PERIDEEPANA.— PEOBLEPSIS. 43 



PERIDREPANA, gLMi. iiov. 



Allied to Drepunu aud Au.:ala ; tlic primaries less faleated tliuii iu Drcpana ; tlicdiscoidal 

 cell of the secoudaries a little more elongated ; the anteunac of the male broadly plumose to 

 the tips, as in the gcuus Nyssia amongst the Geovielritas. 



Peridrepana hyalina. (Plate CXXV. fig. 1.) 

 Drepana hyuliiia, Moore, Proc. Zuol. Soc. 1888, p. 401. 



Semitransparent white : the primaries crossed at basal third aud again just beyond the 

 middle by two parallel undulated grey lines, the outermost of these lines is dotted with little 

 blackish dashes upon the veins from the subcostal to the median vein, and thence to the 

 inner margin it is widened, the third line in the male is inten-upted beyond the cell; a fifth 

 black-dotted subiuargiual liue is indicated ; two black dots placed obliquely at the end of 

 the cell, and a more or less complete marginal series at the end of the nervures ; costal margin 

 ochreous : secondaries crossed from the middle to the abdominal margin by four ill-defined 

 undulated grey lines, the outermost one dotted with blackish ; a more or less defined slender 

 grey marginal line ; two blackish dots placed obliquely at the end of the cell : antenn;e pale 

 creamy yellowish, with grey ciliation. Face, legs, and underside of costal margin of primaries 

 pale ocliraceous ; veins slightly ochraceous, markings below obsolete. Expanse of wings 

 40-41 millim. 



Kiilii, on trunks of trees in March. 



The Comibana feni'straria of Moore, which seems to be the spccularh of the same author, 

 to judge by our examples, is a Drepanulid, closely allied to Auzata ; one example was in 

 Mr. Hocking's collection. The genus differs from Auzata chicHy in the long and acutely 

 angulatcd upper discocellular veinlet in the primaries, the upper radial being emitted from 

 the angle, also in the much greater distance between the emission of the subcostal branches 

 of the secondaries and the consequent prominence of the anterior extremity of the discoidal 

 cell. This genus may be called Macrauzuta. 



PROBLEPSIS, Hubn. 

 Problepsis vulgaris, sp. n. (Plate CXXV. fig. 2.) 



The commonest species in the genus: snow-white, with markings somewhat as in 

 P. deliaria, but the central ocelloid patches darker, more black-spotted, more brilliantly 

 spangled with silver, a little more elongated, that of the secoudaries frequently as distinct as 

 those of the iirimaries; antenure paler than in the Ceyloncse species. Expanse of wings 

 33-34 millim.
