E. erecta sp. n. (71 b). Body red-brown. Forewing somewhat lighter red-brown. Interior line double, ereda. 
straight. Outside of it somewhat darker from the costal margin across the base of vein 2 and at the median 
vein as far as the exterior line. The latter is angular behind the cell and between veins 4 and 6 outside edged 
with light, obliquely inwards. Cross-vein white, edged with red-brown. Oblong brown submarginal spots as 
far as beyond vein 4 inwards, then a few more small ones. Hindwing pale reddish-brown. Fringes of both wings 
speckled. 38 mm. Lowa (Congo). Type: 1 in the British Museum. 
E. triangularis sp. n. (71 c). Thorax and abdomen red-brown, patagia lighter. Forewing reddish-brown, triangu- 
at the base black dots. Before the middle of the costal margin a triangular dark brown spot from the edges 
of which dark double lines extend to the inner margin. A faded exterior line behind the cell angular and in 
the submedian fold incurved, behind it a parallel light line with black dots on the veins. The light notched 
submarginal line terminates at the anal angle, before it at the costal margin a dark spot and a distinct blackish 
one between veins 3 and 4. Fringe speckled dark and light brown. Hindwing pale red-brown, traces of a median 
band. — medialis form. nov. (71c) has a more faded marking, but the spot below vein 4 is prolonged into a medialis. 
long radial band as far as below the apex of the triangular costal-marginal spot. The base of the inner margin 
is also somewhat darker. 28—32 mm. Gold-Coast, Cameroon, East Africa. Types in the Berlin Museum. 
E. flava sp. n. (71 c). Head and tegulae yellowish-brown, thorax and abdomen dark brown. Forewing flava. 
yellow with a dark red-brown marking. Subbasal line in the submedian fold angular. Interior line double, as 
far as into the sub median fold almost straight, on vein 1 angular. Before it dark brown as far as below the cell. 
Cross-vein dark with a shadow to the costal margin, and from there to the submarginal line and vein 4 dark. 
Exterior line double, pale brown, the branches distantly separated, between them black dots. Submarginal 
line notched, outside light. Marginal dots brown. Hindwing reddish-brown. 27 mm. Ituri (Congo). Type: 1 <§ 
in the British Museum. The species is not quite typical, since vein 6 of the fore wing has a somewhat longer stalk. 
E. olivacea sp. n. (71 n). Head yellow, tegulae dark red-brown, thorax and abdomen reddish-brown, olivacea. 
Forewing olive brown with a dark brown marking. Interior line notched, rather indistinct. Median line double, 
curved from the costal margin to the submedian fold, at vein 1 sharply introangular. The space before it as 
far as the interior line darker, behind it at veins 1 and 3 one almost white circle each in the <+ being feebler in 
the <j>. Cross-vein dark. Exterior line double, rather straight as far as vein 5, then excurved, in the submedian 
fold sharply angular, before it an indistinct, less cuived dark line. In the distal area in front black streaks on 
the veins; above veins 3 and 4 black lunae, edged with white. Hindwing reddish-brown. Description from 
the $, the G the same though darker, more indistinctly marked. 27—35 mm. Cameroon, Ruwenzori, Lindi. 
Type: S in the British Museum, $ in the Berlin Museum. 
E. obscura sp. n. (71 c). Body and forewing dark violettish brown, without markings. Hindwing obscura. 
dark reddish-brown. 28 mm. Liberia. Type: $ in the British Museum. It may be an extreme dark triangularis. 
E. simplex sp. n. (71c). By the indistinctness of the marking similar to St. comma (71 d). Body and simplex. 
forewing dark red-brown. Traces of a notched interior, double exterior, and a submarginal line. The most 
distinct is a very dark triangular spot at the costal margin before the interior line. Hindwing somewhat less 
dark than the forewing. 26—28 mm. Cameroon. Type: $ in the Berlin Museum. 
56. Genus; Pimisiaui'a gen. nov. 
Palpi short, thick. Proboscis absent. Antennae of <$ pectinate to the tips. Patagia in front ending 
pointedly. Abdomen at the base with a tuft. Wings somewhat shorter than in Eurystaura. In the forewing 
veins 3 and 4 somewhat separated, 6 from the upper cell-angle, 10 + 7 -f- 8 -J— 9 stalked. In the hindwing veins 
3 and 4 together from the same place, 6 + 7 on a shorter stalk than in Eurystaura, 8 from the centre of the cell. 
P. divisa sp. n. (71 c). Head and tegulae red-brown, patagia greyish-yellow, abdomen brown. Forewing divisa. 
in the basal area greyish-yellow with brownish streaks. Interior line double, undulating, curved. Distal area 
dark violettish-grey. A dark median line is straight, angular behind the cell. Exterior line brown, notched 
forming streaks on the veins, before it lighter. Hindwing white, at the costal margin slightly brown. 34 mm. 
Rhodesia. In a subordinate form the patagia, the basal area of the forewing, and the hindwing are reddish- 
brown. Type: <$ in the British Museum. 
57. Genus: Xeralia Strd. 
Palpi short, antennae of $ finely double dentate. Forewing elongate, slightly curved at the apex. Veins 
6 + 7 + 10 + 8 + 9 stalked. Hindwing triangular, veins 6 + 7 on a short stalk, 8 fused with the cell as 
far as the middle. 
Z. drymonides Strd. Thorax almost black, abdomen greyish-brown. Forewing almost black with a drymonides. 
black streak on the cross-vein. At the end of the costal margin some light dots and some black indistinct streaks 
indicating bands. Hindwing white, costal and distal margins grey. 38 mm. Sudan. Type in a private collection.
