the British Museum is figured. North India, extending into the palaearctic region. — In minor de Joann, the minor. 
interior oblique line does not reach to the inner margin, but ends'at the posterior edge of the cell. Tonkin, South 
China. — niargaritacea subsp. nov. (87 i) is lighter, ground-colour of forewing more pearl-grey, subterminal marga- 
line less distinct towards the inner margin. Hindwing pale wood-coloured. North Borneo. S', $ types from the 
Kina-Balu (Berlin State Museum). The antenna of this species is distinctly pectinated only in the basal third. 
Hind tibiae only with terminal spurs. 
H. capucina Sn. (87 i). Antenna of S' bipectinate. Body and forewing of a nasturtium-brown colour, capucina. 
hindwing and abdomen somewhat lighter. Expanse of wings: 25—27 mm. Java. The species was taken in 
Malacca together with H. minax from which, however, it differs in the darker colouring and shorter palpi. 
Hind tibia without a middle spur. 
H. sericea Leech (87 i). Antenna of S' pectinate to the end, two lines divergent from the apex as in scricea. 
capucina , but the exterior one directly on the margin, both with a leaden gloss, the ground-colour between 
them lighter brown. Hindwing red-brown. Head and thorax yellow. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. From Ta- 
tsien-lu and to the south, South China, certainly also in North India. — Hind tibiae also with middle spurs. 
This species is probably better ranged under Susica. 
33. Genus: Hypliormides gen. nov. 
Very near to the preceding genus, but the anterior angle of the cell of the forewing projects instead 
of the posterior angle and vein 10 is stalked with 7—9. Anterior tibia without a silvery spot. Antenna of S' 
uniformly shortly pectinated to the end. Type of genus: H. argentipunctata. 
H. argentipunctata sp. n. (90 f). Body and forewing dark violettish-brown, scantily strewn with metallic argenti- 
blue scales which, however, form a coherent marginal line, a silvery dot in the centre of the inner margin. punctata. 
Scaling dull, but lustrous in the distal third in a triangular space the apex of which is at the cell-end and 
the base on the margin. Hindwing lustrous greyish-brown, also the under surface. Expanse of wings: 30 mm, 
Borneo. S' type from Kuching (British Museum); Mt. Dulit (Tring Museum). 
34. Genus: Moiiema Wkr. (Cnidocampa Mats.). 
Antennae of, S' plain. Palpus extremely long, but the terminal joint shorter than the second. Hind 
tibiae with 2 pair of spurs, the middle spurs hardly visible. 7—9 of forewing stalked, 10 from the same place 
together with them, or stalked, 11 near to 12, but not much bent. 6 + 7 of hindwing stalked, 8 bent towards 
the anterior edge of the cell as far as %. Easily discernible from Hyphorma by the shorter terminal joint of 
the palpus and the stalked vein 10 of the fore wing. 
M. flavescens Wkr. (Vol. II, pi. 50 c). Thorax sulphur-coloured, abdomen brownish. Forewing with jlavescens. 
2 transverse lines proceeding before the apex, the interior one obliquely to the inner margin, the exterior one 
curved to the inner margin before the tornus; the interior one divides the yellow basal half from the brown 
marginal half, a dark dot at the cell-end, interior line darkened somewhat spot-like above the inner margin. 
Hindwing varying from yellow to brownish ochre. Specimens with black wings in which only the extreme 
base is yellow are: — f. nigrans Joann., rarely occurring with the nomenclatural form. Palpi of more than nigrans. 
threefold the diameter of the eye. Expanse of wings: 25—35 min. China, Japan, but also in the Prov. of 
Kwang-tung, numbers of it taken by Dr. Mell from April till September and bred on Rand ia dumetorum. 
M. coralina Dudg. (87 i). Body yellowish-white, basal half of forewing yellowish-white, a brown spot coralina. 
above the inner margin before the centre, distal half dusted with a soft pink, both the lines indistinct, extinct 
at the costal and inner margins. Hindwing pink on the interior half, under surface also pink. Expanse of wings: 
34 mm. Butan. 
M. nielli sp. n. (87 i). Similar to flavescens , much smaller, palpi only of double the diameter of the eye, mcUi. 
the spot at the interior line of the forewing above the inner margin very conspicuous. Expanse of wings: 
18 mm. Kwang-tung. <$ type from Tong-cung-shan, taken on the lantern by Dr. Mell in August (Berlin 
State Museum). 
M. tenebricosa sp. n. (87 i). Habitus similar to that of Hyphorma, anterior tibia with a silvery spot, tenebricosa. 
Palpus of more than threefold the diameter of the eye. Body brown, anterior part of thorax and head orange. 
Fore wing red-brown as far as the oblique line and below the cell and vein 2, then blackish, scantily strewn 
with silvery blue, the exterior line more indistinct. Hindwing dark brown, inner margin and costal margin 
red-brown. Expanse of wings: 25 mm. North India, in May. $ type from Khasis in the Tring Museum. 
M. rubriceps Mats. Very near to flavescens (Vol. II, pi. 50 c), but frons red, forewing with a reddish- rutriceps. 
yellow marginal band, the stalk of 8 -|- 9 longer than its branches, hindwing of the same ground-colour as 
forewing, base and apical half paler. Expanse of wings: 30—32 mm. Formosa, in June and August.
