insolita. 
H. dependens Warr. Forewing brownish-grey, dotted darker. Median band dark, bordered with 
rust-brown. Inside in the centre incurved, outside at veins 6 and 4 slightly angular. A dark lunar spot between 
veins 7 and 3. On the hindwing the median band is (d 1 ) pear-shaped from the costal margin to vein 4, in 
the $ extending to the anal angle. 32—36 mm. East Africa. 
5. Genus: Dicroplema Gaede. 
Shape of forewing like that of Heteroplerna, hindwing rounded. Veins of forewing as in Epiplerna. In 
the hindwing 1 b on a long stalk with 2, 6-j-7 on a short stalk. Abdominal tuft of $ ending in 2 tips. 
D. insolita Gaede (67 g). Forewing in the interior and exterior areas greyish-brown, median area darker, 
bordered with rust-brown, on the veins white dots. Interior border from 2 / 5 of the costal margin outwards to 
the centre of the cell, then incurved to the centre of the inner margin. Exterior border from % of the costal 
margin obliquely outwards, angular at veins 6 and 4, to % of the inner margin. Hindwing without markings, 
yellowish-brown. 33 mm. Kikuyu, East Africa. 
In Lep. Comp. Vol. 20, p. 225, Oberthur describes a Micr. arthemisiaria which, judging from the 
figure, seems to be a Geometrid. This is almost surely the case with his M. arularia.
