53. Genus: Udaspes Mr. 
Closely allied to the preceding genera, but the costal margin of the forewing is much shorter, the distal 
margin particularly in the apical part very strongly curved. The white spots of the forewing are considerably 
augmented, the band divided into 3 spots, instead of the tiny dots in the distal part there are larger white 
spots, and a very large white spot occupies in the Indian species the whole disc of the hindwing. The larva 
is very similar to that of the preceding genus, it also lives on monocotyledons, and the lepidopteron is widely 
distributed and varies considerably even at the same habitat. As to further particulars about the genus cf. 
Vol. I, p. 353. 
U. folus Cr. (175 a). This lepidopteron has already been dealt with by Mabille in Vol. I, because 
it also occurs in the palearctic region in North West Himalaya; it is figured, however, in this volume, since 
it is a real Indian lepidopteron. Typical specimens occur in the greatest part of India and extend from Sik¬ 
kim to Hainan and Formosa, and to the south to Java and Sumatra. — cicero F. refers (according to Frith- 
storfer) to specimens from South India and Ceylon, in which the subapical spots and the median ones are 
more homogeneous, whereas the insect itself is smaller than specimens from Malacca, South China etc. — Larva 
green with a black head, on yellow ginger (Curcuma) and on Fagrasa racemosa. The pupa has a long snout- 
like apex of the head, it is very slender and fastened on a leaf of the food-plant with few threads. The imago 
is rather common in many districts. 
54. Genus : lima Swh. 
/ 
Established for a species having already been described by Plotz as Lynchnuchus Hb. The slender 
antennae are two thirds of the length of the costal margin, with a long, apically bent club; the palpi being 
upturned to the vertex are thickly haired, with an obtuse apex; the abdomen projects a little beyond the 
hindwing. Forewing with an oblique distal margin, a rather produced apex, and straight hind-margin. Distal 
margin of hindwing below the middle somewhat undulating, vein 5 rises from the centre of the cell. 
I. irina Plotz (= jovina Swh.). Monotonously dark olive-brown, palpi beneath white with brown 
hair; forewing with a broad ochreous band from the centre of the costal margin almost to the anal angle, 
being almost equally broad and somewhat excavated towards the base at the submedian; fringes of hindwings 
white. A large species, expanse almost 6 cm; from East Celebes. 
55. Genus: Onriza Wts. 
Allied to the genus Halpe from which it chiefly differs in the <$ scent-organ being formed by a tuft 
of long hair on the hindwing above, where they sprout forth near the base. Only 1 Indo-Chinese species is 
known so far. 
0. meiktila Nic. (171 f) is above blackish-brown, at the base of the hind-margin reddish-yellow with 
a treble spot in the cell-end and 3 postmedian ones behind it near the hind-margin, as well as 3 subapical 
streaks; hindwing suffused with orange-brown excepting the costal margin which exhibits a long liair-peneil 
above. Beneath more yellowish. Burma. 
56. Genus: Astictopterus Fldr. 
The genus has already been dealt with by Mabille in Vol. I, p. 343, because two of the three species 
known also occur in the palearctic region. Besides A. henrici exhibiting above 3 small preapical spots in the 
fore wing and a somewhat rust-coloured tint on the hindwing beneath, all the forms are, at least above, rather 
monotonous dark brown without any marking, so that they are difficult to distinguish. In flying they resemble 
entirely Matapia aria, but already when the insect alights on the blossom we notice that the glaring red eyes 
of aria are absent. 
A. henrici Holl. (Vol. I, pi. 86 h) seems to extend from West China through the southern part of 
China and North-East India to Hainan, from where the type is described. — tomkinianus Fruhst. is much 
smaller. Already in this form the subapical dots of the forewing are very much reduced or have quite disap¬ 
peared; under surface lighter, more finely marbled with grey than in Icada. South Annam, February; Mouson 
Mts., April. — kada Swh., from Assam, is larger, the under surface darker and more monotonous. 
A. jama Fldr. (— melania Plotz) (175b) is above and beneath quite monotonously blackish-brown; 
the under surface exhibits a slightly more reddish reflection than the upper surface. Malacca, Sumatra, Nias.
