ARCTIIDAE. 

 Eriomastyx gen. nov. 



c??. First antennal segment very long, as iu Chamaita Walk. (18G2). C of 

 forewing connected with costa by several veinlets, as in ScMstopldeps Hamps. 

 (1891) ; four subcostals, SC anastomosed with C, SC^ on a stalk with SC in (?, 

 free from cell in ? , SC absent, SC and SC' on a stalk, R' from this stalk in ? , 

 free from cell in (?, cross-veins D- and U^ of e^nal length and forming an obtuse 

 angle directed distad in cJ, R> from this angle, in ? D- and D^ (or the vein 

 homologous to the two combined) also angulate together, but the angle directed 

 basad, M- from middle of cell in ?, from before middle in (?, M', M', R^ and li- 

 nearly equidistant from one another, D' and D' in the direction of M, appearing as 

 prolongation of that vein, as in Papilionidae. SC- and R' of hiudwiug on a long 

 stalk in ? , on a very short stalk in <?, the wing small in tj, with broad scent-fold 

 between costal edge and cell, the latter being narrower and C and SC- incurved. 

 In S foretibia reduced ; foretarsus thin, long, filiform ; midfemur densely clothed 

 on outer side with long thin hairs bearing each at end an ovoid vesicle, these 

 clubbed hairs resembling the stalked eggs of Hemerobius. 



Type : E. laiiis spec. nov. 



The genus differs from Sckistop/'leps iu the long first antennal segment, besides 

 neuration ; from ('auloccra in the long antennal segment and the presence of costal 

 veinlets ; from Chamaita in neuration. 



26. Eriomastyx latus spec. nov. 



cJ. Head and thora.K yellowish buff, antenna, legs, and abdomen creamy, 

 incrassate apices of midfemoral hairs pale tawny. 



Wings transjiarent ; uppersidc. Forewing broad, only half as long again 



as broad, costal margin strongly curved, yellowish buff, the colour most distinct 

 at base and hinder margin ; a subbasal line, widening ])ehind cell into a large patch, 

 another line from costal margin across apex of cell to middle of hinder margin, 

 and a deeply creuate line on disc purplish, indistinct ; a dot in middle of cell and 

 another on discocellular black. Hiudwiug paler than forewing. 



Underside without markings. 



?. Paler than cJ, abdomen almost white; purplish lines of forewing just 

 vestigial. 



Length of forewing : c? ? , Hi mm. 



One i, four ? ? . 



2T. Asura I'hodina spec. nov. 



S. Body flame-scarlet; abdomen and mid- and hindlegs bnlf; antenna 

 bipectinate. 



Wings, upperside. Forewing flame-scarlet, a subbasal band, costal margin, 



distal veins and fringe yellow, a large olive jiatch occupying more than central 



half of wing, bisinuate costally, trisinuatc distally and nnisinnate behind. • 



Hindwing pale rose-pink, with yellowish or bullish grey tinge ; C close to apex of 

 cell, R^ and R^ on a very short stalk, M' before apex of cell. 



Underside rose-pink, forewing washed with scarlet. 



?. Much larger than S and much jialer; antenna simple, with bristles ; C of
