a similar one is also along the distal margin. Hindwing brown. Congo to Cameroon. In the habitus it recalls 
American species of Sibine. 
58. Genus: Prolatola Auriv. (—Haplomiresa Auriv.) 
Palpi projecting far beyond the head, slender, hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. In the hindwing 6 -j- 7 
stalked; in the forewing 7 and 8 from the same place or on a short stalk, absent. 
P. perileuce Hold. Frons and collar reddish. Thorax and abdomen above dark lead-coloured, beneath 
whitish. Forewing dark lustrous lead-coloured. Hindwing black, with broad whitish fringe. Forewing beneath 
with a pale lead-coloured marginal line. Expanse: 23 mm. Ogove. (Unknown to me.) 
P. sjostedti Auriv. (75 e). Body orange. Forewing lead-coloured, with an orange basal spot and dark 
veins. Hindwing blackish, at the base orange. Beneath the light markings are somewhat more extensive. 
Cameroon, Spanish Guinea. 
59. Genus: Hnrilla Dyar. 
Antennae basally with laminiform pectinations. Palpi moderately long, projecting beyond the 
frontal tuft. Hind tibiae only with terminal spurs. In the hindwing vein 8 is connected with the anterior edge 
of the cell by the cross-vein near the base, 6 -j- 7 stalked. In the forewing the cell is closed, 7—9 stalked, 
together with 10, vein 11 straight. 
B. transversata Holl. (75 e). Forewing golden orange, towards the costal margin more brownish, with 2 
black lines which are very divergent posteriorly. Hindwing ochreous, veins brownish. Cameroon to Congo 
60. Genus: l^atatla Wlkr. 
Antennae of G bipectinate to the tips. Palpi moderately long, slightly projecting beyond the frontal 
tuft. Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. In the hindwing 8 anastomoses near the base, 6 + 7 stalked. In the 
forewing 7 and 10 separated from the stalked 8 + 9. Vein 11 straight. Common in South America and Indo- 
Australia. 
N. chrysaspis limps. Forewing ochreous to greyish, with 2 black dots at the cell-end and a series of 
marginal dots. Hindwing ochreous, with short blackish internerval streaks at the margin, in - f. chrysaspodes 
Strd. (75 e) predominantly suffused with blackish-brown, except at the base, inner margin and fringe. In the 
female the body and forewing are densely dusted brown and black. Transvaal, Cape Colony. 
N. amicta Swh. Body and wings ochreous grey, costal margin of forewing darker, with a broad pink 
longitudinal streak from the base to the margin. Front and middle legs pink. Expanse: 28 mm. Bihe, West 
Africa. It may be closely allied with Macroplecta rosea. (Unknown to me.) 
N. julia Drc. Forewing reddish-brown, along the median nerve blackish, hindwing tawny, fringe and 
inner margin darker brown. Body light golden brown, legs dark brown. Expanse: 38 mm. West Africa. 
(Unknown to me; perhaps identical with Ctenolita cerdo.) 
N. undina Drc. Forewing in basal half dark blackish-brown, in distal half pale drab. A submarginal 
black line extends from the costal margin before the apex to the inner angle, where it is dissolved into dots. 
Hindwing silky drab. Under surface red-brown. Body lemon-coloured, abdomen dark brown. Expanse: 
38 mm. West Africa. (Unknown to me, according to Aurivillius = Tryphax cinereus Holl.) 
N. desperata sp.n. (75 e). Body ochreous golden-yellow, forewing golden-yellow, margins and cross¬ 
vein somewhat darker. Hindwing blackish-brown, fringe ochreous golden-yellow. Sierra Leone. Female type 
from Freetown in the Berlin State Museum. 
61. Genus: Cocfiilitfioii Hbn. (—Limacodes) 
Antennae in both sexes plain, palpi moderately long, projecting beyond the frontal tuft, hind tibiae 
with 2 pair of spurs. In the hindwing vein 8 anastomoses near the base with the anterior edge of the cell. 6 
and 7 rise separately. In the forewing 7 and 10 separated from the stalked 8+9, 11 straight. A palaearctic 
and nearctic genus; it appears to be doubtful whether the only African species described here (unknown to me) 
belongs to the genus. 
C. cretacea Holl. Body white. Forewing lustrous white, with a pale brownish spot at %. Hindwing 
white, with a large, almost triangular spot in the centre pale brown. Under surface white, costal margin of 
fore wing brown. Expanse: 12 mm. Ogove.
