EPIPASCHIID^. 
halfway between the end of the cell and the outer margin ; the upper radial is emitted from 
tlie anterior angle of the cell ; the discocellular veinlet is inarched, very delicate, and only 
partially developed ; the lower radial is emitted from the posterior angle of the cell close to 
the second and third median branches; the first median is emitted rather nearer than usual 
to the second ; submedian vein looped towards the base : secondaries with the costal vein 
straight, passing so close to the subcostal vein beyond the cell that it almost seems to fork 
from it : subcostal with two bi'anches which run parallel and close to each other for about 
one fourth of the distance between the cell and outer margin; discocellular veinlet unequally 
angulated ; median branches and radial vein arranged as in the primaries : the wings are 
coarsely scaled towards the base on the upper surface, and the secondai'ies are ornamented by 
about four long, black, needle-like scales emitted above the lower subcostal branch. Body 
robust; head large, crested between the autennaj, the male with long recurved plumes, with 
prominent eyes and thick erect palpi with long needle-like terminal joint ; the abdomen 
barely exceeds the secondaries in length ; antennte simple, slender ; legs thick, but tolerably 
long and with well-developed spurs. 
Belonepholis striata. (Plate CXXXIV. fig. 3.) 
Wings above rose-pink, basal area broadly whity brown speckled with black, and followed 
on the primaries by a black-edged angulated pale band which tapers towards inner margin ; a 
broad and slightly arched, central, golden-testaceous band ; a slender, arched, discal line 
followed by a purplish-edged chronie-yellow band ; external border dark glossy red, crossed 
by black-edged silvery-blue veins; fringe with a cream-coloured basal line, followed by a 
glossy red stripe ; the outer half silvery white ; costal border of primaries whitish, speckled 
with black to beyond the middle : body whity brown, speckled with black ; the head, collar, 
and anal segment reddish. Under surface sericeous, pale golden with pink reflections, the 
outer borders and a diseal line rosy purplish ; inner border of primaries and pectus silvery. 
Expanse of wings 31 millim. 
Dharmsala. 
We have a small and imperfect specimen of this species (24 millim. in expanse), obtained 
in Japan by Mr. George Lewis ; also a second male example in good condition from the same 
locality. 
The above genus is one of the most tedious to describe, the subcostal branches being so 
much crowded together and the costal border so densely scaled that, even when the wing is 
denuded, the coarse ribbing of the surface and the character of the veins render examination 
extremely difficult.
