N. albomaculata B.-Balc. (85 e). body red-brown, abdomen with an orange tint. Wings brown, with albo- 
a series of light grey or yellowish lunules at 4 / 5 , behind which the forewing is greyer excepting a marginal mu.cnJaia. 
spot below the apex. A round yellowish spot at the cell-end of the forewing and an oblong one at the costal 
margin at the apex, the latter spot traversed by the brown border of the series of yellowish lunules. Expanse 
of wings: 46 mm. Dinawa, August. 
N. aroa B.-Bak. (85 e). Body brown, abdomen orange. Forewing red-brown, the light spot at the cell- aroa. 
end is traversed by a whitish transverse band which is strongly widened at the costal margin; apical spot and 
marginal area as in the preceding species, but at % a double light sharply dentate undulate line bordered with 
dark outside. Hindwing orange-brown, with a dark antemedian transverse stripe and 4 sharply dentated 
transverse lines; margin broadly darkened. Expanse of wings: 48 mm. Aroa River. 
N. tenebrkosa sp. n. (87 e). The $ is most closely allied to albomaculata (85 e), but easily discernible lenebricosa. 
from it by the absence of the light costal-marginal spot. Body brownish ochreous, abdomen somewhat lighter, 
tarsi and tibiae black. Shortly before the margin of both wings there is a row of yellow crescents about parallel 
to the margin; these crescents may be very broad or almost absent. Veins often lighter than the ground. Fore¬ 
wing with a large roundish yellowish spot at the cell-end, traversed by the cross-vein. Beneath as above, markings 
paler. Expanse of wings: 52—75 mm. $ type and 4 paratypes in the Zook Museum of Berlin, from the Kaiserin 
Augusta River, September till November. 
2. Genus: Alippa Aur. 
Separated from all the other genera of this family by vein 8 of hindwing being bent towards vein 7 
and touching it distally to the cell. Palpi appressed upcurved. Antenna of bipectinate in the basal half, then 
serrate. Hind tibia with 2 pair of spurs. Vein 6 of forewing arises together with the stalked veins 7—9, 10 and 
11 separately from the cell. 6 and 7 of hindwing arise from the same basis. 
A. arsomala Aur. Body brown, base of palpus and anterior hips blackish, abdomen white beneath, anomala. 
Wings pale fawn. Forewing with a brown transverse band subbasally and after the centre, a brown spot be¬ 
tween them at the costal margin, the other space between them ash-grey, with a black transverse line. A sub¬ 
terminal row of whitish spots shaded with black inside. Markings of hindwing similar, transverse bands nearer 
together. Expanse of wings: 30—32 mm. Java. 
3. Genus: Cheromettia Mr. 
Antenna of $ long bipectinated in the basal quarter, then suddenly bare. Palpi short, porrect. Hind- 
tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. Body with projecting hairs. 7—-9 of forewing stalked, 10 separated, 6 -f- 7 of hind¬ 
wing stalked, 8 anastomosing with the cell near the base. The $$ of the species are extremely similar and 
not to be distinguished, the rS'o are very different. 
Ch. ferruginea Mr. (85 e, f). and $ similar. Body and forewing purple brownish-red interstrewn with ferruginea. 
lilac grey colour edging the darker dentate antemedian band and forming a narrow crescent at the cross-vein, 
a large pear-shaped spot extended to the inner margin below it and some other spots at the costal margin. 
Marginal area somewhat paler. A group of jet-black spots at the apex, a similar one in the fringe, at the cross¬ 
vein and the tornus. Hind wing reddish-yellow, margin (somewhat convex also in the A) with black spots at 
the apex and tornus. Expanse of wings: 30—40 mm. — Larva limacida-like, pale bluish-green, with several 
rows of yellow and black spots. Ceylon. 
Ch. nielli sp. n. (85 f). Body rust-brown with a light purple tint. Forewing pale yellow, more or less melli. 
dusted with purple brown. A large brownish-red spot at the cross-vein, the dusting behind it condensed into 
2 or 3 transverse bands, the subapical one of which is broadest. Margin with brown border-streaks; hindwing 
light red, with a golden yellow marginal line and fringe. Underside golden yellow at the margin, the rest light 
red. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Kwangtung. $ type from Sahmgong, taken by Dr. Mell in May (Berlin State 
Museum). 
Ch. apicata Mr. (= laleana Air.) (85 f). $ with narrower rust-brown forewings, with a blackish in- apicata. 
distinct antemedian and postmedian transverse band. Apex black. Hindwing blackish, scantily scaled, with 
yellow fringe. Body red-brown. Expanse of wings: 25—30 mm. $ not discernible from that of ferruginea. 
North India. 
Ch. lohor Mr. (85 f). $ forewing similar as in the preceding species, but narrower rust-brown, with lolior. 
a darker basal area, bordered by a somewhat undulated median line, a similar postmedian line. Cross-vein
