C'ALLOCOSSUS; ZEUZEROPS; EREMOCOSSUS; AZYGOPHLEPS. By M. Gaede. 
distantly separated, 6 and 7 close together. Palpi erect, projecting beyond frons. Antennae of £ very short- 
combed, in the $ plain. Type: leucosticta Hmps. 
leucosticta. D. leucosticta Hmps. probably does not occur typically in Africa. — sierraleonensis Strd. (79 e). Forewing 
sierra- rus ^y yellow with white round spots and smaller yellow ones separated by an oblique red-brown median band, 
leone ns is. ^ ^ x . 
the edges of which are parallel, whilst in the Indian form it is about 4 times as broad at the inner margin as 
at the costal margin. Hindwing red-brown. 30 mm. Transvaal, Sierra Leone. 
locuples. D. locuples Mab. Forewing red-brown with many pearl-white round spots, 3 rows of them at the distal 
margin, some at the costal margin and the rest of the wing. Hindwing white, spotless. 34 mm. Madagascar. 
The species has been described as Endagria , but it might be leucosticta or a transition-form to it despite of the 
white hind wing. 
8. Genus: Callocossus Aur. 
In the forewing vein 10 arises near 11. Vein 8 may arise on a long stalk with 7, or it may be absent 
altogether. In both wings vein 6 arises far in front. Type: elegans Aur. 
auroguttata. C. auroguttata H.-Schaff. (79 a). Black, with a metallic green gloss. Thorax behind and the anal end 
orange. Eorewing with large, distantly separated orange spots. Hindwing with few spots at the anal end. 
$ 100-—130 mm. Sierra Leone, Congo. 
rauana. C. rauana Strd. (= langi Holl.) is coloured as auroguttata. Thorax chiefly orange, the ground-colour 
forming spots. Abdomen above orange with a dark median line. Both wings densely spotted orange. 48 to 
70 mm. Senegal, East Africa. - In these two species vein 8 is present. 
elegans. C. elegans Aur. (79 d). The marking is more orange-red, thorax and forewing as in rauana. Hindwing 
spotless, at the costal and distal margins orange-red, also the anal-end of the otherwise greenish-black abdomen. 
$ 42—48 mm. Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Congo, Spanish Guinea. — This species and probably also the following 
stephania lack vein 8 in the forewing. 
stephania. C. stephania Drc. Only the head and tegulae are orange-red. Hindwing and abdomen without orange- 
red markings. Forewing as in elegans, but the spots are less densely arranged. 46 mm. East Africa. 
9. Genus: Zeuzerops Strd. 
Antennae of strongly pectinate on half their length. Veins 4 and 5 arise almost from the same place, 
vein 6 far in front on both wings. In the fore wing vein 8 is absent, 7 + 9 on a short stalk. Vein 11 nearer 
to the base of the wing. 
hyalini- Z. hyalinipennis Strd. (79 e). Body black, in fresh specimens probably with a green gloss, with orange- 
P enms - red head and tegulae, the dorsal spots on the thorax and abdomen being orange-red. too. Forewing hyaline, 
only at the costal and inner margins black with orange-red spots. Hindwing at the inner margin black with 
some orange hairs. d 35 mm. East Africa. — It might be the d of rauana or stephania, if the neuration were 
not slightly different. 
10. Genus: Ercmoeossus Hmps. 
Palpi relatively long. Antennae of d shortly pectinate to the tips. Forewing in the middle at the costal 
margin slightly concave. Veins 4 and 5 close together, 6 from the upper cell-angle, 7 + 3 and 9 from the apex 
of the accessory cell, 10 from its anterior edge, 11 free. In the hindwing veins 6 + 7 stalked. Posterior tibiae 
without spurs. Type : foedus Swli. from India. 
proleuca. E. proleuca Hmps. Similar to a darker brown jordana Stgr. (Vol. II, pi. 55 1). The marking is more 
distinctly white. A narrow band at the costal margin, a shorter one from the base a little above the inner 
margin, and one from the apex to the base of vein 2, where it is distally broader. Hindwing white. 22—30 mm. 
Aden. 
senegalensis. E. senegalensis Le Gerf. Similar to ( Dysp.) jordana Stgr. and perhaps synonymous with it and with 
foedus. In Vol. II, p. 427, we had already mentioned that jordana is presumably no Dyspessa, as is also shown 
by the figure on pi. 55. The same colour, though with somewhat more intense markings, we find in senegalensis. 
Fore wing ochreous white. Below the cell a broad greyish-yellow band and a similar one from the centre of 
the inner margin to the apex, before the margin dark scales. Hindwing dingy white with a fine pale grey 
marginal line. d 34 mm. Senegal. 
11. Genus: Azygoplileps Hmps. 
In the forewing the inserted cell extends far basad, so that vein 11 arises only after its beginning. Veins 
7 + 8 on a short stalk, arising with 9 from the same place. In the hindwing veins 4 and 5 often somewhat
