 IVhujs with areoltU di«liia-tly broadei- than liigii, subpetiolate and 

 about as broad as the length of the reciirrent iiervure; sligina 

 pale brunneous, witli its base broadly, and apex very narrowly, 

 clear hyaline ; basal nerviire conliniious through the median ; 

 radius regularly curved throughout ; ner\ellus suboblique, straight 

 and not inlercvptcd.

SlKiciM : Darjiling, ix. 08 (E. Jinnufli). 



Type in the Indian Museum. 



The peculiar clarity ol the stigma will at once distinguish this- 

 species. 



Described from a single female; liut Stel>liing has more recently 

 bred a probably conspecitic. but badly broken, individual from 

 an oak-feeding Lasiocauipid moth at Drobun in the United 

 Provinces. 



Genus EDRISA. Ctt>n. 

 Edrisa, Cameron, Tijds. Ent. l'.)07, p. 111. 



Genotype, E. plTtcornh, Cam. 



Head with the clypeus not discrete, ocelli not approximating 

 the eyes, temples broad and obliquely constricted, occiput rounded 

 inwardly. Antennje slendei- and elongate, shortly and densely 

 pilose. Thorax ^\itl^ no notauli, and sternauli extending to centre 

 of inesosternum ; metanotum regularly areated, with the petiolar 

 area somewhat elongate-triangular and carijiately connected with 

 the elongate-cordate areola ; spiracles short-oval, al)Out twice as- 

 long as broad. tScutellum circularly convex. Abdon)en glabrous 

 and nitielulous ; postpetiole subelongate and gradually widened 

 throughout, \\\\\\ the spiracles shortly but distinctly beyond the- 

 centre of the excarinate basal segment; terebra short and broad. 

 Legs with the tibiie spinose, and tarsal claws small and simjile. 

 Areolet large and irregularly pentagonal, rhomboidal and distinctly 

 narrowed in front, emitting the recurrent nervure at the apex of 

 its basal third; basal uervure subcontinuous through the median ; 

 stigma gradually broadening towards the radial nervure, which is 

 emittfd near its apex: nervellus entire: radial cell elongate,, 

 narrow, extending to near apex of \\ iug.

Its author says that this genus may be known from 2lesoc7iori(Sy 

 Grav., by the longer and narrowed radial cell and stigma, by the 

 com])letely areated metanotum, with its subelongate and not 

 circular spiracles. The lirst of these charactei's is hardly generic, 

 the second is entirely shared with J\li;sochoi-"s, iind Holmgren says- 

 the spiracles are sometimes subo^ate in the latter; I have not 

 seen this genus and much doubt its distinction from JEaocJioras 

 as restricted by Thomson, since the shape of the areolet seems- 

 the oidy distinctive point.
