IDOLATTERIA Wlsm. 
(ci€wXov =a portrait; Atteria Wkr., nom. gen.) 
Type: Idolatteria simulatrix Wlsm. (Tab. VIII. fig. 8.) 
Ipoxtarrerta Wlsm., ante 214 (1913). 
Antennae less than half the length of the forewings. Palpi projecting twice the length of the head beyond 
it, curved downward; terminal joint much shorter than median. Head and Thorax smoothly scaled. 
Forewings with the costa somewhat abruptly arched near the base, apex obtuse, termen convex, slightly 
oblique: neuration 12 veins, all separate; 7 to termen. Hindwings broad, brightly coloured: neuration 
8 veins ;.3-4 separate, 5 closely approximate to 4; 6-7 closely approximate toward base; cubitus 
impectinate. Abdomen moderate. Legs: hind tibiae smoothly scaled. 
This genus differs from Atteria Wkr. in having FW: 7-8 separ ate, not stalked ; and 
from Pseudatteria Wlsm. in FW: 7 going to the termen below the apex, not to the 
costa—HW: 5 is closely approximate to 4, while in Pseudatteria this vein is straight.

1. Idolatteria simulatrix Wlsm., ante 214. (Tab. VIII. fig. 8.) 
Antennue purplish black, sprinkled with white scales beyond the middle. Palpi dark reddish grey. Head 
purplish black on the crown; face white. Thorax purplish black, mottled with dirty white; patagia 
and the tips of the tegulae white. Forewings reddish orange, after a few white scales at the extreme 
base of the costa is a series of ten dark reddish purple costal streaks, including a spot at the apex, 
alternating with white spaces; along the termen are about six smaller spots of the same colour, two, 
very small, below the apex, sometimes tending to become confluent with the outer one of two larger 
spots which precede them; the next two spots are each preceded by another, and a few very small 
spots are ranged again within the outer series and along the dorsum; cilia conforming to the adjacent 
colours. Ewp. al. 25 mm. Hindwings reddish orange, with eight purplish marginal spots, including 
one apical and one costal, within which is a second, shorter, parallel series of four or five; cilia 
conforming to the adjacent colours. Abdomen orange, barred with blackish in front and behind. Legs 
dark reddish grey.

2. Idolatteria pyropis, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 9.) 
Antennae less than 3; purplish fuscous, fading to whitish on the outer half. Palpi porrect to fully twice 
the length of the head beyond it; dark purplish fuscous. Head yellowish white, stained with purplish 
fuscous above. Thorax purplish fuscous, with small, lateral, orange streaks posteriorly and on the 
tegulae. forewings with the costa arched, especially toward the base, apex obtuse, termen obliquely 
convex; deep orange, the costa and termen alternately marked with dark purple and yellowish white, 
the purple assuming a more reddish tinge where it encroaches on the orange ground-colour, as it does 
more widely toward the base, reaching nearly to one-third of the width of the wing, whereas outwardly
