segment thrown forwards ; antennae of $ ciliated ; thorax and abdomen without crests ; in the hindwing veins 

 3, 4 and 6, 7 are stalked. Type M. atrigutta Walk. 



M. maculata Leech (52 g). Forewing pale rufous grey; inner line represented by a small black costal maculata. 

 spot and a larger one on submedian fold; outer by small black spots on costa and inner margin and two large 

 black spots on the folds, the spots slightly edged with white ; fringe marked with black at apex and at end of 

 both folds. Satsuma, Japan. 



34. Genus: Flam nioiia Walk. 



Tongue well developed; frons smooth; palpi obliquely upturned, stout, the second segment thickly 

 scaled, the third short; antennae of <J lamellate; thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled, without crests; fore- 

 wing elongate, the termen evenly curved; markings consisting of 3 or 4 oblique, parallel, shaded lines; hind- 

 wing with veins 6, 7 shortly stalked. Type F. quadrifasciata Walk. 



F. trilineata Leech (52 g). Forewing grey, suffused with pinkish brown; lines broad, dark brown, the trilineaia. 

 inner and median almost straight, the outer angled above the middle; submarginal line oblique, dusky; cell 



spot linear, blackish; hindwing pinkish fuscous. Kiukiang and Chung King, Central China. 



35. Genus: ^JToihosterrha nom. nov.*) 



Tongue fully developed; frons smooth, rounded; palpi porrect, quite short; antennae of <$ ciliated; 

 thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled, without crests ; forewing narrow, the apex acute ; costa and termen nearly 

 straight ; in the hindwing veins 3, 4 and 6, 7 are shortly stalked, and the costal and subcostal veins anastomose 

 to near end of cell. Type N. oranaria Lucas. 



In markings the only species mimics the Geometrid Rhodometra (= Sterrha H. Schdff.) sacraria. The 

 name Pseudosterrha is preoccupied, having been used by me in 1888 for an Indian Geometrid Genus. 



N. oranaria Lucas (52 g). $: Forewing ochreous more or less strongly flushed with brown; the only oranaria. 

 markings two white lines, submarginal and outer, partially darker edged, rising together just before apex and 

 diverging to near end and middle of inner margin; the folds and veins, from base outwards, white lined with 

 black; the <$ is larger, often brownish tinged; the white lines and veins less distinct; the hindwing paler fuscous. 

 Algeria. 



36. Genus: Gyrohypsonia Stgr. 



Tongue present ; frons with a short rounded horny process, hollowed out at the end, projecting beyond 

 the frontal tuft of hairs ; palpi slender, porrect obliquely upwards, the terminal segment short ; antennae filiform, 

 simple; abdomen slender with strongly developed genitalia in <$ and anal tufts; foretibia with small claw at 

 extremity on inner side. Allied to AEgle Hbn. (= Metoponia Stgr.). Type G. sterrha Stgr. 



G. sterrha Stgr. Forewing greenish yellow; a broad costal streak and the fringe dull rosy; orbicular sterrha. 

 stigma a small round white spot ; reniform stigma represented by a darkening at end of cell, preceded by whitish 

 scales and with a small white mark at lower angle of cell ; hindwing dark grey ; fringe reddish. W. and E. Turkestan. 



37. Genus : Erastria Tr. 



Tongue present; frons rounded, with a ridge at middle and corneous plate below it; palpi porrect, mo- 

 derately scaled ; antennae of £ minutely ciliated ; thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled, without crests ; forewing 

 smoothly scaled, slightly glossy, with faint metallic markings ; neuration normal. Larva on Convolvulus in autumn, 

 pupating on the ground among leaves and rubbish. Type E. trabealis Scop. 



E. trabealis Scop. ( = sulphuralis L., arabica Hiifn., sulphurea Schiff., trabeata Scriba, lugubris F., trabealis. 

 pardalina Walk.) (52 g). Forewing pale yellow; the markings black, edged, when fresh, with lustrous scales; 

 horizontal black streaks from base along median and submedian veins; the lines marked by black costal spots, 



*) In Vol. II (PI. 13 i) I have given a copy of (Pseudosterrha) oranaria, taken from Oberthur's figure (Et. 

 d'Ent. 19, PI. 6, fig. 40) and on p. 74 we remarked that the position of this form in the Arctiidae, immediately before 

 the Lithosiidae, seemed to be erroneous. The result of examination of a specimen, which Mr. PC^gkler was good enough 

 to send me was the remark on p. 75 of that Volume that oranaria would be better placed in the Noctuidae. Neverthe- 

 less I gave a figure of the female and description in Vol. II, because all who follow Staudingee and Rebel's Catalogue 

 will look for the species in this place, while its position in the Geometridae, as given by Lucas and ObekthOR, was not 

 worthy to be discussed. Dr. Seitz.
