ochre to brownish. — In f. aurisoma Mats, the head and abdomen are also golden yellow, only the frons is 
brown, the spots mentioned at the inner margin and subterminal line are more distinctly pale, almost golden 
yellow. Expanse of wings: 40—56 mm. Formosa, May, June, and September, October. These forms have 
recently been united by Matsumura with jlavidorsalis. 
N. flaviclorsalis Stgr. (Vol. II, pi. 49 k). Of this species which is distributed in Eastern Asia and Japan 
(cf. Vol. II, p. 344) and is easily recognizable especially by the basal spot at the inner margin being parted 
brown by vein 1 b, a Formosan race has been ascertained: — subsp. formosicola Mats., differing from the 
typical Japanese specimens in the absence of the yellow band on the outside of the postmeclian line, the mar¬ 
ginal band being brownish not silvery grey. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Formosa, in June. 
N. apicipennis Mats. Upper surface reddish-yellow, head and thorax orange. Forewing brown at the 
base, costal margin and apex, veins 9 and 10 darkened. Costal margin of forewing darkened at the apex. 
Expanse of wings: 65 mm. Formosa. 
11. Genus: Pinzuleuza gen. nov. 
Frenulum absent, costal margin of hindwing protruding at this place, but the rest of the imago entirely 
of the Limacodid structure. Antenna of long bipectinate to the middle. Hind tibiae with 2 pair of long spin’s. 
Palpi of medium length, appressed, not reaching the vertex. Metathorax and base of abdomen with tufts. 
Costal margin of forewing and vein 12 strongly curved, 11 bent very near towards 12, arising opposite 2, 
both come from the cell before its centre. 7 stalked with 8 + 9, 10 remote from them. Discocellular vein plain. 
Posterior angle of cell on hindwing strongly projecting, 6 + 7 stalked, 8 distantly separated from the anterior 
edge of cell also basally, connected by a long cross-vein near the base. 
Type of genus: P. Jculcisch Her. 
P. kukisch sj). n. (86 d). Thorax and forewing reddish ochreous, unicoloured red-brown in the <+ a 
darker curved antemedian transverse line is mostly only distinct from vein 2 to the inner margin, where it 
is distally bordered with silvery white and straight. Postmedian line parallel to this line, only dark, extending 
into the tornus. Hindwing pale ochre like the under surface and abdomen. Fringe of the same colour as the 
wings, with blackish thickened tips at the tornus. Expanse of wings: 16—18 mm. New Guinea. $ type from 
the Etappenberg (Berlin State Museum), $ type from Mt. Goliath (Tring Museum). 
12. Genus: Cauia Wlcr. 
Palpi short, not projecting beyond the frontal tuft, appressed Upcurved. Antenna of bipectinate in 
the basal part, cpiite bare at the end as in the + Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. Veins 4 and 5 of forewing 
approximated or stalked, 8 + 9 stalked, 7 from the same place as the stalk, or separated from it, 10 distantly 
separated from the cell-end. 11 bent very near towards 12, anterior angle of cell projecting farther towards 
the margin than posterior angle. Posterior angle projects on hindwing, 6 + 7 are stalked, 8 is connected with 
the anterior edge of the cell by a cross-vein at about the centre of the cell. 
C. bandura Mr. (86 d). Forewing lustrous velvety brown, fringe ochre, basal area and the fine margins 
milky white. Hindwing varying from ochre to grey. Expanse of wings: 26—30 mm. India, Sumatra, Java, 
Borneo. Only the <$ is known. 
C. sericea Wlcr. (86 d). Forewing reddish ochre, rarely pale yellow, with 2 brown oblique transverse 
lines meeting towards the costal margin before the apex, the inner margin mostly more or less darkened 
violettish-brown at the base. Hindwing and under surface light ochre. Expanse of wings: 35 mm. — The larva 
lives on Mangifera; it is similar to that of the following species. Distributed like bandura ,' only the $ known. 
This species is presumably the $ of bandura. — The $ of this species is distinguished from those of the following 
species by the cell-end vein of the fore wing being scarcely shorter between vein 6 and the vein parting the 
cell than between the latter and vein 5, whilst it is considerably shorter in the following species. 
C. bilinea Wlcr. (= bicarinata Wlcr.) (86 d). Forewing of both sexes varying from ochre to grey, with 
2 brown transverse lines distally bordered with more or less light, being somewhat convergent towards the 
inner margin in contrast with sericea. The species is rather variable and is divided into a few races well dis¬ 
cernible by the $ genital organs. The nomenclatural form originates from China. Numerous specimens taken 
by Dr. Mell on the lantern in May, June, and August till November (Kwang-tung) prove it to be a small 
race the forewing of which is rarely darkened greyish. The lateral lobes of the uncus, on being viewed from 
the side, are broad club-shaped, the valve, on being viewed from the side, exhibits an intense incrassation 
before the end. Expanse of wings: 20—29 mm. — mollis Wlcr. ($ = malaccana Wlcr.) is similar, often larger, 
sometimes the dark lines are scarcely bordered with a lighter colour, the forewing often darkened greyish in 
the Malay region. The lateral appendages of the uncus are very broad lobate, the intensely chitinized valves
