478 CHRYSECTROPA; ECTROPA. By Dr. M. Hebing. 
2. Both wings with a light spot at the cross-vein. Antennae yellowish. 
Chr. inspersa Hmps. Forewing brownish-yellow, densely speckled darker, with a brown, slightly curved 
postmedian line and a grey costal margin; hindwing similarly marked. Congo. 
Chr. nubila Holl. Forewing purple grey, basally slightly darker, with somewhat darker speckles. 
Postmedian line nearer to the margin than in inspersa, almost parallel to the margin, more bent. Hindwing 
somewhat paler, at the base and inner margin with a slight pink tinge. Postmedian line more distinct and 
broader than in forewing. Expanse: 40 mm. Congo. 
3. No light spot at the cross-vein in any wing. 
Chr. varia Dist. (76 c). Antennae blackish-grey. Forewing yellowish-grey, with an almost straight 
postmedian transverse line and coarse blackish speckles. Hindwing ochreous, sometimes speckled somewhat 
darker. Transvaal, German East Africa. 
Chr. conspurcata Auriv. (76 c). Forewing darker, almost orange ochre, more densely watered blackish, 
in the $ the distal third unicoloured black. Hindwing orange ochre, distal half of $ black, of $ densely speckled 
black. Antennae black. German East Africa. 
Chr. flaviceps Auriv. Isabel-grey, head and abdomen yellow, the latter with blackish dorsal rings. 
Antennae black. Forewing Isabel-grey, densely dusted with coarse black dots, less so at the margin; costal 
margin ochreous, hindwing above almost blackish. All the fringes ochreous. Expanse: 38 mm. Mashona Land. 
Chr. paupera Her. (76 c). 9 near to varia, but without any dark transverse line on the forewing; 
hindwing just as grey as forewing, not yellow, the coarse blackish dotting very insignificant. Costal margin 
of forewing and basal line of fringe on both wings ochreous. Antennae black. Transvaal. 
Chr. restricta Dist. (76 c). Forewing greyish yellow', in the basal half darkened, with a black, almost 
straight transverse line. Hindwing ochreous. Antennae black. Transvaal. 
Chr. ansorgei Beth.-B. Antennae black, body faded orange. Wings greyish ochre, veins fine black, 
with traces of a broad darker postmedian line which is obtusely angled on vein 6 of the forewing. Expanse: 
42—46 mm. Angola. 
Chr. opalina Drc. Body yellowish-white, antennae pale brown. Forewing pale yellowish-white; an 
indistinct row of brownish-black dots crosses the wing from the costal margin near the apex to the inner margin 
near tornus, the dot on the inner margin being the largest. Hindwing pale yellowish-white, from the apex to 
the inner margin traversed by a double row of indistinct black dots; a similar indistinct row at the termen. 
$ similar to the q, but much larger, with few scales, and opalescent. Expanse: $ 45, $ 64 mm. Cameroon. - 
This species which I have not seen most probably does not belong to the Chrysopolomidae but to the Euptero- 
tidae, perhaps to Phasicnecus. 
Chr. microsticta Beth.-B. Body yellowish-white. Both wings washed out straw-colour, hindwing above 
not dotted. Forewing in the basal two thirds speckled pale brownish-grey, in the distal third hardly speckled. 
Expanse: 52 mm. Nairobi. 
Chr. nigroeiliata Auriv. (76 c). Both wings as well as body and antennae unicoloured light grey. 
Forewing only beneath the fine yellow costal margin with very scanty fine black irroration and a brown post- 
median almost straight transverse line. Fringe of hindwing in the posterior half of the termen at the end jet- 
black. Adamaua, Sannaga (Cameroon). 
Chr. nivea Auriv. (76 d). Body white, antennae grey, patagia, palpi, and anterior hips orange. Anterior 
tibiae and costal margin of forewing jet-black. From the apex of the fore wing a straight brownish-grey line 
across both the wings to the inner margin of the hindwing. Fringe of hindwing (in fresh specimens) at the end 
jet-black. Cameroon, Ugandas.

2. Genus: Oirysectropa Beth.-B. 
In the forewing vein 10 rises separately from the stalk of 8 + 9, in the hindwing vein 8, for a short 
distance, is fused with the anterior edge of the cell. 
Chr. roseofasciata Auriv. (= unilinea Beth.-B.) (76 d). Forewing pale yellowish, with a straight 
antemedian transverse line the colour of which varies between pinkish-violet and rust-colour, traversing both 
wings, on its inner side in the cell with or without a black dot of coarse scales. In fresh specimens the whole 
surface of the wings is very scantily strewn with coarse black scales. Veins beneath with a pinkish-brown tint. 
West Africa, Cameroon to Gabun. 
3. Genus : Ectropa Wllgrn. 
Neuration similar to that of the preceding genus. Hindwing strongly angled. 
Ect. ancilis Wllgr. (76 d). Wings brown, costal margin of forewing greyer, the dark postmedian line 
strongly bent outward. Forewing with a dark cross-vein spot. Caffraria, Natal, Transvaal.
