53. Genus: Anepopsia Tmr. 
Palpus double the length of the diameter of the eye, obliquely upcurved, antenna bipectinate to the 
end, posterior tibiae only with terminal spurs. Fore wing with a plain discocellular vein, 7—9 stalked; posterior 
vein of hindwing scarcely projecting, 6 + 7 nearing each other or stalked, 8 anastomoses with the anterior 
margin of the cell near the base, with costal-marginal veinlets. Separated from the similar species of Parasa 
and Thosea by the long upcurved palpi. 
A. tephraea Tmr. Unicoloured grey. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. North Australia, in December. 
A. eugyra Tmr. Pale grey, forewing with a scarcely curved dark line from 3 / 5 of the inner margin 
almost to the apex. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. North Australia, in November. 
54. Genus: jJTirmides gen.nov. 
Antenna of S' long bipectinate basally, terminal half bare. Palpi moderately long, upcurved, not 
reaching to the vertex. Posterior tibiae only with terminal spurs. Forewing: 6 from the centre of the cross¬ 
vein, 7—9 stalked, 10 arises together with this stalk. Hindwing: 6 + 7 stalked, 8 anastomoses with the anterior 
margin of the cell at the base, posterior angle of cell is projecting. 
Type of genus: N. basalis Wkr. 
N. basalis Wkr. (= micron v. Eecke ) (88 b). An easily discernible species. Eorewing more scantily 
scaled, greyish-brown, veins darker, a rusty-red dark-edged spot at the cell-end, the dentate subterminal line 
whitish, marginal area behind it red-brown. Basal third as far as % of the costal margin and the tornus 
milky white, bordered by an oblique straight line, with interspersed darker scales. Hindwing red-brown, inner 
margin and base milky white. — To fusca form. nov. which rarely flies among the nomenclatural form the basal 
triangle of the forewing is not white, but of the same colour as the ground of the wing, the hindwing quite 
dark grey. Expanse of wings: 15—24 mm. From Malacca to Borneo. 
No luzonensis sp. n. (88 b) has densely scaled copper-brown forewings, the basal triangle is lustrous 
copper-brown, distally scarcely bordered with whitish, violettish-grey in the centre, subterminal line shaped 
as in basalis, nearer to the margin. Hindwing black, lighter at the costal margin. Luzon. $ type in the Berlin 
State Museum, 1 $ from Borneo in the British Museum. 
N. cuprea Mr. (88 b). Body dark brown, head ochreous; forewing red-brown, with 2 oblique streaks 
from the posterior margin of the cell to the inner margin and a broad curved subterminal band of a lustrous 
coppery brown, bordered with a darker colour inside. Hindwing dark grey, somewhat coppery at the margin. 
Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Darjeeling, apparently extremely rare. The species was confounded for a long time 
with Natada conjuncta Wkr. (Vol. II, pi. 50 b). 
55. Genus: Idoiiaiiton Sivh. 
Structurally very similar to the preceding genus, but vein 6 of fore wing nearing 7. 
I. apicale Wkr. (= rubriplaga Wkr.). Light red-brown, marginal area of forewing dark red-brown, 
bordered inside by a curved silvery white line. Expanse of wings: 25—36 mm. From India to Borneo. 
I. nigribasis Hmps. (88 b). Antennae of <$ thickened and flattened, with a tuft of scales between their 
bases. Fringe long and spatulate. Head and thorax blackish-brown, abdomen dark reddish-brown. Eorewing 
reddish-brown, basal area narrow blackish-brown, distally almost straightly and obliquely defined. Hindwing 
reddish-brown. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Canara. It may belong to Pseudidonauton (p. 705). 
56. Genus: 15 egg in a gen. nov. 
Antenna of <$ with long double pectinations, bare in the terminal fifth. Palpi porrect, distinctly pro¬ 
jecting beyond the frontal tuft. Posterior tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. Forewing: 7—10 stalked, 10 arises from 
the stalk far distally to 7, 11 feebly curved. Hindwing: posterior cell-angle scarcely projecting, 6 + 7 on a 
short stalk, 8 anastomoses near the base with the anterior edge of the cell. 
Type of genus: B. lymantrina Her. 
B. lymantrina sp. n. (88 b). Basal half of forewing brownish, dentately defined outside, distal half 
yellowish olive. Hindwing reddish-grey. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Salomon Is., in March. $ type from New 
Georgia (Tring Museum).
