S. aurea n. sp. (77 k). Similar to violacea. The 2nd palpal joint at the apex white, a streak before the 
antennae also white. Abdomen above, excepting the base, dark golden yellow, tarsi with somewhat yellow 
rings. In the glossy blue forewing only a short hyaline basal ray. Hindwing above vein 2 as far as its base 
bluish-black, below 1 c as far as the inner margin on half its length bluish-black. C 22 mm. Cameroon. Type 
in the Berlin Museum. 
41. Genus: Gouopsfa Strd. 
Palpi thin, oblique. The type is without the proboscis and antennae. In the forewing vein 4 is 
absent, in the hindwing 2, 3, 4 separated, 5 above the centre of the cross-vein, 6 and 7 united. The hair- 
tufts on the spin’s and on the 1st tarsal joint feeble. Abdomen somewhat wasp-like. 
C. terminiflava Strd. (77 k). Body and legs rusty red. Abdomen above on the 3rd and 4th segments 
black, beneath on the whole length whitish and with some white lateral dots. Hind tarsi black. Wings violettish- 
black. Forewing at the apex as far as the anal angle yellow. 30 mm. Cameroon.

below orange, legs orange, black and yellow. Forewing bluish-black, below the cell at the base a hyaline ray. 
Hindwing yellowish-hyaline. 28 mm. Cameroon. 
44. Genus: Aclixoana Strd. 
A somewhat questionable Aegeriid. Palpi very long, also the 3rd joint long. Hind tibiae slightly 
thickened, spurs of very unequal length. In the forewing veins 6, 7 and 8, 9 somewhat nearer together, ail

its centre black. Between them and at the distal margin reddish-yellow spots. Hindwing at the apex somewhat 
more broadly margined with black, at the inner margin golden red hairs. $ 21 mm. Spanish Guinea. 
Glaucopis iridea Mob. from Staudinger’s Collection was among the Sesiidae of the Berlin Museum. 
The species belongs to the Zygaenidae, but it was omitted there, because without having seen the type one 
could not form any opinion about its systematic position.
