AVilliam Doherty obtained a pair of C'ruria donotvani (Boisd.) in Dili, Timor, 

 in !May 1891, which agree so well with typical donmvani that we cannot even sul>- 

 specifieally separate them from Australian exanijiles. IC. J. 



Comocrus .lord. gen. nov. 



S ?. Korehead with a short conical i)rocessu^: bearing a circular ridgo. I'alpi 

 with long hairs, except third joint, which is about four times as long as liroad. All 

 the tibiae tufted with long hairs. Breast and abdomen rough with long hairs. 



Xeuration : forewiugs with \eiu 10 from nearer to 9 than to arcolc ; vein 9 of about 

 double the length of the stem of 8 and 9; vein 3 from a little before apex of cell, 4 

 nearer to 5 than to 3 ; second partition of median nervure longer than the respecti\e 

 portion of the outer margin. Ilindwings with upper discocellular veinlet arched, 

 shorter than the second one, which is oblique and straight ; second partition of median 

 nervure as long as lower discocellular veinlet ; veins 3 and 4 from lower angle of cell.

Distinguished from the allied genera by the tibiae liearing long luiirs at the 

 outer edge ; from A(jarii<Ui, Leach and Pladaenoides Lew. it diflers in vein 10 to the 

 forewings being stalked witii 8 and 9, instead of coming from the areole as in those 

 genera. K. .1. 



The Indo-Australian genera with vein lU of the forewings being stalked with 

 8 and 9 can be distinguished as follows : — 



({. Third joint of palpi twice as long as broad, or shorter. 

 «'. E\'es clothed with hairs. Grinocxda Jord. gen. nov. 

 6'. Eyes naked. Crinala Jord. gen. nov. 

 b. Third joint of palpi three (or more) times as long as broad. 



c'. ^Middle and hind tibiae with long hairs. Comocrus .lord, gen. nov. 

 d'. Middle and hind tibiae without long hairs. 



((■'. A'einlike fold within cell to Ilindwings forked, joined to the disco- 

 celhdar veinlets, and encircling together with them a rhomboidal 

 space. Scrubiijera Jord. gen. nov. 

 W. Veinlike fold not forked. 



a'^. Forehead with a conspicuous trnui'ale cone. 



((*. Abdomen above at base with tuft of hairs; discocellular 

 veinlets to hindwings deeply concave, lower one longer 

 than the second partition of the median nervure. 

 Uhdonornorpha Jlotsch. 

 b'. Abdomen above at base without tuft of hairs; discocellular 

 veinlets to hindwings feebly incurved ; lower discocel- 

 lulai nervule not longer than the second partition of the 

 median nervure. Chiiria Jord. gen. nov. 

 ?)'. Forehead convex, without conical processus, 



c'. Antennae only one-tifth siiorter than the forewing. 



Burgena ^\'ik. 

 ff. Antennae one-third shorter than the forewing.
