692 HEDRAEA; ELASSOPTILA; HETEROGENEA; LAMPROLEPIS; DORATIFERA. By Dr. M. Hering. 
35. Genus: Hedraea Tmr. 
Palpus of fourfold the diameter of the eye, porrect, terminal joint long. Posterior tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. 
Antenna of bipectinate. Discocellular vein of forewing forked, 7 with 8 -j— 9 from the same base or stalked, 
10 separated from them. Hindwing with a plain discocellular vein, posterior angle of cell scarcely projecting, 
6 and 7 from the same base, 8 connected with the anterior edge of the cell by a cross-vein, with numerous 
small costal-marginal veins. 
H. quadridens Luc. <$: body reddish-brown, head yellowish-white, forewing reddish-brown, with 
ochreous and reddish-blotches, a band of 4 or 5 white dots at 3 / 5 in a blackish shaded band, continued as a 
narrow line to the centre of the wing, a small blackish spot towards the centre of the inner margin, margin 
shaded dark. Hinclwing reddish-brown, yellowish-white towards the basal half, inner margin also yellowish- 
white. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. quite whitish ochreous, forewing pale ochreous, with the 4 or 5 white 
cliscal dots encircled by brown. Costal margin brown. Hindwing whitish ochreous, with a dark cross-vein dot 
beneath. Expanse of wings: 42 mm. Larva on Pteris. Queensland. 
36. Genus: Klassoptila Tmr. 
Palpi long, of sixfold the diameter of the eye. Antenna of $ long bipectinate almost to the end. Hind 
tibia with 2 spurs. Discocellular vein shrunk, 7—9 of forewing stalked, 6 —|— 7 of hindwing stalked, 8 connected 
with the centre of the cell-margin by a cross-vein. 
E, microxutha Tmr. Body brown. Forewing strongly curved at the costal margin, apex rounded, 
margin slanting. A blackish vertical streak on the inner margin before the centre, a straight oblique whitish 
line from 2 / 3 of the costal margin to the tornus towards which it is narrowed and at last only marked by vein- 
dots. Hinclwing dark brown, with an oblong orange ochreous dot in the centre. $ less distinctly marked and 
with a woolly yellowish ochreous abdomen. Expanse of wings: 14—20 mm. Queensland, December till March. 
The $ swiftly flies in a zigzag way in the densest forest right above the soil. The species is somewhat like 
a Lymantriid. It was not before me in nature. 
37. Genus: Heterogenea Knock. 
Antennae invariably plain, palpi short, appressed, posterior tibiae only with terminal spurs. 10 of 
forewing stalked with 8 —)— 9, 7 separated from them, 11 straight. 6 and 7 of hindwing separated, 8 connected 
with the centre of the anterior edge of the cell by a cross-vein. Holarctic genus; it is questionable whether 
the following species is correctly ranged here. 
H. foliola Sn. certainly belongs into another genus, because the posterior tibiae have 2 pair of spurs, 
the palpi are longer than the head, 3+4 and 6 + 7 of hindwing are stalked. Body and forewing whitish- 
yellow, dull. Fore wing with numerous brown internerval streaks fused in the distal third, except at the tornus. 
Two almost white lines proceed from the apex, the interior one slanting and straight to the centre of the inner 
margin, the other one parallel to the margin 1 mm distant from it. Abdomen and hinclwing dark grey. Expanse 
of wings: 23 mm. unknown. Java, at 1600 m. 
38. Genus: B^amprolepis Fldr. (Lamprolepida Tmr.). 
Antennae of $ long bipectinate basally, palpi moderately long, porrect. Tibiae quite spineless. 7—9 
of forewing stalked, 10 from the same base or stalked, 11 straight. 6 -j- 7 of hindwing stalked, 8 anastomosing 
with the anterior edge of the cell as far as the middle. 
L. ehrysochroa Fldr. (= euchrysa Low.) (90 f). Body brown, head and anterior part of thorax orange. 
Forewing metallic golden, with a dark brown oblique line from the apex to the inner margin before the centre, 
marginal area narrowly violettish-brown, darker towards the base, narrower towards the inner margin. Hind¬ 
wing ochreous. B remarkably smaller and with narrower wings, hinclwing more red-brown, with a straight 
margin. Expanse of wings: 20—40 mm. North Australia. 
39. GeilUS: IJoi’ill i (Vl’Jl Ww. (Doraliophora Scott incl. Dinawa B.-Bak.). 
Near to the preceding genus, but hind tibiae with terminal spurs. 
D. vulnerans Lew. (89 1). Brown; basal tuft of antenna, apex of palpus and protibial spots snow-white. 
Forewing lustrous copper-brown; veins, the marginal area being narrowed towards the tornus, a cross-vein 
streak and a space behind it are silvery whitish-grey. Hindwing dark grey. <§ somewhat smaller and with 
narrower wings than + Expanse of wings: 32—43 mm. — Larva strangulated on the middle segments, with
