neumanni Jord. Smaller than poecila, abdomen blackish-olive, without distinct belts, beneath 
blackish olive brown. Forewing similar to that of poecila, blackish-olive, intensely mixed with bluish-white 
scales, base dark, at % two black transverse lines, curved at the ends; stigma pale yellow, disc with a black, 
somewhat S-shaped transverse stripe, distally to it a pale line with blue scales. Before the apex a triangular 
black spot, distally defined by a white line. Hindwing not rusty red but olive brown. Expanse: 52 mm 
South-West Abyssinia. 
11. Genus: LdOinoeyina R. u. J. 
Anterior tibiae without thorns, last tarsal joint with a paronychium which is on each side extended 
into 2 threads; the longer terminal spur of the hind tibiae 4 / 5 °f the length of the following first tarsal joint. 
Pulvillus between the tarsal claws distinct. Eyes provided with cilia. Only in Madagascar.
