Subfamily URAPTERYGINAE. 



Euctenurapteryx gen. iio\-. 



A genus of much stouter build than Urapteryx Leach; more thickly scaled. 

 Antennae of c? deeply pectinated ; of ? bluntly serrated. Hiudwings with a short 

 blunt tail, the bindmargin on either side of it being irregularly waved. 



Type: Euctenurapteryx macidlcaudj.vt'ia'M.otsch. (Acaena). 



Tristrophis obtusicauda sp. nov. 



Of the same size and shape as T. veneris Hutler, but with the usual markings of 

 Urapteryx — viz., two broadish, transverse, brown grey bands, with a smaller cell dash 

 between them, and two small reddish dots before the abbreviated tail ; but the 

 antennae, as in veneris, are laminated. 



Several examples fi'om ,Tapan. 



Urapteryx fulvinervis sp. nov. 



Like U.podaliriaia Guen., but smaller ; the apical third of the forewings \-aried 

 with a number of transverse rusty fuscous striae, but without any third line, as in 

 podaliriata. The hindwings are still more different ; the tail is only half as long as 

 in podaliriata ; there is no trace of the pale grey curved line which in that species 

 precedes the second rusty line ; along the inner margin there runs a distinct rusty 

 line from base to outer margin, and the three median nervules are all rusty; the tail 

 spot is blackish, not red, and the numerous ochreous fuscous striae that fill the sjjace 

 before the tail extend upwards towards the inner angle. The stripes throughout are 

 redder than in podaliriata. 



Expanse of wings : 40 mm. 



t)ne S from Padang. 



Brachurapteryx gen. nov. 



Dift'ers fi-om the Palaearctic genus Craplery.c Leach, in that the tail of the hind- 

 wings is reduced to a mere angular projection ; the antennae are thicker, and the 

 position and direction of the lines are dissimilar. 



Type : Braehuraptery.r hreviana Hiib. (Tlierinia). 



Callurapteryx gen. nov. 



Like Brachurapteryx Warr., a new-world genus, but distinguished from it by 

 having the antennae of the d pectinated. The cliaracter of the markings, however, 

 is quite enoiigh to distinguish it from Euctemt^ripteryx, the East Asiatic genus, 

 which also has pectinated antennae in the (S. 



Type : C. saturniaria H. S. (Uraptei-yx). 



Phrygionis Hiib. (Verz., p. 307). 

 At p. 291 of the Verzeichniss HUbner gives Eulepidotis with three species — viz., 

 ilyriaaVram., politia Cnim., and alabastraria Hiib. Ofthesej:joiiiia Cram, has been 

 removed to Nepheloleicca; Eidepidotis must therefore stand for ilyrias and alabas- 

 traria. At p. 307, under Phrygionis, we have also three species — viz., cultaria 

 llah. , corinna Cram., and juliauaria Stoll. Of these the last two are congeneric
