PASIPEDA; CALESIA; ACANTHOLIPES. By W. Warren. 385 



where the inner arm traverses a pale golden ochreous patch; some dark brown triangular terminal marks 

 above vein 4, broadly bordered with bluish white, which runs up into the apical fringe; a fine dark terminal 

 line; fringe pale, with inner half brown above vein 4; hindwing pale brownish white ; fringe white. Anrurland, 

 China, Corea, Japan. 



49. Genus: l*asi|K k «la Walk. 



Tongue present; irons smooth; palpi upturned, the second segment thickly scaled and oblique, the 

 third long, erect and slender; antennae of $ ciliated, and with bristles from each segment; thorax, abdomen, 

 and legs smoothly scaled; wings ample, with thick furry scaling; in forewing veins 8, 9 anastomose to form 

 the areole: hindwing with cell very short; vein 5 from just above 4. Larva with only 2 pairs of abdominal 

 prolegs: the anterior and posterior segments with short thick hairs. Type P. rufipalpis Walk. 



P. haemorrhoa Guen. (= patna Feld.) (70 b). Forewing dark brown to dark fuscous; lines darker hacmorrhoa. 

 but obscure; the outer bent inwards beloAv cell; the subterminal waved; a pale spot on discocellular; hind- 

 wing with obscure median and outer lines; abdomen except basal segments, fore coxae and tibiae, and the palpi 

 bright scarlet. An Indian species, found also in W. China ; the Chinese insects have the cellspot white and the 

 dark lines edged with whitish; the whole ground colour dusted with paler. The $ figured is from India and 

 shows the difference. 



50. Genus: Calesia Guen. 



Differs from Pasipeda Walk, in that the forewing of the <$ has a large tuft of curved hairs beyond 

 the cell below costa; veins 8, 9, 10 are stalked in both sexes, so that the forewing has no areole; veins 5 

 and C are convergent at % from cell, then divergent. Type 0. dasypterus Koll. 



C. dasypterus <$ Koll. (= leucostigma $ Koll., comosa $ Guen., stigmoleuca $ Guen.) (70b). Forewing dxsypterus. 

 greyjbfown, with the lines very obscure; the outer line waved; a dark spot on the discocellular in the <J, 

 a white spot in <j>; head, collar, abdomen, fore coxae and tibiae, and the middle tibiae crimson. An Indian spe- 

 cies, recorded from China also. 



51. Genus: Acaiitholipes Led. 



Tongue present; irons smooth, with a tuft of hair above; palpi laterally flattened, upcurved, the 

 second segment thickly scaled, the third short, porrect; antennae long, thin, shortly ciliated; thorax and 

 abdomen smooth; tibiae without spines; forewing triangular, the termen evenly curved. Larva slender, 

 with only 2 pairs of abdominal prolegs; feeding on low plants. Type A. regularis Hbn. 



A genus of several small species, only one or two of which occur in the Palaearctic region. 



A. regularis Hbn. (70 b). Forewing earth brown; a sinuous blackish median shade, obsolete at costa, regularis. 

 very broad towards inner margin; outer line yellowish, outwardly somewhat darker clouded, straight from costa 

 and slightly bent outwards towards anal angle; hindwing with the median shade and outer line reproduced, 

 the latter still broader than on forewing. Larva slender, elongate, yellow tinged with reddish, covered with many 

 fine, slightly sinuous and interrupted reddish brown lines, which form darker subdorsal and spiracular lines; 

 spiracles white with black rings; feeding on Glycyrrhiza glanclulifera. In Europe the species is found only in 

 S. E. Russia; in Asia it is more widely distributed, occurring in Armenia, Pontus, Syria, Transcaspia, Ferghana, 

 Issyk-kul, and Kashgar. 



A. curvilinea Leech. Forewing iron grey sprinkled with dark atoms ; inner and outer lines bandlike, blackish ; curvilinea. 

 the inner vertical, the outer sinuous, neither actually reaching costa; subterminal line oblique and straight, 

 yellowish rufous, preceded by a slight irregular grey cloud, and followed by three blackish blotches, stretch- 

 ing horizontally, at the two extremities and in the middle; stigmata black; orbicular punctiform; reniform 

 lunular; hindwing with the subterminal line broad, pale yellow, with fuscous edges; a dark waved median 

 line; fringes grey with slight blackish marks at base. W. China. The species is larger and darker than the 

 Indian trajecta Walk.
