The genus is distinguished, in both sexes, from the closely related Auzata Walker 

 by the bipectinate antennae and, as already indicated by Inoue (1962), by the fact 

 that the outer spur of the middle pair on the hind tibia is very small and partly 

 hidden by scales. 



Distribution. Japan, China and N.W. India.

 Callicilix abraxata Butler, 1885 : 124. 



C. abraxata is known to have two subspecies. A single male from ' Masuri ' 

 [N.W. India, Mussoorie] in the BM(NH) will probably prove to represent a third 

 subspecies.

Callicilix abraxata abraxata Butler ; Inoue, 1962 : 17, pi. 2, figs. 21, 22, figs. 45-60, (antenna, 

 venation, hind tibia, $ and $ genitalia). 



This subspecies is distinguished from nguldoe by the colour-pattern (PI. 12, fig. 

 376, and colour-plate in Inoue (1962)) and in the male genitalia by the shape of the 

 eighth sternite and uncus. 



Distribution. Japan. The localities have been listed by Inoue (1956) (in 

 English) and (1962) (in Japanese). 



Type. I select as LECTOTYPE a $ in the collection of the BM(NH), labelled 

 ' Callicilix abraxata Butler, type ; Yezo [Japan] ; Drepanidae genitalia slide No. 

 27 '. The locality of this specimen corresponds with that given by Butler in the 

 original description and it is doubtless one of the specimens, or the only specimen, 

 before Butler when he described this species.

This is distinguished from the nominate subspecies by the colour-pattern (PI. 12, 

 fig. 377, and colour-plate in Oberthiir (1893)), and in the male genitalia by the shape 

 of the eighth abdominal sternite and uncus. The female genitalia are illustrated in 

 Text-fig. 257. 



Distribution. There are Chinese specimens from Oberthiir localities (Szechwan
