Spurs and tarsi beneath white. Forewing at the margins with a silvery gloss. The distal hyaline area margined 
with orange. Hindwing narrowly edged with dark. Cross-vein in front feebly thickened. 22 mm. Central 
Africa, Rhodesia, Transvaal. 
S. auripes Hmps. Dark coppery brown. Palpi and margins of patagia yellow. Stripes on tibiae, tarsi 
and segmental margins of abdomen also yellow like the anal tuft. Frons laterally and anterior coxae white. 
On the forewing the distal hyaline area not margined with orange, on the hindwing the cross-vein in front 
thicker. $ 20—22 mm. Gold Coast. 
S. exochiformis Wkr. (= albifrons Hmps.). Black, with a blue gloss. Frons and palpi in front white. 
Abdomen with a white line on the 5th segment, beneath all white. Anterior coxae, middle tibiae partly and 
the bluish-black hind tibiae with a spot white. Tarsi white and black-ringed. In the forewing the longitudinal 
area only at the base, the wedge-area in the cell-end triangular, the distal hyaline area composed of short 
hyaline streaks, outside dentate. On the hindwing the cross-vein in front black, the bluish-black inner margin 
at the base with white hairs. In the $ the middle and hind tibiae less hairy, anal tuft above white, abdomen 
beneath brownish. 18—22 mm. Gold Coast. 
S. nyanga Beutenm. Bronze black. The two last segments of the abdomen beneath and middle coxae 
white. Forewing with narrow black margins, the costal margin beneath yellowish. $ 17 mm. Ogowe. 
9. Genus: Camaegeria 
Similar to Synanthedon. In the forewing veins 2 and 3 rise close together, 9 and 10 near the upper 
cell-angle, 11 somewhat farther towards the base, 7 + 8 on a long stalk. Hindwing as in Synanthedon, with 2 
inner-marginal veins. Hind tibiae with some hairs beside the unequal pairs of spurs. Antennae at the end 
slightly thickened, with small bristles at the tips. Palpi with appressed scales. 
C. auripicta Strd. (77 c). Body black. Thorax with a golden yellow median line, abdomen with similar 
dorsal spots. Anal end yellow. A broad lateral band on the thorax and two thirds of the length of the abdomen 
yellow. Palpi yellow, hind tibiae and tarsi yellow and black. Forewing hyaline, the margins and the steep 
cross-vein narrow black. Hindwing with a fine black streak at the cross-vein in front. 22—25 mm. Cameroon. 
10. Genus: IfypaiitJiedon Hmps. 
Also the 2nd palpal joint at the base hairy. Small hair-tufts on the vertex and laterally on the thorax 
behind, and at the base of the abdomen, anal tuft small. Also the front and middle tibiae long-haired. In the 
forewing veins 2 and 3 near together, 7 + 8 stalked, 9 more remote from 7. Hindwing as in Synanthedon. 
Type: marisa Drc. 
H. marisa Drc. Brownish-black. Tegulae edged yellow. Legs with yellow and black rings. Forewing 
with reddish-brown fringe, veins and transverse streak. Hindwing with dark brown veins and fringe. 25 mm. 
South and Central Africa. 
11. Genus: l*o«losesfa Mdschl. 
Palpi thin, somewhat shorter than in the other genera. Antennae of dentate, of $ plain. Hind tibia 
at the end with a long pencil, tarsi very long, especially the basal joint, with short and dense hair. Abdomen 
at the base somewhat narrower. In the forewing also vein 3 + 4 on a short stalk. Type: syringae Mdschl. from 
South America. 
P. surodes Hmps. Body and forewing bluish-black. Palpi in front and tarsi excepting base white. 
C'hest laterally pink. Forewing not hyaline. Hindwing greenish-black. With hyaline basal streaks in the cell 
and as far as the inner margin. Beneath with a more violett gloss. In the $ the hindwing above is bluer with 
less green. 34—40 mm. Central Africa. 
12. Genus : Le Cerf. 
Proboscis present. Palpi erect, thin. Antennae a little more than half the length of the costal margin, 
in the $ feebly thickened at the ends. Tibiae without a hair-pencil, somewhat longer than normally. In the 
forewing veins 2 and 3 close together, 10 and 11 only separated in the first quarter of their length, 7 + 8 stalked 
to more than half their length. In the hindwing veins 3 + 4 short-stalked, 5 from the middle of the cross-vein, 
3 inner-marginal veins. 
M. rufescens Le Cerf (77 c). Body reddish-yellow. Palpi somewhat black. Antennae above bluish- 
black. Abdomen with 2 broader black bands, beneath with black segmental margins. Hind tibiae and tarsi 
reddish-yellow and black. Forewing at the inner-margin fine reddish-yellow; costal margin, distal margin, 
and cross-vein fine blackish-blue. Hindwing finely margined with blackish-blue, veins slightly red-brown.
