UUOPALOCERA MALA VAX A. 



Genus UN KAN A, 



f'nkttna, Distant, rotten, p. 8G9* 



Anterior wings elongate; costal margin moderately convex, outer margin oblique, inner margin 

 nearly straight, a little shorter than outer margin. Costal nervure extending to about half the length of 

 costal margin ; first subcostal nervule emitted at about one*third before end of cell ; second, third, and 

 fourth emitted at about equal distances apart between base of first and ond of cell ; fifth from end of cell : 

 disco -cellular nervules obliquely directed inwardly, th© upper distinctly longer than the lower; second 

 median nervule emitted much nearer upper than lower median nervule* Posterior wings elongate and 

 somewhat lobately produced near anal angle, the outer margin obliquely convex. Subcostal nervules 

 bifurcating beyond middle of cell ; second median nervule emitted nearer to upper than lower median 

 nerrule. Body robust ; palpi broad and pilose ; antennae moderately long, their apices Iucrassated, 

 with the tip attenuated and curved or hooked ; legs long, anterior tibial short and thickened ; posterior 

 tibife with two long and prominent spines near apex. 



Vnhana ia allied to Badamia, Moore, and includes three species which are at present known 

 as found in this fauna, 



1, Unkana batara. (Tab. XXXIV., fig, 1L) 



hfuette batara, Moore, MS.* 



Wings above dark fuliginous ; anterior wings with three large irregular pale discal spot a, one in and 

 beyond middle of cell, and two beneath cell divided by the second median nervule : beyond these are six 

 minute pale spots, four in oblique series directed outwardly situate beyond upper end of ceil, and two 

 separated by the lower disco idal nervule ; a pale streak near centre of inner margin ; posterior wings with 

 the fringe very pale ochraeeous. Anterior wings beneath with the costal and apical areas pale steely 

 bluish, and the pale spots above ochraeeous beneath ; posterior wings bluish-grey, a spot near apex and the 

 anal 'angular area dark fuliginous. Body above and beneath more or leas concolorous with wings. 



Exp, wings, 02 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Malacca (Biggs — coll Dist.) ; Singapore (coll. Staudinger). — Java (Horsf. 

 and Moore). 



This appeals to be a moderately scarce species, — at least in collections,— though 

 such comparatively little ardour has been shown in the capture of Hesperihlw that few correct 

 conclusions can be formed on these questions*

Cobalm elia, ButL Tiane. Liuu. Soc, ser. 2, ZooL vol. i. p. 654, n, 1 (1877). 



Wings above dark fuliginous ; anterior wings with nine pale irregularly formed spots, of which live in 

 oblique series extend from between the discoidal nervules to the sub-median nervure, three in almost 

 perpendicular series divided by the fourth and tifth subcostal nervules, and one in and near end of cell ; 

 posterior wings with a transverse discal macular pale greyish fascia commencing at discoidal nervule, and 

 the abdominal-marginal area also largely of the same colour. Wings beneath a little paler than above ;
