STILBINA; HYPEUTHINA; PSEUDOLIGIA. By W. Warren. 201 



C. segregata Btlr. (= placens Stgr.). (48 b) Forewing brown, crossed before the middle by a broad pale- segregata. 

 edged darker band, angulated and undulating on its inner edge, but with the outer nearly straight except 

 for a shallow sinus below vein 2; a subquadrate brown costal spot before apex, edged with white, con- 

 tinued as an indistinct irregular band to midwing, and enclosing a longitudinal black dash; terminal dots 

 black: fringe grey, darker in lower half; hindwing paler, the costal area whitish. Japan, Corea, W. and 

 C. China. E. Siberia. 



C. nigribasalis Hmps. (44 k). Forewing greyish white with brown irroration and suffusion; the basal nigribasalis. 

 area and inner area as far as outer line dark brown, with a diffuse blackish streak above vein 1 ; lines 

 blackish: the inner oblique to submedian fold, then incurved and again sharply angled outwards above 

 inner margin: the outer excurved to vein 4, thence oblique, preceded in submedian fold by a small white 

 spot and emitting a black streak outwards to termen below vein 4; submarginal line pale and obscure; 

 orbicular large, oblique, elliptical, whitish outlined by dark brown; reniform with a ring of small white 

 dots, defined by brown, and constricted at middle; hindwing brownish grey, with dark cellspot and curved 

 outer line. Described from a single $ from Wa-ssu-kou, W. China. 



52. Genus: Stilbina Stgr. 



Tongue aborted; frons with long bilobed corneous prominence, with a shorter corneous plate below 

 it excised in front, a tuft of hair above it; palpi short, porrect, third segment minute; antennae of <$ 

 bipectinate, the branches long; prothorax slightly crested; abdomen without crests; tibiae smooth, the spurs 

 long; forewing with blunt apex, and evenly rounded termen; in hindwing veins 6, 7 are short-stalked, and 

 vein 8 anastomoses with cell to y 3 . Type Stilbina hypaenides Stgr. 



S. hypaenides Stgr. (48b) Forewing whitish washed with pale ferruginous; the costal area brown; the hypaenides. 

 median nervure and base of median nervules white; a slight brown streak white-lined below at base of 

 submedian fold; inner, outer, and submarginal lines black, but only clear at costa, becoming obsolete below 

 middle; orbicular and reniform stigmata black; hindwing luteous white, the termen suffused with pale 

 rufous. In the $ the ferruginous tints give place to brown; all the lines are traceable across wing; the 

 black streak at base is stronger and the median nervure and branches not white; the stigmata are sur- 

 rounded by white black-edged annuli. Syria and Palestine. 



53. Genus: Hypeuthina Led. 



Tongue absent; frons prominently rounded, with a corneous plate at middle whose outer edge is 

 curved, and a large corneous plate below it; palpi short, porrect; antennae of $ bipectinate, the branches 

 quite short; thorax and abdomen without crests; tibiae smooth, the spurs long; in hindwing vein 8 ana- 

 stomoses with cell to middle; veins 6, 7 are scarcely stalked. Type Hypeuthina fulgurita Led. 



H. fulgurita Led. (48b) Forewing ochreous with slight rufous suffusion; the veins dark; a strong black fulgurita. 

 streak from base along submedian fold white-lined above; a more slender black streak in cell from before 

 middle to end, also white-lined above; slight black streaks above and below vein 5; dentate white marks 

 from outer area to termen on each side of veins 6, 4, 3, and a white streak below 3 to below angle of 

 cell, all with diffuse black marks mixed among them; the white streaks intersect the black terminal line 

 and the cilia; hindw-ing luteous whitish, the outer half pale brownish; $ much whiter, with scarcely any 

 brown suffusion; all the black lines and markings fainter; in both sexes the lines and stigmata are all 

 absent. Syria. 



H. numida Oberth. (42 c). Forewing grey brown; outer area dark brown except towards costa and numida. 

 termen, inner and outer lines brown, double, diffused; the inner angled outwards on submedian fold, the 

 outer incurved below vein 4; subterminal line defined only by the difference between the outer and 

 terminal areas; orbicular and reniform brown with grey annuli, the former round, the latter constricted at 

 middle: hindwing grey tinged with brown. Algeria and Tunis. 



54. Genus: Pseudoligia Stgr. 



Tongue aborted, small; frons smooth; the palpi shortly porrect; antennae of $ ciliated; vertex of 

 head tufted: prothorax and metathorax faintly crested; abdomen without crests; fore tibiae with long 

 curved claw at extremity on inner side; forewing long and narrow, the termen obliquely curved; in hind- 

 wing vein 8 anastomoses with cell at base. Type Pseudoligia similiaria Men.
