Anterior wings subtriangular, the costal margin arched from base and convex, the apical angle more 

 or less truncated ; the outer margin sinuated, concave beneath apex, and convex towards posterior angle ; 

 the inner margin more or less concave. First and second subcostal nervules emitted somewhat close 

 together near end of cell ; third emitted beyond cell, and extending to apex ; fourth and fifth bifurcating at 

 about one-third from apex. Upper disco-cellular nervule short and outwardly angled ; lower disco-cellular 



f This geuus has been hitherto mostly known under the name of Messaras, Doubl.. but has been recently shown by 

 Mr. Scudder to be a sjTionym of Cujiha, Billb. (Proc. Am. Acad. .\rts & Sci. vol. x. p. 149. 1875). 



; The name of this genus exists in commemoration of that of Carl Ludwig Doleschall, a Hungarian entomologist, Who 

 for a short time was numbered amongst tlie few workers in the Malayan Archipelago. Best known as a Uipterist, he died of 

 consumption at Amboiua at the age of thu-ty-two. His former friend and pupil, Kudolf Felder, whose name is attached 

 to many of the Khopalocera described in this work, and who founded the genus Doleschaliia, also died at the early age 

 of twenty-nine.
