alone represented, a narrow silvery white lunule edged with deep red; subterminal line reddish, nearly 

 straight, but very obscure; fringe deep red with dark dividing line; hindwing ochreous tinged with blood- 

 red: a fine terminal line deep red. In Europe only in the south of France; Asia Minor, Syria, W.Turke- 

 stan. Larva yellow green, spotted with red; on flowers of Lactuca sativa and Chondrilla juncea. 



79. Genus - Galgula Guen. 



Tongue developed; frons smooth, with a tuft of hair above; palpi upturned, the second segment 

 long and curved, fringed with scales in front, the third porrect; antennae of <$ ciliated; thorax and ab- 

 domen smoothly scaled, without crests except a slight one at base of abdomen; forewing with apex produced, 

 subacute. Type Galgula partita Guen. from North and Central America. An American genus, of which one 

 species, the type, has crossed the Atlantic and established itself in the Azores, the Canaries, and Madeira, 

 and possibly Spain. 



G. partita Guen. (= hepara Guen. $, subpartita Guen., ferrugihea Walk., externa Walk., vesca Morr., partita. 

 sorex Moeschl., bias Bruce, hippotamada Bruce, mandane Bruce. (50 a). Forewing rufous grey; the veins pale; 

 inner line obscure, whitish, with dark points on it at costa and on subcostal vein, angled outwards in 

 submedian fold, then oblique; outer line whitish, inwardly defined by red-brown, bent outwards below 

 costa, then oblique, indented on vein 2; followed by a series of black points on the veins; subterminal 

 line whitish, indistinct, preceded by some redbrown shading; orbicular and reniform stigmata defined at 

 sides by whitish; the former elliptical, the latter preceded by a dark patch from costa to the cellfold; 

 hindwing whitish, suffused with brown in terminal half; in the $ the head, thorax, and forewings are 

 dark redbrown, the markings of the wing rendered indistinct; hindwing dark brown; the form baueri Stgr., 

 queried from Andalusia, is paler, the forewing being yellowish grey, without any brown and rufous tint. 



80. Genus- Balsa Walk. 



Tongue developed; frons smooth with a tuft of scales above, and a ridge of scales between the 

 antennae; palpi porrect, long, the second segment hairy above and below, the third short; antennae of $ 

 bipectinate; the thorax and basal segment of abdomen with slight crests. Larva of the single species 

 feeding on apple, and forming a tube to pupate in out of a leaf drawn together by silk. Type Balsa 

 malaria Fitch from N. America. Another American genus, of which the type has established itself in the 

 Palaearctic region, in this case in the East of Asia. 



B. malana Fitch (= obliquifera Walk., leodura Stgr.). (48 d). Forewing blue grey tinged with brown except malana. 

 along costa, the veins towards termen slenderly black; inner and outer lines finely black, acutely angled 

 on the veius; orbicular stigma a black point on a faint whitish ' mark ; reniform an obliquely curved 

 black line on discocellular, touching an oblique wedge shaped black streak from costa with a whitish 

 striga on it ; submarginal line pale, but very indistinct; hindwing brownish grey. Occurs in Amurland and 

 Japan, as well as in Canada and N. America. Larva pale green, dotted with white, and with 5 white 

 lines ; on apple, forming a tube of a leaf, and hence mistakenly described, in the first instance, as a Torlrix. 



SI. Genus. Psilomonodes 



gen. no v. 



Tongue well-developed; palpi upturned, slender, rather long, the terminal segment generally well- 

 developed; frons smooth; antennae of $ typically ciliated; thorax and abdomen with very slight crests. 

 Underside of both wings without rough hair. A genus of small sized insects, mainly American, referred by 

 Hampson to Guenee's genus Monodes in which one or both wings are clothed on the underside with 

 rough scales. Type Psilomonodes agrotina Guen. 



Sect. III. Antennae of $ ciliated only. 



P. albiviata Hmps. (45 i). Forewing pale ochreous, the costal area browner; a broad oblique albiviala. 

 yellowish streak from apex to end of cell, below which the terminal area is brown, traversed by the 

 subterminal line consisting of small white lunules preceded by dentate black marks; inner and outer lines 

 hardly traceable, the outer onky in its low T er half; orbicular stigma pale with white annulus defined by 

 brown, emitting a curved white streak from its lower extremity below end of cell; the cell beyond it 

 brown and the reniform absent; a short black streak from base below cell; hindwing whitish, with fine 

 dark terminal line. A single $ from Changyang, W. China.
