PSYCHE. By M. Gaede. 
e) Subfamily: Psychinae. 
The two inner-marginal veins of the fore wing despatch a single spur to the inner margin. The posterior tibiae 
are shorter than the anterior ones. 
9. Genus: Psyche SchrJc. 
All that is necessary to say about this genus is mentioned in Vol. II, p. 361. 
Subgenus: Heylaertsia Hmps. 
Veins 1 b and 1 c of forewing fused in the distal halves, besides a ray extends to the inner margin. Vein 6 is present, 
the partition-vein in the cell forked. Hindwing without vein 6, partition-vein not forked, vein 8 connected with the cell 
by a bar. 
Ps. griseata Hmps. (91 a). Body and forewing blackish-brown, forewing with a bluish-grey spot be- griseata. 
hind and below the centre. Hindwing bluish-grey, narrowly dark brown at the margin. 23 mm. Ceylon. 
Ps. fusca Hmps. (91 a). Body and wings uniformly dark brown without any marking. — Larval sac fusca. 
about 12 mm long, quite similar to the well-known sac of Am. quadr angular is . <$ 23 mm. Ceylon. 
Ps. nudilineata Hmps. (91 a). Body dark brown, wings somewhat lighter brown. 4 parallel distinct nudilineata. 
brownish ochreous transverse stripes on the forewing, 3 very obsolete stripes on the hindwing. Judging 
from the original figure of the neuration, the species cannot belong to this group, for the hindwing shows 
the partition-vein forked and vein 6 present. <§ 18 mm. Ceylon. 
Veins 8 +9 of forewing stalked in the preceding species, but veins 
7 + 8 in the following species. 
Ps. laniata Hmps. Body and wings blackish-brown, both long-haired. Veins 7 + 8 of forewing on laniata. 
a short stalk, 9 + 10 on a long one. Veins 4 + 5 of hindwing stalked. <$ 14 mm. Ceylon. 
Ps. quadripuncta Hmps. Vein 9 of forewing arises near the base of 7 + 8. This species is also uni- quadri- 
fornrly blackish-brown, with a silky gloss. Fore wing with some white scales, a white streak at the cross- puncta. 
vein and a white spot above the centre of the inner margin, where veins 1 b and 1 c are united. $ 15 mm. 
Ceylon. 
Subgenus: Chalioides Hmps. 
Veins 4 + 5 and 8 + 9 of forewing stalked, 6 absent. Vein 8 of hindwing connected with the cell by a bar. Par¬ 
tition-vein of cell forked in both wings. Forewing rather pointed. 
Ps. vitrea Hmps. (91 b). Body greyish-brown. Eorewing and hindwing transparent, only with a black vitrea. 
marginal line, <$ 24 mm. Ceylon. 
Ps. ferevitrea Joann. (91 b). Wings diaphanous, some black scales only at the anal angle of the hind- ferevitrea. 
wing. Antennae black, rather long pectinated, white hairs on the anterior tibiae. Eorewing oblong, round¬ 
ed at the apex. Veins 4+5 always on a long stalk, vein 7 absent according to Joannis and not vein 
6, 8 + 9 almost invariably on a long stalk, sometimes 9 is absent. All the veins of the hindwing are sepa¬ 
rate, the partition-vein of the cell is hardly ever forked. Sac 21—26 mm long, 3 y 2 —4 y 2 mm thick, of greyish- 
white silk, c? 19 mm. Tonkin. 
Subgenus: Manatha Mr. 
Separated from Chalioides by the presence of vein 6 on the forewing, which arises near the upper cell-angle. Parti¬ 
tion-vein of cell not forked in both wings. This group is also represented in the Ethiopian fauna. 
Ps. albipes Mr. (93 a). Uniformly dark brown, only the tarsi purely white. — Larval sac about albipes. 
25 mm long and in front 8 mm thick, grey, spun with small remnants of plants. <$ 19 mm. Ceylon. 
Ps. SCOtopepla Hmps. Veins 4 and 5 of forewing from the cell, 11 anastomoses with vein 12 at one scotopepla. 
place. Uniformly blackish-brown, only the tarsi are white. Larval sac covered with small pieces of bark. It 
lives on tea. ^ 14 mm. Cachar. 
Subgenus: Eurycyttarus Hmps. ( Eurukuttarus Hmps.). 
a) Veins 7 and 8+9 of forewing from the upper cell-angle. 
Ps. melanostola Hmps. Body black-haired. All the wings reddish-brown, darker at the veins and melano- 
margins. $ 18 mm. Khasia Mts. stola 
Ps. pileatus Hmps. (91 a). Blackish-brown, body and bases of wings somewhat paler. The original pileatus. 
figure exhibits besides a light radial streak in the cell of the forewing. <$ 18 mm. Nilgiris.
