cell to origin of vein 2 and below vein 2 to termen, the costa and rest of wing 

 dark brown, leaving a little orange above base of vein 2 and at termen extending 

 to just below vein 2 ; a round fulvous orange spot beyond the discocellulars - 

 ciUa brown to near tornus. Hindwing gradually expanding to the large lobe^ 

 the outer edge of which is again gradually rounded off to the rather short and 

 broad tail ; fulvous orange to the lobe, then black-brown with a large, somewhat 

 elliptical fulvous orange spot on the lobe, its inner edge produced inwards to a 

 spur above vein 4.

Differs from S. papilionaria Wlk. in the hindwing gradually expanding to 

 the lobe, the outer edge of which is gradually rounded off to the taU. 



Semioptila latifulva n. sp. 



(J. Head, thorax, and abdomen fulvous orange ; antennae black-brown ; 

 pectus, legs, and ventral surface of abdomen dark brown. Forewing fulvous 

 yellow to near end of cell and from thence to termen at vein 2, the costa, terminal 

 part of median nervure, and apical area dark brown ; a round fulvous yellow 

 spot beyond the discocellulars ; cUia dark except at tornus. Hindwing expanding 

 slightly near base, then narrowing into a long slender taU ; fulvous yellow to one 

 half, then dark brown with a short yellow streak above inner margin at two-thirds, 

 when it expands shghtly into traces of a lobe.

Anomoeotes phaeomera n. sp. 



$. Head, thorax, and abdomen fulvous yellow ; antennae black-brown, 

 Forewing thinly scaled ; the costal, apical, and terminal areas pale brown, the 

 apical area expanding into upper angle of cell axid beyond the cell to vein 4, 

 the terminal area narrowing to tornus and with dentate inner edge ; the vein.s 

 brown ; the basal area, except towards costa, fulvous yellow to origin of vein 2 

 defined on outer side by a pale brown band from the costal area to vein 2 ; the 

 interspaces between the yeUow area and the brown terminal area white, narrow 

 in the cell and broad below it. Hindwing thinly scaled, white, the basal area 

 tinged with fulvous yellow, the veins towards termen, the termen. and ciUa tinged 

 with brown.

Staphylinochrous ruficilia n. sp. 



(J. Head, thorax, and abdomen deep brownish rufous ; antennae black- 

 brown, the shaft bright fulvous red above on basal half. Forewing thinly scaled ; 

 fulvous red to middle of costa, and thence with rather diffused oblique outer 

 edge to inner margin near tornus ; the rest of wing red-brown with the veins 

 and a fine terminal line darker, the costa more rufous, the ciUa rufous with some 

 brownish at tips. Hindwing fulvous red, the terminal area suffused with reddish 

 brown from apex to vein 2 ; ciUa fulvous at base, brownish at tips.
