Subfamily Striplinopteryginae. 



Före wing with the lower discocellular always miich 

 longer than the middle discocellular; vein 10 absent or very 

 short and emitted from vein 9; vein 11 free from the cell. 

 Lower discocellular of hind wing much longer than the 

 middle discocellular, usually very oblique and angled near 

 its upper end. 



I consider this subfamily to be the more ancient and more 

 typical group of the familj- Striphnopterygidse. To this 

 group belong also the Indo-malayan genera Pandala, Dreata, 

 Tagora, Fseudojana, Ganisa, Äpha, Äpona, Eupterote, Sanga- 

 tissa and Nisoga, as defined by Hampson (Fauna Brit. India 

 1, p. 41 — 62), Sarmalia Walk. and the palfearctic genus Le- 

 monia HtJBN. 



Key to the Genera. 



1. Vein 6 of före wing free, not stalked with 7 + 8 + 9 ( + 10), 

 very rarely briefly stalked, but in that case the hind 

 tibicB with 3—4 spurs. 



A. Vein 6 and 7 of hind wing distant or from tbe same 

 point, not stalked. 



a. Lower discocellular of both wings nearly straight; 

 vein 6 of hind wing nearer to vein 7 than to 5. 



1. Striphnopteryx. 



fi. Lower discocellular of both wings distinctly 

 angled; vein 6 of hindwing nearer to 5 than to 

 7 or stalked with vein 5. 



* Upper and middle discocellulars of hind 

 wings short, but equally long. Palpi long, 

 reaching far beyond the fröns. 



2. Schistissa. 



** Upper discocellulars much longer than middle 

 discocellulars, which are very short or wan- 

 ting. Palpi short, not reaching beyond the 

 fröns.
