91. Genus: J®aclenfa Moore. 
Proboscis well developed; the porrect palpi project somewhat yet beyond the forehead, male antennae 
ciliated. Forewing with a curved costal margin; in the the median veins rise close together, in the $ separately 
in the former the two lower radial veins are coalescent, in the $ they rise on a long footstalk; the 1st radial 
is petioled with the two lower subcostal veins, the 3rd subcostal vein is absent; the d shows beneath a very 
broad costal fold. Very peculiar are the $ hindwiogs: the costal margin is very concave a’"d provided with 
long hair, the apex very much and deeply excised; the 1st median and 3rd radial are petioled, the subcostal 
and 1st radial in the $ likewise; in the <$ the latter are coalescent. Several small species, nearly all recently 
discovered in New Guinea, with white, brown-banded forewings. 
P. bifasciata Fldr. (= transversa Wkr.) (16 a as transversa) has a more yellowisli-white ground-colour, 
the costal margin is purple-black as far as the first transverse line, like the transverse lines themselves; the 
anterior line is slightly angled in the cell. Ceylon, Andamans. — latifasciata subsp. nov. (= subsp. 1 Hmps.) 
from the Nilgiris has much broader, more distinctly angled transverse bands. -— fa. duplicana Wkr. (16 a) differs 
from the preceding by its purely white ground-colour, coppery transverse bands, the anterior one of which 
runs more obliquely and is not angled. Burma, Borneo, Sumatra, Java. Hampson took this animal to be a 
distinct species, but according to Snellen it is merely a variety, since there occur transitions. 
P. sordida Rothsch. Head and antennae dirty brownish-white; thorax and abdomen slate-coloured, 
the large anal tuft is brownish-white. Forewing dirty brownish-white, a curved, narrow antemedian transverse 
line and a flawed postmedian line are dull buff. Hindwings light drab. Length of forewings: 12 1 / 2 mm. Malayan 
Peninsula. 
P. bizone Rothsch. Antennae brown, head and thorax snow-white; apex of shoulder-covers and a 
large spot on the thorax are light buff, the abdomen wood-brown. Forewing snow-white, a median and a sub- 
apical oblique transverse band are golden bronze, the median one being very broad at the proximal margin 
and growing abruptly narrow at the median fold. Hindwing snow-white, distal margin brownish-drab. Length 
of forewings: 8 1 / 2 to 9 1 / 2 mm. Collingwood Bay (Brit. New. Guinea). 
P. violinitens Rothsch. Antennae brown, head and thorax snow-white, middle of shoulder-covers 
and metathorax coppery brown, abdomen blackish-brown. The basal two thirds of the forewing are snow-white; 
an oblique median band and the apical third are metallic coppery, the latter is traversed by a subapical white 
line. Hindwing at the base white, somewhat transparent, at the margin dirty grey. Length of forewings: 8 mm. 
Kumusi Blver (North East British New Guinea). 
P. unifascia Rothsch. Antennae brown, head snow-white; thorax light chestnut-brown; collar, base 
of shoulder-covers, and prothorax white. Abdomen reddish-yellow. The costal margin of the white forewing 
is yellow; an oblique median band, a spot below the cell and the distal margin are chestnut-brown. Hindwings 
Isabel-coloured. Length of forewings: lO 1 /*, to ll 1 /, mm. Biagi (British New Guinea). 
P. plagosus Rothsch. Antennae dark brown, forehead reddish-yellow, vertex white. Thorax olive-grejq 
collar and base of shoulcler-covers white, abdomen Isabel-coloured. Forewing yellowish-white with a yellow 
costal margin blackened at the base; 2 antemedian spots and one at the margin are olive-grey; a clouded post- 
median band is brownish-grey. Hindwings reddish-yellow. Length of forewings: 10 mm. Biagi on the Mambare 
River (British New Guinea). 
P. bifasciatus Rothsch. Antennae light brown, head and thorax snow-white; basal half of the shoulder- 
covers and mesothorax bronze-golden; abdomen greyish-white. The white forewing shows an oblique, ante- 
median transverse band and an undulate postmedian band of a golden bronze colour. Hindwings yellowish- 
white. Length of forewings: 12 1 / 2 mm. Aroa River, British New Guinea. 
92. Genus: Cyelosodes Hmps. 
Proboscis fully developed, palpi delicate, oblique, projecting yet a little beyond the forehead; $ antennae 
ciliated, tibiae with long spurs, $ with a large anal tuft. Fore wing short, broad, the costa very convex, apex 
rounded; vein 2 at its rise curved; 3 rises before the angle, 4 and 5 on a strong footstalk; 6 and 7 the same; 
8 and 9 are absent; 10 and 11 separately from the cell. On the hindwing 2 rises towards the cell-angle; 
3 anastomoses with 4, 5 rises somewhat above the angle, 6 and 7 on a long footstalk, 8 from the middle of 
the cell. 
C. flavicosfata Hmps. $ head dark brown, tegulae and patagia ochreous-yellow, thorax brown, 
abdomen dark brown with a light anal tuft. Forewing silky red-brown, costa and tibiae ochreous yellow. Hind¬ 
wings dark brown. 20 mm. Described according to a <$. Borneo.
