ANARBUDAS; THAUMASTOPHLEPS; TRYPANOPHORA. By Dr. K. Jordan. 
10. Genus: Anarbuclas gen. nov. 
Similar to Arbudas, but forewing with only 3 subcostal veins, all arising from the cell or the 
3. stalked with the 1. radial. Name-type: insignis. — Malayan, northwards to Hainan. 
insignis. A. insignis spec. nov. (2 c). d ¥: body and antenna above brown-black, slightly bluish, thorax paler, 
under surface dirty yellow-grey, antenna in d and ¥ pectinated. Wings above brown-black, ferewing with 
clay-yellow vein-stripes, a transverse band of the same colour, which runs from the costal margin beyond 
the end of the cell as far as the hinder angle, has irregular edges and encloses some brown-black dots; 
distallv to this band a clay-yellow curved line, posteriorly contiguous to it; a spot behind the cell proximally 
to the middle. Hindwing unicolorous brown-black, slightly purple. Under surface paler than the upper, 
forewing with the band brighter yellow. 2. and 3. radials of the forewing from the cell, 1. subcostal more 
proximal than the 2. median. Length of the forewing 12—15 mm. — Hainan. 
bipartita. A. bipartita Walk. (2 c). Occiput and upperside of the abdomen yellow. Forewing slate-colour, the 
veins and 3 irregnlar transverse lines yellowish grey. Hindwing yellow, a marginal band, very broad an¬ 
teriorly, black. 1. subcostal of the forewing more distal than the 2. median, 1. and 2. radials stalked. Last 
but one dorsal segment of the d emarginate; the last broadly truncate, the edges thickened; anal clasper 
short, with thickened, granulated margin. — Borneo; Singapore; Malacca. 
aequalis. A. aequalis spec. nov. Very similar to the preceding species in colouring; much smaller, occiput 
entirely yellowish grey, pronotum yellow. Distal margin of the forewing more rounded, the posterior part 
of the two distal grey transverse lines more proximal; marginal band of the hindwing much broader, occupying 
half the wing, the inner margin of the band almost straight. Basal third of the forewing beneath greyish 
yellow. Neuration as in bipartita. Anal segment (of the d) produced in the middle and emarginate; clasper 
less thickened than in bipartita , dorsally produced into two long thin processes, lying close to one another, the 
lower of which is pointet, whilst the upper is rounded at the tip. I d in the British Museum from Malacca. 
11. Genus: Thaumastoplileps gen. nov. 
Frons very feebly concave. Antenna with long pectinations, also in the ¥. Spurs of the tibiae very 
short. Neuration peculiar: in the forewing the cell spatulate, the edges touching one another in the basal 
half, the 1. and 2. subcostals from the cell, the 3. wanting, the 4. and 5. stalked, the 1. radial branching off 
proximally from this stalk, the 2. and 3. from the lower angle of the cell, the two medians far before the 
angle of the cell, the 1. submedian bent proximally to the middle, at this place a transverse vein connects 
the 1. submedian with the 2. and with the cell: hindwing small, no free subcostal, 1. radial wanting, 2. and 
3. from the lower angle of the cell, I. and 2. medians far before the apex of the cell. — Papuan: one species. 
expansa. T. expansa Walk. (2 c). Body yellow, vertex, middle of the upperside of the thorax, coxae and the 
abdomen with the exception of the edges purple. Margins and veins of the wings purple-brown; forewing 
with yellow spot at the base, a yellow subbasal streak between the two submedian veins, and 5 or 6 vitreous 
patches. Hindwing with the exception of the margins vitreus, or with 3 vitreous spots. — Mysol; New Guinea. 
12. Genus: Trypauopliora KoU. 
Head broad, frons convex, but only moderately projecting. Palpi small. Antenna in the-cf with long 
pectinations, those in the middle the longest, in the ¥ the distal pectinations longer than the proximal ones. 
Forewing elongate; 1. and 2. subcostals from the cell, 3.—5. stalked, the 5. placed proximally to the 3. or 
branching off from the same point, 1. radial often from the subcostal stalk, 2. and 3. radials from the cell 
or stalked. Hindwing much smaller than forewing, costa partly anastomosed with the cell, 1. radial present 
or absent, the posterior margin of the cell oblique at the apex. - Larva polyphagous; narrowed posteriorly, 
an elongated tubercle at each side of the prothorax. Ground-colour variable, mostly red-brown or black, 
more rarely olive-green, beneath lighter than above, often yellow. Pupa in a firm white or yellowish or 
reddish cocoon, duration of the pupal stage variable, from 11 days to 5 months (Piepers). — The insects 
are partly very common at lower elevations, in North India occuring up to 2000 ft., but ascending higher 
in Kashmir; they are fond of resting on leaves and are easy to catch. Indo-Malayan, distributed from Ceylon and 
Kashmir to the Philippines and the Lesser Sunda Islands (beyond the Wallace line), not yet known from Celebes. 
T. semihyalina. Abdomen with yellow bands. Forewing greenish black, near the base a vitreous 
spot or a band of such spots, a very large vitreous patch on the disc, composed of many spots. Hindwing 
with 2 yellowish spots a the costal margin and usually a vitreous patch at the base and another, mostly 
composed of 3 spots, below the apex of the cell. India; South China. Larva on Tenninalia, red-brown, 
the tubercles black, those on the sides red, beneath and in front laterally yellow. Cocoon reddish, somewhat
