NOTODONTID.E. 
white hairs or hair-like scales, which give the insect a grizzled appearance. Hind wing pale 
hrown. Underside pale reddish brown ; fore wing suffused with fuscous, except inner 
margin ; hind wing with a faint dark postmedial band. Abdomen reddish brown. 
This species at first sight looks like the female of a Liparid allied to Dasychira, but an 
examination of tlie antennte and venation places it in the Notodontidse. S. apicalis has 
similar antennae in the female, but in shape of wing it is nearer S. fagi and alternus. 
Stauropus dentilinea. (Plate CXLI. fig. 10.) 
Expanse 1| inch. 
Female. Antennae simple. Fore wing brownish white, thickly irrorated with dark scales ; 
a less thickly irrorated patch at lower end of cell ; a very obscure inwardly-oblique brown 
submarginal band, with some dark spots on its outer edge in the interspaces from costa to 
first median nervule ; some dark strigse on costa near apex ; a conspicuous denticulate marginal 
black band. Hind wing and underside uniform smoky purplish brown. Head, thorax, and 
abdomen grizzled, the last with some ochreous-brown hairs near base and white ones on anal 
segment. 
Nearest to S, alternus, from which it differs in its smaller size, the presence of the 
denticulate band, and absence of the pale waved postmedial and red-brown maculate sub- 
marginal bands. 
Ichthyura undulata. (Plate CXLI. fig. 3.) 
Expanse 1 inch. 
Female. Fore wing pale cinereous brown, with darker patches near the apex, and from 
below the end of the cell to the inner margin ; three transverse lines, one antemedial out- 
wardly oblique, the other two waved, one halfway between the end of cell and outer margin, 
and joining the antemedial line at inner margin, the other submarginal. Hind wing paler ; 
inner and outer margins slightly darker. Underside paler ; hind wing with a lunule at end 
of cell and postmedial band. Antennae, head, thorax, and abdomen dusky brown. 
Nearest to /. cupreata, Butler ; the bands very differently placed and shaped. 
Ichthyura submarginalis. (Plate CXLI. fig. 5.) 
Expanse 1 inch. 
Female. Fore wing smoky brown, irrorated with darker scales ; some small indistinct 
dark marks towards the end of the cell ; a diffused pale band from apex to inner margin two 
thirds from base, bounded outwardly by a narrow dark band with a pale line beyond it ; a 
series of antecilial dark spots ; cilia pale and dark brown. Hind wing smoky brown ; qilia 
pale, with cilial and antecilial lines. Underside pale brown ; disc of fore wing darker ; a dark 
streak from costa one fourth from apex. Hind wing with indistinct lunule at end of cell and 
postmedial band. Head and thorax pale brown ; abdomen darker.
