386 LOXIODA; DRAGANA; HEMIPSECTRA; BREVIPECTEN. By W. Warren. 



52. Genus: lioxioda gen. nov. 



Tongue present; palpi obliquely porrect upwards, the second segment more thickly scaled, the third 

 minute; antennae of <J ciliated and with bristles; thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled; tibiae without 

 spines ; forewing triangular, the apex produced and prominent, the termen oblique and even ; lines oblique 

 towards apex, the ground colour mostly ochreous. Type L. similis Moore. Several species occur in India, but 

 one only extends into China. 



similis-. L. similis Moore (= ochreifascia Hmps.) (70 c). $ Forewing ochreous tinged with brown; lines dark, 



oblique and straight; two inner and two median indistinct; an oblique outer diffused line, with black 

 specks on it towards inner margin, and a slight waved line beyond it; a terminal series of dark specks; hind- 

 wing with two inner lines; a median line outwardly diffused, and a subtermmal line; the $ is paler with 

 the lines more prominent. A North Indian species, recorded by Leech from several localities in Central and 

 Western China. 



53. Genus: l>raj»ana Walk. 



Tongue present; frons smooth; palpi obliquely porrect, weak; the second segment with slight rough 

 scales, the third short; antennae of <J bipectinate, the branches weak; thorax and abdomen smooth; the tibiae 

 nearly simple ; forewing triangular, the apex subacute, the termen oblique and curved. Type D. pansalis Walk. 

 The genus contains only two or three species of small size and fragile build, occurring in the Indo-oriental 

 region, one only of which is found in E. China and Kiu-shiu. It is excessively abundant in certain Eastern 

 localities. 



pansalisi D. pansalis Walk. (= evulsalis Walk., concors Walk.) (70 c). Forewing greyish brown or ochreous, 



sometimes with a rufous tinge, and slightly irrorated with dark scales ; the lines darker, generally indistinct ; 

 an inner, a double median, and an outer, this last better marked, and followed by a cloudier area, sometimes 

 with fuscous patches at middle and inner margin; a terminal row of black specks; hindwing with sinuous 

 outer line and traces of a pale subterminal through the darker terminal area. Recorded from Ningpo, E. 

 China. 



54. Genus: Hemipsectra Hmps. 



This genus of small and slightly built insects is distinguished by the peculiar structure of the antennae 

 of the <J; these are shortly pectinated as far as the middle on the outer side, and ciliated, with bristles 

 from each segment on the inner side throughout. Type H. plumipars Hmps. from India. 



fallax. H. fallax Btlr. Forewing pale olive grey; three indistinct, parallel, curved grey lines in basal area, 



the innermost dotted with black; a median curved band, darker on inner margin, followed by a row of dark 

 dots; outer line grey; a row of black terminal dots; hindwing grey. Japan, Kiushiu, Corea, Central China. 



55. Genus: Brevipecteii Hmps. 



Tongue present; frons flat; palpi upbent, the second segment thickened with scales, the third slight, 

 porrect; antennae of $ bipectinated to %; thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled; tibiae slightly tufted on 

 outer side; forewing with apex subacute, the termen obliquely curved, not crenulate. Type B. captata Btlr. 



captata. B. captata Btlr. (70c). Forewing brownish grey; lines dark edged with pale; a short subbasal line; 



an oblique slightly sinuous inner line; median line vertical, followed by a large triangular deep chocolate 

 brown patch with white edges, extending from costa to lower angle of cell; outer line excurved beyond cell, 

 then inwardly oblique, nearly touching median line on inner margin; beyond it on costa a triangular choco- 

 late brown patch with white edges ; submarginal line obscure marked by a slightly darker shade ; in some spe-
