1. V. luteilinea Walker. C. B. M. 471. 



Brown. Palpi at the base and tongue testaceous. Antennae 

 black. Abdomen on each side with a slight luteous stripe which 

 tapers from the base towards the tip. Fore wings ferruginous 

 above and luteous beneath for more than half the length from the 

 base, and with a reddish line along the costa. Hind wings luteous 

 with broad black borders which are of equal breadth from the tip 

 of the fore border to the tip of the inner border. Length of the 

 body 4 lines ; of the wings 11 lines.

Fam. YI. LITHOSIIDAE. 



In the hind wings the costal and subcostal veins have a 

 common origin in the posterior third of the wing. The sub- 

 costal is bifid beyond the origin of the discal, which is some- 

 times doubly angulated, giving rise to a disco-central branch 

 from the lower angle, and sometimes simple and curved. 

 Median vein 3-branched. In the fore wings the subcostal 

 vein is remote from the costa, and the marginal branches 

 rather erect. 



NUDARIA? Haw., Steph. 



Wings rather broad, semi-diaphanous, rounded. In the fore 

 wings the subcostal vein forms a large subcostal cell over the discal 

 vein, giving rise about the middle of the cell above to a marginal 

 nervule, and beneath to the subcosto-inferior and discal vein, the 

 latter having a disco-central nervule. At the apex of the cell 

 behind, the vein becomes trifid, dividing into a marginal, post- 

 apical and apical nervules, the latter with a nervulet from its 

 middle. Hind wings about equal to the body in length ; without 

 costal vein ; subcostal vein with a marginal nervule arising from 

 the disk near the discal vein, and becoming bifid exteriorly at a 

 point remote from the discal vein ; with a disco-central nervule. 

 Median 3-branched, with the posterior nervule somewhat interior 

 to the origin of the marginal nervule. 



Head free, rather small, smooth ; without ocelli. Face smooth, 

 rather narrow, clypeus prominent. Antennae setiform, moderately
