TAalassodes hypoleucea, Hampson, Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. Vol. 14. 
p. 656, t. C, f. 34 (1903). 
NorE. — The correct subfamily position of various species wrongly described by Walker, 
Moore and Butler as Geomelra may be found from Hampson's Moths of India or Swinhoe's Lef. Het. 
Oxford Mus. —- G. subvectaria, diffssa and. factaria, Walker (Vol. 22. p. 509, 510, 511) belong to A'umta, 
Guenée; G. rufifrontaríia, Hampson, 7ouru. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. Vol. 14, p. 655, is an Acidaliid, 
sinking to Sferrha (?) validaria, Walker (Vol. 35, p. 1607); P. G. arnea, Cramer, Paf. Exot. Vol. 1, p. 59, 
t. 36, f. G — G. (?) aruea, Walker (Vol. 26, p. 1554) belongs to the Pyxalidae, genus Acropteryx.

Grammicheila. Staudinger, Iris, Vol. ro, p. 3 (1897). 
Characters. — lace rounded, smooth-scaled. Palpus in both sexes quite moderate, second 
joint strongly rough-scaled, third joint small, slightly longer in Q than in cf. Tongue present. Antenna 
less than one-half, in cf bipectinate with short branches, apex almost simple, in 9 lamellate, minutely 
ciliated. Pectus and femora strongly hairy. Hindtibia in c dilated with hair-pencil, in both sexes with 
all spurs. Abdomen not crested. Wings smooth-scaled, iridescent. l'renulum fully developed. lF'orewing 
with costa arched, apex not acute, termen oblique, waved, convex, cell not quite one-half, DC gently 
incurved, SC! free, SC? normal, R! approximated, connate or short-stalked with SC?5, M! approximated 
to R?; hindwing with apex rounded, termen moderately rounded, gently subcrenulate, tornus moderately 
pronounced, cell short. DC incurved, strongly oblique posteriorly, C approximated to cell to nearly 
one-half, moderately rapidly diverging, SC* just separate, R? from considerably above middle of DC, 
M! separate. genitalia : uncus with a central rod, at either side of which is an arm of the same length, 
gnathos with pointed tip, harpe with slight projections on the surface, juxta (?) a process arising. from 
the base of the vinculum, on the eighth sternite is a double lobed chitinous projection. 
Lanva. — Light green, deceptively like a young, half-expanded leaf of the foodplant, 7welaus 
mandschurica, Maxim.; head produced into two points, body contracted, resting rigidly attached by the 
prolegs to a twig (Graeser, Berl. Ent. Zeitschr. Vol. 32, p. 392). Suggestive of that of ZTripparchus (5tau- 
dinger, Iris, Vol. 10, p. 3). 
Pura. — Undescribed; in a loose cocoon among dry leaves (Graeser, loc. cit.). 
The genus is almost certainly related to /7ifparchus, in spite of the different scaling and pattern. 
Its true position is quite certainly in the present subfamily, and we are entirely unable to say on what 
grounds Hampson (Fauna Ind. Moths, Vol. 3, p. 322) placed it among his OrfAostixinae. It may have some 
affinity with Osteosema, but this is less definite.
