RIGEMA; ANTICYRA ; RAMESA; ZANA. By M. Gaede. 
70. Genus: ifcigeiua Wkr. 
Proboscis short, palpi porrect, short. Antennae of on half their lengths with short pectinations, in 
the 9 filiform. Forewing rather long, curved before the pointed apex, distal margin slightly notched. Vein 6 
from the side of the accessory cell, 7 from its apex, next to it 10 + 8 + 9, sometimes also 10 separately from 
the accessory cell. Hindwing at vein 7 somewhat projecting, 6 -)- 7 on a long stalk, almost the whole of 8 parallel 
to the cell and connected with it by a bar. Type: vittaia Wkr. — The species are extremely similar. 
vittata. R. vittata Wkr. (71 i). Thorax in front yellow, abdomen above blackish-brown, almost to the end. 
F ore wing yellowish-white with a reddish radial stripe through the centre of the wing to the apex and a narrower 
one at the inner margin. The former is bordered in front at the apex by an almost horizontal, distinct, dark 
brown line. Hindwing white. Separated from ornaia by the small size. 36—40 mm. Gold Coast. — The name 
karsclii. karschi Strd. refers to somewhat faded specimens. 
omaia. R. omata Wkr. (71 i). Abdomen above blackish. The radial band at its posterior edge more distinctly 
defined, ending more slantingly at the apex. Hindwing yellowish-white. 38—45 mm. West and East Africa. 
haasi. Transvaal. haasi Saalm., from Madagascar, is somewhat larger, the distal margin on the forewing hardly 
ochriventris. reddish (quisola Strd. is a small pale 9 from Angola, scarcely different). — ochriventris Strd. (71 i) is larger. 
Forewing orange, radial band pale, at the distal margin no dark line, fringe pink. 50 mm. Uganda. It may be 
a distinct species. 
wordeni. R. wordeni Sn. (71 i). Thorax in front yellow, at the end red-brown. Abdomen above orange-brown, 
at the end yellowish. Forewing orange with a violettish-brown band through the cell to the apex, the band 
mostly containing darker lines. Marginal line dark brown. Inner margin narrow violettish-brown. Hindwing 
centralis, yellowish-white. — In centralis Strd. the abdomen is above black. orientalis Strd. besides shows the thorax 
oriental is. p eav py m i xe d with orange-brown. — meridionalis Strd. is only a synonym for the principal race. The 3 forms 
Us. occur everywhere in West, South, and East Africa. 55—70 mm. 
7 1. Genus: A n ticyra Wkr. 
Palpi short. Antennae of $ very dentate. Forewing rather broad, at the apex acute. Vein 6 from the 
side of the accessory cell, 7 near the upper end, 8 -(- 9 and 10 from the apex. In the hindwing 6 + 7 stalk¬ 
ed, 8 parallel almost to the whole length of the cell and connected with it by a bar. Type: combusta Wkr. from 
the Philippines (Vol. II, pi. 47 e). 
atrata. A. atrata Grunbg. (71 k). Tegulae wood-coloured yellow, patagia grey, thorax red-brown. Abdomen 
olive brown. Forewing of yellow wood-colour. From the costal margin to the centre of the cell blackish-brown, 
distal area somewhat less dark, interior area strewn with brown scales. Hindwing yellowish-white ($) at the 
angolana. margin brownish, or (9) more intensely brownish. — angolana Strd. + with pure white hindwings. 45—55 mm. 
nigristriga. Spanish Guinea, Angola. — nigristriga de Joannis. Between the veins there are yet brown stripes, the one 
above vein 3 being blackish. Hindwing white. 42 mm. Eritrea. 
72. Genus: Haiuesa Wkr. 
Proboscis short, palpi erect, projecting beyond the eyes. Antennae of pectinate, in the African species 
also in the 9- Costal margin of forewing uniformly curved. Vein 6 from the cell-angle, 7 from near the upper 
end of the accessory cell, 8 + 9 from the apex, 10 from its anterior edge. Hindwing at the apex slightly produced. 
Veins 3 and 4 from the angle, 6 + 7 on a short stalk, 8 very near to the centre of the cell. Type: tosta Wkr. 
from India, entirely unlike the African species. 
dasychim. R. dasychira Hmps. Body and forewing greyish-brown, dusted with black. Interior line absent. Median 
line black, undulating, inside bordered by greyish-white, at the inner margin indistinct. On the cross-vein a 
black streak. Exterior line black, outside edged with white, dentate. Submarginal line undulating, white. 
Hindwing brownish-white. 34 mm. Rhodesia. 
macrodonta. R. macrodonta Hmps. (71 k). Thorax blackish-brown, abdomen yellowish-brown. Forewing at the 
costal margin very dark. As far as the strongly notched interior line brown, then lighter violettish-brown. 
Cross-vein edged with black, from there to the inner margin a brown band. Exterior line dark, outside edged 
with light, rather straight, behind it blackish-brown streaks which are united in a spot at the inner margin. Hind¬ 
wing yellowish, broadly margined with brown (G), or all brown (9). 32—38 mm. Cameroon. East Africa. 
euzephero- R. euzepherodes Hmps. Fore wing lighter; a black streak below the median vein, as far as vein 2. Exterior 
d es - line double, excurved in the cell. Hindwing whitish ochreous, at the margin brown (9). 40 mm. Uganda. 
It may be a form of macrodonta.. 
73. Genus: Zana Wkr. 
Proboscis and palpi short. Antennae of strongly pectinate, at the tips dentate, Forewing broad, costal 
margin almost straight. Vein 6 from the tipper cell-angle or from the accessory cell, 7 from its apex, or 7 +8 + 9 
stalked, 10 from its anterior edge. In the hindwing veins 3 and 4 separated, 6 + 7 on a short stalk, 8 nearing 
the cell on its whole length. Type: lignosa Wkr. from India.
