blackish, a lighter reddish-brown transverse band at 1 / 5 , a black cross-vein dot, and a submarginal line before 
the apex, dying away towards the centre of the wing. Hindwing blackish-grey. Expanse of wings: 16—20 mm. 
Upper Assam. and $ types in the Berlin State Museum. 
M. platycera sp. n. (89 h). Head dark purple brown, body and forewing ochreous, with a slight reddish 
tint, a blackish median line which is incurved at the centre of the cell and below the cell, the costal-marginal 
Half as far as to this line dusted with grey. The lighter marginal half is parted by a dark, rather uniformly 
curved postmedian line. Hindwing pale yellow like the under surface, where the forewing is dusted with blackish 
in the costal half. 6 —j- 7 of hindwing arise from the same place. Expanse of wings: 17 mm. Khasis. J type 
in the Tring Museum. — It may be that Ceratonema fuscum Swh. (p. 699) is the $ of this species. In distinction 
with the following species, 7 is stalked here with 8—10. 
M. aspergillata sp. n. (89 h). As only a $ ist at hand, the antennae of the could not be examined, so 
that it remains questionable, whether the species belongs to this genus or not. Body blackish-grey, clothed 
with very long-stalked blackish projecting scales which are white at the end, so that the body looks as if it were 
covered with a grey mould. Forewing greyish-brown, with a blackish dot in the centre of the cell and below 
it, with a series of indistinct blackish submarginal dots. The whole wing is scantily strewn with mouldy grey 
scales which are more densely strewn proximad to the submarginal row of dots, but are almost absent distally 
to it. Fringe speckled dark. Hindwing and under surface dark grey. Expanse of wings: 23 mm. Khasis, in 
May. $ type in the Tring Museum. 
M. dentilinea sp. n. Body and forewing greyish-brown, sometimes with a more reddish tint, cross-vein 
with a black streak from which a strongly dentate oblique line extends to % of the inner margin. A similar 
postmedian line, less dentate, but projecting with 2 black sagittate spots towards the cell-end, is almost parallel 
to the margin. Hindwing blackish-grey. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. Khasis, April and July. and $ types in 
the Tring Museum. 11 of forewing rises almost opposite 2. 
83. Genus: CloehSiopodinst gen. nov. 
Separated from all the other genera by vein 11 of forewing arising from the same basis as 8—10 or 
stalked with them. 7 is separated from the stalk of 8—10 and nearer to 6, 3 and 4 nearer together, posterior 
angle of the cell projects much, discocellular vein forked. Hindwing: posterior angle of the cell projecting, 
discocellular vein forked, 6 and 7 arise separately, 8 anastomoses with the anterior edge of the cell near the 
base. antennae plain, slightly thickened and flattened; palpi upcurved, not reaching vertex. Legs densely 
scaled, posterior tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. Type of genus: G. argentifera Her. 
C. argentifera sp. n. (89 i). Thorax and forewing dark violettish-brown, forewing strewn with silvery 
scales except a broad, distally curved postmedian band which extends close at the margin and almost parallel 
to it to % of the inner margin and despatches a dent to the cell on vein 2; the cellular veins and some small 
spots of the proximal half are also without silvery scales and therefore of a pure dark brown. Abdomen and 
hindwing light greyish-brown, the base of the hindwing pale yellowish. Expanse of wings: 18 mm. Khasis, in 
October. type in the Tring Museum. 
84. Genus: D«U*1I«1 Wlcr. (Orthocraspeda Hmps., Thoseoides Shir.) 
Antennae of $ with long double pectinations gradually decreasing towards the apex. Palpi moderately 
long, somewhat upcurved. Posterior tibiae with 2 pair of long spurs. Forewing: vein 2 strongly curved, 4 + 5 
from the same place or stalked, 10 from the same place as the very long-stalked 8 + 9 or stalked with them, 
7 separated from them. Hindwing: 6 — 7 stalked, 8 connected with the anterior edge of the cell by a cross¬ 
vein before the middle. The genus scarcely differs from Macro plectra. 
D. trima Mr. ( = fasciafa Shir.) (89 i). Brown, forewing with 4 blackish-brown transverse lines growing 
more oblique towards the base, the subbasal one almost as a longitudinal streak from the base to the inner margin, 
more or less striped light brown between them. Hindwing blackish. Expanse of wings: 15—20 mm. — Larva 
green, the anterior 4 segments brown, with a brown dorsal band, anteriorly accompanied by yellow spots 
on each side, with 4 rows of spined appendages. South India to the Philippines. 
D. catenata Sn. (89 i). Light brown, forewing with a broad purple blackish marginal band, hindwing 
and under surface blackish. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Celebes. (One vein is absent in the forewing, as 8 + 9 
are fused.) 
D. metaleuca Wkr. (= plana Wkr.) (89 i). Body brownish-white, forewing light brownish, lighter whitish 
at the inner margin, with a black costal-marginal dot before the apex and more or less distinct dark dots before 
the margin and at the cross-vein. Hindwing pale yellow. Expanse of wings: 16 mm. Sumatra, Java, Borneo. 
D. sordida Sn. Brown, forewing more or less strewn with black scales, with 2 or 3 black dots in the 
centre and a row of such dots at the margin. Hindwing of $ somewhat reddish, of $ blackish. Expanse of
