U LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



The following is an allied genus : Gen. nov. Kirixia. Male. Wings short, 

 broad. Foreiving somewbat triangulate ; costa much arched, apex obtusely rounded, 

 exterior margin very slightly oblique, posterior angle rounded ; costal vein much 

 swollen at the base, median and submedian slightly swollen ; cell very broad, and 

 extending to more than half the wing ; discocellulars outwardly oblique, angled close 

 to subcostal and deeply incurved before the middle, radials from the angles ; median 

 veinlets very wide apart ; the basal half of the wing, including the cell, hairy, and 

 clothed with brownish short, broadly oval, more or less dentate-tipt scales, and 

 conspicuously interspersed with numerous jet-black androconia, which have broad 

 oval bulbous base, and very long fine tapering hair-like tip. Hindiving broadly 

 ovate, exterior margin scalloped ; cell broad across its middle ; first subcostal 

 emitted fully one-third before end of cell ; discocellulars very oblique, angled in the 

 middle, radial from the angle ; two upper median branches from extreme end of 

 cell, the upper median being much arched ; submedian and median widely separated. 

 Palpi long, slender, clothed with long fine hairs in front, apical joint long. Antennae 

 short, slender, with a lengthened, very slender club. Eyes hairy.

 arched, apex rounded, exterior margin convex, posterior angle rounded ; cell more ^ 

 than half length of wing, broad ; discocellulars outwardly-recurved, upper radial 

 from a slight angle very close to subcostal, lower radial from above the middle ; 

 medians wide apart. No perceptible discal glandular fascia, but a few long llach 

 androconia with stout bulbous base and hair-like penicillate-tip, are present among 

 the ordinary scales. Hindiving bluntly ovate ; exterior margin convex, and with a 

 slight tendency to an angle at end of upper median veinlet ; anal angle round ; 

 abdominal margin long ; cell broad, long ; first subcostal emitted at some distance 

 before upper end of cell ; discocellulars very oblique, angular in the middle, radial 

 from the angle ; middle median emitted from extremely close to end of the cell. 

 Body slender; palpi clothed in front to the tip with long fine hairs ; antennae with a 

 Avell-formed lengthened club.
