Genus HYAR0TI8. 



Htjnmth, Moore. Lep. Ceyl. vol, i. p. 174 (1881). 



Tills genua can be readily distinguished from the preceding — Plmtiny'ut — by the position of the first 

 subcostal nervule of the anterior wings, which is emitted more nearly opposite the base of the lower than 

 of the second median nervine. 



A single species (according to present knowledge), and one which is given by Mr. Moore 

 us the type of the genus, is found in the Malay Peninsula.

Wings above chocolate-brown : anterior wings with seven pale greyish semi-hyaline spots, situate 

 one in cell, three in oblique aeries beneath cell divided by the two lower median nervules, and three small 

 and subupieal in subereet series : posterior wings with the fringe greyish-brown, Anterior wings beneath 

 spotted as above, the outer half paler and with a distinct darker Bubmarginal faseia ; posterior wings 

 beneath with the basal third (dioeoJatc-brown. the discal third more or less violaceous, and the outer third 

 pate fuscous; the discal third contains some irregularly formed greyish -white spots, and the outer third 

 has an inner dark macular fascia* Body above chocolate- brown ; .body beneath and legs paler brown.

It is not accurate to speak of any species belonging to this family as being really rare 

 in the Malay Peninsula, the Hesperitd® having been bo little worked, but certainly H. adrastu* 

 is not common in collections belonging to the fauna, as one specimen in my own collection 

 and another in that of Dr. Stan dinger are the only Malay examples I have seen. 



Genus COLADENIA. 



Coimienm, Moore, Lcp, CtyL vol. L p, 180 (1&81). 



This genus dinners from all those of the KrionoUiria here previously enumerated in having the 

 anterior wings short, and not twice as long as broad. The anterior wings have the upper disco-cellular 

 nervine a little shorter than the lower, the second median nervule has its base about twice as far apart 

 from that of the lower as from that of the upper median nervule ; the posterior wings have the subcostal 

 nervules bifurcating near end of cell, the first and second median nervule s having an apparently common 

 origin near end of cell. Body robust and pilose ; palpi laterally compressed ; antenna; with a well -formed 

 apical elub moderately hooked at tip ; posterior tibiae with two prominent spines,
