Proboscis absent, palpi erect, projecting beyond the frons. Antennae pectinate almost to the middle. 
Costal margin of forewing straight. Vein 6 from the centre of the accessory vein, 7 and 10 + 8 -j- 9 from its 
apex. Hindwing as in Phalera. 
Z. imitans Btlr. (70 c). Thorax and abdomen red-brown, tegnlae and patagia whitish-grey. Forewing imitans. 
brown, at the base white, behind it darker red-brown. A notched dark median line only in front distinct. From 
this line to the exterior line at the costal margin greyish-white. Exterior line almost from the apex, then strongly 
incurved as far as below vein 2. In the distal area dark brown streaks and a white notched line. Hindwing 
rusty brown. 44 mm. Madagascar.

Most of the species exhibit on the hind wing near the anal angle a dark spot, 
the $ instead of it often a broad dark marginal band. 
28. Genus: Clsadiso Wkr. 
Proboscis strong, palpi long, erect. Antennae of <$ dentate or pectinate. Forewing moderately broad, 
costal margin straight. Veins 6 -j- 7 -f- 8 -j- 9 stalked, 10 forming the accessory cell with the stalk of 7. In the 
hindwing veins 6 -f- 7 stalked, 8 in the middle nearing the cell and connected with it by a bar. Type: bipars 
Wkr. from India. 
a) Antennae of £ dentate. 
C. curvilinea Sivh. In the marking similar to the Indian species of Hyperaeschra. Body greyish ochreous. curvilinea. 
Forewing in the basal half pinkish ochreous grey with black longitudinal streaks. Outside defined by a black, 
thick line which is deeply incurved above the inner margin and terminates on the centre of the inner margin. 
Distal area dark grey, inside with an intense black line, not far from the first, then 2 or 3 indistinct grey lines. 
Before the margin sagittary spots. Hindwing grey, near the anal angle a large black spot. Sometimes the 
forewing is suffused with green. 50 mm. Natal. 
C. persimilis Hmps. Thorax pale yellow and brown. Forewing in the proximal half pale yellow, slightly persimilis. 
dusted with brown at the costal margin as far as the middle and at the inner margin as far as the submarginal 
line. The rest of the wing is brown, at the costal margin dusted with greyish white. Below the base of the cell 
a black streak, with traces of the ring-macula. In the interior area some black streaks. Median line black, 
inside faded, edged with brown, below the cell angular. Exterior line black, at the costal margin outside defined 
by white. Before the margin a white undulate line. Hindwing white, hairs at the inner margin ochreous. Before 
the anal angle a brown spot. 30 mm. Natal. 
b) Antennae of $ with short double pectinations, at the tips dentate. 
C. semiflava Hmps. Chiefly separated from persimilis by the antennae. Median line of forewing inside semiflava. 
edged with red-brown, the exterior line indistinct, double. Submarginal line grey. Hindwing not different. 
42 mm. Natal. 
C. uncifera Hmps. Thorax and abdomen brownish ochreous. Forewing brownish ochreous, dusted with uncifera. 
red-brown and black. An interior double row of black streaks. Exterior line double, indistinct, projecting 
far at the veins. Behind it fine black streaks; before the margin light and dark streaks. Hindwing brownish 
ochreous and red-brown with a black streak above the anal angle. 36 mm. Natal. 
C. viridipulverea sp. n. (70 c). Head and thorax greyish-brown, abdomen pale ochreous brown. Forewing viridipul- 
ochreous brown, dusted with a darker brown. A dark subbasal line is traceable. Median line black, thick, 
strongly incurved towards the inner margin. Inside of it and at the costal margin dusted with green. Exterior 
line straight, at the distal margin dusted with green, particularly below vein 3. Before the apex a dark streak 
at the costal margin. Hindwing white, at the anal angle 2 dark brown streaks. 28—43 mm. Type in the Berlin 
Museum. 
c) Antennae of $ pectinate as far as the tips. 
C. nubifera Hmps. Thorax greyish-brown with black scales, abdomen yellowish-brown with white nubifera. 
segmental margins. Forewing greyish-white, densely dusted with brown, at the base black streaks and dots, 
in the $ the base unicoloured black. Interior line double, indistinct, inside white. A faded brown median shadow. 
Exterior line outside bordered with white and brown, slightly notched, angular at vein 1. Behind it black 
streaks from the costal margin, and black submarginal spots. Hindwing white with a black spot above the 
anal angle and at the inner margin. 30—32 mm. East A f rica,
