line, on the forewing at the apex and behind the cell dark brown. Abdomen before the anal end with a red 
lateral spot. Legs with less conspicuous white rings. Wings beneath more variegated, forewing before the cell 
with red spots. 14- 15 mm. Cameroon, Spanish Guinea. 
12. Genus: Syiiiplileps Warr. 
Separated from all the other genera by veins 10 + 8 + 9 being stalked in forewing. Type: atomosalis 
Warr. from Australia. — The 3 African species look very different from each other. 
S. suffusa Warr. (= signicostata Strd.) (76 k). Rusty brown. Forewing at the costal margin, especially 
near the apex clay-coloured. Same colour before the distal margin which, however, is very dark rusty brown. 
Hindwing before the distal margin more broadly brightened. At the cross-vein a silvery white streak. 18—20 mm. 
Niger District, Spanish Guinea. 
S. trijuncta Warr. (75 i). Wings somewhat more elongate. Ground-colour white. With short brownish 
streaks which are denser at the costal margin of the forewing. Black dots on the forewing before the distal 
margin, on the hindwing at the margin. 30 mm. Niger District, Cameroon. 
S. inops Gaede (75 i). Wings shaped as in trijuncta. Body brownish yellow. Wings yellowish white. 
Fore wing at the base and costal margin somewhat browner, with some indistinct brownish yellow undulate 
lines parallel to the distal margin. On the hindwing these lines extend more clistally at the inner margin. 
Fringes in both wings lighter. 26 mm. East Africa. 
13. Genus : ISeguma Warr. 
Distinguished from all the other genera by the presence of an accessory cell in the forewing, from the 
apex of which veins 8 and 9 arise, 10 from its anterior edge. Palpi project far in the typical species. Type: 
constellata Warr. from India. 
B. radiaia Warr. Antennae of d short-combed. Ground-colour reddish yellowish brown. Forewing 
with pale ochreous transverse bands which are reddish yellow inside. The dark ground-colour forms narrow 
triangles between the bands. The 3 interior and 2 exterior bands are approximated at the inner margin, the 
4 median ones extend to the submedian fold. Veins in the distal area with reddish ochreous streaks. Hindwing 
with a similar interior band and one from the centre of the costal margin, which bifurcates four times. At the 
apex a light spot, d 30 mm. Kassai R. 
14. Genus: Clirysotypus Btlr. 
Similar to the genus Pygaera. Thus probably veins 7 + 10 + 8 + 9 of fore wing stalked, but not veins 
6 and 7 of hindwing. Type: dives Btlr. 
Chr. dives Btlr. Body blackish-brown, abdomen with ochreous brown hair. Wings glossy, dark golden 
brown, with two rusty red transverse lines, and a subapical line. Costal margin also rusty red, at the base 
darker. 50 mm. Madagascar. 
Chr. dawsoni Dist. Body pale ochreous, thorax in front darker. Forewing ochreous brown, with 6 dark 
transverse lines. The first 3 near the base, more or less distinctly forked at the costal margin. The fourth a 
little behind the cell, beginning forked below the costal margin, the fifth forked at the inner angle, the sixth 
extending near the apex. Between them many short streaks. Hindwing quite similar. 40 mm. Transvaal. 
15. Genus: Argyrotypus Btlr. 
Similar to the preceding genus. Hindwing narrower, bevelled at the apex. Antennae more broadly 
combed, palpi longer. 
A. locuples Btlr. Thorax red-brown, abdomen silvery grey. Forewing above dark red-brown, almost 
altogether covered with round silvery white spots. Hindwing lustrous silvei'y grey, at the inner angle with dark 
red-brown reticulated lines. 40 mm. Madagascar. 
Note: Camadeniana capitalis Strd., described as Thyridida, belongs to the microlepidoptera.
