EMMESOMIA; HETEROPHLEPS, By L. B. Prout. 187 



postmedian line, a distal border and the fringe vaguely brownish. Forewing beneath more smoky, the bands 

 a little darkened. Japan, the type cP from Gifu. 



T. costipunctaria Leech. (1 1 d) is much larger, rather ample-winged and nearly agrees in coloration and cosli/mnc- 

 facies with the typical Indian section of the genus, the forewing being marked with red. Forewing dirty pale '"*'*'"''■■ 

 yellowish, probably discoloured from greenish. Hindwing white, with faint cell-dot and with the inner margin 

 narrowly concolorous with the forewing and black-dusted. Both wings beneath nearly as above, the red mark- 

 ings greyer. Japan: Gifu, only the ? known. 



T, rufinotata5</r. (i3a). Size of the preceding but very distinct in markings Forewing very pale yellowish rufinotala. 

 grey, somewhat dark-dusted, especially in median area; a dark subbasal line, angled on median vein and 

 outbent at inner margin, where it runs into a deep black streak; median band very vaguely indicated by two 

 groups of lines which are partly obsolete; at the costal margin they are all distinct (3 antemedian and 4 post- 

 median), the postmedian are angled at the 1^' radial and one or two continue to be traceable, parallel with 

 the distal margin; posteriorly to the median vein some distinct antemedian lines reappear and run, closely 

 approximated to the postmedian, to the hindmargin, becoming very oblique and very black behind the sub- 

 median vein; a double (partly triple) undulate, dark subterminal line, distally to which stands a series of round 

 internervular orange-red spots, those between the radials and between the medians being large and conspicuous. 

 Hindwing dirty whitish with weak brownish subterminal lines which become strong at the costa and a dark 

 uninterrupted terminal line. Under surface similarly but more vaguely marked. Kulu. A rather darker example 

 from Yatung, Tibet, is also before me. 



30. Genus: Xlmme^oiiiia Warr. 



Face smooth. Palpus very short, with appressed scales. Tongue developed. Antenna in cT thick, 

 lamellate, minutely ciliated. Hindtibia in both sexes with all spurs, cf with long, slender hair-pencil. Forewing 

 with apex strongly falcate, distal margin deeply excised anteriorly, roundly elbowed in middle, then straight 

 and very oblique; areole double. Hindwing rather narrow, produced at end of 2"*^ subcostal, thence rather 

 straight to anal angle, only slightly waved and slightly outbent about the 3''^ radial; costal rather remote from 

 cell, connected by an oblique bar about middle; cell very short, 2"'' subcostal remote from P* radial in cf, 

 very shortly stalked in ?; discocellulars not biangulate, 2""^ radial central in?, near 3'''' incf; P' median from 

 near 3'''' radial, 2""* median and submedian wanting in the cf, which has the inner margin folded into a sort 

 of pocket at the base. 



This genus was estabUshed by Warren for an Indian species, E. bilineata. It is structurally near the 

 following but very distinct in the shape of the wings. The only two known species are closely related. 

 Assam and West China. 



E. bilinearia Leech (= parallelaria Leech) (12 a). Pale whitish brown tinged with ochreous. Under uiinearia. 

 surface more ochreous, forewing with cell-spot, both wings with postmedian line. Ta-chien-lu, W. China, 2500 m., 

 collected in May and June. Rather smaller and paler than bilineata, which moreover has the lines of the 

 forewing broader and brighter and lacks the discal spot. 



31. Genus: Heterophleps H.-Sch. 



Face smooth. Palpus short or quite moderate, rough-scaled beneath. Antenna in cf with paired fascicles 

 of moderate or long cilia (section Heierophleps) or with slender, well-ciliated pectinations (section Lygrama). 

 Hindtibia in both sexes with all spurs. Forewing broad, with areole double. Hindwing relatively small, in 

 both sexes with the costal vein separate from the cell, connected by a slender, oblique bar just beyond 

 the middle, discocellulars not biangulate; cf with 2"'^ subcostal remote from P' radial, 2"'^ and 3^'^ radials 

 arising near together from posterior part of cell, P' median sometimes obsolescent, 2"'^ median and submedians 

 entirely wanting, the inner margin cut away, fringed with dense hair but without lobe or pocket; ? with 

 2"'* subcostal approximated or short- stalked, P' median approximated or short-stalked, inner-marginal area 

 not aborted. 



An exceedingly natural genus, the affinity extending even to the colour and markings, the triangular 

 costal spots at the origin of the lines being characteristic. Although local in distribution and not very rich in 

 species it is found in 3 of the great faunistic regions and in each has received a different name. In N. America
