54. GENUS LOPHOMACHIA, NOV. GEN., PROUT 
Lophomachia, nov. gen. l'rout. 
Characters. — lace smooth. Palpus moderate, second joint rough-scaled above and beneath, 
third joint smooth, exposed, in both sexes moderate. Tongue present. Antenna in c with long, strong 
serrate teeth, bearing minute cilia, in Q almost simple. Pectus and femora densely hairy. Hindtibia 
in c dilated, with hair-pencil and shortish to moderate terminal process, in both sexes with all spurs. 
Metathorax and abdomen stronglv crested. Frenulum fully developed. lF'orewing with costa arched, 
apex moderate, termen more or less crenulate, bowed, oblique, cell less than one-half, DC incurved or 
inangled, SC! from near apex of cell (in. semzalba sometimes connate with SC?»), always well free, 
SC» from before (or exceptionally just after) 5C?, R! connate or closely approximated, M! connate or 
approximated; hindwing with costa short, apex rounded, termen very long, usually crenulate, always 
bent at R?, tornus pronounced, inner margin long, cell short, DC slightly curved, not very oblique, 
C approximated to cell till towards one-half, then rapidly diverging, SC? stalked, R? characteristic, 
M! stalked. 
LakRva. — Prothorax, metathorax and first abdominal segment with small subdorsal protube- 
rances, third and fourth abdominals with long, pointed protuberances, tenth abdominal with a point; 
on Loranthus (Moore, Lep. Ceyl. Vol. 3, p. 434). 
Pur. — Greenish, thickly covered with minute purple-brown speckles ( Moore, loc. cit.). 
Differs essentially from. C4loromachia in the dorsal crests. The difference 1n subcostal venation, 
though also not unimportant, is less constant.
