87. Genus: Brachychira Aur.

round. Vein 6 from the cell-angle or on a short stalk, 7 and 10 + 8+9 from the apex of the long accessory cell. 
In the hindwing veins 6 and 7 from the upper cell-angle, 8 nearing the centre of the cell. Type: ferruginea Aur. 
B. ferruginea Aur. (72 e) slightly resembles the palaearctic Las. populifolia. Reddish-brown. On the ferruginea. 
forewing an undulating interior and exterior black line are indicated and a double median line extending from 
vein 2 vertical to the inner margin. Hindwing somewhat paler, at the base yellowish-brown. 68 mm. Cameroon. 
The $ of it might be a specimen from the Lufira R., which is more violettish brown on the forewing, whereby 
the marking is more faded. 42 mm. In the British Museum. 
B. elegans Aur. (72 e). Body and wings reddish-brown. Forewing round about margined with dark elegans. 
and with a rust-brown line from the base across the median vein to the apex; before it bluish-white. Interior 
and exterior lines dark, slightly curved, inside light-edged. On the centre of the distal area a broader light brown 
undulating line. 80 mm. Sierra Leone. 
B. olivaceofusca Rothsch. (72 e). Similar to a small elegans. Ground-colour more greyish-brown. The olivaceo- 
reddish-brown principal line does not begin at the base, but at % of the inner margin. 50 mm. Sierra Leone. 
B. aeola Bryk. (72 e) forms a good transition to the following species by the very much produced apex, aeola. 
Thorax light and dark red-brown, abdomen ochreous. Forew'ing red-brown, at the costal margin ochreous. 
Central area bordered by 2 very undulate white lines, partly suffused with violet, with a yellow spot at the cross¬ 
vein. Belowthe apex a white line to the exterior one. Hindwing white, at the anal margin brownish. 55mm. Cameroon.

abdomen creamy white, mixed with grey. Forewing violettish-grey with an intense silvery gloss. Radial line 
from the base to the apex, angled at vein 4, below it a silken lustre. At the costal margin near the apex darkened. 
Hindwing white. 60 mm. Gold Coast. 
88. Genus: Trotonotus Btlr. 
Palpi long, porrect, proboscis absent. Antennae of the male long-combed almost to the tips, in the 
female shorter. Forewing broad with acute apex, distal margin more slanting than in Brachychira, inner margin 
excurved, accessory cell shorter than in Brachychira. Hindwing larger and abdomen shorter than in Brachychira.
