198 APISTOSIA; ADREPSA; DOHERTYA; PARADOHERTYA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
P. plagiata Rothsch. Antennae red-brown; forehead reddish-yellow, vertex more brown; thorax yellow¬ 
ish-brown, abdomen yellowish-white. Fore wings reddish yellowish-white, dusted with brown; below the median 
fold a chocolate-brown discal spot and at the cell-end a similar crescent. Hindwings yellowish-white. The 
density of the brown dusting varies very much and may increase to such an extent that the ground-colour 
is scarcely visible; the size of the discal spot varies also much. The $ is much larger, and on the forewing it 
has a broad longitudinal band without any dusting from the base to the discal spot. Length of forewings: <$ 
19 mm, $ 26 mm. Mount Goliath in Dutch New Guinea (February). 
106. Genus: Apistosia Fk. 
Several species in the American fauna, one in China and one in Queensland. The palpi are shorter 
than in the preceding, erect; the abdomen shows lateral tubercles on the first segment. The veins are as in 
the preceding, but on the hindwing the middle radial vein is absent ; antennae show bristly ciliae. 
A. chionora Meyr. (lok). The thorax is white, head, collar and abdomen light yellow, the abdomen 
above with greyish-brown hah’. Forewing silvery-white, at the costal margin narrowly yellow; hindwings light 
yellow. Queensland; New South Wales. 
107. Genus: Adrepsa Moore. 
Proboscis strong; the very short palpi do not project beyond the rounded forehead. Forewing with 
a somewhat produced apex, the 1st median and the lower radial veins rise separately from the cell, the 1st 
radial from below the upper cell-angle; the 2nd to 5th subcostal veins are petioled, without an accessory cell; 
the 1st subcostal vein separately from the cell. On the hindwing the 1st median and 3rd radial, the subcostal 
and 1st radial are petioled, the middle radial vein is absent. 
A. stilboides Moore (26 b). Head and thorax blackish-brown, intermixed with white scales, abdomen 
orange-yellow. Forewing purple-brown, one antemedian and one postmedian row of black dots, also in the 
middle of the cell and at the transverse vein one small black spot each; an antemarginal row of indistinct white 
dots, behind them black marginal dots. Hindwings golden yellow, at the costal margin dusted blackish-brown. 
Assam. 
108. Genus: Doliertya Hmps. 
Very much like Adrepsa, distinguished by the stunted proboscis; male antennae serrate, tibiae with 
long spurs; forewing narrow with a very much curved costal margin and rounded apex; the two lower radial 
veins rise from the same place in the lower cell-angle, the veins being otherwise as in Adrepsa. 
D. cymatophoroides Hmps. has greyish-brown forewings, the discal area suffused with purple-brown, 
with 3 indistinct, lighter, ante- and postmedian and antemarginal transverse lines; in the middle of the cell 
a grey dot, at the transverse vein a grey crescent; at the margin dark brown vein-streaks; body greyish-brown, 
neck and metathorax dark red-brown. Burma. 
109. Genus : Paradohertya B.-Bak. 
Similar to the preceding. Head smooth, antennae finely ciliated. Middle tibiae with 1, posterior tibiae 
with 2 pair of moderately long spurs. On the forewing the two lower radial veins rise on a long footstalk, the 
upper one is absent. The other veins as in the preceding genus. New Guinea. 
P. trifascia B.-Bak. Head white, forehead mixed with chestnut-brown; thorax chestnut-brown, shoulder- 
covers with white apices; abdomen greyish-brown; legs chestnut-brown, tibiae curled white. Forewing silvery 
white with 3 broad chestnut-brown transverse bands, the two distal ones in the middle flawed towards the base. 
Hindwing light reddish-brown, near the base somewhat diaphanous. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. From the 
Aroa River.
