10 from the same base or stalked with them, 11 straight. Posterior angle of cell on hindwing projecting, 6 + 7 
stalked, 8 anastomosing with the anterior edge of the cell near the base. 
T. brevilinea Hmps. (89 1). Forewing brown, coarsely dusted with purple, with a dark curved line from 
*4 of the inner margin to the cell-end. Hindwing brownish ochreous. Expanse of wings: 36—40 mm. Sikkim. 
42. Genus: Anaxi<Ma Swh. 
Palpus short, porrect, antenna of $ bipectinate basally. Hind tibiae only with terminal spurs. 7—9 
of forewing stalked, 10 separated or stalked with them. Hindwing with a slightly projecting posterior cell- 
angle, 6+7 stalked, 8 connected with the anterior edge of the cell at its centre by a cross-vein, and a series 
of veinlets towards the costal margin. 
A. integer Trnr. Body pinkish-white. Antennae ochreous, shortly pectinated in the 2. Vein 10 of 
forewing not stalked; forewing uniformly pinkish-white, fringe ochreous. Hindwing whitish. Expanse of wings: 
38 mm. North-West Australia. It has not been before me in nature. 
A. lozogramma Trnr. (= loxogramma Trnr.) (89 1). Ground-colour variable, from ochre to grey, 
forewing with a dark (sometimes distally light-edged, sometimes altogether light) oblique straight line from 
the inner margin near the base to the costal margin before the apex from where a similar line extends to the 
margin above the tornus, cross-vein with a dark dot distally to the first line. Expanse of wings: 28—38 mm. 
Australia. 
A. lactea Swh. ( = aerogramma Low.). Body white or greyish-white. Forewing whitish or greyish- 
white, costal margin sometimes a little ochreous, a dark grey crenulate oblique line from the inner margin 
before the centre to % of the costal margin, below which it is angled or dying away. Hind wing coloured like 
forewing. Expanse of wings: 32—42 mm. South and West Australia. 
A. dochmosema Trnr. Thorax brown, reddish above in the centre, abdomen brown. Forewing brown, 
reddish at the costal margin, with a dentate or undulate blackish line from the centre of the inner margin to 
% of the costal margin. Hindwing brownish-white. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. North Australia. 
43. Genus : J*arasa Mr. (Letois Fldr.) 
Antenna of <$ bipectinate basally. Palpus short, porrect. Hind tibiae only with terminal spurs. Disco- 
cellular vein of forewing forked, 7—9 stalked, 10 separated or from the same base as 7—9, 11 straight or bent. 
6+7 of hindwing stalked, 8 anastomosing with the anterior edge of the cell near the base. Mostly provided 
with apple-green marking; as the species exhibit considerable structural differences, the genus will have to 
be subdivided one day. The description of P. shirakii Kawada was not accessible to me. 
I. Lepidoptera coloured green in some places. 
F. lepida Or. (= graciosa Ww., latifascia Wkr.) (86 h). Head and thorax green, with a posteriorly 
widened dorsal streak, abdomen yellowish-brownish. Forewing green, with a violettish-brown basal spot 
which is longest at the costal margin and extends posteriorly almost to the cell, and a lighter brown marginal 
band defined by a uniform bow on the inside. Hindwing yellow, more or less brownish in the marginal half. 
Expanse of wings: 30 — 50 mm. — media Wkr. is similar, but not synonymous with it, as stated in Vol. II (p. 346); 
the brown marginal band of the forewing projects at vein 4 in a feeble dent towards the base. Sumatra to the 
Philippines. — Larva light green with 3 dorsal yellow or green bands, with subdorsal and lateral spined appen¬ 
dages, the spines of the anterior ones being spotted red; polyphagous. India, Ceylon. 
P. metaphaea Hmps. Head and thorax green, with a brown dorsal line. Forewing yellowish-green, 
costal margin brown, with a small slanting brown basal spot extending beyond the inner margin, marginal 
band brown, bordered inside with a curved dark line. Hindwing dark red-brown. Expanse of wings : 34 mm. 
Travancore. 
P. metathermes Hmps. (86 h). Body brown, collar and tegulae centrally green. Forewing green, basal 
area brown, with 2 notched projections, marginal area lighter brown, uniformly bent, scarcely projecting beyond 
the inner margin. Hindwing dark brown. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Ceylon. 
P. hilaris Ww. ( = hockingii Mr.) (86 h). Forewing somewhat narrower, basal area of forewing extending 
towards the inner margin as far as 1 a, with a dent pointing distally, not extended at the costal margin, marginal 
band narrower, with a proximal dent at vein 7. Hindwing ochreous, fringe darkened. Thorax quite green. 
Expanse of wings: 20—24 mm. India.
