indistinct dark purple brown oblique band from the centre of the costal margin to y 3 of the inner margin, a 
dentate submarginal line almost parallel to the margin. Hindwing dark grey, all the fringes yellowish-grey. 
Expanse of wings: 30 mm. South-Eastern Borneo. $ type from Kutei (Berlin State Museum). 
M. fumipennis sp. n. (89 h). Dark smoky grey; head, collar and legs yellow. Anterior tibiae and all the fumi- 
tarsi blackish, the spurs of the yellow posterior tibiae also blackish. Forewing dark smoky grey, with a broad penms. 
ochreous median band which is feebly dusted dark and the distal border of which is straight and almost parallel 
to the margin, the interior border obliquely from + 3 of the costal margin to + 3 of the inner margin. Hindwing 
and under surface blackish-grey. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Khasis, in September. $ type in the Tring Museum. 
80. Genus: Xjlparolasfa gen. nov. 
Antennae of long bipectinate to the ends, palpi long porrect, projecting beyond the frontal tuft, posterior 
tibia with 2 pair of spurs. Forewing: 8—10 stalked, 7 separated from them, 11 straight. Hindwing: 6 + 7 
fused, therefore one vein absent, 8 connected with the anterior edge of the cell at or behind the middle. Type 
of genus: L. bifasciata Her. 
L. bifasciata sp. n. (89 g). Ochreous, forewing with a somewhat brownish tint, with 2 pale yellow bifasciata. 
parallel transveise lines, one in the middle, the other from 4 / 5 of the costal margin to the tornus. Hindwing 
pale yellow. Expanse of wings: 13 mm. Khasis, in August. $ type in the Tring Museum. 
81. Genus: Semyra Wkr. 
Near Macroplectra, but 8 of hindwing anastomosing with the anterior edge of the cell, instead of being 
connected by a cross-vein. Vein 7 of forewing separated from 8—10, 11 not curved. The pectinations of the 
d antenna do not only decrease in length towards the apex, but also towards the base. The genus is distributed 
in America in a number of species; its occurrence in the Indo-Malay region is probably due to the import of 
cultivated plants. 
S. phrygia Dyar (89 g). Purple brown, forewing at y 3 with a silvery dentate line from the cell to the phrygia. 
inner margin, and a greyish postmedian line which extends very near the margin, but is strongly bent towards 
the base below the cell. Three dark grey, basallv fused oviform spots are outside at the cell-end. Dark brown 
wedge-spots at the cell-end, the posterior edge of the cell, above the inner margin and after the 3 grey spots, 
apex with a round dark brown spot. Hindwing ochreous reddish-grey. Expanse of wings: 21 mm. North- 
Eastern Sumatra, 1 $ in the Coll. Martin (Munich Museum), otherwise in Brazil. 
S. albipunctata sp. n. (89 h). Body blackish violet. The basal two thirds of the forewing blackish-violet, albi- 
bordered by a pale vertical line from the inner margin near the tornus towards % of the costal margin, marginal punctata. 
third yellowish-brown, projecting a little basad at the costal margin. An oblique line from the margin below 
the apex to the tornus is bordered by dark vein-streaks inside. At % of the inner margin there is a somewhat 
oblique line of white dots which are bordered with brownish-red, on the outside of which a blackish, slightly 
curved oblique line extends to the upper end of the dark area. Hindwing and under surface yellowish-grey. 
Palpi long, upcurved. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Darjeeling. type in the Tring Museum. — The species 
resembles Sem. mdschleri Schs., but it has a much lighter distal area of the fore wing. 
82. Genus: llacroplectrina gen. nov. 
Similar to the preceding genus, antennae of thickened and flattened, 8—10 of forewing on a very long 
stalk, 11 mostly arises far basad to the origin of 2. Type of genus: M. curvipalpis Her. 
M. semiaurantia Hmps. Head and thorax orange, dusted with brown, abdomen dark brown. Fore wing semi- 
fiery orange-red in the basal half, dusted with brown at the costal margin, with a feebly dentate dark antemedian avranha. 
line from the cell to the inner margin. Marginal area suffused with orange, forming an indistinctly defined spot 
at the costal margin. Hindwing dark brown. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. North India. 
M. inconspicua Hmps. Ochreous; head, thorax, and forewing, as far as the dark very oblique postmedian incon- 
line, suffused with reddish. Expanse of wings: 12 mm. Bombay. spicua. 
M. apicalis Hmpjs. Lustrous blackish-brown. Forewing with a narrow triangular yellowish-white apical apicalis. 
spot. Head and palpi pale yellow. Expanse of wings: 16—48 mm. India. — Vein 10 of forewing arises from 
the cell, but the species is distinguished from Oxyplax by the long palpi and spurs. 
M. curvipalpis sp. n. (89 h). Palpi of $ of 5 fold the diameter of the eye, upcurved, projecting beyond curvipalpis.
