336 ANISONEURA; SCODIONYX; HYPOGLAUCITIS; CLYTIE. By W. Warren. 



30. Genus: Aiiisoneura Guen. 



Tongue developed ; palpi obliquely upturned, the second segment thickened, the terminal smooth and 

 slender; antennae of o n with short sessile fascicles of cilia; abdominal segments with dorsal ridges of hair; 

 the mid tibiae spined; wings with termen crenulate; cell of hindwing short; vein 5 from close above 4. 

 Type: A. salebrosa Guen. 



A genus of large, strongly built moths, mainly Indo-oriental, but of which one species is found in the 

 Palaearetic region. 



Sect. 1 (typical) has forewings with blunter, less produced apex, and veins 6, 7 of 

 hindwing not stalked. 



Sect. II. Forewing elongate, the apex produced and termen strongly oblique; veins 6, 

 7 of hindwing stalked, longer in cf than ?. 



hypocyanea. A. hypocyanea Guen. (62a). cT Forewing reddish brown; the lines starting from 3 black triangular 



costal marks: the inner black, obscurely marked above middle, inwardly oblique^and strongly dentate below; 

 outer line oblique, strongly crenulate; submarginal line indistinct, double; a lunulate black line before the 

 termen: hindwing crossed by 5 dark straight, partially pale-edged lines; the ? is paler, with costa of forewing 

 grey to outer line. A North Indian species, of which a ¥ has been recorded from Omei-shan, W. China. 



31. Genus: Scoclionyx Stgr. 



Tongue developed; frons smooth; palpi oblique, the second segment fringed with hair in front, the 

 third moderate: antennae of cf bipectinated to apex with the branches long; thorax and abdomen without 

 crests: fore tibiae short, with a strong curved claw on inner side; hind tibiae with a few spines between the 

 spurs only; forewing broad. Type: S. mysticus Stgr. 



myslicus. S. mysticus Stgr. Forewing pale clay colour; the lines brownish ; inner line vertical, outwardly angled 



above and below the median vein; outer line slightly outcurved above and oblique inwards below the middle; 

 subterminal line obscurely double and subobsolete in middle; a row of dark spots before termen; reniform 

 sligma large and dark with a darker centre; hindwing dull luteous whitish, without markings, the veins and 

 a crenulate terminal line darker. Palestine. 



32. Genus: Hypoglaucitis Stgr. 



Tongue present ; frons smooth, with a tuft of hairs above ; palpi upturned, the second segment moder- 

 ately scaled, the third porrect; antennae of c? ciliated; thorax and abdomen without crests; tibiae smooth; 

 the hind tibiae spined as well as the mid tibiae. Type: H. benenotata Warr. 



benenotata. H. benenotata Warr. (62a). <f Forewing dark grey; a blackish brown broken line before middle, 



which runs at first obliquely outwards from costa and then vertically to inner margin, becoming most conspicuous 

 in centre of wing; a sinuous brown line beyond middle, followed by a diffuse fuscous shade; a tortuous pale 

 subterminal line, with a darker fuscous shade on either side, and preceded towards costa by two or three still 

 darker patches; fringe grey with darker basal line; hindwing fuscous, terminally darker; fringe whitish; the ¥ 

 lutea. shows scarcely any markings and might easily be mistaken for another species; another form, — ab. lutea 

 nb. nov. (62 a, b), is more or less strongly tinged with yellowish brown. The type came from Rawul Pindi in 

 N. India, and the species occurs also at Haifa, Syria: the subsp. moses Stgr. (63b) described from Egypt and 

 found also in Algeria is larger than the Syrian and Indian form, but otherwise agrees in the difference bet- 

 ween the sexes and in the possession of a grey and luteous form. 



33. Genus: Clytie Hbn. 



Tongue present; frons smooth, with short tuft of hair between the antennae; palpi upcurved, the 

 second segment with appressed scales, the third porrect; antennae of cf ciliated; thorax^and abdomen smooth; 

 mid and hind tibiae spined; forewing long, with parallel margins and blunt apex. Larva like those of Catocala, 

 resting by day outstretched on stems and branches of trees; fullfcd in autumn, pupating in a slight cocoon 

 among leaves, and emerging the following spring. Type C. illimaris Hbn.
