and Philipj)ines. — Larva slender, brown, with dark spots and a row of black lateral spots. A liump on the 

 thoracieal segments and on segments 2 and 5 of the abdomen, the horn on 11 long and slender. Pujia in a 

 very loose, pale, oval cocoon with a silky gloss.

Antennae pectinate to beyond the middle, serrate towards the apex. Palpi very small, inconspicuous. 

 Forewing elongate-triangular, Math pointed and rather produced apex, distal margin only slightly curved, not 

 sinuate, forming a distinct angle with the nearly straight inner margin. Hindwing broad, apical and anal angles 

 distinct, distal and inner margins straight. In the forewing vein 4 from the lower angle of the cell, 3 close be- 

 fore it, 5 from the middle angle of the discocellular vein, 6 from the upper angle of the cell, 7, 8, 9 and 10 (pre- 

 sumably!) stalked. In the hindwing vein 6 and the stalk of 7 and 8 (according to Staudinger) from the an- 

 terior angle of the cell. Middle and hind tibiae with short end-spurs. A very peculiar genus whose position 

 among the true Bomhycidae is somewhat doubtful, the scheme of markings also not well agreeing with the present 

 family. The genus requires careful re-examination. As yet only one Central Asiatic species known. 



hifiircu. D. bifurca Stgr. (30 Ij). Ground-colour brownish to violet-grey, both wings having a black discal spot 



edged Mith white and a postmedian dark brown transverse band; this is bounded on the outside by a wlute 

 transverse band forked in the costal half, its outer and more distinct branch running into the apex of the wing. 

 Apex and distal marginal area occupied by an extended dark brown marginal spot reaching on the forewing 

 to vein 3, in the hindwing occupying the whole marginal area. Forewing also with a dark brown subbasal 

 band broken in its costal half. Tibet.
