CLADUBOIDES. 505 



Described from two females taken by me at Darjiling, 26 aud 

 2y. V. 10. 



Type (and second specimen) in the Indian Museum. 



Whilst exhibiting all the generic characters, this species is 

 easily distinguished fi'om the previous one by the light but very 

 distinct infuscation running across the middle of the wing. 



Genus CLADUROIDES, Brim. 



Claduroides, Brunetti, Rec. Ind. Mas. vi, p. 288 (1911). 



Genotype, Claduroides fascipennis, Brun. ; by original design- 

 ation. 



Two submarginal cells, five posterior cells, discal cell open. 



Antennae practically normal in the scape, which consists of the 

 usual elongate cylindrical 1st joint and a shorter broader 2nd joint, 

 but the llagellum shows a distinct peculiarity in possessing the 

 unusual number of thirteen joints, oval and v\ell separated, with 

 minute pubescence and with verticels. Face above antennae 

 prominent as in Paradadura. Thorax ecjually gibbous as in that 

 genus. In venation the present genus is also distinctly character- 

 istic. The 1st longitudinal vein is shorter than in Chtdura, the 

 marginal cross-vein being at its exact tip, where it turns up into 

 the costa somewhat abruptly. The subcostal cross-vein is at 

 one-third the length of the wing, as in Paradadura, situated at a 

 great distance from the tip of the auxiliary vein, and a considerable 

 distance before the origin of the 2nd vein, which takes place in 

 the middle of the wing. Discal cell open, pointed at proximal 

 end, coalescent with 3rd posterior cell ; anterior branch of 4th 

 vein forked acutely and widely near its tip, the 2nd posterior cell 

 being triangular, not elongate bell-shaped ; posterior cross-vein 

 situated just beyond the proximal end of the 2nd posterior cell ; 

 the posterior branch of the 4th vein similarly forked as in Cladura ; 

 the 7th longitudinal vein normal, as in Cladura. 



Eanr/e. India. 



Only two species are Indian, and they may be distinguished 

 thus : — 



Wings with several small infuscations fascipennis, Brim. 



Wings clear except for an indistinct stigma . . sordicla, Brun.
