 Xarkundah, Kashmir; the type, a $, is unique.

 mid and hindtibiae with a few only ; tongue absent. - - Type A. exprimata Stgr. (Dusypolia). Characterised 

 essentially by the absence of the tongue. 



exprimata. A. exprimata Stgr. Forewing dark grey sprinkled with light grey; all the lines black, well-marked; 



the submarginal preceded by a black shade ; orbicular stigma a black pale-edged spot ; reniform with dark 

 linear centre and pale edges; hindwing dark grey with the base paler and darker cellspot and outer line. — 

 Issykkul, Central Asia. 



46. Genus: JBlepharita Ramps. 



Frons smooth; eyes ciliated; antennae of d" bipectinate to near apex; mid and hindtibiae only 

 spined ; foretibiae hairy. 



Type B. arnica TV. 



arnica. B. arnica TV. (15 e). Forewing brownish white, browner in a*; median and terminal areas dark 



fuscous ; upper stigmata pale , with whitish outlines and dark centres ; a whitish blotch at base of costa ; 

 submarginal line dentate, with long teeth on veins 3 and 4; hindwing dull white overlaid with fuscous, 

 with obscure cellspot, and outer and submarginal lines. — In Europe restricted to the east, Germany, 

 Galicia, Bukovina, and Russia; also in Siberia and Amurland in Asia. — Larva dull grassgreen, dotted witli 

 yellow; dorsal and subdorsal lines darker dotted with white; lateral lines whitish; spiracles yellow ringed 

 with dark; head grassgreen; the larvae were bred from the egg, and fed up on Aconitum and Prudus padus. 



47. Genus: JParaxestia Hamps. 



Frons smooth; mid and hindtibiae spined; the e3 : es overhung by cilia, an unusual characteristic in 

 the genera with spined tibiae; head, thorax, and abdomen long-haired; the claspers of d* exaggerated; 

 palpi large , the terminal segment long and naked ; forewing elongate , with prominent apex ; both wings 

 with crenulate outer margin. 



Type P. flavicaudata Wan: 



flavicaudata. P. flavicaudata Warr. (15 e). Forewing pale brown, with an olive tinge; inner and outer lines 



slender, dark on a pale space; a dark shade before inner line; a dark median shade, and band before sub- 

 marginal line; stigmata large, with brown lateral edges only; fringe ochreous; hindwing brownish. — A 

 large species described originally from the Punjab, India, but occurring also in Kashmir. 



Subfamily: Hadeninae. 



In the subfamily just concluded the characteristic feature was the presence of spines on the' tibiae; in the 

 Hadeninae, except in two or three genera where the foretibia only is armed with a curved spine or spines , and in 

 a f< j \v in which one or more of the proximal segments of the fore tarsus bears short clawlike spines, the tibiae are 

 unarmed; the eyes are large and round, as in the Eiuoinae, but in place of being smooth are here covered with 

 very fine short erect hairs; and by this feature all the members of the subfamily can be differentiated. In all other 

 points of structure, such as the shape and development of the palpi, frons, and antennae, and in the vestiture of 

 the body and wings the same variability exists, but the neuration remains in nearly all cases stable. 



The larvae are smooth and plump, with all prolegs present, generally of dull coloration and simple pattern, 

 green, grey or ochreous, with longitudinal lines and stripes; the majority feed up in autumn, passing the winter in
