Genus HYAEOTIS. 



Hi/iirotis, Moori'. Lep. Cevl. vol. i. \>. 17-1 (ISSli. 



This genus can be readily distiuguislu'd from tlie i-rc-eding— /'/„../,»,.,/„— l.y the position of the first 

 subcostal nervule of the anterior wings, which is ,niitted more nearly opposite the base of the lower thiiu 

 of the second median nervule. 



A single species (accordiug to pioseut knowledge), uiul nnv which is givi^n In Mr. .\[oore 

 as the type of the genus, is found in the ^[alay PeiiinsulM.

Wings above chocolate-brown : anterior wings with seven pale grt^yish semi-hyaline spots, situate 

 one in cell, three in oblic]ue series beneath cell divided l)y the two lower median norvules, and three small 

 and subapical in suberect series : posterior wings with the fringe greyisli-brown. Anterior win"s beneath 

 spotted as above, the outer half pakr and with a distinct darker suhmarginal fascia ; posterior win".s 

 beneath with the basal third chocolate-brown, the discal third more or less violaceous, and the outer thu-d 

 pale fuscous; the discal third contains some irregularly formed greyish-white spots, and the outer third 

 has an inner dark macular fascia. J>ody above chocolate-brown; body l)en<ath and legs paler brown.

It is not accurate to speak of any s[)ecies belonging to this family as being really rare 

 in the Malay Peninsula, the Hesperinhf having been so little worked, but certainly H. adraMus 

 is not common in collections belonging to the fauna, as one specimen in my own collection 

 and another in that of Dr. Staudinger are the only Malay examples I have seen. 



Genus COLADENIA. 



ColdJeniii, Moore, Lep. Ceyl. vol. i. p. 180 (18811. 



This genus differs from all those of the Enonntana here pi-cviously enumerated in having the 

 anterior wings short, and not twice as long as broad. The anterior wings have the upper disco-cellular 

 nervule a little shorter than the lower, the second median nervule has its base about twice as faV apart 

 from that of the lower as from that of the upper median nervule; the posterior wings have the subcostal 

 ner\ ules bifm-cating near end of cell, the tirst and second median nervules having an apparently common 

 origin near end of cell. Body robust and pilose; palpi laterally compressed; antenna' with a well-formed 

 apical club moderately hooked at tip : posterior tibiffi with two prominent spines.
