288 ANUGA; MIMANUGA. By W. Warren. 



wards to vein 6, then sinuous and oblique inwards, followed by obscure grey lines; subinarginal line white, inter- 

 rupted, broken up into 3 parts, the uppermost followed in $ by a white apical blotch and in (J by a grey 

 one ; fringe grey with a bright white basal line ; a faint median linear shade is visible near the outer line ; hind- 

 wing white towards base, with the apex and termen broadly dark fuscous, continuing a whitish subinarginal 

 line; the cellspot black. A local species found in Pontus, Syria, and the Crimea. 



grabczetv- E. grabczewskii Pilng. (53a). Forewing leaden grey; a pale waved subbasal line, followed by a round 



skit. re( j Drown p a t c h hi and below cell; inner line interrupted, consisting of a black costal spot, a striga between 

 the folds, and another from the brown patch to inner margin; outer line double, interrupted, filled in with flesh 

 colour, and preceded by streaks of the same colour; subterminal slight, white, preceded at costa by an olive 

 patch with white dots on it, by a black triangle in discal fold, with small dentate mark below it, and a flesh- 

 coloured band; orbicular and reniform with white annuli, the former small, round, with red centre, the latter 

 olive brown; a strong black median shade, angled in cell; hind whig grey suffused with olive brown; a flesh- 

 coloured subterminal mark on vein 2, and two blackish striae above tornus. Nikko, Japan. Distinguished by 

 the more evenly curved termen, and the much longer fascicles of the antennae of the <$. 



2. Genus: Amiga Guen. 



Tongue present; frons smooth, with ridges of scales at middle and on top; palpi upcurved, the second 

 segment densely scaled so as to appear subquadrate, the third triangular in the <J with rough scales, oval and 

 smooth hi the $; antennae very long, typically longer than forewing; in $ with short uniseriate pectinations 

 in basal half on inner side; abdomen elongate, with expansible anal tuft in <J, with a double tuft beneath in 

 the 9; pectus, femora, tibiae, and first segment of hind tarsi thickly haired; forewings elongate, narrow, the 

 apex rounded, termen obliquely curved and crenulate; hindwing with abdominal margin convex, the anal 

 angle truncate. Type A. constricta Guen. 



muttipli- A. multiplicans Walk. (53 a). Forewing dark purplish fuscous, the cell in the $ with diffuse pale grey 



cans. sca j es . i mes ill-defined, blackish; the inner vertically dentate, sometimes double; the outer excurved above, 

 lunulate dentate, the teeth marked on veins with white points ; submargmal line formed of white spots between 

 the veins, preceded towards costa by black dashes; a marginal line of black and white dots; fringe concolorous, 

 the tips crenulate; orbicular stigma a black dot with rufous round it; reniform rufous, with black outline, thicken- 

 ed basewards; hindwing with the lines marked only on abdominal margin, the white scales of submarginal 

 line forming a continuous narrow streak. An Indian species, also recorded from Hongkong, and Fokien, Cen- 

 tral China. 



3. Genus : Miiiiamiga gen. nov. 



Differs from Amiga in the antennae being of ordinary length, with long uniseriate pectinations in <$, 

 and a large tuft of scales from basal segment. Type M. japonica Leech. 



Sect. I. Antennae of $ almost simple; palpi in both sexes curved forwards, 

 with tufts of scales at base andextremity of second segment, the third broadly 

 scaled. 

 japonica. M. japonica Leech. (53 a). Forewing greenish grey; inner margmal half of wing purplish brown; lmes 



blackish, double, in much the same position as in lunulata Moore; a dark bent median shade; stigmata outlined 

 with black, with black centres, the orbicular small and circular, the reniform larger, oval; beyond outer line a 

 series of white dots on veins, followed by an interrupted blue black streak, externally edged with orange in 

 lower half and by purplish brown dots in upper ; a row of black dots on upper part of termen ; hindwing blackish 

 fuscous, greyer towards inner margin and base; the lines marked on inner margin only; the submargmal with 

 an orange streak. Recorded hitherto from Japan only; but a $ from N W. India is in the Tring Museum. 



Sect. II. Antennae of $ with shorter pectinations than in $; palpi of $ long, 

 straight, and upturned, the second segment with two ridges of hair in front, the 

 third long and narrow. 



lunulata. M. lunulata Moore (53 b). Forewing with costal half ochreous marked with fulvous, especially towards 



base, the inner margmal half fuscous tinged with brown, both diffusely edged; the lines black, placed very 

 much as in A. constricta, but plainer, especially in costal half; orbicular stigma a black ring with pale centre; 

 reniform large with rufous brown centre and black outline; the submarginal line rufous; hindwing blackish 

 fuscous, the basal area whitish; the lines distinct only in the innermarginal half; the submargmal line with 

 a continuous ochreous streak. Described from Sikkim, N. India : one specimen is recorded by Leech from Wa- 

 ssu-kow, W. China; only the $$ are known at present.

 Like the last this subfamily is a development of the Noctuinae; it is distinguished, first by the single
