A. ansorgei Beth.-B. Body purple brown, metathorax carmine, abdomen lemon-coloured. Eorewing ansorgei. 
light canary-coloured, the basal two thirds reddish purple, strewn somewhat paler; this area with a distal 
projection between veins 3—5, enclosing also a dark brown postmedian line, followed by a yellow spot in the 
angle of vein 3. Subterminal line dark brown, with 2 strong indentations, more or less composed of fused 
crescents. Hindwing pale sulphur-colourecl, in the $ the basal half yellow. Expanse: 34—39 mm. Northern 
Angola. (Unknown to me; probably identical with Chrysamma purpuripulcra Karsch (73 b). i. e. its form with 
yellow hindwings.) 
A. rubrifusalis Hmps. (— rubrifuscalis v. d. E.). Head and thorax yellowish-red, dusted with silver. rubrifusaHs. 
abdomen pale yellow, above darker. In the forewing the basal half is yellowish-red, base and costal margin 
intensely strewn with silver, also at the cell-end silver scales. A darker yellow cross-vein streak. Marginal half 
pale yellow, with a curved postmedian row of blackish-brown dots, interrupted between veins 2 and 3. Hindwing 
pale yellow, basal area with a yellowish-red tint. Expanse: 28 mm. Sierra Leone, Gold Coast, Nigeria. (It 
probably corresponds to the form of Chrysamma purpuripulcra Karsch with basallv vellowish-red hindwings.) 
35. Genus: Moncma Wlkr. 
Indo-Australian, with one African species in which the <$ antennae are shortly bipectinate in contrast 
with the Indians. Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. In the hindwing 8 is curved, with the cross-vein to the 
centre of the anterior edge of the cell. In the forewing 10 and 7 stalked with 8 -f- 9, vein 11 nearing 12 . 
M. leucosticta Hmps. Body dark red-brown, with a blackish gloss. Eorewing glossy red-brown, mixed leucostida. 
with grey and black, scantily strewn with silvery scales, costal margin and veins more reddish. A white cross¬ 
vein dot surrounded by black, a somewhat oblicpie curved reddish line from the apex to the inner margin beyond 
the centre. Hindwing pale red-brown. Expanse: 28 mm. Gold Coast. (Unknown to me.) 
36. Genus: Myphorum Wlkr. 
Hind tibiae only with terminal spurs. In the forewing 8+9 stalked, 7 and 10 separated, 11 straight. 
Abdomen with long lateral and ventral hair-tufts. Palpi rather long. An Indian genus with one African species. 
H. subtenuinalis Hmps. Body red-brown, mixed with grey. Forewing red-brown, tinted with grey subtermbm- 
and dusted with blackish. A small black streak at the centre of the discocellular, a small black spot below the 
costal margin beyond the centre with traces of a line extending oblicpiely from it to the cross-vein spot, which 
line is excurved, then oblique and curved to vein 1 . An intense blackish shadow from the costal margin before 
the apex to the margin above the tornus, inside fadedly bordered; between veins 3 and 5 a subterminal shadow. 
Hindwing red-brown. Expanse: 30 mm. Gold Coast. (Unknown to me.) 
37. Genus: Iibobis Wlkr. 
A doubtful genus, classified with the Notodontidae by Janse in 1917. Palpi porrect, short, 3rd joint 
very small. Antennae slightly pectinate. Abdomen not projecting beyond the hindwings. Hind tibiae only 
with small terminal spurs. Forewing rather narrow. 
I. nigripalpis Wkr. Reddish, palpi black. Thorax laterally behind and abdomen brown. Forewing nigripalpis. 
with 3 white angular dots, one at the inner margin near the base, the second in the centre, the third at 2 3 at the 
costal margin. Hindwing paler, basally pale brown. South Africa. (Unknown to me.) 
38. Genus : C’oeaiobasis Wlkr. 
Antennae of 3 as far as % bipectinate, then plain, hind tibiae with 1 pair of spurs. I 11 the hindwing 
6 + 7 stalked, 8 anastomosing near the base, in the forewing 7 stalked with 8 — 9. 10 free, 11 straight. Forewing 
coloured green. 
C. albiramosa Wkr. (74 b). Forewing green, veins, particularly thick those of the cell and 1 a, broad albiramosa. 
silvery white. Hindwing greenish-white. Fringes of both wings with fine blackish-brown basal dots. South 
and East Africa. 
C. amoena Fldr. (74 b). Similar to albiramosa , larger, forewing only with 3 silvery, very thick longi- amoena. 
tudinal stripes, which are not ramulous on the marginal veins; a lighter subterminal strip. Thoracal tufts and 
apices of tegulae ochreous. From Abyssinia through East Africa to Natal. 
C. argentilinea Auriv. (74 b). Forewing with but one longitudinal streak being club-shaped at the end, argentili- 
on the posterior edge of the cell. Damaraland, German South West Africa. nca - 
C. hemichlora Grunt. (74 b). Similar to argentilinea, the light stripe on the posterior edge of the cell hemichlora. 
hardly white, very thin. Betchuanaland. It may be only a form of the preceding species.
