79. Genus: Haloia© Wkr. 
This genus contains a small number of little animals with brownish forewings marked white, the hind- 
wings being mostly orange or yellowish. The proboscis is well developed, the erect palpi do not reach the vertex; 
tibiae with long spurs. The veins on the forewing do not offer any peculiarity; the 1st radial comes from below 
the upper cell-angle. On the hindwing the 1st median anastomoses with the 3rd radial, the subcostal and 1st 
radial rise on a joint footstalk. The male antennae are either doubly combed or singly ciliated in tufts. 
H. flavescens Hmps. (16 b) has ochreous-yellowish forewings dusted with brown; the dusting is 
irregular, so that there remain large yellowish spots at the base and in the middle. Hindwings pale brownish 
with yellowish fringes. Khasia Hills. 
H, sejuncta Fldr. (16 c). The forewings are white with three broad, brownish-grey transverse bands; 
behind the middle band there is a black discal dot; the ochreous-yellow fringes ars speckled with brown at 
the apex, in the middle, and at the proximal angle. Hindwing yellowish with a darker postmedian and marginal 
line. Hew South Wales, Victoria. 
H. ophiodes Meyr. (16 c) is a pretty species with dark dentate lines and partly brownish dusting; 
behind the cell there is a spot in the shape of an 8. The ochreous-yellow hindwing shows an undulate, black 
post median line united at the apex with a black apical spot. Victoria. 
H. sinuata Wllgr. ( = anartoides Wh\) resembles the following species; it has a black body, the 
basal joint of the palpus is whitish like a scaly protuberance at the antennal base; anterior body dusted whitish 
(he anal tuft and ventral side orange. Forewing dark reddish brown, mixed with whitish, with irregularly 
dentate, black, grey-tinted subbasal, anterior and posterior transverse lines; a white discal spot; at the margin 
there are fo\ir whitish lunar spots. Hindwing orange with a black marginal band, which is expanded to two 
large black spots at the apex and at the anal angle. Size of sobria. New South Wales. — The larva lives 
on stonerags. 
H. sobria Wkr. (= consolatrix Rosenst., hemichroa Trnr.) (16 d) is very much like sinuata and differs 
by a much narrower black marginal band almost disappearing at the proximal angle. Palpi quite black, 
farinosa ab. nov. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) is more dusted white, and on the anterior body abundantly spotted white. 
Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria. 
H. flavopunctata B.-Bak. Body brown, spotted yellow on the head and thorax. The red-brown forewing 
exhibits three yellow spots at the costal margin and three at the distal margin; also in the discal area there 
is yellow dusting; a black discal spot. Hindwing deep yellow with a broad black marginal band. Expanse of 
wings: 21 to 23 mm. — Dinawa (August); Aroa River. 
H. servilis Meyr. (14 1) has greyish-brownish forewings with blackish, dentate transverse lines, a 
white discal spot, the fringes speckled black and white. Hinclwing greyish-brownish, towards the base paler. 
New South Wales. 
H. diffusifascia Sivinh. (14 1). The grey forewings are very much dusted brown and marked black. 
Hindwings brownish. Khasia Hills in Assam. 
H. flavinigra Hmps. Head, thorax and abdomen are blackish-brown, vertex, antennal shaft and 
collar are yellow. Forewing orange-yellow with an irregular oblique distal bordering; a.black, postmedian, 
somewhat dentate band is inwardly flawed below the cell; before the margin faded, blackish-brownish dusting. 
Hindwings pale blackish-brown. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. — South India (Palni Hills). 
80. Genus: Meliosfa Hmps. 
Differs from the preceding genus by its tibiae with shorter spurs and the 1st median being petioled 
with the 3rd radial on the forewing. Male antennae ciliated. 
H. jucunda Wkr. (= transitana Wkr.) (16 c) has orange-yellow forewings, with a black base and a 
black, slightly dentate median and submedian transverse band. Hindwing orange with a black marginal band, 
fringes orange. Queensland and New South Wales. 
H. monosticta Hmps. (14 1) is a small species with straw-coloured forewings, a darker costal margin and 
a black discal spot; at the margin there are single black dots. Hindwings brownish with yellowish-white fringes. 
Borneo (Pulo Laut).
