LASIOCAMPIDiE. 



Apona plumosa, Moore. (Plate CXLII. fig. 12.) 

 Apona plumosa, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1872, p. 579. 



Expanse, $ 4 inches. 



Female. Antennae less heavily plumed than in the male. Wings of a more uniform 

 mouse-brown ; the submarginal band on fore wing outwardly bounded by a dark-brown 

 instead of a red-brown line; medial band on both wiugs followed by another indistinct 

 band. Hind wing with an extra band before the submarginal one. 



Eiipterote flavia. (Plate CXLII. fig. 10.) 



Expanse 2h inches. 



Male. Allied to E. mollis, from which it differs in being of a much duller yellow ; in 

 having all the markings brown instead of red-brown ; a series of spots immediately beyond 

 the straight postmedial baud, of which spots four are present on the fore wing, one on each 

 side of first discoidal, and one on each side of first median nervule, the ones on hind wing 

 obsolescent ; this series is followed by a waved band across both wings ; this series of spots 

 and waved band replace the two indistinct waved bands parallel to outer margin of E. mollis, 

 which start from a red patch with two white spots on it on the costa of fore wing near apex ; 

 a patch of brown on the cilia below apex. Underside without any of the red of E. mollis ; 

 the markings more obscure ; the straight postmedial band of hind wing is continuous with 

 that of fore wing, instead of starting from costa of hind wing ontside the point where the 

 band of fore wing reaches the inner margin. 



Eupterote nifodisca. (Plate CXLII. fig. 11.) 



Expanse 2| inches. 



Male. Fore wing : basal area bright yellow, with a narrow waved brown band ; costal 

 and median areas red-brown, with six narrow waved bands ; exterior area bright yellow, with 

 a series of small spots on the nervules; a submarginal narrow waved band, with two 

 subapieal white lunules placed on it ; two black spots, one between first and second median 

 nervules, the other larger in the interno-median area. Hind wing bright yellow ; four 

 narrow indistinct waved bands across basal area ; a straight medial band ; a series of spots
