6 and 7 from a point, 8 anastomosing near base. Mr. Schaus' type is 

 before me. This doubtless represents a new genus. 



b. Palpi moderate, reaching beyond frontal tuft. 



* Veins 2 and 3 of fore wings separate. 



Genus Natada Walk. 



1855 — Natada Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus. V, 110S. 



Type rufescens Walk. Perola daona Druce is before me. It be- 

 longs to this genus and seems specifically identical with N. nasoni of 

 the United States. 



Genus Sisy rosea Grote. 



1876 — Sisyrosea Grote, Can. £nt. VIII, 112. 



Type textula H.-S. Amydona lucens Walk, is before me. The 

 legs are broken, but the other characters agree exactly. Semyra diana 

 Druce is similarly mutilated, but otherwise falls here. 



Genus Thosea Walk. 



1855 — Thosea Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus. V, 1068. 



Type imifascia Walk. T. fuse a Druce is before me ( Trabala fusca 

 D.) and falls here, agreeing with the characters given in Hampson's 

 " Moths of India." 



* * Veins 2 and 3 of fore wings stalked. 



Genus Epiperola, nov. 



. Male antennae bipectinated to the tip ; palpi upturned, slightly exceeding the front, 

 third joint small but distinct; fore wings with costa straight, veins 2 and 3 stalked, 



7 to 9 stalked, II straight ; fork of discal vein short and open ; hind wings with veins 

 6 and 7 from a point, 8 anastomosing near base ; hind tibiae with terminal spurs. 



Type drucei Schaus. (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1892, 323.) 

 This differs from Perola in lacking the middle spurs of hind tibia? 

 and in length of palpi. 



c. Palpi short, not exceeding frontal tuft. 

 * Veins 2 and 3 of fore wings stalked. 



Genus Perola Walk. 



1855 — Perola Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus. IV, 920. 

 1855 — A'wwMa Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus. V, 1114. 

 1855 — Camila Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus. V, 1126. 



Type murina Walk. The type species is before me. Also P. vil- 

 losipes Walk. ( Trabala villosipes Walk.), sericea Moschl. (Asballa sen'-
