58. Genus: Eurystanropsis gen.nov. 
Palpi short, antennae of <$ pectinate almost to the tips. Porewing short. Veins 3 and 4 separated. 
5 from the centre, 6 from the cell-angle, 10-1-7 + 8+ 9 stalked. In the hindwing veins 3 and 4 nearer together 
than in Eurystaura, 6 + 7 on a long stalk, 8 as far as the middle of the cell fused with the cell. Shape of 
hindwing rounder than in Eurystaura. 
E. albidilinea sp. n. (71 d). Body dark red-brown. Forewing violettish red-brown. A light subbasal 
line feebly visible. Interior line whitish, notched, below the cell slightly concave, with dark dots on the veins. 
To this place the basal area is as dark as the body. Cross-vein with a fine white streak. Behind it at equal 
distances an S-shaped curved dark line, a notched whitish line, and a whitish straight line feebly curved to the 
anal angle. Hindwing cinnamon-brown. Beneath across both wings a dark median band. 28 mm. Southern 
Nigeria. Type: 1 $ in the Berlin Museum. 
59. Genus: ^tenostaurldisi Strd. 
Proboscis absent, palpi short. Antennae of $ almost to the ends with long pectinations. Abdomen with 
a tuft at the base. In the fore wing veins 6 + 10 + 7+ 8+ 9 stalked, 6 on a very short stalk. In the hindwing 
veins 3+4 and 6 + 7 stalked, 5 feebly present, 8 fused with the cell almost to its centre. 
S. comma Strd. (71 d). Body and forewing dark violettish brown. Forewing with a few indistinct 
dots, only a black streak on the cross-vein being indistinct. At + of the inner margin a dark brown patch. 
Hindwing dark brown, at the base of the costal margin lighter. 31 mm. Cameroon. 
60. Geuus: Ta« i i*iop(ei\vx Janse. 
Proboscis present, palpi erect, longer than in Stenostaura. Antennae of $ and $ pectinate on % of their 
length. In the forewing veins 6 + 10 + 7+ 8+ 9 stalked, 3 and 4 separated. In the hindwing veins 3+4 
and 6+7 stalked, 5 absent, 8 fused with the cell as far as its centre. 
T. cinerea Janse (71 d). Head and tegulae yellow. Thorax greyish-brown, abdomen browner. Forewing 
at the base and behind the middle densely dusted with blackish, the rest greyish-brown. Subbasal and interior 
lines double; indistinct, like the median line. Cross-vein with yellowish scales. Exterior line double, indistinct. 
Hindwing white, all round the margin brown. 25—29 mm. Natal, Rhodesia. 
T. mus sp. n. (71 d). Head and tegula as grey as thorax, abdomen brownish. Forewing dark grey, 
dusted with blackish, with indistinct black lines. Hindwing as in cinerea. Easily separable by the size. 34 mm. 
South-West Africa. Type: $ in the Berlin Museum. 
61. Genus: stenostaura limps. 
Proboscis absent, palpi short, antennae of d with short pectinations, at the tips dentate. Hind tibiae 
with but 1 pair of spurs. Forewing at the apex rounded. Veins 3 and 4 together from the same place, all the 
rest as in Taeniopteryx. Type: impedita 117,t. 
S. impedita Wkr. (71 d). Thorax blackish-brown, abdomen brownish. Forewing dark grey, median 
area brownish, below the cell strangulated, defined by 2 somewhat notched dark lines each. In the distal area 
a dark undulating line, behind it as far as the margin darker. Hindwing in the $ white, in the $ greyish-brown. 
In a ^ from Cameroon the lines on the forewing are only single. The colour of the median band is more red- 
brown, confined to the anterior half, but it extends almost to the submarginal line. Hindwing browner. 25 to 
28 mm. Cameroon, East and South Africa. In the following two species the exterior and neuration is more 
like that of Eurystaura , but as the hind tibiae have but 1 pair of spurs, they were ranged here. 
S. polioplaga limps. (71 d). Antennae of G strongly pectinate, in the $ somewhat less. Thorax reddish- 
brown, abdomen ochreous-brown. Forewing reddish-brown, basal and interior areas more ochreous-brown. 
Subbasal and interior lines composed of a few black dots. A large round greyish-white spot at the cell-end. 
Exterior line more distinct, more notched, somewhat double. Behind it black streaks on the veins. A whitish 
notched line at the anal angle. Hindwing ochreous-brown. Specimens occur without the large spot on the 
forewing. 28—30 mm. Togo, South Nigeria, Cameroon, Usambara. 
S. rectangulata sp. n. (71 d). On the forewing the inner margin is strongly excurved near the base. 
From the vertical interior line a branch extends in the submedian fold inwards, forming a thick dark angle. 
The large median spot is suffused with brownish. Distal area as in polioplaga. Hindwing somewhat darker 
brown. 30 mm. Ruanda. Type: 1 <$ in the British Museum.
