I have to thank the Hon. Walter Rothschild for the 

 loan of types from the Felder collection, and species 

 described by Mr. Warren in his collection ; Prof. Poulton, 

 F.R.S., for types from the Oxford University Museum ; 

 Mr. E. Meyrick, for the loan of Australasian types ; Mr. 

 J. H. Leech, for the loan of Japanese and Chinese types ; 

 and especially Mr. H. J. Elwes, for the gift to the British 

 Museum of the types of all the species from the Malayan 

 subreofion described by Mr. Meyrick ia our Transactions 

 for 1894. 



1 have also to thank Mr. W. T. Blanford, F.R.S., for 

 obtaining permission for me from the India Office to 

 reproduce 45 figures of moths lately published in the 

 fourth volume of the Moths of the Fauna of India series. 



Subfamily Epipaschiin.?':. 



Proboscis present ; palpi almost always upturned, and in male 

 often with the 2nd joint hollowed out to receive the brush-like 

 maxillary palpi which are sometimes bilobed ; antennae of male 

 usually with a more or less developed flagellate thickly scaled 

 process from basal joints extending backwards over the thorax. 

 Fore wing with tufts of raised scales below the cell and on dis- 

 cocellulars ; veins 7, 8, 9 stalked. Hind wing with the median 

 nervure not pectinate ; vein 8 usually free. 



The larvae of several species live in colonies in webs and form 

 social cocoons.
