the anal angle and vein 3, brown, edged with dark. Hindwing with 3 dark brown lines edged with blackish- 
brown, the innermost line broader. 52 mm. British New Guinea. We figure a $ from Malacca, which probably 
belongs to this species, judging from the hindwing. 
6. Genus: Dixoa Hmps. 
Forewing triangular with a pointed apex. Veins 7 + 8 and 9 + 10 stalked. Veins 6 and 7 of hindwing 
well separated. 
D. albatalis Swh. has been dealt with in Vol. II, p. 373, pi. 50 e; it occurs in North-West India, 
probably not in Ceylon, as hitherto stated. 
7. Genus: Striglina Gn. 
Palpi erect, projecting beyond frons. Antennae of somewhat thickened and flattened. All the veins 
of the fore wing separate. The same is the case in the hindwing, where veins 6 and 7 arise distantly separated. 
Type: scitaria Wkr. — Warren has described a great number of species of this genus, which are now placed 
to Plagiosella. Owing to the lack of material we cannot decide whether some more species belong to that genus, 
but it is not probable. 
S. scitaria Wkr. (91 d). The typical form has already been dealt with in Vol. II, p. 373, pi. 50 f, but 
many species or forms were united with it as synonyms, which are better kept separated. — cancellata Christ., 
however, seems to be identical judging from the specimens at hand. — strigosa Mr. is an intensely brown form 
which may be specially denominated. The line from the apex of the forevdng to the centre of the inner margin 
of the hindwing is very thin here, particulary in the anterior part. — burger si Gaede, from New Guinea, is some¬ 
what paler than fresh scitaria. It differs in the genitals so considerably from scitaria that it may be considered 
a distinct species, but it is mentioned here as a form, exterior differences being regarded as more essential. 
S, vialis Mr. (93 a) is a much larger species with a much thicker line from the apex of the forewing 
to the centre of the inner margin of the hindwing. The forewing mostly exhibits a distinct spot at the cross¬ 
vein. 32—38 mm. India, China, Sumatra. 
S. strigipennis Mr. (91 d) is sized between scitaria and vialis. The line from the apex is somewhat thinner 
than in vialis. The large spot on the forewing is absent and replaced by an almost horizontal line. A branch 
extends from the main line behind the cell to the anal angle. North India, South China. 
S. navigatorum Fldr. (93 a) occurring quite isolated in the Fiji Is. shows the interior areas of both 
wings yellow. The costal margin of the fore wing is somewhat reddish, and the distal area behind the line ex¬ 
tending as in scitaria is intensely reddened in both wings. $ 34 mm. 
S. curvilinea Warr. Similar to scitaria (91 cl), but the dark oblique line of the fore wing does not extend 
straight to the centre of the inner margin, but it is excurved and meets the inner margin behind the middle, 
it is more indistinct than in scitaria. Ground-colour ochreous, striation brown. A feeble brown spot at the 
upper cell-end, from which sometimes traces of a line extend to the main line at vein 2. The main line is situate 
before the centre in the hindwing and is thicker here. A curved row of streaks extends from the costal margin 
near the main line almost to the anal angle. 22—25 mm. Salomons Is., Bali, Queensland. 
S. pyrrhata Wkr. (= australina Gn.) (91 d). Body and wings ochreous, sometimes also more reddish, 
with dark reticulate lines. A dark oblique line on the forewing from the disc at % to 3 / 5 of inner margin. Costal 
margin sometimes with dark dots. Hindwing similarly coloured and marked, the dark line in the centre. The 
species is easily recognizable bv the straight costal margin and the pointed apex of the forewing, whereby it 
resembles the genus Camadena. 24—30 mm. Australia. 
S pallidirufa Hmps. The description of the upper surface is exactly like that of pyrrhata (91 d), but 
as nothing is said about the wdng-contours, they are evidently normal and not as in pyrrhata. The forewing 
beneath has only a small central spot which is replaced in pyrrhata by a broad dark band. $ 32 mm. Salomons Is. 
S. centiginosa Luc. (= striglina Trnr., cypholoma Trnr.). Body and wings dark brownish ochreous 
or dark red-brown. Distal margin of forewing undulated as far as vein 4, concave below it as far as the anal 
angle. The whole surface of the wing is covered with dark striae or small spots, but mostly only a dark median 
band is present. Hindwing the same. 20—24 mm. Brisbane, Melbourne. 
S. stramentaria Luc. (91 d). Body and wings from light to dark red-brown with reticulated rusty yellow 
lines. A dark rusty red line from % of costal margin to 3 / 5 of inner margin. Hindwing similar. 22—28 mm. 
Queensland.
