A. fissura Saalm. Reddish-grey. Forewing dusted darker, marking violettish-brown. A short streak fissura. 
below the base of the cell obliquely distad and above it a parallel one to vein 1. A fine notched median line 
meets the latter streak. From the apex a light submarginal line almost to the inner margin. Before it a broad 
wedge-shaped dark band. Before the margin dark spots. Hindwing violettish-brown. 2 40 mm. Madagascar. 
A. gemina sp. n. (72 g) may be the <$ of the preceding species. Head and thorax ochreous, abdomen gemina. 
brown. Forewing yellow, suffused with violet, marking violettish-brown. The two interior lines are thick 
bands as far as the inner margin and are more remote towards the base. The light submarginal line has 
disappeared in the light marginal area. The wedge-shaped brown band before it extends almost to the fine 
median line. Marginal dots larger. Hindwing reddish-brown. Antennal pectinations quickly decrease in length 
beyond the middle. 35 mm. Madagascar. Type: 1 <$ in the Berlin Museum. 
The following genera are difficult to range. 
93. Genus: Polelassotliys Janse. 
Palpi short, porrect, proboscis stunted. Antennae in both sexes strongly pectinated almost to the 
apices, thorax with a short hair-tuft. Hind tibiae with but one pair of spurs. Forewing broad. Veins 3 and 4 
separated. 6 from the upper angle, 7 + 9 -j- 10 stalked, 8 absent. Hindwing round, veins 3 and 4 separated, 
6+7 on a long stalk, 8 fused with the cell almost to the end of the latter. Third palpal joint absent. 
P. plumitarsus Janse (72 g). Thorax white, with brown scales, abdomen white. Forewing greenish- plumUar- 
brown, at the base traces of a few blackish lines. Interior and median lines blackish, curved. On the cross¬ 
vein a black streak. Exterior line white, edged with dark, below the costal margin and below vein 4 excurved. 
Apex brownish, below it black spots. Hindwing white, cross-vein and costal margin with black streaks. Hind¬ 
wing of 2 darker. 28- 35 mm. Transvaal, Rhodesia. 
94. Genus : Paraplilebs Am. 
Palpi short, proboscis and frenulum absent. Antennae pectinate to the tips. Forewing similar to those 
of the Limaeodidae. Vein 6 from the angle, 10 + 7 +8 + 9 stalked. In the hindwing 6 + 7 on a short stalk, 
8 in the middle fused with the cell. 
P. singularis Aur. Thorax yellow, abdomen ochreous. Forewing grey with yellow and brown scales, singularis. 
as far as the excurved interior line blackish-brown. Below the median vein and vein 2 with pale yellow and 
brownish yellow spots. Median area inside grey, outside brown. Fiscal spot brown. Exterior line undulating,
