•220 SCIOPTILA; PEEIGEA; HADJINA. By W. Warren. 



griseata. P. griseata Leech. Forewing greyish fuscous, with some whitish dusting, which is strongest 



towards base and along costa and termen; inner and outer lines indistinct, black, conversely dentate- 

 lunulate and defined by whitish; orbicular stigma round, with incomplete whitish ring; reniform with 

 small white lunule in centre, and a white annulus constricted in middle; subterminal line diffusely white, 

 in bent on the two folds: hindwing fuscous brown. West and Central China. 



fuliginosa. P- fuliginosa Leech. (18 k). Forewing dark blackish brown; the markings obscured; inner and outer 



lines black, conversely lunulate-dentate; orbicular stigma small, round, with dark centre and outline and 

 a pale ring: reniform constricted at middle, with some white scales in centre and white points on annulus; 

 subterminal line wavy, indistinct; hindwing fuscous brown. Described by Leech from a single $ from 

 Nagasaki, Japan. 



84. Genus: Scioptila gen. nov. 



Distinguished from Condica by the <$ having a small fovea in the end of cell of forewing; the fore- 

 wings broad with dull markings. Type Scioptila eriopoda H. Scliaff. 



eriopoda. S. eriopoda H. Scliaff. (= sareptae Guen.) (47 a). Forewing glossy fuscous, with a reddish reflection, 



dusted with blackish and a few paler scales; inner and outer lines black, fine, marked darker on costa 

 and conversely edged with paler; the inner oblique and slightly waved, the outer nearer inner than usual, 

 less widely outcurved round the cell, followed by white points on veins; median area darker; reniform 

 stigma diffusely dark with a wavy pale outer edge which lying exactly beneath the origin of outer line 

 appears to form a line with it, submarginal line very indistinct except towards costa where it is preceded 

 by a much darker shade; hindwing bronzy fuscous. A rare and local species, found in Bulgaria in S. E. 

 Europe, in Cyprus, Asia Minor and Syria. 



85. Genus: Perigea Guen. 



Tongue present; irons smooth; palpi upturned, smoothly scaled; the second segment fringed with 

 scales below; antennae of <$ with short fascicles of cilia; thorax smoothly scaled; metathorax and basal 

 segments of dorsum shortly tufted ; termen of forewing strongly crenulate dentate towards tornus. Larva 

 smooth, with a hump on segment 11; feeding on low plants. The genus is essentially tropical. 



spicea. P. spicea Guen. (47 a). Forewing ochreous tinged in parts with rufous brown, the costal area 



remaining paler; inner and outer lines very indistinct, the inner curved and marked with brown at costa, 

 the outer followed by black and white vein points; inner margin between the lines with white scales; 

 orbicular and reniform stigmata pale ochreous, the former round with dark dot at centre, the latter 8- 

 shaped, with a dark 8 inside, formed of dots; a rufous curved shade from apex broadening downwards 

 to anal angle and touching with its inner edge the reniform stigma, at which point there is a black spot; 

 the shade is blackened at anal angle, the black running out into the fringe; hindwing ochreous tinged 

 with brown, the terminal area darker from apex to submedian fold in $, the whole wing brownish in $; 

 pyrochroma. j n pyrochroma Walk. (47 a) the head, thorax, and forewing are much redder; — firina Sivinh. (47 a), has 

 the forewing suffused with dark redbrown instead of rufous. Larva pink, dorsal area covered with small 

 white spots; dorsal and subdorsal lines white; spiracular stripe broad, pale yellow; head greenish. Origi- 

 nally described from Java, this Indian species is recorded also from Ship-y-Shan, Central China. 



poliomera. P« poliomera Hmps. (47a). Forewing ochreous, tinged in places with rufous; the subcostal area 



through cell to apex pale, becoming white at apex; a large whitish patch on inner margin, not quite 

 reaching base or tornus, limited above by the median vein and vein 2; terminal area beyond outer line 

 redder, limited above by an oblique streak from below apex; inner line obscure; stigmata as in spicea; 

 also the black patch below lower angle of cell; outer line waved and dentate, bent out to inner margin 

 beyond the white patch; submarginal line wavy, interrupted; a patch of black scaling at anal angle 

 running out into the red fringe; hindwing pale brown, darker towards termen; fringe rufous brown. 

 Recorded from Ichang, Central China; originally described from Assam, N. India, and occurring in Hainan. 



86. Genus: Hadjina stgr. 



Tongue well-developed; frons smooth; palpi obliquely upturned, the second segment loosely scaled, 

 the third short and smooth; thorax and abdomen slightly crested, the latter only on basal segment; fore- 

 wing broad, the apex blunt, the termen evenly curved. A genus mostly of dull coloration, in appearance 

 resembling Perigea, with which it seems connected. Type Hadjina lutosa Stgr.
