the inner margin. Exterior line of sagittiform spots, at the margin dark dots. Hindwing yellowish-white, at 
the margin darker. 34 mm. Lowa (Congo). Type: 1 3 in the British Museum. 
41. Genus: Siibscraneia gen. nov. 
Separated from Scrancia by the very long antennae which in the 3 are set with fine and long pectinations 
to the tips, whilst in the $ they are hardly half as long. In the forewing the distance between veins 3 and 4 
is larger than between 4 and 5, 6 mostly rises unstalked from the upper cell-angle. 
S. nigra Aur. (70 i). Thorax black, abdomen greyish-yellow. Forewing almost black. Some fine nigra. 
notched black lines are noticeable in fresh specimens. Cross-vein and marginal line black. Hindwing brown, 
at the base whitish. Specimens from Angola have darker hindwings. 38 mm. Togo, Central Africa, Angola. 
42. Genus: Ijeptolepida B.-Bak. 
Palpi small, antennae of 3 pectinate, Forewing narrow, at the costal margin slightly curved. In the 
neuration similar to Scrancia, but vein 2 in the forewing near the angle. 
L. malangae B.-Bak. Thorax iron-grey, abdomen yellowish-grey. Forewing iron-grey with a curved malangae. 
row of dark basal dots and an undulating exterior row which is white angled. Behind it the veins are fine black. 
Costal margin somewhat darker. Before the distal margin a notched light line, brown marginal dots. Hindwing 
pale grey. 29 mm. Malange, West Africa. 
The two following genera are somewhat more strongly built. 
43. Genus: §cranciolii gen. nov. 
Palpi thick, porrect, projecting beyond the frons. Proboscis absent. Antennae of 3 finely dentate. 
Forewing short, triangular, distal margin from the apex to vein 4 slightly concave. Veins 3 and 4 from the 
same place, 6 from the upper angle, 10 + 7 4-8 + 9 stalked, 10 and 7 branch off almost at the same place (as 
in Turnaca). Hindwing with an almost straight costal margin. Veins 3 and 4 together from the same place, 
6 + 7 on a long stalk, 8 nearing the cell in the middle. 
S. quadripunctata sp. nov. (70 i). Thorax and abdomen dark red-brown. Forewing somewhat-less dark, quadripunc 
Subbasal and interior lines reddish-yellow, edged with dark, below the costal margin inwardly angular, otherwise taia 
straight and parallel to the inner margin. Base reddish-yellow and the area behind the interior line as far as 
the exterior line and vein 2. Exterior line double, widely excurved around the cell, then obliquely to the inner 
margin. Behind it below vein 4 very dark. A series of black submarginal lunae, behind the cell somewhat 
inwardly curved. At the angles of the cross-vein and behind it 4 black dots. Hindwing reddish-brown, a dark 
discal Inna shows through from beneath. Beneath the hindwing and the basal area of the fore wing are yellow, 
the rest reddish-brown. 36 mm. Lowa (Congo). Type: 1 3 in the British Museum. 
44. Genus: I® 4 Vg’aerina gen. nov. 
Palpi long, upturned, proboscis stunted. Antennae of 3 finely ciliated. Forewing broad, veins 3 and 4 
separated, 6 from the upper angle, 7 + 10 + 8 + 9 stalked. In the hindwing veins 3 + 4 on a short stalk, 
6 + 7 on a somewhat longer one, 5 feebler, 8 as far as the centre of the cell nearing the latter. 
P. lugubris sp. n. Thorax and forewing dark red-brown. Interior line black, excurved from y 3 of the lugubris. 
costal margin in the cell, then straight to l / 3 of the inner margin. Exterior line from 3 / 5 of the costal margin, 
behind the cell excurved to % of the inner margin, above it somewhat incurved. On the cross-vein 2 fine white 
dots and a few before the distal margin. Abdomen and hindwing dark brown. In a subordinate form the discal 
area is somewhat lighter and bends inside at vein 1 upwards to the base: — fasciata form. nov. (70 i). 26—28 mm. fasciaia. 
Cameroon, Lowa (Congo). Type: 3 in the Berlin Museum. 
P. angulata sp. n. (70 i). Thorax and forewing bronze-brown similar to lugubris-fasciata. The angle angula/a. 
of the interior line is more acute, nearer to the costal margin. The exterior line runs straighter to the inner 
margin, both being somewhat nearer together. The interior line is somewhat white-edged, especially at vein 1. 
The median band is somewhat violettish-brown. Before the distal margin white dots. Abdomen and hindwing 
reddish-brown. 28—30 mm. Lowa (Congo). Type: 3 br the British Museum.
