Genus EURYSTAURA nov. 
(PI. IX, figs. 5-9.) 
Type brunnea spec. nov. 
cJ, $. Proboscis absent; palpi very short, hardly reaching frons, obliquely 
upturned in <$, in $ nearly porrect; first joint somewhat curved and shorter 
than second joint, which is a little thicker at middle; third joint about half of 
second; palpi thickly covered with hairs and scales and with a tuft of hairs 
and scales on front of first joint; frons oblique and with a tuft of long hairs; 
eyes smooth, rather large, elliptical; antenna short, less than half of costa, 
curved downwards and with a tuft of hairs in front of first joint, bipectinated 
for fth, when it becomes serrate; pecten in about 6 times shaft, in $ a little 
over once the shaft; thorax and abdomen without crests; femora with long 
hairs on inner side, tibiae of mid and hind legs with long hairs on outer side, 
tibia of fore leg with shorter hairs; fore tibia with an almost straight process, 
not quite reaching end of tibia; mid tibia with two, hind tibia with four spurs; 
longest spur nearly as long as first tarsal joint of hind leg; outer spurs a little 
longer than half of inner spur; all spurs covered with hairs except at the tip, 
which is sharply pointed and curved, but without any teeth; tarsi with hairs 
and scales but no spines. Fore wing moderately broad, a little less than half; 
costa slightly hollow at middle, well arched towards apex, which is somewhat 
rounded; termen oblique; tornus somewhat rounded; inner margin curved 
near base ; i b nearly straight, indistinctly forked at base ; 2 from nearly fth 
lower median; 3 from beyond frd 2 to 4; 4 from lower angle; 5 from middle of 
discocellulars which are nearly erect at lower half and inwardly oblique at 
upper half; 6 very slightly stalked with stalk of 7, 8, 9, 10, stalk from upper 
angle; 7 from stalk beyond half the distance upper angle to apex; 9 from middle 
of free part of 8; 10 from middle of stalk 8, 9; 11 from upper median beyond 
fth; 12 parallel to upper median, then straight to costa. Hind wing semi- 
circular; costa slightly bulged at middle; apex rounded; termen very oblique, 
slightly sinuate, especially between 1 b and 2; tornus well rounded; inner 
margin rather short, straight ; 1 a and 1 b straight ; 2 from well beyond middle 
of lower median ; 3 from frd 2 to 4; 4 from lower angle ; 5 very weak, almost 
absent, and from a little above middle of discocellulars, which are erect and 
somewhat curved ; 6 and 7 on a stalk of nearly half of 6 ; 8 from upper median 
a little beyond middle. 
This genus differs from Stenostaura in the stouter build, in having four spurs 
on the hind legs, in veins 3 and 4 of fore wing being remote and 6 from stalk at 
base, while in the hind wing 3 and 4 are also remote and not stalked. 
Eurystaura Brunnea spec. nov. 
(PL XIV, fig. 11 ; PI. IX, figs. 5-9.) 
$. Head, palpi at sides, patagia, thorax and abdomen above and on 
under side and ground colour of fore wing on upper side sayal -brown (xiv), 
irrorated with kaiser-brown (xiv) ; tegulae, part of fore wing except along costa 
as far as upper median, a streak from lower median and vein 2 till plical fold, 
and inner marginal area as far as 1 b very thickly tinged with clove-brown (xl) ; 
sub-basal, antemedial and medial lines almost obsolete and only indicated by 
some light dashes of ground colour on costa and some dark scaling on veins; 
a rounded patch of ground colour just before discocellulars, traversed by a 
narrow fairly distinct part of the medial line, angled inwards at discal fold;
