156. GENUs TELOTHETA, WARREN 
Telotheta. Warren, Novit. Zool. Vol. 7, p. 140 (1900). 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus in gf rather short, in Q much elongate, second joint 
moderately rough-scaled, third joint in cf small, in 9 very long. Tongue present. Antenna not more 
than one-half, in cg bipectinate to two-thirds, apex nearly simple; in Q serrate, pubescent. Pectus 
slightly hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia in c not dilated. in both sexes with terminal spurs only. 
Abdomen not crested, Frenulum in 9 slender, from before basal expansion, in Q wanting. Forewing 
with costa nearly straight, apex pronounced, termen curved, oblique, cell short, DC slightly incurved, 
SC! stalked with SC*? (arising before R!), R! rather long-stalked. M! stalked. Hindwing with apex 
rounded, termen rounded. feebly bent at R9, tornus squared, cell short, DC very straight, C closely 
approximated to cell to beyond one-half, then divergent, SC? long-stalked, R? from slightly above 
middle of DC, M! stalked. 
Early stages unknown.

157. GENUS CALLISTEUMA, NOV. GEN., PROUT 
Callisteuma, nov. gen. Prout, 
Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus in both sexes short, very slender, terminal joint small. 
TTongue small, slender. Antenna short, in both sexes bipectinate, the branches moderately long in c, 
shorter in Q; apical one-third merely serrate. Pectus slightly hairy. Femora glabrous. Hindtibia 
in gf not dilated, in both sexes with terminal spurs only. Abdomen not crested. Frenulum in c slender, 
not long, from before marked basal expansion; in Q quite rudimentary, evidently non-functional. 
Forewing with costa scarcely arched, apex rather acute, termen smooth, slightly curved, cell about 
one-half, DC incurved, SC! from cell, anastomosing with C, SC? normal, well free from SC!, R! connate 
or separate, M! separate; hindwing with apex and termen rounded, tornus rather pronounced, cell 
about one-half, DC not very oblique, C anastomosing to beyond one-half of cell, SC? stalked, R? nor- 
1) G' unknown; 9 antenna not pectinate; SC?, as well as SC!, running into C. 
2) Hierochthonia (?) alexandraria (Püngeler, MS.), nov. sp. — 9. Similar to Zezitaria, Christoph, but differing as follows : antenna 
very shortly pectinate: forewing somewhat narrower, with costa straighter; colour more bluish green, more uniform ; fringe white; forewing with 
SC! anastomosing at a point with C; hindwing with C merely a22roximafed to cell (to considerably beyond one-half), not anastomosing; abdomen 
perhaps less robust, Alexander Mountains, Central Asia. Type in coll, Püngeler. On account of vein C of the hindwing, can hardly be allowed to remain 
on this genus. R! of forewing 1s well stalked.
