KRANANDA; TRIGONOPTILA : OOENINA, By L. B. Peottt. 349 



M. biparata Led. is also closely similar to richardsi (18 i) perhaps somewhat larger, the distal margin Mparafa. 

 of the hindwing more waved, more prominent at 3rd radial. Upper surface less uniformly strigulated with 

 brown-grey, hence appearing whiter in places, the dark lines grey, diffuse, the characteristic black pattern 

 of the 2 preceding almost entirely wanting. Underside yellowish, much lighter than in richardsi, the median 

 and postmedian lines (or stripes) present. Altai, Uliassutai, Hi and Issyk-kul districts. — kenteata Sigr., kenieata. 

 referred by its author to zimmermanni, seems to me to have more to do with biparata. Size and shape 

 about the same, postmedian and subterminal lines accompanied with black markings nearly as in richardsi 

 (though apparently variable) hindwing entii'ely without them; the lines finer. Underside, in the example be- 

 fore me, less yellow. Kentei and Uliassutai districts. 



M. frugaliata Guen. (= peremptaria Walk., cacavena Walk., lineata Warr.). Variable, but easy to frvgal^aia. 

 recognize by its shape and structure; ^J hindtibia not dilated. Pale ochreous, generally with rather strong. 

 coarse dark irroration or strigulation, a dark band distally to the postmedian and often a second accom- 

 panying the median shade; the lines themselves not strong; discal dots small. Throughout India,' Dharm:sala 

 to Ceylon. 



91. Genus: Krananda Moore. 



Structural characters as in Macaria, face without projecting cone of scales, palpus short ; distal margins 

 in the type species strongly and irregularly crenulate ; hindwing with long sharp tooth at end of 2nd subcostal 

 Wings in part hyaline. Forewing with fovea. A small genus, ranging from N. India to Japan. 



K. semihyalina Moore (18 h) is distinguished by the hyaline, almost scaleless central area and by semihyali- 

 the arrangement of the black inner-marginal markings. N. India and Japan. **"■ 



K. lucidaria Leech (18 h). Similar to semihyalina, the central area not so entirely diaphanous, the lucidaria. 

 distal margins not crenulate; black marks in median area of forewing stronger and more regular; postmedian 

 line differently shaped. W. China: Omei-shan. 



K. oliveomarginata Sivinh. (18 1). Smaller than .semihyalina, basal two-thirds irrorated with ])ale oUveomargi- 

 olive, distal area mostly olivaceous; postmedian line again differently form.ed, expecially on the hindwing 

 Khasi Hills and Omei-shan. Also Formosa. 



naia. 



92. Genus: Trigonoptila Warr. 



Like Krananda but more thickly scaled, forewing with 1st and 2nd subcostals separate (in Krananda 

 stalked or rarely from a point), cell of forewing in general more produced anteriorly, costal vein of hindwing 

 diverging less abruptly from subcostal, distal margins not crenulate. Generally smaller moths than Krananda. 

 N. India to China and Formosa. 



A. Face with small tuft at lower edge. Palpus moderate. Apex of 



forewing notfalcate (Trigonoptila). 



T. latimarginaria Leech (19 b, c). Unlike any other known species and scarcely variable. The only latimargina- 

 $ before me is rather larger, the posterior half of median area less whitish than in the ^. Japan, Korea and ""• 



Chekiang. 



B. Face smooth. Palpus short. Apex of forewing falcate (Zanclopera Warr.). 



T. straminearia Leech. The only known specimen is in very bad condition. Intermediate in size and siraminea- 

 apparently in the shape of the forewing between latimarginaria and the Indian falcata, hindwing not excavated *■*"• 



between apex and the tail at 2nd subcostal. Pale ochreous, costal half of forewing and a common oblique 

 postmedian band somewhat darker, the band marked with dark brown dots on 2nd median and 1st and 2nd 

 sub medians of forewing. Chang Yang. 



93. Genus: Coenina Walk. 



Face not tufted. Palpus moderate, stout, rough-scaled. Antenna in cJ bipectinate, with apex simple. 

 Forewing long and narrow, distal margin entire, hindmargin usually somewhat concave; 1st and 2nd sub- 

 costals from the cell, free; 2nd radial from before the middle of the discocellulars. Hindwing with costal margin 

 strongly concave in the middle, cut away at apex, distal margin toothed or pointed at 1st subcostal and more 

 or less at 3rd radial and at anal angle. An African genus, or section of the Indo-Australian Orsonoha, 

 from which it hardly differs except in the narrow wings and smoother distal margin of forewing. 



C. dentataria Swinh. (= aegyptiaca Rhl.) (18 1). Light brown with slight fuscous irroration, especially deniaiaria. 

 in the median area, and angled fuscous lines, the median area with hyaline white spots, variable, but 2
