78 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
Lagva. — Slender, uniformly cylindrical, head strongly bifid. the lobes developed into erect 
horns; a slight conical prominence on eighth abdominal segment (Moore, Lef. Ceyl. Vol. 3, p. 425, 
(STOAPNIANIS)E 
Pura. — Rather narrow, thorax very oblique, abdomen minutely dark-speckled, spiracles pink 
(Moore, loc. cit.). 
Type of genus : Aforandría specularia (Guenée) — Geometra specularia, Guenée (18094). 
Geographical distribution of species. — lndo-Malavan.

50. GENUS RHODOCHLORA, WARREN 
Rhodochlora, Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. 1r, p. 455 (1894). 
Characters. — l'ace somewhat prominent, smooth-scaled. Palpus long or longish, second 
joint rough-scaled, third joint elongate (at least in Q), smoother scaled. l'ongue developed. Antenna 
moderate, in cf bipectinate to near apex with moderate branches, apical extremity merely ciliated ; 
* 
in Q lamellate. Pectus and femora hairy. Hindtibia in C not dilated, all spurs usually present, but 
unequal. Tarsi moderately spinulose. Abdomen not crested, Winzs ample. Frenulum developed. 
Forewing with costa arched, apex moderately acute, termen nearly straight, somewhat oblique, tornus 
pronounced, cell less than one-half, DC incurved, oblique posteriorlv, SC! free or anastomosing 
with C, SC? normal, R! stalked with SC?», M! separate; hindwing with a subhyaline patch near base, 
apex roundly squared, termen rather straight to near R?, there roundly prominent, thence again nearly 
straight to tornus, which is pronounced, cell short, SC? stalked, R? characteristic, M! separate. 
Early stages unknown. 
Differs from Aforandria in the absence of the frontal tuft, etc. The species are mostly very closely 
related inter se, and Mr. Druce, who possesses a magnificent series, considers most of them forms of 
one very variable species, more or less connected by intermediates. This will probably prove correct, 
in some cases at least; on the other hand, we have noted a few specimens as having apparently terminal 
spurs only on the hindtibia, so that there is still need for further study.
