In all cases the centre of the central fascia .it inner margin forms an oblicpie 

 pale patch, bv which the species may be distinguished. 



Subfamily HYDKIO.MKNINAK. 



Anisobole gen. nov. 



Like llrlii/ri(t Hiib., but ditfering in the structure of the antennae of the S- 

 Instead of the shortly fasciculate cilia, those of Anisobole are pedicellate, ending in a 

 tuft of cilia, alternating with two rows of short setae from the underside of the shaft 

 of the antennae, the antennae thus having the apjiearance, until closely examined, of 

 being bijiectinale as in Xanthorhoe. The discocellular of iiindwings is oblicjne, with 

 the radial from the centre. 



Type : A. suffuTnata Sehiff.

Fomvinrjs : bone-colour, the markings dark fuscous; basal patch narrow, its 

 edge nearly vertical ; central fascia dark fuscous, interrupted along suhmedian fold 

 by the confluence of the pale bands which precede and follow it, the inner one 

 forming a rough triangle, more or less filled up with fuscous lines and suffusion, its 

 edges alone remaining i)ale, the outer running, slightly wavy, parallel to hindmargin 

 at three-fourths, traversed by two narrow brown lines, which at the costal end are 

 bracket-shaped ; in tlie fascia are traces of darker waved lines and a black cell-spot ; 

 the fuscous hindmarginal area is interrupted by an oblique pale apical streak, and 

 traversed by a pale dentate submarginal line, the teeth filled up with darker fuscous, 

 those beyond cell more or less obscured by a marginal fuscous cloud, that between 

 veins 3 and 4 followed by a jiale spot, which in the ? is produced to hindmargin ; 

 marginal line black, interrupted at the veins, on each side of which it is thickened; 

 fringe fuscous, darker beyond the veins and pale at the extreme apex of wing. 



llinchvinffs : dark grey to the curved fuscous postmediau line, paler beyond, 

 this pale s]iace containing four curved dark lines, of which the third is lunulate; 

 fringe pale, with dark spots beyond veins. 



I'nderside of both wings with basal three-fifths dark grey, containing a black 

 cell-spot, and edged by a finely crenulate line, followed by a broad ochreous band ; 

 submarginal line preceded by a black blotch beyond cell and dark clouds above inner 

 margin ; fringe pale, mottled wit h darker. Head, thorax, and abdomen fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 35 mm.
