LOPHOMILIA; LOPHOGRAPTA; DIERNA. By W. Warren. 411 



88. Genus: liophomilia gen. nov. 



Agrees with the next genus Lophograpta in having crests on the three basal segments of dorsum; but 

 veins 3, 4 of hindwing are not stalked, and there is no pale streak along costa of forewing; the forewing 

 is narrower, with the tormen entire, not angled at vein 4, but at most slightly bent. Type L. polybapta 

 Btlr. 



L. polybapta Btlr. (71 i). Forewing flesh colour with a grey tinge; inner line chestnut brown, diffuse polybapta. 

 and oblique from % of costa to median vein, then inwardly oblique, concise and straight to near base of 

 inner margin; outer hue white, slender, preceded by a diffuse chestnut brown shade, and followed by olive 

 brown, indented in cell and deeply incurved on submedian fold; terminal area olive brown; subterminal line 

 pale, with black spots between veins, that below costa largest; fringe brown; a small black cell dot; hindwing 

 pale fuscous, with a dark outer line. Found in Japan, Corea, and Kiushiu. 



89. Genus: X<opliog;rapta gen. nov. 



Distinguished from Pangrapta by the prominent cerests on the 3 basal segments of dorsum; the stalk- 

 ing of veins 3, 4 in the hindwing; and by the broad pale basicostal streak of forewing extending also over 

 base of hindwing. Type L. pulcherrima Btlr. 



L. pulcherrima Btlr. (71 i). Forewing with basicostal area for % pale rosy, clouded, streaked, and pulcherrima. 

 externally bordered with gravel yellow; the tornal area duU grey; inner line curved, obscure; outer oblique 

 outwards to vein 4, followed by a large white tooth-shaped costal blotch, which is interrupted beyond 

 cell by a streak of yellow and edged with olive grey, below vein 4 incurved and waved; apical area olive 

 mixed above vein 4 with rosy and brown; subterminal line formed by four black and rosy spots above middle 

 and by a waved obhque pale hne towards inner margin; two blackish spots on the discocellular, one at 

 each end; hindwing grey, tinged with olive beyond the rosy basal area; subterminal line a row of whitish 

 spots, ending on inner margin as a yellow ferruginous bordered line. Japan. 



L. albicostalis Leech. (74e). Forewing violet grey; a broad whitish stripe, clouded with greyish, occupying albicostalis. 

 the whole of the basal and a large portion of costal area, but not extending to apex; apical third chocolate 

 brown clouded with darker; a faint basal line; the outer line whitish; the subterminal bidentate; fringe 

 dark grey, narrowly rayed with white, with a brown fleck at middle; hindwing with whitish basal patch, a 

 linear brown cellspot, angulated and indented blackish median line, and a large blackish spot with some 

 blackish scales on each side at anal angle; a terminal row of black dots; thorax and basal half of dorsum 

 white. Mngpo and Foo-chau, China. Apparently allied to pulcherrima. 



90. Genus: IMcrna Walk. 



Tongue present; palpi upcurved, the second segment long and broadly scaled, reaching above vertex, 

 the third slender and pointed; thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled, stout; antennae of <J cdiated, with 

 long curved bristles on inner side to 3 /t, where the shaft is thickened and bent; forewing triangular; the costa 

 straight, apex acute, termen obhque and curved at tornus; hindwing with inner margin short, and truncate 

 at tornus; forewing with obhque parallel markings. Type D. strigata Moore. 



D. strigata Moore ( = multistrigaria Moore) (711). Forewing greyish ochreous, with a fine black strigata. 

 line from apex to middle of inner margin, above which it is slightly curved; this line is edged inwardly by a 

 fine whitish line limited by a fine grey thread; outwardly it is followed by a diffuse fuscous shade; the 

 whole wing varied with long fine transverse grey striae; before the middle there are traces of two obliquely 

 curved dark shades, the inner sometimes marked by a black dot on vein 1; reniform a long grey pale- 

 edged blotch, prolonged outwardly; the terminal area always darker, with traces of a curved pale outer line 

 followed by a dark shade, sometimes marked by black dots on veins 2, 3, 4; small black terminal dots; 

 fringe pale silky grey; hindwing dappled and striated with dark grey, diffusely darker towards termen, espec-
