Ct. Hilda Drc. (73 e). Forewing brown, with 2 transverse lines which rise close together at the costal hilda 
margin near the apex and are strongly divergent towards the inner margin. Cameroon, Spanish Guinea, Gabun. 
Ct. secta Strd. (73 e). Of the two transverse lines of the preceding species the exterior one is broad secta 
like a band and straight and extends to the margin above the tornus, whilst the interior one undulately notched, 
at the cross-vein a black dot. Ground-colour of fore wing darker brown, that of hindwing and the under surface 
still darker. Spanish Guinea. 
13. Genus: Lepidorytis Auriv. 
Hind tibiae thinly haired, with 2 pair of very long spurs. Palpi long, distal joint somewhat drooping. 
Antennae of <$ with long pinnae as far as the tips, in the $ bare. In the hind wing vein 8 anastomoses with 
the anterior edge of the cell, 6+7 are forked. In the forewing 7 rises together with the stalk of 8 + 9, veins 
10 and 11 are straight. 
L. sulcata Auriv. (73 c). Forewing cream-coloured, dusted with violettish reddish-brown, with silken sulcata. 
transverse undulations; a transverse row of 3 brownish red spots near the base, another similar one extends 
across the cell-end, usually composed of 4 spots. Hindwing and under surface from yellowish to ochreous 
reddish. East Africa. 
14. Genus: Haria Karsch. 
Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs, palpi moderately long, distal joint hidden. Antennae of d with one 
row of apically decreasing pectinations, in the $ bare, towards the apex serrate. In the hindwing vein 8 
anastomoses in one place with the anterior edge of the cell, 6 + 7 stalked. In the forewing 7 stalked with 8 + 9, 
10 and 11 straight. 
B. elsa Drc. (73 c). Forewing brown, with a darker basal area which is bordered by a narrow pure white elsa. 
line. Apical portion likewise darker brown, in the light median area a dark line almost parallel to the border-line 
of the basal area. Hindwing and under surface dark brown. Ivory Coast to Spanish Guinea. 
15. Genus: ISracliia Karsch. 
Hind tibiae densely haired, with 2 pair of spurs. Antennae of d bipectinate, at the tips shorter. In the 
hindwing vein 8 anastomoses with the anterior edge of the cell, 6 + 7 are stalked. In the forewing 7 forked 
with 8 + 9, 10 and 11 straight. 
B. argyrogramma Karsch (73 f). Forewing brownish red in the basal half which is defined by a silver argyro- 
line receding far basally at the inner margin, outside of it a blackish-violet transverse band, indistinctly defined, gramma. 
then a dark brown, somewhat curved transverse line. Distal portion much lighter than the basal portion. 
Hindwing ochreous, suffused with red. Central Africa, Angola. It is very similar to Miresa semicalida Hmps ., 
but the latter exhibits a row of light spots instead of the exterior transverse line. 
B. argentolineata Wichgr. is similar to the preceding species, but the distal area is light brownish- argenio- 
yellow, the silver border of the basal area shows three curves, but it apparently does not recede at the inner hncata. 
margin. Hindwing yellowish-white. Under surface creamy with reddish edges at the costal margin. Expanse: 
28 mm. Angola. (Not before me.) 
16. Genus: Parypliiiiitsi Karsch. 
Hind tibiae thinly haired, with 2 pair of spurs. Antennae of as far as % bipectinate, then bare, in 
the $ quite bare. Palpi moderately long, projecting beyond the frons. In the hindwing 8 anastomoses with 
the anterior edge of the cell, 6+7 are stalked, in the forewing separated from 8, 10 stalked with 8 + 9 or 
from the same place. Fringes very broad. 
P. fimbriata Karsch (= arculinea Beth.-B.) (73 c). Forewing in the basal half olive greenish-grey, then fimbriata. 
follows a light transverse band feebly parted b}^ dark, then a stripe of the colour of the basal portion, decreasing 
in width at the costal and inner margins, the margin behind it grey. Hindwing and under surface grey. From 
Togo, more common in German East Africa, also in Southern Sudan. 
P. albovenosa sp. n. (73 c). Similar to fimbriata, somewhat smaller. Forewing of a purer grey without albovcnosa. 
the olive-green tint, a white submarginal line very distinct. Veins fine whitish. Male type from Togo in the 
Berlin State Museum, Cameroon, Uam District. 
P. bisecta Btlr. (73 c). Forewing from olive grey to reddish brown, the basal area outside somewhat bisecta. 
undulately defined by a more blackish colour, between the darker submarginal and terminal stripes a narrow 
light line. East Africa, Eastern Transvaal. 
P. rufilinea Beth.-B. (73 c). Forewing reddish-brown, basal area darker, straightly and obliquely cut rufilinea. 
off, bordered by a fine white line. Subterminal line oblique and straight, margin reddish. Hindwing straw- 
coloured. Uganda, Congo, Cameroon. 
P. intacta sp. n. (73 c). Similar to rufilinea , basal area at the distal margin in the centre without an Intacta. 
indentation, the red-brown subterminal stripe broader, the margin not dark. Male type from Zoutpansberg, 
also from Lydenburg (Berlin State Museum), Transvaal.
