Subgenus Epicopiopsis Griinb. 
Streaks of scales between the veins are wanting; 5 th nervure of the subcostal of the forewings very 
near to the upper radial (mencia) or even forked with this vein (hainesi). Hindwings distinctly tailed. 
E. mencia Moore (Vol. 2, pi. 10a). Abdomen black, the cd ringed with red beneath. Forewings fairly 
deep blackish grey, with black veins; hindwings deeper especially in the cf. Between the neighbourhood of 
the tails and the anal angle there are two rows of submarginal red spots, which can be coalesced to form a 
large anal spot. In the ? these spots are smaller paler and the inner row especially tend to become yellow. 
Larva on an elm, which is designated by the missionaries as the Chinese or small leaved elm. Its skin, which 
is of a black color, disappears under a cover of whitish wax-like dust, which is~ easily removed by rubbing, 
but quickly reforms. Acording to E. Haldsworth this larva reaches a length of 6 cm and pupates in October: 
it draws together several leaves, between which the pupa is formed covered with a thick coating of the wax¬ 
like powder; the imagines appear in June.
