band of the hindwing, in the shape of a pulvinate or velvety spot. This scent-spot, however, is of a different 
shape in every species, so that it would be very easy to establish a separate genus for each species, particularly 
where also the antennae deviate. Nothing is known of the life-history; the genus contains only small butter¬ 
flies and is confined to the Indo-Australian district. 
D. albicosta Hmps. (18 k). Forewings violettish-grey, costa and border irregularly whitish. The albicosta. 
brownish-grey forewing exhibits a circular scent-spot near the anal angle. South India and Ceylon. — In aurantii- aurantii- 
picta noin. nov. (= ah. 1 Hmps.) this light border of the wing is spotted orange-yellow; from Bali. pula. 
D. flavicostata Snell. (= c-ostata Moore, flavicosta Hmps.) (18 k) is quite similar to albicosta, but flavicostata. 
without the scent-spot in the hindwing, and the $ antennae are almost plain; otherwise the marking 
and colouring is the same as in albicosta. Likewise from South India and Ceylon, but it is besides distributed 
across parts of Indo-China and the Malayan Archipelago. 
D. trichophora Hmps. is coloured just like the preceding, but the light border of the forewing is some- trichophora. 
what broader; besides, however, there are long, stiff scent-hairs at the proximal margin of the forewing, and 
a scent-curl in the anal part of the hindwing. Pulo-Laut and Bali; found by Doherty. 
D. pectinifer Hmps. Likewise coloured and marked exactly like flavicostata, but the antennal teeth pectinifer. 
of the $ longer and the scent-organ forms a fur-stripe along the proximal margin of the hindwing. Pulo-Laut. 
D. rufidisca Hmps. (13 a). Costal and distal margins very broad and sinuate bone-wliite, so that rufidisca. 
the somewhat lighter violettish-grey ground-colour of the forewings appears very much confined. From the 
Khasia Mountains (Assam). 
D. annulata Hmps. The wings are more unicolorous, the forewing without the light costal-marginal annulata. 
stripe, but with finely dentate transverse lines; recognizable by the somewhat longer palpi and the rather long 
pinnated antennae. Ground-colour of the forewing brownish-grey; $ hindwing without a distinct scent-fur. 
Sumbawa. 
D. fumipennis Hmps. (18 1). Violettish-grey, at the costa of the forewing only spot-like traces of the fumipennis. 
bone-coloured costal stripe; in the $ the light costal spot is more distinct, and the head and tegulae are whitish, 
Nilghiri Plateau; discovered by Hampson. 
D. aspersa Wkr. ( — xylinoides Wkr.). Shape of a Lithosia; greyish-brown, the forewings rather aspersa. 
longish, across the middle runs a dark stripe being angled behind the cell. In some specimens the forewing 
is so intensely dusted with dark that this line is little prominent (= ab. 1 Hmps.). Indo-China and Sunda Islands. 
8. Genus : Capriitiimories Rothsch. 
Differs from Diduga by the very long, filiform antennae and by the veins 6 and 7 on the hindwing not 
being petioled, but rising separately from the cell. 
C. mimetica Rothsch. antennae, head and thorax black. Forewings black; a large golden spot mimetica. 
occupies the largest part of the basal half, and a large, light chestnut-coloured spot occupies the greatest part 
of the apical half; a white median spot on the fringes. Hindwing in the basal two fifths semi-diaphanous golden 
yellow, with a sooty slatecoloured hue over it, the distal three fifths black. Length of forewings: 14 mm. Oetakwa 
River, Dutch New Guinea, October, November. This very peculiar animal is an exact imitation of Caprim. 
postvitrea. 
9. Genus: Heterallaetis Meyr. 
B antennae finely ciliated, tibiae with long spurs, forewings strap-shaped, costal and proximal margins 
almost parallel. Apex and anal angle of the forewing entirely indistinct. Yellow, fore wing in the distal third 
violettish-grey. 2 species in the Australian district. 
H. aroa B.-Bak. (18 k). Forewing yolk-coloured with a large violettish-brown distal spot and a aroa. 
dark base, hindwing yellow Avith a broad, violettish-grey border. New Guinea. 
H. euchrysa Meyr. is coloured like aroa, but the violettish-brown distal spot of the forewing is narrower euchrysa. 
band-shaped, and the hindwings are not so broadly margined with dark. Queensland.
