Pitbl. 20. XI. 1013. 



41. Genus: Tlicriucsia Hb 



n. 



Tongue present; frons with a sharp tuft of hair above; palpi stout, obliquely upturned, the third 

 segment long and erect : antennae of q ciliated ; forewing ample, scaling rough and thick, lines thick and straight. 

 Type T. gemmaialis Hbn. from America. 



T. orientalis Leech. Forewing fuscous brown; the terminal area darker, limited inwardly by a dark orientalis. 

 brown line with whitish edge; inner and outer lines obscure, blackish, the outer marked with black dashes on 

 the veins; orbicular stigma a black dot; reniform a white dot ringed with black; both wings with an indistinct 

 pale wavy subterminal line; terminal line wavy, dark, dotted with whitish. Kwei-chow, W. China. 



42. Genus : Blasticorliiiius Btlr. 



Differs from Azazia in being more roughly scaled; the lines thick and distinct; the outer line not 

 angled; the reniform a small dot; hindwing of <$ with a large vesicular fold at base of inner margin, and 

 a tuft of long hair attached to it. Type B. rivulosa Walk. 



B. ussuriensis Brem. (= unduligera Btlr.) (69 e). Forewing pale brownish grey, speckled with darker; ussuriensis. 

 lines dark ; the inner wavy; outer line dentate lunulate, oblique to vein 6, indented beyond cell, inwardly oblique 

 below 4; both ending in black dots on inner margin; the outer line followed by a pale fascia limited by a 

 similar line; an oblique diffuse straight dark median shade; orbicular stigma a black dot; reniform two 

 superimposed white dots; subterminal line interrupted at costa, yellowish, edged inwardly by^brown beyond 

 cell; terminal area darker, limited above by an oblique shade from apex; terminal spots dark; hindwing with 

 three indistinct lines; the $ is generally paler with less distinct markings, but in"some instances the median 

 shade ends in a black blotch on inner margin. A common species, occurring in Amurland, China, Corea, Japan, 

 and Yesso. 



43. Genus: Azazia Walk. 



Tongue present; frons with a sharp tuft of hair above; palpi obliquely upturned, the second segment 

 thickened with scales, the third porrect, short ; thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled ; the $ with the tibiae simple ; 

 antennae of o ciliated and with short bristles from each segment; forewing with costa straight, depressed 

 before apex, which is subacute; the termen obliquely curved, slightly sinuous; scaling fine and smooth, glossy. 

 Type A. rubricans Bsd. 



A. rubricans Bsd. (69 e, f). Forewing grey or grey brown to yellow and rufous fulvous; lines fine, ferru- rubricans. 

 ginous; the inner curved, near base; the outer acutely angled outwards on vein 6, then inwardly oblique; sub- 

 terminal interrupted, obscure; a dark oblique streak from apex; median shade dusky, thick and straight; 

 orbicular stigma a white dot; reniform very large, edged with brown, with two black dots on it; hindwing 

 with fine median line, and interrupted subterminal; a dark terminal cloudy border. A widely spread insect 

 occurring in Africa, India, and the Malay Islands; recorded by Leech from Yokohama, Japan. The typical 

 form rubricans is comparatively rare and usually large; the more common form is ochreous yellow in the $, 



ab. consueta Walk. (69 e), fawn grey in the (J, ab. transducta Walk. (69 f). consuela. 



transducta. 



44. Genus: Hjpospila Guen. 



Tongue present, not strong ; frons smooth, with a strong pointed tuft of hair at top ; palpi obliquely 

 upturned, the second segment broad, with appressed scales, the third narrower, blunt, half as long as se- 

 cond ; antennae of $ long and slender, pubescent, with fine short bristles ; femora and tibiae loosely rough- 

 haired; hindwing in <$ with some veins distorted, accompanied by a semihyaline grooved space; the cell 

 very short; vein 3 with a fringe of hair towards base. Type H. bolinoides Guen. 



In the typical species, forming section I, the hyaline area occupies, the basal half of cell and space 

 beyond and is nearly always conspicuous on the upper side; Guenee's type $ was from Java, but the' spe- 

 cies does not s^em to occur westward of that point; all the Indian, Malaccan, and Andaman examples are 

 signipalpis Walk.
