There was hitherto only one genus in this section, Apina Wlk., with one 

 species, .fl . caWtsio Wlk. ; I add a new genus based \v[tOT\ Aegocera cornigera Butl., 

 and in future a third one must be erected for Pludaenoides affinis (Boisd.). 



Ipana .Tord. gen. nov. 



(J ?. Forehead broadest in front of antennae, its supra-oral edge produced, with 

 a flattened, somewhat recurved, and at the tip truncate or rounded horny processus, 

 which is excavate above and convex below. Antennae l)iserially serrate in c?, serrations 

 very short and broad, scarcely narrower at the tip than the respective antennal joint 

 is long; in ? the serrations are feeble, but can be noticed imder a moderate lens, 

 especially towards the apex of the antennae. Second joint of palpi clothed with 

 elongate scales, which are shorter than the joint is long ; third joint naked, about two 

 or three times as long as broad. Hairlike scales on mid- and hindtiliiae much 

 shorter than the long spurs. Abdomen hairy only at tip. 



Nem-ation : forewings with vein 10 (i-om between middle and ajiex of areole ; 

 .stalk of 8. 9 shorter than areole : second partition of median nervure longer than the 

 respective portion of the outer margin. Hindwings with lower discocellular veinlet 

 a little longer than, or as long as, the second partition of the median nervure. 



Type: Ipana cornigera (Butler), Tr. Ent. Sac. Loud. 188G. p. 381 (Gayiidah 

 and Peak Downs). 



Agarista diversa Wlk., Lep. Het. B. M. XXXI. p. 49 (1864) (X. Australia), 

 belongs probably also in this new genus, which has nothing to do with Aegocera 

 Latr., but comes clo.se to Apina Wlk. Apina Wlk. differs from Ipxma gen. nov. in 

 the pectinations of the antennae being much longer, in the legs and paljii being 

 clothed with long hairs, and in vein 2 of the forewings standing farther from the 

 lower angle of the cell. 



Ipana cornigera (Butl.) has lieen recorded from N. Australia and British New 

 Guinea. William Itoherty obtained some .specimens of either sex at Oiuainisa, Dutch 

 Timor, November and December 1891, which do not seem to us to be subspecifically 

 separable. This is the second case amongst Agaristidae of Timor and Nortli 

 Australia being inhabited by the same insect. Agarista tiinorensis Rothseh. sp. nov. 

 (p. 48) may be quoted as a third case, indicating a relationship of the Timorese 

 fauna to that of North Australia. K. J. 



m. American forms with pectinate or serrate antennae. 



The number of genera of this section is much greater in the Neotropical and 

 Nearctic regions than in the Eastern liemisphere.
