ADRIS; MAENAS: MINIODES. By W. Warren. 



outer and subterminal lines, the median shade, and the leech-shaped reniform stigma brown; hindwing deep 

 orange, with the black border and kidney-shaped blotch large and deep; fringe mottled black and white, 

 below vein 2 orange: ? whitish or pale grey, striated and suffused with olive green and grey; the lines 

 whitish; the outer with a triangular white blotch between veins 2 and 3; the reniform stigma with a bullet- 

 shaped projection inwardly from its lower end, nearly reaching a distinct black dot representing the orbicular; 

 the reniform olive green or blackish green. Larva purplish brown; the dorsum brown from the 7 th to 12 th 

 segment, which is swollen and bears a tubercle; legs red; some scarlet patches along the spiracles, irregularly 

 edged with white and larger hindwards, on the 10 th segment forming a white bar; a yellow subdorsal mark 

 on 5 th segment; a black ocellus with yellow iris and white ring on 6 th and 7 th segments; two yellow patches on 

 the 12 th . Recorded from Amurland, China, and Corea. 



6. Genus: Adris Moore. 



Separated from Ophideres by the broadly spatulate extremity of the third segment of the palpi; the 

 forewing has the apex highly produced, the termen very obliquely rounded. Type A. tyrannus Guen. 



tytannus. A. tyrannus Guen. (66c). "Forewing shining brownish grey, slightly clouded and dusted with black 



and reddish: lines fine, brown, nearly straight; the longer (the outer) running from the apex to middle of 

 inner margin, bordered with greenish; reniform stigma green, inconspicuous; hindwing orange; a curved black 

 submarginal band and a broader bilobed black blotch below end of cell; underside of forewing with two 

 black bands". Such is Guenee's description of his ? type from Central India; the <? he calls paler and 

 yellower. Hampson calls the forewing chestnut red or green, much suffused and striated with rufous (Moths 

 India II, p. 562), and mentions a Sikkim specimen, sikkimensis Btlr., in which, on the underside of forewing, 

 the outer black band is conjoined to black marginal suffusion. All the examples I have seen from India 

 (also a few from Java and the Malay peninsula) agree with Hampson's description of the upper side and of 

 the Sikkim example on the underside. All the Chinese and Japanese examples agree with Guenee's descrip- 

 tion both above and below; these are further characterised by having all the veins throughout the forewing 

 heavily and distinctly dotted with black ; this black dotting is only partial at the best in the Indian examples ; at 

 the same time, of two examples from the Khasia Hills, d 1 and ?, in the Tring Museum, the ? agrees absolutely 

 with the Chinese examples above, while below, as in the cf, the outer band of forewing^ is conjoined to the 

 black marginal suffusion. 



7. Genus: Maenas Hbn. 



Differs from Ophideres Bsd. in the third segment of the palpi being quite short, not spatulate; 

 forewing with the costa very strongly arched, the apex acute, the termen oblique and nearly straight; the 

 cilia not crenulate. Type M. salaminia F. 



salaminia. M. salaminia F. (66 d). Forewing olive green; a creamy white stripe along costa, broad at base, 



its lower edge starting from 1 / 6 of inner margin, narrowing to a blunt point at apex, thickly packed with 

 rufous brown striae towards costa, which assume a green tint towards apex, its apical extremity edged below 

 by an oblique blackish streak; terminal area creamy grey, inwardly edged by a slightly curved darker green 

 line; the green area with the submedian fold finely rust coloured across it and with a few rufous striae exter- 

 nally; fringe creamy grey; hindwing orange; a black terminal band from costa to vein 2, broad across the 

 apex; a black kidney-shaped blotch between veins 4 and 1; fringe whitish, wavy, from costa to vein 2, 

 then orange. Leech records a specimen from Kiukiang, E. China; it extends also over the Indian border 

 into Kashmir. 



]. Genus: Mini odes Guen. 



Tongue well developed; irons smooth; palpi obliquely upturned, the second segment broad and thickly 

 scaled, the third long, smooth, and blunt; thorax and abdomen hairy, without crests; tibiae without spines; 

 forewing with costa strongly arched, the termen sinuous, forming a continuous curve with inner margin; 

 hindwing with long hair at base. Type M. discolor Guen. from Africa; in the typical section the antennae of 

 the cf have long bristles and cilia.
