24 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
with all spurs. Tarsi moderately spinulose. Abdomen crested. Frenulum fully developed. Forewing 
rather narrow, costa rather straight, gently arched distally, apex moderate, termen rather straight, 
oblique posteriorly, tornus moderate, cell one-half, SC! free, or anastomosing with C, or with C 
and SC?, SC? from cell, R! about connate with SC?5, R? from above middle of cell, M! separate; hindwing 
rather narrow, angles somewhat rounded, termen rounded, cell one-half, DC? oblique posteriorly, 
C closely appressed to cell to near one half, then gradually diverging, SC? short-stalked with R!, R* from 
very near R!, M! separate.

5. GENUS ARCHAZEOBALBIS, NOV. GEN., PROUT 
Archsaeobalbis, nov. gen. Prout. 
Characters. — Build robust. Face usually somewhat protuberant, normally scaled, or slightly 
roughened. Palpus moderate, second joint densely scaled above and beneath, third joint moderate or 
rather short, smooth-scaled. Tongue developed. Antenna long or moderate, in both sexes virtually 
simple. Metathorax not crested. Pectus densely hairy. Femora long-haired. Hindtibia in both sexes 
with all spurs developed, in cf usually dilated, with strong hair-pencil, sometimes also with a short 
terminal process, Abdomen with small paired dorsal crests. Frenulum fully developed. Forewing with 
costa somewhat arched or nearly straight, apex moderate, termen oblique, subcrenulate, cell about 
one-half, DC incurved, SC! connected at point or by short bar with C (rarely anastomosing), frequently 
anastomosing shortly also with SC?, SC? from cell, R! connate or separate, M! well separate; hindwing 
with costa short, apex rounded, termen long, crenulate, inner margin long, cell less than one-half, 
DC? incurved, C approximated rather variably to cell (usually rather shortly, never to beyond one-half), 
very rapidly diverging, SC?separate, R? characteristic, sometimes rather extreme, M! separate 
(Pl. t, Fig. 9). c* genitalia with uncus pointed (in subofalina bifid), at either side a spatulate leaflike 
arm, gnathos pointed, dentate on the edge, harpe rounded, clasper a short thorn, juxta a horny process 
behind the penis; penis pestillate, eedoeagus with long extended arm, having at the orifice a hatchet-like 
projection. 
Early stages unknown 3). 
Type of the genus : AcAhaeobalbis viridaria (Moore) — Hyfpochroma viridaria, Moore. 
1) If this is the true azgyrasgis, Lower, a specimen was bred in February from a rough silky cocoon formed beneath the bark of Zucacyefrs 
rostraía (Lower). 
2) Meyrick's type of ZyfocAtroma paratorna, though superficially similar to the present species, is structurally distinct, not only in having SC? of 
forewing strongly stalked with SC?5, but in being almost without the dorsal crests and in having shorter antennal pectinations; SC! anastomoses both 
with C and with SC?, The species does not fall into any known genus, but as we have only seen the one specimen, and have had no opportunity to study 
it side by side with Nericfopsis or with the gen«ra of Group II, we abstain from creating a. genus for it. 
3) Mr. H. L. Andrewes has bred /4rcAtaeoba/bis subiepens from larva in the Nilgiris, but we have no description of it.
