66. Genus: Stroter Karsch. 
Antennae of $ basally bipectinate, palpi short, hardly projecting beyond the frontal tuft. Hind tibiae 
with 1 pair of spurs. Abdomen projecting very far beyond the hindwing. In the hindwing vein 8 anastomoses 
with the anterior edge of the cell near the base, 6 + 7 stalked. In the forewing 7—9 stalked. 
St. comatus Karsch (75 g). Thorax above green. Forewing purple brown, with a green median band, in 
the basal area a few light red-brown dots. Hindwing ochreous, at the margin purple brown. Cameroon. (Some¬ 
what like Latoia viridifascia, without its light marginal dusting.) 
St. capillatus Karsch (75 g) (= tripartitus Beth.-B.). Forewing dark green, marginal half and a basal 
area which does not reach the costal margin, grey, clouded darker. Hindwing golden yellow, distal portion 
blackish-grey with brown veins. West and East Africa. 
67. Genus: Hegetor Karsch. 
Antennae of $ bipectinate to the tips, palpi projecting but little beyond the frons. In the hindwing 8 
anastomoses with the anterior edge of the cell before the middle and withdraws then far. 6+7 stalked. In the 
forewing 7 on a short stalk with 8+9, 10 and 11 straight. 
H. herculeus Karsch (75 h). Forewing brown with a broad white median line, the inner margin and cos¬ 
tal margin as far as this line white. Veins white. Hindwing white, with a brown marginal band traversed 
white by the veins. Only 1 specimen known, from Cameroon. 
68. Genus: Oavara Wlkr. (= Pletura Wllgrn.) 
Palpi long, slightly rising. Antennae plain in the + Vein 11 of forewing anteriorly very convex. 
G. velutina Wkr. (= squamosa Wllgr., leprosa Fldr.) (75 f). Forewing brownish, at the margin more 
yellowish, with 3 broad, irregular, lustrous pale purple bands. Hindwing brown, at the margin somewhat lighter. 
East Africa, Natal. 
G. leucomera Hmps. (75 f) Forewing white, with a reddish-brown tint, except the margin. An oblique 
reddish-brown antemedian transverse shadow, a black dot at the cell-end, from there an indistinct reddish un¬ 
dulate line to the inner margin, a curved reddish line from the centre of the costal margin to the fold above 
the tornus, at the margin a series of reddish streaks. Hindwing white, tinted with reddish-brown, with a fine 
brownish marginal line. Expanse: 16 mm. Somaliland. 
G. campiogramma Hmps. Body white, mixed with ochreous and brown. Forewing white, dusted with 
brown; a small black dot in the centre of the cell: an indistinct line from the cell to the inner margin, out¬ 
side somewhat whitish; a black dot at the cell-end. Postmedian line white, inside dusted with brown, at veins 
6, 3 and 2 excurved, then retracted and oblique to the inner margin. A dark marginal line from the apex to 
vein 3. Hindwing silky white, scantily dusted with brown. Expanse: 20 mm. East Africa. (Unknown to me.) 
69. Genus: ETarosana Beth.-B. 
Palpi short, porrect, last joint very small. Antennae of <$ with short cilia. Wings short and broad, costal 
margin of forewing straight, inner margin as in Trachyptena with a lobe of scales, which however is near the base, 
veins 2 and 3 separated, veins 2 4 very concave, 8—10 stalked, 11 from the cell, short. In the hindwing 
6 + 7 on a long stalk. 
N. agbaja Beth.-B. Body and wings pale yellowish-grey, forewing with a small dot at the cell-end. 
Hindwing pale straw-colour. Expanse: 21 mm. Northern Nigeria. (Unknown to me.) 
70. Genus: CasplialJa Wlkr. (=Zaracha Wlkr.) 
Antennae of basally bipectinate, of $ plain. Palpi very short and insignificant. Hind tibiae with 
1 pair of spurs. In the hindwing 8 anastomoses with the anterior edge of the cell shortly before the centre, 
6 + 7 on a long stalk. In the forewing 10 stalked with 7 and 8 + 9, 11 straight. 
C. extranea Wkr. (75 g). Body ochreous; thorax above greyish-brown, tegulae white, with a black spot 
and costal margin, patagia in front reddish-yellow, head blackish. Forewing greyish-brown, veins in the costal 
portion towards the base white. Cross-vein broad dark, behind it a diaphanous whitish oblique band. Hind- 
wing ochreous, with a dark brown marginal band and central spot. Congo, Cameroon. 
C. flavicoliis Wkr. (= buchholzi Pltz.) Blackish-brown, thorax in front yellow, chest and abdomen be¬ 
neath ochreous. Hindwing pale yellow, with a black marginal band which is broadest at the apex and is co¬ 
herent with a black central dot from the costal margin. Sierra Leone. (Unknown to me.)
