93, Anisodes pallida. 



Anisodes jxdlida Moore, Lep. Ceyl. iii. p. 445, PL 201, f. 11; 

 Perixera syntona Meyr., Trans. Ent. Soc. 1889, p. 487. 



(J9. 27-30 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-whitish with a 

 few dark fuscous scales. Palpi purple above, whitish beneath; 

 in ^ IJ, second joint smooth above, beneath with long hairs 

 directed somewhat backwards, terminal joint minute, bent down- 

 wards; in 9 2J, terminal joint elongate. Antennae ochreous- 

 whitish ; pectinations in $ 8. Abdomen ochreous-whitish ; 

 sides suffused with purple; a dorsal series of dark fuscous dots 

 Legs ochreous-whitish; anterior and middle veins suffused with 

 purple. Forewings triangular, costa gently arched, apex tolerably 

 pointed, termen bowed, oblique; ochreous-whitish with scattered 

 dark fuscous scales and blackish dots; a dot beneath costa near 

 base, and another above dorsum near base; three or four dots 

 about cell; a median discal dot; a series of dots from 4 costa to 

 J dorsum, the fourth dot displaced inwards; a terminal series of 

 dots; cilia ochreous-whitish with a basal series of minute dots. 

 Hind wings with termen rounded; as forewings but discal spot 

 larger, subtriangular, ochreous-whitish outlined with blackish. 

 Underside whitish with some purplish suffusion, and postmedian 

 and terminal series of purple dots. 



There has been some confusion over Moore's species. I follow 

 Sir Geo. Hampson's identification. The species should be 

 readily recognised by the peculiar $ palpi. 



N.Q.: Kuranda, from March to August. — Q.: Burpengary 

 near Brisbane, in April, attached to Phyllanthus Ferdinandi. 

 Also from New Guinea and Ceylon.
