3 -f- 4 from the same basis, 6 + 7 on a short stalk. 8 remote from the anterior edge of the cell, connected with 
it by a cross-vein. 
Type of genus: L. pirifera Her. 
L. pirifera sp. n. (88 d). Forewing violettish reddish-brown, with a darker pear-shaped oblique spot on 
Y 3 of the inner margin, extending to the cell and edged with pale yellow: from its anterior portion a sometimes 
lighter oblique streak, which is always broadly bordered with dark towards the apex, extends to the tornus, 
the apex itself is somewhat lighter again. Hindwing dark grey. Expanse of wings: 17 mm. Borneo, Sumatra. 
$ type from Pontianak (Berlin State Museum, paratypes in the British. Tring, and Stettin Museums). 
59. Genus: ISirtliaimila gen. nov. 
Structurally near Birthamoides . posterior tibiae with 2 pair of spurs, antennae of uniformly bipecti- 
nated to the ends. Fore wing: 10 stalked with 8 + 9 after 7 (rarely arising before 7), 11 straight. 
Type of genus: B. chara Swh. 
B. chara Swh. (88 d). Very near to the following diffusa, although vein 10 of fore wing may even arise 
separately. Forewing variable, brown mixed with blackish, often whitish at the inner margin, cross-vein with a 
black dot, the white apical area often with a blackish central spot. Expanse of wings: 18—24 mm. Common 
in Borneo in April, rare in Sumatra. 
B. diffusa Warr. (88 d). 7 and 10 of forewing arise almost opposite each other. Forewdng dusted with 
orange brown, the ochreous ground-colour projects before and behind the centre which is indistinctly dark 
violettish-grey, easily recognizable by the pale ochreous semicircular apical area which is jet-black in f. nigro- 
apicalis form. nov. (d' from Khasis in the Tring Museum). Hindwing blackish-grey. All the fringes speckled 
yellow and brown. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. North India. 
60. Genus: Euphlycta Sn. 
Antennae of not pectinate, palpi long, upcurved, terminal joint long and pointed. Posterior tibiae 
with 2 pair of spurs. Forewing: 7 stalked with 8—10, arising before 10, 11 straight, arising far basad. Hindwing: 
6 + 7 stalked, 8 connected by cross-vein with the anterior edge of the cell near the base, then separated from it. 
E. erastria Sn. (88 d). Body blackish-brown. Forewing somewhat reddish-brown basally, then dark 
brown, median band blackish, bordered basad at the inner margin by a whitish spot. Then follows a whitish 
postmedian line bordered with blackish on both sides, marginal area whitish, with black marginal dots. Hind¬ 
wing blackish-grey. $ lighter, marginal area more yellowish. Expanse of wings: 22—24 mm. — Larva light 
green above, light grey laterally. Head and anterior appendages orange. Dorsum with darker circular spots 
and small black sting-hairs; on the coffee-shrub. — Java. 
61. Genus: Euphlyctinides gen. nov. 
Antennae of q thickened and flattened, stalk of 8 + 9 of forewing not so long, 7 together with that 
stalk, or on a short stalk. 
Type of genus: E. rava Her. 
E. rava sp. n. (88 d). Forewing dark yellow, more or less olive brownish at the costal margin, a black 
broad, indistinctly defined oblique band from y 3 of the costal margin to % of the inner margin, an indistinct 
row of dots, almost parallel to the margin, begins between the beginning of the oblique band and the apex. 
Hindwing yellowish-grey. All the fringes yellow. Expanse of wings: 23 mm. Darjeeling. <$ type in the Berlin 
State Museum (from the Coll. Atkinson). 
62. Genus: JEhiplilyctina gen. nov. 
Structurally very near to the preceding genus, antennae of plain, cylindrical. Fore wing: vein 11 arises 
far towards the margin, opposite 2, 8 + 9 are forked only shortly before the margin. Hindwing: 8 approximates 
the costal margin almost as far as the centre of the cell. 
Type of genus: E. phaeopasta Hmps. 
E. phaeopasta Hmps. Forewing very oblong, yellowish ochre, but densely dusted with blackish-brown, 
the yellow ground-colour only projects in an undulate yellow line from the posterior edge of the cell towards 
the inner margin before the centre, a costal-marginal spot at the apex and some marginal spots at the tornus, 
marginal line blackish at the apex. Hindwing dark grey. Fringe with a conspicuous yellow basal line. Expanse 
of wings: 20 mm. North India.
