of abdomen wliitish, hind margin of thorax indicated by a dark brown transverse band. Abdomen brown. 

 Ground-colour of forewing reddish brown, but numerous white hair-scales lend it a grey tinge; a 

 blackish discal spot at the a])ex of the cell; a subbasal, a discal and a submarginal transverse line, dark brown 

 and sharply broken in the costal half, the outer one uniting with a black streak coming from the apex. Between 

 the streak and the distal margin an extended dark brown spot reaching the apex of vein 2. Hindwing brownish 

 yellow with dark brown continuous postdiscal line, inner marginal area browni slightly tinged Math grey, a dark 

 brown spot in the middle of the inner margin. Underside of body and wings bright golden brown, both wings 

 with a sharp discal spot ajul sharp sulmiarginal line. Widely cUstributed in the Himalayas, and extending in 

 the Nortli-West into the Palearctic Region. 



6. Genus: lloiKlofia Moore. 



Antemiae with moderately long pectinations; palpi small, inconspicuous. Wings broad, apical half 

 of costal margin strongly curved, distal margin strongly concave below the pointed apex, angulate at vein 4, 

 then straight, chstinctly separated from the hkewise straight inner margin. Hindwing with straight costal 

 and inner margins, distal margin moderately curved, slightly dentate at the veins, somewhat more so at vein 4, 

 concave between veins 2 and 1 b. In the forewing veins 3 and 4 from the lower angle of the cell, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 

 and 11 on a common stalk from the upper angle; in the hindwing veins 3 and 4 from the hind angle, 6 and 

 7 stalked. Two of the three brown species of the genus are East- Asiatic, the third occurring in Southern Asia. 



R. tnenciana Moore (30 b). Quite uniformly vivid deep yellow, the edges of the wings with a more mcndana. 

 brownish tinge. Forewing with sharp black discal streak, and two likewise distinct narrow lunate lines tra- 

 versing the whole wing, a subbasal and a postcUscal one. Hindwing with narrow discal streak and two black 

 innermarginal spots, the distal margin blackened at the anal angle ; this is not the case in ab. lurida Fixs. Central lurida. 

 and Eastern China, Corea. 



R. lineata Leech. Yellowish white, markings of forewing resembling those of tnenciana. At the apex Kneaia. 

 an extended black spot bounded by the postdiscal hne on the inner side and reaching to below vein 4 along 

 the distal margin. Hindwing with black postdiscal lunate line beginning at the outer black innermarginal 

 spot and ending before the costal margin. Nearer the base a second innermarginal spot. West China. 



7. Genus : Ociiiera Walk. 



Rather small species with broad entire wings whose margins are only slightly dentate at the veins. 

 Palpi short, being mere inconspicuous remnants. Forewing triangular, with broadly rounded or slightly pointed 

 apex. Costal margin quite straight to near the apex, distal margin only slightly convex, inner margin straight. 

 In the forewing vein 5 from the slightly angulate middle of the discocellular vein. 6 from the upper angle of 

 the cell, 7, 8, 9 and 10 stalked; in the hindwing 3 and 4 from a point or on a short stalk from the lower angle 

 of the cell, 5 from the centre of the strongly oblique discocellular vein, 6 and 7 stalked, 8 free from the base. 



0. signifera Walk. (= lactea Hutt.) (35 f). White, wings thinly scaled, and strongly irridescent, vnth. signifcra. 

 black, often strongly reduced, markings. Both wings with dark postmedian lunate hne, forewing with a few 

 black costal marginal spots and one or two discal ones, hindwing with three very constant inner marginal spots, 

 as well as beneath with a black discal spot. Southern Asia, from the North- West Himalayas to the Sunda 

 Islands. — Larva brown with a hump on segments 2, 4 and 7 as well as a horn on 10. 



0. apicalis Walk. (= signata Walk., moorei Hutt.. lida Moore) (30 f). Similar to signifera, with wliite apicalis. 

 ground-colour, but suffused with greyish brown, the postmedian lunate Unes more distinct, there being also 

 diffuse submarginal spots of the same colour. Costal marginal and discal spots of forewing usually indistinct, 

 but the inner marginal spots of liindwing sharp. From China throughout Southern Asia to Java. — Larva 

 similar to that of signifera, but with short hair, on segment 2 a short tuft of hair, before it a black spot. Ac- 

 cording to A. Seitz the moth when at rest affects a very curious position; viz., it rests on the surface of a leaf 

 with the head leaning on the leaf and the abdomen curved upwards; the wings are at the same time spread 

 out laterally so that the insect looks more like a small white feather than a moth. 



0. varians Walk. (= velata Walk.) (30 f). Considerably smaller than the two preceding species, varying varians. 

 from light brown, sometimes with a gre_\ish or whitish tinge, to rather dark reddish brown. Forewing with two 

 antemedian and two postmedian minutely dentate parallel lunulate lines, beside the dark discal spot; a dark 

 spot at the anterior half of the distal margin. Hindwing unicolorous with three dark brown innermarginal 

 spots edged with white. Distributed from China and Formosa throughout Southern Asia to the Sunda Islands
