60 N0T0D0NTID.1:. 



white hairs or hair-like scales, which give the insect a grizzled appearance. Hind wing pale 

 brown. Underside pale reddish brown ; fore wing suffused with fuscous, except inner 

 maroin ; hind wing with a faint dark postmedial band. Abdomen reddish brown. 



This species at first sight looks like the ffemale of a Liparid allied to Dasychira, but an 

 examination of the antennae and venation places it in the Notodontidie. S. apicalis has 

 similar antennse in the female, but in shape of wing it is nearer S. fagi and alternus. 



Stauropus dentilinea. (Plate CXLI. fig. 10.) 



Expanse 1| inch. 



Female. Antennse simple. Fore wing brownish white, thickly irrorated with dark scales ; 

 a less thickly irrorated patch at lower end of cell ; a very obscure inwardly-oblique brown 

 submarginal band, with some dark spots on its outer edge in the interspaces from costa to 

 first median nervule ; some dark strigoe on costa near apex ; a conspicuous denticulate marginal 

 black band. Hind wing and underside uniform smoky purplish brown. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen grizzled, the last with some ochreous-brown hairs near base and white ones on anal 

 segment. 



Nearest to S. alternus, from which it differs in its smaller size, the presence of the 

 denticulate band, and absence of the pale waved postmedial and red-brown maculate sub- 

 marginal bands. 



Ichthywra undulata. (Plate CXLI. fig. 3.) 



Expanse 1 inch. 



Female. Fore wing pale cinereous brown, with darker patches near the apex, and from 

 below the end of the cell to the inner margin ; three transverse lines, one antemedial out- 

 wardly oblique, the other two waved, one halfway between the end of cell and outer margin, 

 and joining the antemedial line at inner margin, the other submarginal. Hind wing paler ; 

 inner and outer margins slightly darker. Underside paler ; hind wing with a lunule at end 

 of cell and postmedial band. Antennae, head, thorax, and abdomen dusky brown. 



Nearest to /. cupreata, Butler ; the bands very differently placed and shaped. 



Ichthyura submarginalis. (Plate CXLI. fig. 5.) 



Expanse 1 inch. 



Female. Fore wing smoky brown, irrorated with darker scales ; some small indistinct 

 dark marks towards the end of the cell ; a diffused pale band from apex to inner margin two 

 thirds from bas% bounded outwardly by a narrow dark band with a pale line beyond it ; a 

 series of antecilial dark spots ; cilia pale and dark brown. Hind wing smoky brown ; cilia 

 pale, with cilial and antecilial lines. Underside pale brown ; disc of fore wing darker ; a dark 

 streak from costa one fourth from apex. Hind wing with indistinct lunule at end of cell and 

 postmedial band. Head and thorax pale brown ; abdomen darker.
