 All four genera are characteristically Indo-Malayan. 



A. Hindwings with vein 8 anastomosing with 



margin of cell. 



a. Antennae in <J filiform 35. Amerila. 



b. „ „ more or less pectinated ...34. Nyctemera. 



B. Hindwings with vein 8 connected with cell by 



a bar 36. Hypsa. 



From these Digama differs as mentioned above. 



34. Nyctemera, Hb. 



Tongue well-developed. Antennae in £ more or less bipectinated 

 throughout, sometimes shortly in £ also. Palpi moderately long, 

 porrected or rather ascending, with appressed scales, terminal joint

 and 8 out of 9, 10 connected with 9 by a bar. Hindwings with 6 

 and 7 stalked or separate, 8 anastomosing shortly with margin of 

 cell near base.
