LASIOCAMPIDiE. 
base smoky. Hind wing fuscous. Underside fuscous, the inner margin of fore wing and 
hind wing paler ; a dark lunula at the end of the cell of each wing. Antennae and head 
dusky ; thorax and abdomen white, the latter tinged with olive- green.

LASIOCAMPID^. 
Apona plumosa, Moore. (Plate CXLII. fig. 12.) 
Apona plumosa, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1872, p. 579. 
Expanse, $ 4 inches. 
Female. Antennaj less heavily plumed than in the male. Wings of a more uniform 
mouse-brown ; the submarginal band on fore wing outwardly bounded by a dark-brown 
instead of a red-brown line ; medial band on both wings followed by another indistinct 
band. Hind wing with an extra band before the submarginal one. 
Eupterote flavia. (Plate CXLII. fig. 10.) 
Expanse 2^ inches. 
Male. Allied to E. mollis, from which it differs in being of a much duller yellow ; in 
having all the markings brown instead of red-brown ; a series of spots immediately beyond 
the straight postmedial band, of wliich spots four are present on the fore wing, one on each 
side of first discoidal, and one on each side of first median nervule, the ones on hind wing 
obsolescent ; this series is followed by a waved band across both wings ; this series of spots 
and waved band replace the two indistinct waved bands parallel to outer margin of E. mollis, 
which start from a red patch with two white spots on it on the costa of fore wing near apex ; 
a patch of brown on the cilia below apex. Underside without any of the red of E. mollis ; 
the markings more obscure ; the straight postmedial band of hind wing is continuous with 
that of fore wing, instead of starting from costa of hind wing outside the point where the 
band of fore wing reaches the inner margin. 
Eupterote rufodisca. (Plate CXLII. fig. 11.) 
Expanse 2 1 inches. 
Male. Fore wing : basal area bright yellow, with a narrow waved brown band ; costal 
and median areas red-brown, with six narrow waved bands ; exterior area bright yellow, with 
a series of small spots on the nervulesj a submarginal narrow waved band, with two 
subapieal white lunules placed on it ; two black spots, one between first and second median 
nervules, the other larger in the interno-median area. Hind wing bright yellow ; four 
narrow indistinct waved bands across basal area ; a straight medial band ; a series of spots
