E. acanthocera Hmps. (17 a as accepta). Forewings orange-yellow, hindwings lighter. This small acanthocera.

E. annulata Hmps. (17 1) is still smaller than grisea and easily recognizable by not showing a discal annulatn.

marginal dentate transverse line. Calcutta. 
E. puncticosta Hmps. Forewing reddish-brown, the costal margin blackish towards the base; in the pundicosta. 
middle of the costal margin a blackish-brown dot, behind it a stripe-shaped spot. Hindwing lighter reddish-

E. accepta Btlr. looks entirely like acanthocera, but the <$ antennae are normal and plainly ciliated, accepta. 
The forewings are beneath dusted with brownish. Borneo.

62. Genus: Pliacusosia Rothsch. 
This genus is based upon a single, rather large, dark species from New Guinea, with orange spots on 
the thorax and hyaline spots in the forewings. It is described as follows. 
P. grandis Rothsch. $ with black antennae, head deep orange, a frontal spot and one on the posterior grandis. 
half of the vertex black; thorax black with one deep orange spot in front and behind: the tegulae deep orange, 
bordered Avith black; patagia with a deep orange basal part, otherwise black; abdomen deep orange, the anal 
segment and the borders of the basal segment black. ForeAA r ing black with a purple reflection, the internerval 
spaces of a lighter sooty grey; cell and a spot beloAv the median transparent and similar spots on veins 4, 5 
and 6. Hindwings black, with a strong pimple reflection; the two basal thirds of the costal area of a ivooden- 
grey colour, below the median a hyaline streak. Length of forewings: 22 mm. From Mt. Goliath, in July; 
Dutch New Guinea, at altitudes of 5000 to 7000 ft., taken in March. 
63. Genus: difoitaema H.-Schdff. 
One of the most multiform groups distributed far beyond Indo-Australia, extending partly also into the 
palearctic region and occurring also in Tropical Africa. By far most of the characteristic representatives are 
exteriorly easy to distinguish by their white ground-colour with red transverse stripes often bordered with 
black; only a comparatively small part shows different characters of the colouring. They are mostly com¬ 
paratively large, very conspicuous animals. The proboscis is Avell developed, the palpi usually straightly
