yellow. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. South India. type from Palni Hills in the British Museum. — The species 
is remarkably slim, the antennae are longer pectinated, 8 of hind wing is connected with the anterior edge of the 
cell at its centre, it resembles Macroplectra, but 7 is stalked with 8—10 and arises after 10. 
C. propexa Swh. Pale brown, dusted with blackish. Forewing pale brown, with a black dot beyond propexa. 
the lower cell-end, an oblong blackish median streak from the posterior edge of the cell to vein 1 b, and a blackish 
slanting line from the apex to vein 5, a dot at the tornus. Hindwing blackish grey. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. 
India. 
C. melanosticta Hmps. $ body reddish ochre, tegulae black. Forewing ochreous, with irregular broad melano- 
black longitudinal stripes from the base to the tornus below the cell; a black preapical spot with an undulate 
distal edge, the margin with black dots. Hindwing pale blackish-grey, fringe ochreous. $ tegulae ochreous, 
the black markings of the forewing reduced. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. North India. 
C. rotunda Hmps. Greyish-brown, forewing dusted slightly darker, with a row of black dots from the rotunda. 
costal margin beyond the centre, excurved as far as vein 6, then subterminal. Hindwing slightly darker. Fringe 
with a yellow basal line. Expanse of wings: 16 — 20 mm. Kanara. It resembles Spatulifimbria (p. 719). 
C. pratti B.-Bak. (88 h). Dark red-brown, forewing with a dark submarginal transverse line which is pratti. 
introangular in the middle, the broad marginal line beyond it is light brown, two dark dots above each other 
are below the cell above the centre of the inner margin. Expanse of wings : 46 mm. New Guinea, in August. 
C. lola Swh. Body and basal half of forewing red-brown, forewing distally bordered by a pale oblique lota. 
band of pale grey-centred spots, margin also with a pale grey band. Hindwing red-brown. Both wings with an 
ochreous marginal line and fringe. Expanse of wings: 23 mm. Borneo. 
C. ekeikei B.-Bak. Reddish-brown, forewing with a small dark dot at the cell-end, followed by a slanting ekeikei. 
dark stripe, hindwing paler. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. New Guinea, March and April. — It may be identical 
with Thosea monoloncha (89 a). 
C. brunnea Swh. Dark olive brown, forewing densely dusted with black, but the costal and distal brunnect. 
margins paler and somewhat ochreous. Hindwing blackish, distal margin pale ochreous. Under surface paler. 
Forewing with ochreous margins, so that a long black triangle remains in the centre. Expanse of wings: 23 mm. 
Borneo. 
72. Genus: Irag’oides gen. nov. 
Antenna of S with but one row of short pectinations. Palpi short, porrect, terminal joint pendent. 
Hind tibia with two pair of spurs. Fore wing very pointed, 7 stalked with 8 + 9, 10 from the same basis, 6 nearer 
to 7. Hindwing: 6 -f- 7 stalked, 8 anastomoses with the anterior edge of the cell near the base, posterior angle 
of cell slightly produced. Type of genus: I. crispa Swh. 
I. crispa Swh. (88 h). Body red-brown, with an orange-red median line. Forewing red-brown, appearing crispa. 
rugged, with a violettish-grey straight oblique band from y s of the inner margin to the costal margin before 
the apex, a similar inconspicuous line at the margin, proceeding from the apex. Hindwing grey. Expanse of 
wings: 30—35 mm. India. — It is very similar to Iraga rugosa Wil. (86 g). 
I. nilgirica Hmps. (88 h). Body brown, the dark oblique line of the forewing blacker and more slanting, nilgirica. 
without the dark marginal stripe, but with a lighter brown almost straight submarginal line. Expanse of wings: 
38 mm. Nilgiris. 
I. elofigata sp. n. (90 f). Likewise similar to crispa , forewing somewhat more elongated, lighter violettish- elongata. 
brown, smoother, without an oblique line. An indistinct dark dot at the cell-end, traces of a proximally convex 
subapical band. Hindwing reddish-brown, more yellowish ochreous towards the costal margin. Body coloured 
as in crispa, also the silvery spots of the prolegs at the end of the hips, femora and tibiae are present. Expanse 
of wings: 36 mm. Upper Burma. type from Hkamkawn, 4000 ft. (British Museum). 
I. fasciata Mr. The dark brown basal area of the forewing is almost vertically cut off, then follows a fasciata. 
bluish-grey transverse band, then a dark median shadow, then again a light space; subterminal line dark, 
straight, marginal area bluish-grey. Central dot indistinctly darker. Expanse of wings: 22—34 mm. India, 
China, Formosa. It resembles certain species of Thosea, but the $ antenna has one row" of pectinations only. 
I. conjuncta Wkr. (= fimbriares Wkr.) (88 i). Body and forewing red-brown, basal third darker, conjuncta. 
straightly and almost vertically cut off. central dot black. An irregular submarginal transverse band formed 
of 2 glossy copper triangles despatches a strong dent basad after the origin of vein 2. Hindwing red-brown. 
Expanse of wings: 20—30 mm. India, China, Japan, Formosa.
