96 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
67. GENUS ARGYROCOSMA, WARREN 
Argyrocosma. Turner, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol. 35, p. 609 (1910). 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus moderate to long, second joint reaching beyond frons, 
moderately rough-scaled, third joint smooth, in cj rather short, in 9 long, slender, slightly spatulate. 
''ongue developed. Antenna in c bipectinate to about three-fourths, with long branches, in 9 minutely 
ciliated. Pectus slightly hairy. Hindtibia in cf somewhat dilated, with hair-pencil and terminal process, 
in both sexes with all spurs. Abdomen not crested. Frenulum in cj present, slender, in Q vestigial. 
Forewing with costa gently arched, apex moderately acute, termen curved, oblique, cell about one-half, 
DC? curved, becoming oblique, DC? arising distally, SC! stalked with SC?*», well away from C, 
SC? arising after SC^, R! well separate, M! well separated at origin from R?; hindwing with apex 
moderate, termen rounded, tornus pronounced, cell about one-half, DC* curved, becoming almost 
horizontal, DC? arising considerably distally, sometimes very oblique, C rather shortly approximated 
to cell near base, SC? stalked, R? from a little above middle of cell, sometimes almost central r), 
M* widely separated at origin from R? (Pl. 2, Fig. 1 2). 
LaRva.— Undescribed. A drawing by F. Moore, in coll. Brit. Mus., made from a Javan specimen 
of that of PArixopa, shows a rugose brown larva, unmistakably akin of that of Comibaena, clothed with 
large pieces of leaf. 
PupA. — Of moderate build, tapering somewhat towards head; brown, surface finely shagreened, 
spiracular spots raised, dark; anal extremity as in the allies, a strong projection above the anus bearing 
the armature of spines, which is nearly as that of Hifparchus, the strong central pair curved and crossed, 
the others (probably six, but one or two broken off) more slender, ending in spiral curves (from empty 
pupa-case of PArixopa in coll. Brit. Mus.). 
'The genus is certainly related to the following (especially to subAyalima), but very distinct in its 
more extreme venation, palpus less rough-scaled above. 
Type of the genus : 4Argyrocosma argosticla, l'urner (1910). 
Geographical distribution of species. — Java to N. Vustialia.

1) I he obvious explanation of this is that on account of the distad migration of DC? a portion of vein which would have been reckoned to R? has 
to be regarded as belonging to DC*; we have a specimen in which DC? is more than usually oblique, its base more proximad and the point of origin of R* 
consequently more normal.
