AECTIID^. 
Utriculofera fuscapex. (Plate CLVIII. figs. 7, 17.) 
Expanse h iucli. 
Male. Fore Tving dusky greenish grey ; the base and apex fuscous ; a dark streak on the 
centre of the costa. Hind -n^ing and underside of fore -n ing fuscous, of hind wing paler. 
Female without the dark base and streak on fore wing. 
ANDROSTIGMA, g. n. 
Differs from Duhuja, Moore, in the male having bipectinated anteunse, the branches 
being short, strong, and ciliated, and a large sexual brand of large scales with rounded ends near 
the anal angle of hind Aving. Venation as in Diduga : fore wing with a costal vein ; two 
subcostals before the end of cell ; the third and fourth from the end, the latter bifid ; a radial 
from close to ujaper end of cell ; the lower radial and third median from the lower end ; 
the second median from close before the end ; the first median from long before the end ; the 
sul)median nearly straight. Hind wing with a costal vein ; the subcostal forked before the 
apex ; the third median from the lower end of cell ; the second from just before, the first from 
long before, the end ; submedian and internal uervures.

Diduga albicosta, Hmpsa. III. Ttjit. Le_p. Het. B. J/, viii. pp. .5, 53, pi. cxl. fig. 17. 
Expanse J* f inch. 
Male. Differs from the female in having bipectinated antennae and a large secondary 
sexual patch of mouse-coloured scales near the anal angle of the hind wing. 
Pseudoblabes oophora, Zdl. (Plate CLVIII. fig. 14.) 
Pseudoblabes oophora, Zell. Bull. Soc. IIosc. 1853, p. 514. 
Expanse ? t iiich. 
Female. Differs from the male in the costal fold on the underside of the fore wing being- 
slighter; the hind wing is fuscous, the apex not excised, and without the tuft of raised scales. 
This genus resembles Padenia in the strong costal fold to the fore wing and the excised 
apex of the hind wing in the male ; but differs from it in venation and in having a patch of 
modified scales below the costa of the hind wing instead of a tuft of hairs on the costa in 
the male. Zeller's description of the venation is unsatisfactory, and his figure much more so ; 
in the fore wing tlie fifth subcostal comes off from the end of the cell which is closed ; in the 
hind wing the costal is emitted close to the end of the cell, running through the patch of 
scales to the apex ; the subcostal bifurcates before the margin ; the cell is open, the median 
nervure gives off the first and third medians, the second median and discocellular being 
aborted fragments which end abruptly. In the female the cell of the hind wing is closed, 
there is a radial from the discocellulars, and two median nervules.
