D. rosea Mats. <+ Forewing yellowish-red, densely dusted with sulphur-coloured scales, strewn with 
a few brown scale-dots in the marginal half, marginal line reddish-yellow. Hindwing rosy red, fringe paler. 
Under surface rosy red, with a narrow yellowish margin. Body coloured like forewing, abdomen like hindwing. 
Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Formosa. 
Genus: Iragaodes Mats. 
Distinguished from the palaearctic Phrixolepia (Vol. II, p. 341) by the upcurved palpi, the 3rd joint 
of about half the length of the second, reaching the vertex. Antennae of and $ finely ciliate. Eorewing less 
pointed, margin slightly curved, 6 arises directly below the upper cell-angle, 7 and 8 + 9 arise from the apex 
of a small areole. 8 of hind wing anastomoses with the anterior edge of the cell on %, 3 and 4 are separated. 
Kawada considers the species to belong to the Noctuids, which is probably the case, since the areole 
of the fore wing is not observed in the other genera. 
I. nobilis Stgr. (Vol. II, p. 341, pi. 49 k) *). Of this palaearctic species the forewdng of which is reddish 
yellowish-brown, with a blackish oblique line bordered with whitish inside and extending from the apex to 
% of the inner margin, the hindwing being blackish-grey, a race formosicola Mats, was described from Formosa, 
exhibiting two distinct oblique bands, -while the space between them is filled with greyish. Expanse of wings: 
(+) 31 mm. 
I. albiceps Mats. Head snow-white, with two blackish frontal dots, body mouse-coloured, with a slight 
reddish tinge. Eorewing silky brownish-grey, marginal third chestnut-brown with a silky gloss. An oblong 
reniform macula is surrounded with white, the postmedian line narrowly wirite, excurved around the reniform 
macula, and broken below it. Antemedian line white, distinct below the cell. Submarginal line blackish, 
undulated, ending at the interior angle, distally bordered by a large round red-brown spot. Hindwing dark 
grey. Expanse of wings: 37 mm. Formosa, in April. 
Genus: Phrixolepia Btlr. 
Phr. sericea Btlr. (cf. Vol. II, p. 341, pi. 49 k) is stated by Matsttmura to occur also in Formosa. 
Genus: Altlioitarosa Kaw. 
Palpi upcurved, not reaching the vertex; antennae of serrate. Thorax and abdomen with erect 
dorsal tufts. Posterior tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. Forewing: 7—9 stalked, 11 strongly bent. Hindwing: 6+7 
stalked. 
A. horisyaemis Kaw. White, base olive brown, with a dark dot. Antemedian line indistinct. A black 
dot at the lower cell-end; postmedian line curved, brown, extending to vein 5. A black marginal dot between 
veins 7 and 8, similar dots on the white hindwing between 6 and 7, and 2 and 3. Expanse of wings: 24—31 mm. 
Formosa, in May and August. — Narosa nigricristata (p. 676, pi. 86 b) is presumably the $ of this species. 
Genus : Parana Mr. (p. 694) 
P. shirakii Kaw. seems to be allied to lepida (86 h), but the dark marginal band of the fore wing is 
much narrower, widened towards the inner margin and projecting with a dent on vein 2. Hindwing yellowish, 
reddish-brown towards the margin. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. Formosa, in April. 
Genus: Tiiosea Wkr. (p. 711) 
Th. bicolor Shir, recalls an imitdbilis Her. (p. 731), but basal half of fore wing more extensively dark, 
distally bordered convex, submarginal line curved. Expanse of wings: 21 mm. Formosa. 
Genus: Iragohles Her. (p. 709) 
I. basifusca Kaw. is most similar to I. jasciata Mr., but the dark basal third of the forewing is bordered 
by a very oblique dark line extending from the centre of the costal margin along the latter almost to the 
apex; submarginal line somewhat more curved than in jasciata. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Formosa, in 
September. 
I. castanea Wil. This species described as Thosea has, according to Ivawada (Jr. Ins. Agr. Exp. Sta. I 
p. 238) only serrate antennae, thus it presumably belongs to Iragoides.
