stalked. In the hindwing veins 3 and 4 separated, 6 + 7 on a long stalk. Type: reticulata Wlcr. — The larvae 
of A. infracta (Uganda) live in two generations, the imagines being yielded in January and September. It takes 
each generation 322—413 days to become transformed. The number of eggs ranges between 200 and 300. 
though there are nests containing 600 larvae. These nests are surrounded with 3 covers, the innermost of which 
contains the best silk. 
A. reticulata Wkr. (euprepiaeformis H.-Schaff.) (68 d). Thorax brown, tegula whitish. Abdomen orange 
with black segmental margins. Forewing creamy, costal margin, inner margin and fringe blackish-brown. 
From y 2 and % of the costal margin two narrow blackish-brown bands extend to the centre of the inner 
margin, two more bands on vein 2 and above vein 4 from the margin to the interior line, the former bending 
round to % of the inner margin. Hindwing pale yellow, fringe dark, sometimes with a dark median band. 
The typical rare reticulata shows narrow bands on the forewing, ending separately at the inner margin, whilst 
the more common ambrizia Btlr. has broader bands being fused at the inner margin. 38—60 mm. Cameroon, 
East Africa, Helagoa Bay, Natal. 
A. panda Bsd. (68 d). Thorax also orange, the segmental indentations on the abdomen hardly darker. 
Forewing yellowish-white, inner margin not dark. Both the horizontal bands terminate at the interior transverse 
band. Hindwing pale orange with a pale brown median band. Fringe almost invariably light. 45—60 mm. 
East Africa, Natal. — leplaei Mayne. The whole distal area from the interior transverse band is suffused with 
a dark brown, but the marking is still recognizable. 45—55 mm. Congo. — infracta Wlsgh. (68 e). The two 
radial stripes only extend to the exterior transverse line. Cameroon, Congo, East Africa. 45 —60 mm. 
A. venata Btlr. (68 e). Thorax brownish, tegulae white, abdomen orange. Forewing yellowish-white. 
From the centre of the costal margin to the centre of the inner margin a faded dark brown band. Veins in 
the distal area brown. This form is rarer than nyansae Strd. which shows another band through the centre of 
the distal area which it darkens more or less intensely. Hindwing yellowish-white. The $ of both forms 
exhibits the whole distal area of the forewing intensely coloured brown so that the bands can hardly be noticed 
( = sericea Karsch). In an extreme form of the $ the darkening almost extends to the base of the wing = 
etiennei Schout. 48—60 mm. (68 d). Togo, Cameroon, Congo. 
A. dempwolfli Strd. (68 a). Body orange, abdomen with black segmental margins. Forewing yellowish- 
grey. Costal margin and fringe yellowish-white. Hindwing pale yellow, at the inner margin darker. The $ 
(being deformed) seems to have darker liindwings. 46 mm. East Africa. 
A. aurea Btlr. Body greyish-yellow. Wings light golden brown. In the A the interior half at the costal 
margin fine black. Wings beneath margined with ochreous brown. 50—60 mm. Madagascar. 
4. Genus: Mypsoides Btlr. 
Palpi short, proboscis absent. Antennae of $ and $ pectinate. Forewing at the costal margin slightly 
curved, distal margin oblique. Veins 3 and 4 somewhat separated, 7 + 8 + 9 stalked, often also 6 yet slightly 
stalked, 10 absent. In the hindwing veins 3 and 4 are more separated, 6 + 7 on a long stalk, 8 with half its 
length next to the cell. In the fore wing vein 5 is present, in the hindwing it is absent. All the species from 
Madagascar. The larvae pupate in a nest like the species of Anaphe. Type: bipars Btlr. 
A. White species, hindwing without a dark margin. 
H. placidus Oberih. Thorax dark yellow, abdomen lighter. Forewing at the costal margin narrow 
black, apical band very narrow. 55 mm ($). 
H. cleotis Suit, only differs, according to the description, from placidus in the grey segmental margins 
on the abdomen. If they should be identical, cleotis has the priority. 
H. bipars Btlr. Body ochreous-brown. Wings milky white, at the margin more yellow. Fore wing at 
the costal margin and apex distinctly edged chocolate brown. Beneath paler, hindwing at the apex brown. 
58 mm. 
H. radama Coqu. (1866). Body brownish yellow. Wings milky white. Forewing at the base and costal 
margin narrowly blackish-brown. The inner margin of the dark apical band is far excurved in the + whilst 
in the $ it extends to the cell and then from vein 3 again as narrow as in the <$. 55—68 mm. 
B. White species, hindwing with a more or less dark margin. 
H. antsianakana Oberih. (68 b). Body light yellow, wings white. Costal margin of forewing narrow 
black. Apical band of 0 curved, of $ rectilinearly defined, extending almost to the base of vein 3. Hindwing 
of 0 only at the apex somewhat black, in the $ margined in a width of about 2 mm, often only to vein 2. 
55— 65 mm. 
H. anosibeana Oberih. (68 a). Body yellow. Costal margin of forewing black, the apical band as far 
as or beyond the base of vein 3, rectilinearly defined. In the also the base is dusted with blackish. Hindwing 
narrowly edged with black. In the about 2 mm, in the $ 4 mm broad. 50—62 mm. 
H. perroti Oberih. (68 a). Body yellow. Costal margin of forewing not dark. Behind the cell the white 
ground-colour broadly extends into the large apical area. On the hindwing the irregularly defined marginal 
band strongly decreases from the apex to the anal angle. (?) 60 mm.
