Hemonia flava. (Plate CLVIII. fig. 5.) 
Expanse ^ inch. 
Male. Head, thorax, and abdomen yellow, the last rather darker above. Pore wing 
yellow, slightly suffused with purplish fuscous, except the costa and apex ; cilia slightly 
darker towards outer angle. Hind wing pale yellow. 
Hemonia dulcicula, Swinh. (Plate CLVIII. fig. 15.) 
Hemonia dnlcicula, Sivinlu Trans. Ent. Soc. 1890, p. 183. 
Expanse | inch. 
Head, thorax, and abdomen pale ochreous. Fore wing purplish grey; a bright ochreous 
band from the base along the costa and outer margin. Hind wing pale fuscous; the outer 
margin pale ochreous. 
HOLOCEASPEDON, g. n. 
Antennae and palpi as in Padenia and Garudinia, Moore ; the fore wing is broader, the 
apex more acute, and outer margin straighter, and the costa of hind wing is straighter. Male 
with the apex of hind wing not excised nor with the costal tuft of long hairs to the hind 
wing of Padenia, or the sexual brand on the underside of the fore wing of Garudinia, nor is 
there a costal fold to the fore wing. 
Fore wing with a costal nervurc ; two subcostal branches before the end of the cell ; 
the third from the end and bifid ; a radial from angle of discocellulars ; the lower radial 
and Tipper median branch from the lower end of the cell ; the two lower branches from 
before the end ; submedian nearly straight. 
Hind wing with the costal nervure given off from the subcostal near the end of the cell ; 
the subcostal branches near the apex ; the radial and upper median branch from the lower 
end of the cell ; the two lower branches from before the end ; an internal nervure, but no 
submedian. 
Fore leg with no tibial spine; mid legs with a terminal pair; hind legs with two pairs, 
as in Padenia and Garudinia. 
In Padenia, type transversa, the third subcostal of the fore wing is trifid ; the disco- 
cellulars very short, with the upper median branch in the male springing from the lower 
end of the cell ; the two lower branches arising together from a long way before the end ; 
whilst in the female two median branches arise from the lower end of the cell, the upper 
giving off: the radial before the margin. 
In Garudinia the third subcostal is bifid and there is a radial as in Holocraspedon ; there 
is a bifid median branch from the lower end of the cell, and one branch from before the end 
in both sexes. 
In the hind wing of both Padenia and Garudinia the subcostal is terminated by the 
excision before the bifurcation in the male, and in both sexes a radial and bifid median 
branch arise from the lower end of the cell, and one median branch arises before the end.
