CHINESE DREPANINAE 69 



Colour-pattern of upper surface as in PI. 3, fig. 321 ; pale areas yellowish brown, darker 

 areas greyish brown Whitish crescentic area at apex of fore wing bordered anteriorly 

 with dark brown. Upper surface of wings very pale yellowish brown, darker at costa and base 

 of fore wing. Under surface of fore wing with indistinct postmedial fascia and weakly marked 

 discocellular spot ; hind wing with two well-marked discocellular spots. Legs similar in 

 colour to under surface of wings but with outer surface of prothoracic legs greyish brown. 



cJ genitalia as in Text-figs. 123-123 



9. Similar to male, but antennae with shorter cilia. 



$ genitalia as in Text-fig. 122. 



Wing. <J 13-0-14-0 mm. (5) ; |. 15-0-16-5 mm. (5). 



Separable from parvula by the more elongate, pale, apical crescent and the dark 

 medial shade on the fore wing, and by the fact that both R^ and R% arise from the 

 areole in the fore wing. The asymmetric seventh abdominal sternite and the short, 

 truncate uncus serve to distinguish the male genitalia, and the ribbon-like signum 

 the female genitalia.

 Albara Walker ; sensu Gaede, 1931 : 31. [Parti m 



cj. Palp upturned to just above labrum. Antenna bipectinate from base to between about 

 three-fifths and three-quarters of its length ; shaft coated proximally with brilliantly lustrous 

 scales except in utidata. 



Mesothoracic tibia with one pair of spurs, metathoracic tibia with two pairs of spurs. Fore 

 wing falcate except in some specimens of humerata ; vein /?i arises from proximal half of 

 areole in vira, but from near distal end of cell in remaining species ; Rz arises from near, or at, 

 distal end of areole, Sc + R\ in hind wing approximates to Rs for short distance distal to cell. 

 Ground-colour of upper surface of fore wing one of various shades of buff or grey ; costal area 

 with two or more dark patches ; antemedial fascia and postmedial fascia well-marked, lunulate 

 in undata, angled near costa in humerata, straight or nearly so in rest of genus ; two or more 

 discocellular spots usually present (pale in vira and bicostata, dark in remaining species) or with 

 line of dark scales along discocellular vein ; subterminal fascia, when present, a row of neural 

 spots, or in vira a continuous pale line ; fringe of outer margin as for ground-colour of wing, 

 but dark brown or grey apically. Ground-colour of upper surface of hind wing similar to fore 

 wing in most species but paler in undata ; in bicostata (q.v.) anal margin of hind wing is similar
