serrate towards the end. 
B. horrida Wkr. (= formosaensis Kaw.) (86 a). Forewing blackish mixed with brown, cross-vein with 
a hyaline luna, an indistinct light postmedian line behind which the marginal area between veins 3 and 6 is

cardinalis. 
jrancesca. 
Distinguished by a clear sexual dimorphism. Antenna of £ strongly pectinated in the basal third, 
palpi short porrect. 7 of forewing from the same place or stalked with 8 + 9, 10 remote from them, 11 arises 
very far basally. 6 and 7 of hindwing separated,- 8 on a long fork (which does not occur in any other genus), 
connected with the cell before the middle by a cross-vein. 
N. nigricans Mr. (86 a). A body red-brown, mixed with blackish-brown and grey. Forewing hyaline, 
base, inner margin and apex broadly black, costal margin, distal margin and veins narrowly black, hindwing 
marked the same. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. $ yellowish ochreous, forewing with 3 light rusty red spots in 
the cell, 2 below them, the exterior one of which is the largest, some dark spots between the cell-end and the 
inner margin, then follow 2 curved dark bands, the interior one darker and more spot-like. Expanse of wings: 
38 mm. — Larva greenish-blue, with dorsal and lateral darker stripes and rows of lunules; on the coffee-shrub. 
Ceylon. 
N. cardinalis Wil. cb South. <$ blackish; head,, collar and chest pink. Forewing blackish. Hindwing 
hyaline, costal and inner margins broad, distal margin narrow blackish. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Luzon, 
in December. 
N. francesca Swh. body pinkish brown, wings hyaline, veins and margins pinkish-brown. Cross-vein 
and stalk of 7—9 thickened. Costal margin with a chestnut-brown band, apical band broad, narrower towards 
the tornus, base and a broad inner-marginal band pinkish-brown, the latter with a green spot in the middle. 
Hindwing with a narrow costal-marginal band and distal-marginal band, and a broad inner-marginal band. 
Expanse of wings: 14 mm. $ body reddish, thorax green. Wings scantily scaled pinkish-grey, basally reddish, 
with a large green spot in the centre of the inner margin and a similar one at % of the costal margin. Expanse 
of wings: 30 mm. Java. An uncommonly marked species which may belong to Parasa? 
6. Genus: Limacocera 
gen. nov. 
Separated from all the other genera by the antennae being as long as the forewing in the + longer 
than the forewing in the + and remarkably flattened. Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs, palpi appressed up- 
curved, extending almost to the vertex. 7 of forewing stalked with 8+9, 10 separated from it, the basal 
portion of 11 strongly bent towards 12. 6 and 7 of hind wing distantly separated, 8 connected with the cell 
by a cross-vein before the middle of the cell. Vein parting cell plain in both wings. Type of genus: L. pacliy- 
cera limps. The species of Macroplectrina have similarly thickened and flattened antennae, but 7 of forewing 
arises separated from 8+9.
