By L. B. Protjt. 
G. (?) anticleata Moore is still more aberrant in structure, though somewhat like a large subfalcata in 
markings; but until I have seen more specimens, and particularly the <$, I do not feel inclined to create a genus 
for it. Both wings with the termen crenulate, forewing with the excision even more pronounced than in sub- 
fulcata; a r e o 1 e si m pie; hindwing with the 3rd discocellular strongly oblique, but without an appreciable 
angle at the origin of the 2nd radial. Palpus characteristically Gonanticlea , at least 2 y 2 . “Forewing with sub- 
basal. double antemedial and medial slightly waved lines, the last become treble below [behind] vein 4; a post- 
medial line from the costa to vein 4. Hindwing unmarked except for a dark marginal line" ( Hampson, who 
- deceived by Moore's describing it as an Endropial --- apparently did not examine the structure and morely 
transferred it, together with “ Endropia ’’ basipuncta Moore, to Leptomiza). We hope to obtain, for one of our 
supplementary plates, a figure of the unique type, a Darjiling $. 
19. Genus: Anticlea Steph. 
This genus — or generic name, type species derivata Schiff. — has been scarcely at all recognized by 
recent systematists, though Pierce revived it, on account of some differences (in the genitalia) from Earophila 
(type badiata Schiff.). with which it has much in common; both belong to the “calcar"’’-bearing group of genera, 
but not to the Xanthorhoe division, which bears coremata on the 7th segment. From Earophila it differs in the 
non-crenulate hindwing, but this is rarely of generic importance. Face rounded, without tuft. Palpus rather 
short. Antenna simple. Hindwing elongate, with discocellulars biangulate. In Vol. 4 (p. 243) I left it with 
the comprehensive Coenotephria, which should have involved supplanting my name by Stephens’s, but it 
seems somewhat isolated (see Suppl.-Vol. 4, p. 144). Its occurrence in the Indo-Australian Region is quite problem¬ 
atical . 
A. canaliculata Warr. (27 d). Described in this genus but of quite uncertain affinities and as Hampson’s 
transference to Dysstroma is inacceptable I quote it here. Face, antenna, venation, etc., as in the genotype, 
palpus rather less short, scaling less glossy. Sikkim, very rare. I figure a large $ form Vrianatong, Tibet. 
20. Genus: Mesoleuca Hbn. 
(See Vol. 4, p. 253.) 
Another small group for which it is not easy to give a rigid taxonomic differentiation. Evidently related 
to Anticlea , agreeing in most restpects, but with denser scaling, hindwing not elongate, discocellulars less bi¬ 
angulate, i. e. the 2nd radial originating considerably nearer to the cell-fold. Genotype: albicillata L. In its 
most restricted sense it is purely Holarctic, but if it embraces also mandschuricata Brern. the two species dealt 
with below must lokewise be referred here. 
M. bimacularia Leech (Vol. 4. pi. 7 f). Evidently related to mandschuricata (Vol. 4. pi. 10 b), similar in 
shape, dark basal and midcostal blotches and form of the white subterminal line, but larger, predominantly 
brown instead of whitish. W. China, the type from Ta-tsien-lu. 
M. costipannaria Moore (27 d). Still nearer to mandschuricata , agrreeing in size, or smaller, but with 
the brown colouring of bimacularia. which may be a giant form of it. Distal margins, especially of hindwing, 
somewhat more sinuous than in mandschuricata; basal patch not or scarcely indented; outer white line slender, 
very near termen; median band scarcely defined. Sikkim (type), W. China and Formosa. 
21. Genus: Trielioplites Warr. 
(See Suppl.-Vol. 4, p. 158.) 
Face nearly smooth, rounded. Palpus short or quite moderate. Antenna simple. Forewing with areole 
double; in the A on the underside with a ridge of hair or uniformly appressed-haired; in the A? also, so far as 
known, mixed with hair beneath. Hindwing with discocellulars biangulate or simple. A small genus, belonging 
almost exclusively to the N. E. Himalayas and the mountains of W. China. Genotype: cuprearia Moore. 
A. Section: F o r e w i n g of d beneath without definite ridge of h a i r. 
T. lateritiata Moore (= cupreiformis Hmps., M. S.) (27 d). Moore’s type, in the Berlin Museum, is an 
aberrant $, with rather more mottling, the white subterminal spots browner, less conspicuous, but probably 
belongs with the <$S which have been thus identified. Sikkim. Very similar to cuprearia except in the A sexual 
characters; antemedian line more curved. Discocellulars biangulate. 
T. latifasciaria Leech (Vol. 4, pi. 13 c). Founded on a $ from Wa-shan, in which the discocellulars are 
not at all biangulate. but as a few AA with them biangulate are exceedingly similar to it, it is just possible that 
the character may here vary. A somewhat paler from “W. China" (with the space between basal and median
