DUOMITUS; EULOPHONOTUS; TRICHOCOSSUS; GYMNELEMA. By M. Gaede. 549 
17. Genus: Duomitiis Hbn. 
By this generic name a species is described which surely does not belong there. 
D. armstrongi Hmps. (80 d). $ thorax and forewing brownish-grey. Thorax with some black spots, armvtrongi. 
forewing with very many. Abdomen and hindwing dark brown, the latter in the distal area with black spots. 
The filiform antennae are probably too long in the original figure. If it were not mentioned that vein 6 of the 
hindwing is absent, one might presume that it is the $ of Zeuz. hyalinipennis. 40 mm. Gold Coast. The larva 
is in the trunks of coffee-trees. 
We append here yet numerous forms which are rather doubtfully ranged among the Gossidae. 
18. Genus: Eulopliouotus Fldr. 
The cells of both wings without a partition-vein and an accessory cell. In the fore wing veins 4 and 5 
from the same place, 6 before the middle of the cross-vein, 7 and 9 from the upper cell-angle, 10 close before it, 
11 far away. Hindwing without vein 4; 5 and 6 equidistant from the cell-angles, 7 and 8 coalescent. In the 
fore wing the two inner-marginal veins anastomose in the last third in the + for which reason Karsch placed 
the only species to the Psychidae, in the $ they remain separated. The larva is a very pernicious borer in the 
trunks and twigs of the cocoa-trees, and can therefore not be placed to the Megalopygidae. Owing to the larva 
and the typical antennae we place the species to the Gossidae. 
E. myimeleon Fldr. (= obesus Karsch) (80 d). Body blackish-brown. G forewing hyaline, only at the myrmeleon. 
costal margin narrowly brownish, at the inner margin black spots on the white ground. Hindwing from the 
costal margin to below the cell hyaline, the rest blackish. $ fore wing black with numerous white dots and spots. 
Hindwing blackish-brown. 35—50 mm. West and South Africa. 
19. Genus: Tricliocossus Hmps-. 
Proboscis absent, palpi small, antennae pectinate to the tips. Thorax and abdomen long-haired. Hind 
tibiae with 2 pair of long spurs. Forewing short and broad. The upper inner-marginal vein feeble, the lower 
parted before the middle, veins 7 + 8 strongly stalked, the others free. Hindwing with a long frenulum, all 
the veins free. Type: albiguttata Hmps. The larvae are genuine Psychidae, the imagines have $$ with normal 
wings and approach the Gossidae more than any other family, although they are no genuine Gossidae owing 
to the larvae. 
T. albiguttata Hmps. Body dark brown with white hair. Eorewing red-brown with round white spots albiguttata. 
of variable size, of which below vein 1 only 2 in the middle and at the distal margin, only 1 at the costal 
margin. Cross-vein somewhat darker brown. Hindwing red-brown, the cell and the space below it whitish. 
20 mm. Transvaal. 
T. arvensis Janse. Body white-haired. Wings dark greyish-brown, at the inner margin with white arvensis. 
hairs, otherwise apparently without any marking. 17—19 mm. Transvaal. Larva on Veronia krausei. 
20. Genus: Gyinnelema Heyl. 
In the shape similar to the preceding genus, but somewhat broader. Forewing with an accessory cell. 
Veins 9 + 10 almost invariably on a long stalk, 7 and 8 free or stalked. In the hindwing all the veins are free. 
Type: rougemonti Heyl. Also in this genus the larvae are Psychid-like, the imagines Cossid-like. The larvae 
live in very long bags covered with dry grass-blades. 
G. stygialis Hmps. Body and forewing black, forewing with some large white scales. Hindwing blackish- stygialis. 
brown. 18—30 mm. Transvaal. In the $ veins 9 and 10 anastomose in the forewing. 
G. imitata Janse (80 c). Body reddish-brown. Wings umber-brown and blackish-brown. Eorewing imitata. 
at the base and costal margin with white scales, and a blackish-brown marginal line. Hindwing with blackish- 
brown scales, at the inner margin darker. Fringes in both wings with white tips. <$ 23—26 mm. Transvaal. 
Veins 7 + 8 stalked or free. 
G. stibarodes Meyr. Body blackish-brown with some white hairs. Eorewing lighter and darker blackish- stibarodes. 
brown, with a paler marking, in the 8 indistinctly, in the $ more distinctly white. At the base 2 spots, an 
interrupted band on ]/ 3 of the length of the wing, a spot at the centre of the costal margin, on % of the 
length of the wing 4 spots in a curved row, and a few small ones in the centre of the wing and at the margin. 
Hindwing blackish-brown, in the $ with white hairs. Fringe whitish. 20—25 mm. Cape Colony.
