26. Genus: Kciiiigia Gum. 



Tongue present; Irons smooth, with a tuft of hair above; palpi upturned, the second segment thickly 

 scaled, the third slender, distinct; antennae of cf. ciliated; thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled; mid tibiae 

 spined; hind tibiae and tarsi of the cT clothed with long thick pile; wings of cf on underside woolly to beyond 

 middle. Type It. fmgalis F. 



R. frugalis F. (== translata Walk, lycopodia Hbn.-Gei/.) (61 g). Forewing dull grey, the ?? with more frugalis. 

 or less of a brownish yellow tinge: inner line very indistinct, outwardly oblique, bent outwards on submedian 

 fold and below vein I; orbicular stigma a black dot: reniform oblique, oblong, with dark grey centre and 

 outline; outer line black, or fulvous brown, oblique from % 01 inner margin towards apex, preceded by a 

 pale ochreous. sometimes by a bright white line, and followed by a fuscous shade; subterminal line pale, in- 

 dicated by black vein dashes: a dark smear along submedian interval, sometimes very faint, at others blackish 

 and conspicuous; the costa usually somewhat darker; fringe pale silky grey; hindwing pale grey suffused with 

 darker: a straight dark outer line and submarginal shade; in the ab. nigripunctata ab. nov. (61 g) the forewing ^ l ff n P unc - 

 of the cf has a round black spot before the middle of wing below vein 1, as in virbia Cram. Larva pale 

 yellowish ochreous with darker lines; subdorsal lines double; a sublateral series of olivaceous spots; 5 th and 

 6 th segments edged behind with black; feeding on Zingiberaceae. Common throughout the Oriental and 

 Australian regions and in \V. Africa: in the palaearctic region it occurs in Amurland, China, and Japan. 



27. Genus: Cauniiida Moore. 



Differs from Remigia in the hind tarsi being without hairs; the wings of cf on the underside silky 

 to beyond middle. Type C. undata F. 



Sect. I. Mid and hind tibiae of cf long haired. 



C. undata F. (= archesia Cram., jugalis Walk., mutuata Walk., defundens Walk., associata Walk., undata. 

 inconcisa Walk) (61 e). cf Forewing pale grey or ochreous grey, with darker shadings; inner line preceded 

 by a narrow pale line and followed by a thin brown band; outwardly oblique, sometimes quite straight, at 

 others slightly curved; a little beyond it a fine brown median line, shortly toothed outwards on median vein, 

 and excurved above and below vein 1 ; outer line brown, excurved and crenulate below costa, and indented 

 beyond cell, outwardly angled below vein 2, then running shortly basewards, then roundly upcurved. some- 

 times nearly touching its own course at vein 3 and quite touching reniform (which is large, subquadrate, 

 pale with a dark discal mark), then obliquely and irregularly curved outwards to inner margin; on the costa 

 it is followed by a diffuse brown cloud, externally darker; subterminal line lunulate dentate, the teeth dark 

 on the veins, followed by a pale space before the dark termen; the reniform stigma is followed by diffuse 

 brown clouding: hindwing yellowish ochreous suffused with grey in basal half; a blackish sinuous outer line, 

 and dark subterminal band ending in a blackish blotch at apex; the ? is much darker, suffused with reddish 

 brown: the hindwing deeper yellow; in the ab. virbia Cram. (61 e) there is a small round black spot above virbia. 

 inner margin before the inner line of forewing in the cf ; in the form bifasciata subsp. nov. (= ab. 4 Hmps), Ufasciata. 

 from the Philippines, there are narrow black brown bands beyond the inner and outer lines of forewing; subsp. 

 gregalis Guen. is didl grey without brown or yellow tinge, and with the markings obscure and obsolescent, gregalis. 

 occurring only in certain islands: the forms pellita Guen. and mayeri Bsd, are African modifications. Larva 

 purplish brown, speckled with black; the lateral area yellowish with red lines; a sublateral row of small 

 black dots: head with a red and brown streak at sides; feeding on Desmodium. and changing to an efflorescent 

 pupa. Found in China, Corea. and Japan: abundant in India and many of the Malay Islands, and in Africa. 



Sect. II. Hind tibiae of cf with long hairs; mid tibiae smooth. 



C. dolosa Btlr. (=nigrisigna Leech) (63b). Forewing greyish brown; inner line blackish edged with white, dolosa. 

 preceded by a black dot above inner margin; reniform stigma whitish with grey centre and brown margin, 

 followed in the ;f by a dark brown blotch notched externally: outer line curved from cosla and waved to vein 2, 

 where it curves inwards and upwards to vein 3, then is recurved to vein 2 again and thence obliquely inwards 

 to inner margin: subterminal paler, denticulate, shaded on both sides with darker; hindwing grey brown; 

 median line and terminal border darker; this latter traversed by a pale subterminal; the ? is rather smaller 

 and paler; the patch beyond reniform hardly marked; the inner line less oblique. Buttler's dolosa from the 

 island of Formosa; nigrisigna from Satsuma and Kiushiu.
