V. datanidia Btlr. (= amcena Stgr.) (44 f). Forewing pinkish grey, suffused with fulvous olive in datanidia. 

 places: all 3 lines, subbasal, inner, and outer, inwardly oblique, and parallel, broadly pinkish white, out- 

 wardly edged with redbrown: the first two straight, the outer outcurved below costa, then somewhat 

 flexuous: reniform stigma oblique, olive brown with a pale annulus, the lower half darker; submarginal line 

 obscurely pinkish, waved, between olive shadings; fringe dull pink, beyond a dark olive terminal line; 

 hindwing whitish grey, tinged with olive fuscous, with a dark curved submarginal line. E. Siberia, and 

 Japan. 



43. Genus: Harrisimeinna Grote. 



Tongue developed; irons smooth; palpi obliquely upturned, the second segment hairy in front, the 

 third short; metathorax with large crest; dorsum crested, the crest on segment 4 larger. Type Harrisi- 

 memna trisignata Walk, from N. America. 



Sect. II. Antennae of q ciliated. 



H. marmorata Hmps. (44 g). Forewing white, with the lines and markings black; three round marmoraia. 

 chocolate brown spots, one at costa before inner line, another, larger, beyond outer line, and a smaller one 

 at anal angle beyond outer line; some irregular black markings at base and in median area; inner and outer 

 lines broadly white edged with black; inner line vertical; outer line strongly angled outwards in middle 

 below the large chocolate patch, incurved below middle, and irregularly lunulate-dentate; some sub- 

 marginal black marks beyond the large chocolate blotch; fringe marbled white and black; veins before 

 termen shortly black: hindwing blackish fuscous. The $ is larger, with the upper and lower portions of 

 median area of forewing filled up with black. Japan. 



44. Genus: Auclia Walk. 



Tongue developed: frons smooth; palpi upcurved, the second segment long, and smoothly scaled, 

 the third moderate, erect; antennae of $ shortly ciliated; metathorax with a short thick crest; abdomen 

 without crests; tibiae smooth. Type Auclia velans Walk, from India. 



A. variegata Oberih. (44 g). Forewing white; the costal half with two olive brown, black-dusted variegata. 

 blotches, the first large between subbasal and inner line, the second beyond inner line; inner and outer 

 lines black, conversely white-edged; claviform stigma small, black-edged; orbicular and reniform with black 

 edges, their centres very variable, often obscured by a dark shade; submarginal line formed of white 

 lunules externally black-marked and ending in a white apical blotch, preceded by a blackish shade; the 

 fascia between outer and submarginal line olive brown or fulvous; the terminal area dark olive fuscous; 

 fringe olive, slightly mottled with fulvous at base; hindwing dull fulvous yellow, with the base and central 

 hue diffusely, the costal and terminal borders broadly and concisely fuscous — ■ or black-brown; the fringe 

 yellow. The insect varies much in the amount of dark and light suffusion; — ab. albimedia ab. nov. has the albimedia. 

 whole median area white, except the 3 dark stigmata. Amurland and Japan. 



A. flavomaculata Oberth. (44 g). Forewing pale wholly suffused with olive-fuscous, which obscures ^cidaia 

 all the markings, leaving yellowish white spots along costa at the commencement of the 3 lines and a 

 large whitish spot on submedian fold below and beyond the claviform stigma; sometimes the lines are 

 faintly traceable by paler scales; hindwing black, with two dull yellow blotches beyond central line which 

 is dark; fringe yellow. Amurland and Japan. All the examples of this species hitherto examined are $<$, 

 all those of variegata are $$: and it can hardly be doubted that they are sexes of the same species. 



45. Genus: Polyphaenis Bsd. 



Tongue well-developed; frons smooth, but rough-scaled; palpi obliquely porrect, the second segment 

 thick, and roughly scaled, the third short; thorax clothed with broad scales; the prothorax and meta- 

 thorax with stout crests; the dorsum crested. Larva, hatched in autumn, hybernates and feeds up in 

 spring, pupating in the ground. Type Polyphaenis sericata Esp. 



Sect. I. Antennae of <$ bipectinate, the branches long. 



P. xanthochloris Bsd. (= alliacea Germ.) (44 g). Forewing mottled light and dark grey, slightly ^"^!-°" 

 tinged with olive, and with blackish dusting; inner and outer lines black, waved, conversely edged with 

 pale grey; submarginal pale grey, preceded by strong black wedge-shaped marks between the veins; all 

 three stigmata with black edges, the claviform and orbicular small, pale grey, the reniform large and
