from end of the cell ; discocellulars bent in the middle ; median vein 

 four-branched, two upper from end, third from angle before end of 

 the cell. Hind wing — two subcostal branches immediately beyond 

 end of the cell, two upper median branches from beyond, and third 

 from end of the cell. 



Type, CE. entella (P. entella, Cram. Pap. Exot. pi. 208. f. D).

Lithosia, Fabr. 



Lithosia, Fabr. Ent. Syst. Suppl. p. 459 (1798). 



Sexes dissimilar in colour and pattern. Fore wing with first sub- 

 costal branch free, second starting near end of the cell, trifurcate, 

 fifth curving up from end of the cell and touching third near its base ; 

 radial from end of the cell in male, from angle of upper discocellulars 

 in female ; discocellulars curved in male, angled at both ends in 

 female ; median four-branched, three upper from end of the cell. 

 Hind wing with one subcostal branch in male, two in female beyond 

 the cell ; two median branches beyond the cell in male, and from its 

 end in female. 



Type, Lithosia quadra of Europe. 



Will also include Lithosia dives (QUonistis dives, Butler, Ann.

Croup B. Fore wing with subcostal vein FiXE-brancked ; median 

 vein TUREE-branched. 



Simareea, n. g. 



Similar in form, colour, and pattern to the male of the European 

 L. quadra, but of different venation in the fore wing ; and both sexes 

 are alike, the discocellulars not being bent at the upper and lower end 

 of the cell (as in female L. quadra) ; and the median vein has only 

 two branches in both sexes proceeding from end of the cell (L. quadra 

 having three in the male). In the hind wing the costal vein has two 

 branches beyond the cell in both sexes, L. quadra having one only ; 

 the median branches also start at some distance from the cell in both 

 sexes. The palpi are more pilose, have the second and third joints 

 much longer, the apex blunt, and projecting much beyond the head.

Tarika, n. g. 



Fore wing long, broad ; costa arched ; exterior margin convex, 

 posterior margin rounded at the base ; first subcostal branch short, 

 oblique, anastomosing with the costal, second from near end of the 

 cell, third from near base of second, bifurcate, fifth from end of the 

 cell, bent upward and touching the third at one fourth its length; 

 discocellulars bent inward, upper angled close to subcostal, lower
