B. disjumcta sp. n. (76 i). Body rusty red. Forewing whitish yellow, at the base as far as y 3 rusty red, 
in the cell slightly bent forward, then straight to the inner margin in which there are some darker lines. Behind 
the centre a rusty red band, behind the cell strongly excurved and only discernible yet in the margins, then 
obliquely inward. Submarginal band from the costal margin to the centre and then below vein 2, where it is 
almost black. Behind it and partly also before it pink. Hindwing light brown with 3 rusty brown, somewhat 
undulating bands, the exterior one broader, at the centre of the distal margin effaced by white. Beneath 
somewhat more distinctly marked, ^ 16 mm. East Africa. Type in the Berlin Museum 
B. chrysotherma Hmps. Golden yellow. Forewing with numerous rusty red lines. Rusty red stripes 
below the costal margin to the centre and in the centre of the interior area. Behind the cell a curved band 
as far as vein 1, from the exterior edge of which, at vein 5, an excurved line extends to a little above the inner 
angle. The incurved subapical line is continuous along the distal margin. Hindwing with 3 more distinct rusty 
red lines in the basal area and a darker band behind the cell. $ 30 mm. Gold Coast. 
B. aldabrana Fryer (76 g). Compared with minutula (76 h), and therefore ranged here. Forewing light 
brownish, with a slight reddish-brown hue, uniformly finely striated dark brown. At the costal margin near 
the apex 2 black dots rather distinct. Hindwing more intensely reddish-brown, otherwise similar. In the $ 
both wings liued with brick-red. 15 18 mm. Seychelle Is. 
7. Genus: IMxoa Hmps. 
In the forewing veins 7+8 and 9 + 10 are stalked. Third palpal joint of $ short, of $ longer. Type: 
albatalis Swh. from India. 
D. clathratipennis Strd. (75 i). Reddish-yellow with some fine red-brown lines. At or only behind the 
base of the forewing a red-brown spot, one behind the cell, sometimes connected with the band otherwise 
beginning at vein 2. Below % of the costal margin another spot being less distinct. On the hindwing the median 
band, which is strangulated there, is continued, besides traces of an interior band. 20 mm. Cameroon, Spanish 
Guinea. discata Warr. from Rhodesia, Natal, according to Hampson’s figure is separated by more distinct 
marginal dots at most. Probably, however, the name aenea Saalm. from Madagascar has priority. 
8. Genus: IMagiosella Hmps. 
In the forewing veins 7+8 are stalked. In the hindwing veins 6 and 7 arise from the same place, 
8 as far as the centre of the cell close next to it, or partly fused with it. Type: clathrata, Hmps. 
PI. clathrata Hmps. (76 g). Body rusty red. Wings with dense rusty red reticulate lines, the small spots 
between them yellow. On the forewing at the centre of the costal margin a rusty brown triangle. A band from 
the apex to the centre of the inner margin continuous on the hindwing, with a branch to the centre of the distal 
margin in both wings. 18—20 mm. Gold Coast, Cameroon, Fernando Po. 
PI. sfrigifera Strd. (76 h). Reddish-yellow with few fine dark reticulated lines. A stronger line from 
% of the costal margin on the forewing, in the beginning excurved, continued to the centre of the inner margin 
of the hindwing. On the forewing an irregular subapical line. Beneath with an intense black central spot on 
the forewing. 24— 30 mm. Spanish Guinea. The species is remarkably similar to the Indo-Australian Thyridida 
Strigl. scitaria ITAt. 
9. Genus: Proterozeuxfs Warr. 
Forewing somewhat oblong, at the costal margin slightly concave, apex pointed, distal margin excurved. 
Hindwing similarly shaped. Veins 7 4 8 of forewing stalked. Antennae in both sexes bipectinate. Type: 
splendida Warr. 
Pr. brunnea Warr. Dark brown, $ lighter, densely covered with dark reticulated lines. Besides on the 
forewing 4 vertical lines before the centre, the exterior line bifurcating at the costal margin, with a browner 
shadow at the cell-end, from where one branch runs to the inner margin, the other to the anal angle.Behind 
it a submarginal line. Hindwing only with the 3 last lines. 48—54 mm. Transvaal. 
Pr. pectinifera Hmps. Wings rusty yellow, densely striated rusty brown. On the forewing the interior 
line is rusty brown, excurved below the costal margin, otherwise incurved, median line straight. The exterior 
line forked above vein 5. From there one branch extends to behind the centre of the inner margin, the other 
undulated to the anal angle. Then another subapical line. Hindwing with a forked median line and a subapical 
line. $ 36 mm. Sierra Leone. 
Pr. arcuatalis Gaede (75 h). Rusty yellow with numerous dark striae. On the forewing the interior and 
median lines are vertical, slightly incurved at the costal margin. The two exterior lines also vertical, behind 
the cell incurved to the costal margin. Subapical line straight. On the hindwing 1 or 2 interior lines, the median 
line posteriorly forked, the exterior one bent at vein 4. The $ selected for the figure has very sharp lines
