Sect. I (typical). Antennae ol' cf with fasciculate cilia. 



E. fautrix Gum. (58c). Forewing lawn brown, with fine dark dusting; a thick black brown subcostal fautrix. 

 stripe, towards costa edged with fulvous and beyond middle with ochreous; the costal area paler than the rest 

 of wing; lines on it oblique outwards, bent in the stripe; inner and outer lines below the stripe both straight 

 and parallel, the outer edged on inner side with yellow; median line more inwardly oblique, outwardly pale 

 edged, followed by a wavy line indented on vein 1 ; subterminal line lunulale dentate, the tip of the lunules 

 marked inwardly with a dark and outwardly by a pale dot; fringe grey with a yellow basal line; cellspol 

 black, sometimes large; hindwing with the four outer lines, but without .cellspol; the forewing generally shows 

 a paler diffuse space in midwing before outer line: the ground colour varies from dark grey or grey brown 

 to pale fawn colour; groundcolour of underside yellow, paler in the cf. An Indo-oriental species occurring 

 throughout India and the Malay Islands and reaching Australia: recorded from China. 



7. Genus: Cocytodes Guen.

 thorax and abdomen clothed with long hair; in the cf a strongly ridged chitinous rasp exists on the centre 

 of the dorsum of penultimate segment; tibiae with fringes of long hair; all the tibiae spined; the inner margin of 

 hindwing in cf fringed with long hair; both sexes with the termen truncate below vein 2. Type: C. coerulea Guen. 



C. coerulea Guen. (58 c). Forewing brown suffused with black, except the costal area to outer line and coerulea. 

 the apex, and sparsely sprinkled with blue scales; lines thick and black; the inner waved and oblique, beyond 

 two black basal blotches; outer line lunulate dentate, angled beyond lower end of cell; a pale waved sub- 

 marginal line, somewhat^obscure ; orbicular stigma a black dot; reniform a large white lunule with a black 

 lunule at centre: hindwing black, with a bright blue patch beyond cell before a broad black outer line which 

 is followed by a maculate outer blue band ; an elongate blue mark on margin before anal angle. Larva_black, 

 with transverse dorsal white bars each enclosing a black line; spiracles ochreous, in black rings withjsome red 

 round them placed on white patches; an interrupted white line between the spiracles; a broader spiracular 

 line with a black spot below each spiracle; a broad white ventral band; the last segment humped and black 

 on dorsum; the extremity orange above spotted with black; the whole with long sparse white hairs. Amurland, 

 Central and Western China, Japan. The insect occurs throughout India and the islands of the Malay archipelago. 



8. Genus: Agonista Fldr. 



Tongue well developed; frons smooth; palpi upturned; antennae of cf nearly simple; all the tibiae spined; 

 thorax and abdomen clothed with hair, without crests; -wings in cf on upper side clothed with silky andro- 

 conia except the terminal area in forewing and innermarginal area in hindwing; hindwing with inner margin 

 prolonged; a strong fold between veins la and b; the cell short; wings ample and broad in the cf, longer 

 in the ?; the cf darker than the ?. Type: A. endoleuca Guen. A genus of Indian and Malayan moths, two 

 of which are Chinese. 



A. endoleuca Guen. (58a). cf. Both wings velvety black brown, shot with purple blue; the fringes endoleuca. 

 white, hindwings with innermarginal area and fringe pure white; anal half of abdomen yellow: ?. Both wings 

 fawn brown, with numerous transverse brown striae, often dusted with pale beyond outer line; forewing with 

 the bands thick, darker; the inner bent at middle; the median nearly straight; the outer broad at costa, 

 angled outwards at vein 6, then narrower; a subterminal row of dark spots, inwardly tipped with white, often 

 obsolete: a darker edged fawn brown lunule at end of cell; hindwing with median and outer dark bands, the 

 latter indented at costa, followed by a white line; the apex narrowly, the tornal area broadly, and the inner 

 margin and fringe white: fringe brown and white; abdomen fawn brown. Becorded from China. 



A. ciliata Moore (= fuscescens Leech) (58 a) cf. Forewing velvety brown, with a greenish blue lustre ciliaUi. 

 in certain lights: indistinct darker inner, median, and outer bands, which are scarcely visible in hindwing; 

 fringes cream white; ? pale ochreous brown with darker striae, slightly greenish-tinged, partly or wholly 

 suffused with darker, especially in basal half and in terminal area; inner band slightly waved: median lunulate 

 dentate, protruding below middle; outer band macular, angled outwards at vein G and below middle; 

 subterminal lunulate dentate, the lunules marked at their inner edge with black points tipped with white; 

 a large, generally paler, bilobed discal blotch at end of cell finely edged with black and white; hindwing 

 with 3 dark straight parallel bands, the outermost the darkest and edged with pale; a subterminal row of 

 dark points; fringes hardly paler. A North Indian species, occurring at Chia-kou-ho, W. China. The fore wings 

 of the cf of this species are narrower, less triangular, than is usually the case in this genus.
