before the upex of the cell, terminating on the costa far before the 

 apex of the wing ; second subcostal terminating at the apex of the wing ; 

 dlscoldal cell long, reaching to about the middle of the wing ; discocellular 

 7iervid-es sinuous, outwardly oblique, the upper about half the length 

 of the lower ; third median nervale very strongly curved throughout its 

 basal half ; third and second medians arising together just beyond the lower 

 extremity of the cell ; suhmedian and internal nervm'es straight ; a tuft of 

 long ochreous hairs arises at the base of the cell on the upperside of the 

 wing, and is projected outwards and forwards. Eyes hairy. Antennce a 

 little less than half the lengih of the costa of the forewing, with a lengthen- 

 ed rather slender club. Type, Mycalesis (Plujseon] pandcea, Hopffer. 



Mr. !Moore in Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1S80, p. 155, when breaking 

 up the Asiatic species of Mycalesis into subgenera, was unacquainted 

 with M. pandcea, Hopffer, or he would probably hav3 made a new 

 genus for its reception. As far as I am aware, only two of his genera — 

 Loliora and Loesa — have the second subcostal nervule of the forcM'ing 

 emitted beyond the apex of the discoidal ceil as in M. pavdaa ; but I 

 am unacquainted with his g^enus Nasapa^* in the diagnosis of which no 

 reference is made to the position of this veinlet. Lohora has no 

 secondary sexual characters at all on the forewing, while Loesa has a 

 glandular patch of androconia on the underside of tbat wing, which is 

 entirely lacking in Physcon, while Fhysron has a tuft of hairs on the 

 sutural area of the forewing on the upperside, which is found in a differ- 

 ent form in the subgenera Virapa, Samundra, Gareris^ Satoa, 

 Sadarga^ Dalapa, Suralaya and Orsolricena, but not in Loesa. It would 

 appear therefore that Physcon has secondary sexual characters in the 

 male on both wings as in Mr. Moore's Group I (1. c, p. 155), while as 

 regards the neuration of ihe forewing it agrees with one genus in his 

 Group II (1. c, p. IGl), and with his Group III (1. c, p. 177).

* Ilerr (Jeorge Semper in Schmett. Philipp., p. 55 (1887) sinks the genus Kasapa nnder 

 Nebdara. The latter has the secaiid subcostal nervule of the forewing emitted before the 

 end of the discoidal cell.
