HABR08YNE. By W. Wakeen. 



separated by paler spaces; subterrainal line whitish, wavy, preceded and followed by deep brown dentate shades; 

 a short blac'k dash from apex ; terminal line brown, lunulate ; fringe pale chequered with brown ; hindwing dark 

 olive browii, with deeper curved outer line and broad terminal border; fringe white; luiderside dull grey 

 with dark outer band and broad terminal border on both wings; apex of forewing with a pale blotch; head 

 dark brown; tegulae black tipped with white; patagia olive grey, darker at base; thorax and abdomen grey; 

 palpi white, the second segment marked above with brown. Expanse of wings: 50 mm. Distinguished from 

 albicosfa Moore by its smaller size, more unifonn bro\\Ti coloration, and rosj' tinge along costal streak, as well 

 as by the different stigmata. Described from 1 (J and 2 $$ from Japan, in the Tring Museum. 



trifolhim. S. trifolium Alph. This species is said to resemble ocularis L. in markings generally, but the costal 



area is whitish tinged with rosy, as in albicosfata Brem., to which it is also allied by its narrower wings; charac- 

 terised in particular by a large greenish trefoil-shaped stigma in cell, touching both imier and outer lines. De- 

 scribed from a single $ from Sidemi, bred from an unknoAm larva. 



mirabilis. S. mirabilis Bflr. (55 m). Forewing pale olive bro'WTi below median vein and obliquely upwards to apex; 



cell and costal area chalk white ; the costal edge at middle dark bro\\ai ; a black spot followed by a white one 

 close to base on sxibmedian fold; inner line double, oblique from costa to median vein at middle of cell, black 

 brown filled in with orange, oblique inwards below middle and indistinct; outer line similar, oblique inwards 

 from costa before apex to end of cell, where it is deflexed, inwardly curved below middle and hardly marked; 

 siibterminal line Mavy. grey, obliqvie and straight from apex to anal angle, outwai'dly foUoAved by grey spots; 

 a fine lunulate dark terminal line; fringe grey; faint traces of white stigmata, shown by dark spots at their 

 lower ends; hindwing whitish, grey-tinged along termen, more broadly towards apex; fringe white. Found 

 in Japan only, Yokohama and Gifu. 



conimifera. S. conimifera spec. nov. (= albicosta Leech (part) nee Moore). Forewing with the lower half uniformly 



deeper bro\\'n than in S. albicosta Moore; the cell and subcostal area rosy, toM'ards costa white tinged with yello- 

 wish green; stigmata redbroAvn with dark outlines, the orbicular containing 4, and the reniform .3, sulphur 

 coloiired spots, sejiarated by a long hornshajied niark curving in below the orbicular, the reniform followed 

 by some irregular sulphm'-tinted creimlations ; the denticulations of the dark line more acute, above middle 

 alternating with white ; hindwing darker, olive fuscous, the terminal border deeper ; underside dull whitish tinged 

 with grey; the veins dark; a broad fuscous terminal border in forewing, narrower and subterminal in hind- 

 wing ; the termen and fringe whitish ; an angulated praeapical mark and the costa itself before apex white ; 

 head deep brown; tegulae black brown with their tips white; patagia brown with their base narrowly white; 

 thorax and abdomen fuscous brown ; palpi above dark broMni, below Avhite finely speckled with browii. Expanse 

 of wings: 40 — 52 mm. 1 ^ (type), 2 $$ frona Sabathu, in the Punjab, N. India; the specimen mentioned 

 by Leech from Wa-ssu-kow, W. China (Tr. E. S. 1900, p. 15) and referred by him to albicosta Moore, belongs 

 to this form, as those from Japan to consimilis; both species have narrower forewings than albicosta Moore. 



(dbicosiaia. S. albicostata i?re?w. (55 m). Forewing dull ohve brownish from inner margin to median vein and beyond 



cell to vein (i; in cell and above mixed with whitish, piu-e white along middle of costa; a double broken 

 oblique subbasal line; inner line oblique, black, outbent on both folds, inangled on the median vein and vein 1, 

 preceded by an olive broAvn shade, which above median is narrowed and blackish ; outer line double, the inner 

 arm darker, angled outwards on vein 4, indented on both folds; subterminal line waved, pale gi'ey, preceded 

 by a dark band which is internally bordered by a lunulate dentate pale line, the teeth pointing inwards and 

 marked with black white-tipped dashes on the veins; a strong obliqixe black streak from apex; an interrupted 

 blackish terminal line; fringe grey; hindwing pale dirty grey, with darker terminal border and slight curved 

 outer shade ; extreme termen and fringe paler. Described from E. Siberia ; also recorded from Corea and W. China, 

 and from Japan. 



3. Genus: Habros.yiie Hbn. 



Tongue present; frons smooth; palpi obliquely porrect. the second segment thickly scaled, the third 

 short and smooth; antennae of ^ simple, somewhat flattened; femora and tibiae hairy in (J; the abdomen 

 with strong lateral tufts of hair; forewing triangular, the inner margin sinuous, with a small tuft of scales at 

 anal angle; veins 3 and 4 from lower angle, 5 from near above 4; 6 stalked with 7. 8; 9, 10 stalked,

 spun cocoon among leaves. Type H. derasa L. 



derasa. H. derasa L. (49 d). Forewing with basal area olive green, the rest pearl grey tinged with ferruginous 



yellow; a diffuse whitish patch along middle of costa, marked with 3 or 4 obliqiie dull ferruginous lines; 

 a short oblique streak of shining white raised scales across sxibmedian fold near base; projecting above median 

 vein, which is marked with white, to meet the oblique inner line which is white from '/* of costa to -/a of inner
