42. Genus: I*seu«losterrlia Warr. 
(See Vol. 16, p. 81.) 
Similar in most characters to Bhodometra, but with flat face, narrow wings and long cells. The costal 
vein of the hindwing, as in that genus, anastomoses strongly with the cell. The type form, described below, 
is Indian; in Africa, perhaps in a differentiable race though certainly very close, it is known as philaearia Brabant 
(= gayneri N. C. Bothsch.). 
Ps. paulula Swinh. (= ochrea Warr.) (23 k). Forewing pale ochreous, with a slender, highly oblique pan lulu. 
and slightly sinuous dark line, which on the underside is weak or almost obsolete; hindwing white, becoming 
tinged with ochreous posteriorly. Swinhoe described fromMhow, Warren from Campbellpur; Deesa (including 
a unicolorous aberration), Gooty and Anantapur are other known Indian localities. Bender Abbas (S. Persia) 
and some localities in Arabia have also produced this species. 
43. Genus: Ithoriometra Meyr. 
(See Vol. 4, p. 153; Vol. 16, p. 82.) 
Face protuberant. Antenna of C strongly pectinate. Hindtibia in both sexes with all spurs. Forewing 
with areole single, ample. Hindwing with costal vein anastomosing strongly with the cell, as in the Larentiinae. 
A predominantly African genus; only the well-known migrant sacraria has occurred in the Indo-Australian 
Region. 
Rh. sacraria L. (= sacralis Thnbg.) (Vol. 4, pi. 6 a). For an account of this migrant the reader is referred sacraria. 
to Vol. 4, p. 153, with some additions in Suppl.-Vol. 4, p. 69. In the Indo-Australian Region it has scarcely 
spread beyond the confines of India itself. The following list of authenticated localities will show the wideness 
of its range, but I have as yet no information regarding its migrations or breeding-stations within the Empire. 
Quetta; Peshawar; Campbellpur; Srinagar; Lyallpur; Firozpur; Mandi; Simla; Sabathu; Dharmsala; Chausa, 
Hheena and Pahara (miles 417 to 499 on the East Indian Railway); Pusa; Darjiling; Karachi; Deesa; Bhuj- 
Kutch; Jabalpur; Belgaum; Gooty; Nilgiris; Ramandravy (S. India); Giant's Tank (Ceylon); Rangoon. Stevens 
(Kelley-Roosevelt expedition) took 3 large specimens in S. W. Szechuan at between 8000 and 9000 feet. - 
ab. labda Cram. (Vol. 4, pi. 6 a). Light brownish rather than yellow, the oblique stripe brown-grey to blackish, labda. 
not rosy. Frequent, especially in the $ sex. Excepting this form, I have no records from the Indo-Austra¬ 
lian Region of any of the named aberrations. 
44. Genus: Anomocentris Meyr. 
Face rounded, nearly smooth. Palpus rather short, rough-scaled. Tongue wanting. Antenna in the 
G pectinate throughout, the branches ending in tufts of long cilia; in the $ ciliate, the cilia about 1. Legs 
slender, tarsi very long, hindtibia with terminal spurs only. Abdomen not crested. Wings with smooth scaling. 
Forewing with cell considerably over %, narrowing at distal end, 1st. discocellular developed; areole simple, 
long; 1st. median arising far from 3rd. radial. Hindwing with cell long, discocellnlars little oblique; costal 
anastomosing with cell to near its end, 2nd. subcostal long-stalked, 1st. median well separate. Only two species 
known; type, crystallota Meyr. Described, on account of the hindwing venation, as Larentiine, but really of 
quite unascertained affinities; possibly they may be found among the Asthena group, which are traditionally 
retained there, but the long cells seem quite inconsistent therewith. Any one of the outstanding characters 
of Anomocentris (in tongue, antenna, legs, venation) can be matched in one or another of the last Sterrhine 
genera, but the ensemble is entirely distinctive. The A genitalia, examined in trissodesma, throw no definite 
light on it: extraordinarily simple (? degenerate); tegumen a thin strip, uncus, gnathos. etc. wanting, valve 
moderately broad, produced to a point at its end; no chitinized anellus. 
A. crystallota Meyr. (24 a). Pattern almost as exceptional as the generic structure. Sexes nearly alike, crystallota. 
the $ somewhat more elongate winged. Carnarvon, W. Australia. 
A. trissodesma Lower (24 a). Smaller, the pattern simpler. Sexes dissimilar, the $ being white. Not trissodesma. 
rare at Broken Hill, New South Wales. 
4. Subfamily: Larentiinae. 
This subfamily, the H ydriomenidae of Meyrick’s and other revisions of the New Zealand and Australian 
faunae, is far more extensive numerically than either of the preceding and more universally distributed, being 
particularly characteristic of New Zealand and well represented in the Hawaiian Islands and the extreme south
