Yoma, Doherty, Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, 1886, p. 258. de Niceville, Butt, of India, etc., ii. p. 245 

 (1886). 



Imago. — Male. Wings similar in shape to Rhinojyalpa, except that in the 

 forewing the outer margin is less sinuous below the subapical angle, and is less 

 produced at the lower median ; thii'd subcostal branch emitted at more than one- 

 third beyond the cell, fourth and fifth branch half-way thence to the end ; upper 

 discocellular distinct, short, middle discocellular long, angled obliquely-inward, and 

 bent outward near lower end, lower discocellular slender and slightly concave; two 

 upper median branches from lower end of the cell. Himiwing with the outer 

 margin almost even and convex anteriorly, the caudal angle shorter and at end of 

 upper median instead of the radial vein, as in Rhinopalpa ; the abdominal margin 

 less excavated and with but one lobe at the anal angle; precostal vein slightly 

 bifid ; cell closed by a very incipient slender curved lower discocellular. Palpi more 

 coarsely clothed with stouter scales ; antennae shorter, club also shorter. 



Type.— Y. Vasuki. 



Laeva. — [Sabina.] Head with two erect branched-spines ; segments with 

 dorsal and lateral rows of branched-spines. 



Pupa. — Suspended. Moderate sized. Head-piece projected, pointed ; thorax 

 much arched hindward ; abdomen slightly convex dorsally, and with a row of fine 

 spines, and lateral small tubercular points.
