210 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 
'The absence, or point of origin, of SC?, as well as the coloration, suggests some doubts whether 
this genus truly belong to the Hemitheinae. |t might almost, like A45/asta, be referred to the QznocAro- 
minae. 
Type of the genus : Cacochloris wvidula (Swinhoe) — Stegania uvidula, Swinhoe. 
Geographical distribution of species. — India, Africa.

Characters. — Face smooth. Palpus in both sexes with second joint rather long, usually 
strong, strongly rough-scaled above and beneath, third joint moderate to long, partly concealed by 
projecting scales of second joint. Tongue short and slender. Antenna in Qf bipectinate to two-thirds, 
or further, with long branches, apically merely serrate; in Q usually subserrate. Pectus hairy. Femora 
somewhat hairy. Hindtibia in cf not dilated, but rough-scaled, sometimes even slightly hairy, sometimes 
with a small pencil of hairs from the femoro-tibial joint; in both sexes with all spurs. Abdomen not 
crested. Forewing with costa gently arched, apex moderate, termen oblique, curved posteriorly, cell 
about one-half, DC more or less curved, becoming rather oblique, SC! from cell, free or anastomosing 
with C, SC? normal, sometimes anastomosing with SC!, R! connate or approximated (in f/usiaria short- 
stalked), M! approximated or rarely connate (in fiusiaría well separated); hindwing with termen fully or 
moderately rounded, rarely a little subcrenulate, cell nearly one-half, DC usually little incurved, but 
becoming somewhat oblique posteriorly, C approximated to cell for some distance (at a point only 
in quantula), then moderately divergent, SC? connate or short.stalked, M! connate or approximated 
(well separate in j/usiaría) (Pl. 2, Fig. 17). C' genitalia : uncus bifid, with pointed socii, gnathos 
terminating in a point, harpes parallel plain, vinculum square, deeply emarginate at the base, penis a 
long fine needle (smaragdaria; Plusiaria agrees except that gnathos seems to be absent, vinculum rounded). 
Ecc. — A short broad oval, much flattened on either side, surface with fine hexagonal reticulation 
(IBusrows, Ent. eec: Vol. 12; p.-1535t: 75 £X). 
Lanva. — With surface very rough, shagreened, a pronounced lateral flange, special tubercles 
on abdominal segments 1-4 (above the flange), 5 (on the flange, ventral and posterior) and 8 (dorsal), 
bearing, in first instar, crescend-topped hairs; in later life the tubercles themselves become tall, cone- 
shaped, and covered with horny hooks. By means of these special organs, the larva clothes itself with 
fragments of the foodplant (Burrows, loc. cit. p. 154, 169, t. 7, f. 2-4). 
Pura, — Rugose, shagreened, spiny, spiracles very large and prominent, dorsal area of anal 
segment prolonged beyond anus, bearing a group of spines which terminate in spirally curved hooks 
(Burrows, loc. cit. p. 171). 
1) The name ZucAloris was unfortunately used by Billberg (umm. Zns. Maus. Bilib. p. 23, 1820) in the Coleoptera, but as it was entirely 
undescribed, and has been rightly ignored by Coleopterists, we have not thought it necessary to suppress the name here, Should it be judged desirable, 
however (on the ground that it is not always possible for workers on one Order of Insects to judge or to sift questions of validity in another Order), to adopt 
a rigid law against duplications, the present genus must be called Z/reidia (type, P/wsiaria, Lucas sel., Chenu's Excyc/. Vol. 2, p. 153).
