A. delkata B.-Bak. (71 h). On the forewing only a band below the median vein, the posterior edge of delicata. 
which is very irregular; with 2 spots it extends into the cell. 28 mm. Gold Coast. 
A. elongata sp. n. (71 h) is somewhat larger than delicata (71 h). Median band almost equally shaped, elongata. 
but with a small interruption above vein 4 prolonged to the apex. 35 mm. Gold Coast, L. Chad. Type: 1 $ 
in the British Museum. 
A. insignata sp. n. (71 h). Forewing without any marking. 32—35 mm. Transvaal; L. Kivu. Type: msignata. 
$ in the Berlin Museum, $ in the British Museum. 
The following 2 species differ in the colouring: 
A. rufovittata Aur. (= albifasciata Hmps.) (71 h). Thorax greyish-brown, abdomen yellowish-brown. rujovittata. 
Forewing red-brown. At the costal margin, around the median vein and between veins 3 and 4, and a little 
near vein 6 white with brown scales. 30 mm. Cameroon, Congo. — Parazana radiata B.-Bak. is presumably 
the same species. 
The following species with a small tuft on the thorax. Dark insects, somewhat similar to the palaearctic 
Drymonia. We only leave them with Antheua in order not to increase the number of genera still more. Eventually 
the name would have to be: Catochria H.-Schdfj. 
A. bicolor Dist. (= verulama B.-Bak .) (71 h). Thorax and forewing dark brown. A strong black streak bicolor. 
at the cross-vein. Interior line faded, exterior line black, strongly notched. Behind it dark lunar spots and a 
waved line. Hindwing whitish, at the anal margin yellowish ($) or yellowish-brown ($). 35 -45 mm. Trans¬ 
vaal, Natal. 
A. tristicolor sp. n. (71 h). Thorax deep red-brown, abdomen dark brown. Forewing darker than in tristicolor. 
bicolor. A dark subbasal band indistinct, but somewhat more remote from the base. Interior band more curved, 
inside edged with dark rust-brown. Exterior band at the costal margin more inwardly curved, outside somewhat 
rust-brown. The black streak on the cross-vein similar. Behind it 2 rows of black submarginal dots, inside 
light-edged. Hindwing brown, at the base lighter. 40 mm. North Rhodesia. Type: 1 G in the British Museum. 
A. peringueyi Janse. Thorax and forewing blackish brown. A dark median line and a patch at the peringueyi. 
cell-end are indicated, also a dark exterior and submarginal dentate line. Hindwing light tan, margin and median 
hand blackish-brown. 40—46 mm. Cape Colony. 
A. catocaloides H .-Schdff. (71 b) is similarly coloured. The interior and exterior black lines on the calocaloidcs. 
forewing less notched. Interior line inside accompanied by one brown line, exterior line outside by three. i4t 
the margin a distinct dentate line. Hindwing yellow with a more distinct median band. Vein 8 connected with 
the cell by a bar. 55 mm. Cape Colony. 
A. (?) acholli B.-Bak. Thorax pale fawn-colour. Abdomen orange-brown, at the apex grey. Eorewing acholli. 
below the cell and vein 2 pale greyish ochreous. The cell and below vein 6 pinkish-brown with 2 ensiform streaks 
in the cell which is closed by a notched shadow. Costal margin brownish. Hindwing dark grey. 60 mm. 
Acholi Land. 
68. Genus: Phaeosina Gaede. 
Palpi short, thick. Proboscis absent. Antennae of $ finely bidentate as far as the tips. Forewing with 
a straight costal margin. Veins 3 and 4 separated, 6 from the upper angle, 7 + 10-1-8-1-9 stalked. Hindwing 
as in Antheua. 
P. atra Gaede (71 i). Thorax and forewing deep red-brown. Marking faded black. A broad spot on the alra. 
cross-vein. Exterior line excurved behind the cell, before the margin lunar spots. Hindwing brown, at the 
base lighter. 40 mm. Cameroon. By the different neuration and somewhat more slender forewings it is separated 
from A. tristicolor, otherwise of a similar exterior. 
69. Genus: Anfhcusisia gen. nov. 
Palpi very short, proboscis absent. Antennae of $ with long pectinations as far as 2 / 3 , in the $ with 
shorter pectinations. Forewing with an oblique distal margin. Veins 3 and 4 distantly separated, 6 from the 
upper cell-angle, 7 and 8 + 9 from the apex of the accessory cell, 10 from its anterior edge. In the hindwing 
veins 3 and 4 rise from the same place, 5 more feebly from the ceixtre, 6+7 stalked almost to the end, 8 very 
near to the cell behind the centre. 
A. incompleta sp. n. (71 i). Head and thorax greyish-brown, abdomen orange brown. Forewing white, incompleta. 
slightly dusted with red-brown, with reddish-brown bands. The interior band from y 3 of the inner margin 
obliquely inward almost to the cell, rarely distinct. The exterior band from 2 / 3 of the inner margin parallel 
to the distal margin, at vein 5 slightly curved to the costal margin, mostly incomplete. Hindwing orange yellow' 
or brownish. In an aberrative $ the forewing is creamy only at the costal margin, otherwise redbrown. 34 to 
38 mm. East Africa. Type in the Berlin Museum.
