niphona. The Sarawak form does not appear to have received 

 any separate name. Before me in the Joicey collection from 

 Japan, India, South West Sumatra and Sarawak.

Aginua simuiata Moore, Leji. Atk., j). 195, 1882, Central India. 



Mt. Poi, 5000 feet— 1 9 . 



In the Joicey collection from Ceylon only, but is very close 

 to caenusalis Wlkr. (Queensland), of which it may be only a 

 race ; in which case the collective species has evidently a wide 

 distribution. In his "Moths of India," Sir G. Hampson 

 erroneously sinks both these species to robustalis Guen. 



98. SiMPLICIA X.ANTHOMA sp. n. 



cT, 37 mm. 



Nearly agrees in structure with S. turpatalis, {Bocana 

 turpatalis Wlkr., Spec. Lep. Ins., xvi, p. 174, 1858, Ceylon,) 

 sunk by Hampson (erroneously?) in his "Moths of India" 

 (vol. iii, p. 86) to robustalis Guen., but the thickening on 

 (f antenna is a trifle larger, the third segment of palpus is 

 more densely covered with scales and the androconial hair 

 on fore wing is confined to the costal half of proximal area, 

 narrowing to a point at antemedial line ; this hair is absent 

 from the base of hind wing. The ante and postmedial lines 

 and discal spot on fore wing are rather better defined than 

 in turpatalis; the pale subterminal is slightly broader, not 

 waved behind costa. Hind wing rather more smoky than in 

 turpatalis. Underside darker than in turpatalis, the hind 

 wing with the postmedial line broadly diffused and scarely 

 waved.

94. SiMPLICIA BREVICOSTA Sp. n. 



cT, 9, 48-53 mm. 



Antennal shaft in cf nearly simple (weakly lamellate 

 beneath), with somewhat fasciculate cilia nearly twice 

 diameter of shaft. The sheath on fore leg covering practically 

 the whole of segment 1 of tarsus, which is itself clothed 

 with long hair (apparently somewhat dilated). Fore vnng 

 rather broad for a Simplicia species, the cf costa slightly 

 swollen at base and just before middle of wing ; costa
