low. The anal tuft and the lateral tufts with yellow lines. Legs yellow with black lines. Wings transparent, 
especially in the distal area of the forewing very clear. A yellow spot at the base, the black streak at the 
cross-vein fine. Margins and veins bluish-black, a few yellow scales at the distal margin. Hindwing with 
very narrow margins, a streak on the cross-vein scarcely present. Palpi of 9 almost only yellow. Body be¬ 
neath quite yellow: above all the yellow markings more distinct, the anal tuft only with a black line. Fore¬ 
wing with a broader distal margin, so that the partition-place of veins 7 + 8 is no more in the hyaline 
area, the yellow dusting more intense. The dark margin on the hindwing is broader. Both wings with yellow 
fringes at the inner margins. 20—25 mm. Tonkin. 
S. leucocyanea Zukowsky (94 b). Body black. Thorax presumably with bluish-white lines (scoured leucocya- 
off). The 2nd, 4th and 6th segments of the abdomen above with narrow white margins, the 3rd, 4th 
and 5th segments beneath broader white. Anal tuft black, whitish outside. Antennae black, brown below. 
Legs black with bluish-white spots. Wings transparent, veins and margins broad black. A yellow r spot above 
the inner margin of the forewing. Costal margin of forewing beneath whitish. $ 23 mm. Canton. 
11. Genus: Dipsospliecia Splr. 
The genus has already been dealt with in Vol. II, p. 396. The only species w r hich may reach the 
Indian region is: 
D. xantlwsticta limps, which is described from Cashmir in the palaearctic region. Hampson placed 
the species later on to the genus Gonopia. 
12. Genus: Oaea Beutenm. (= Larunda Edw.). 
Antennae of <$ feebly pectinated, of $ plain. Palpi short, broadly hairy, proboscis stunted. Ab¬ 
domen long, anal tuft broad. Hind tibiae with long hair-tufts. Forewing without hyaline spots. Hindwing 
with small basal spots. Type: solitnda Edw. from North America. 
G. variegata Wkr. Coppery black. The fourth to sixth abdominal segments bright red, each of these variegata. 
segments is black at the posterior end. Third segment with a yellow lateral spot. All the segments beneath 
margined with pale yellow. Wings bluish-black. “16 lines”. Hongkong. 
G. leucozona Hmps. Body bluish-black, palpi black and white, fiery red spots on the thorax. Yel- leucozona.

mostly white. Abdomen beneath with a yellowish-white band on the 5th segment. Forewing bluish-black 
with a hyaline stripe in the cell and in the submedian fold. Hindwing hyaline from the base to behind the 
cell and to the anal angle, the rest bluish-black. Apex of fore wing beneath and the base of the costal 
margin on the hindwing whitish ochreous. 30—32 mm. Assam. 
13. Genus : Tradescanticola limps. 
Proboscis exceptionally stunted. Palpi projecting beyond the frons. Antennae thickened towards 
the ends, with an apical pencil. Front tibiae not very hairy, middle tibiae above and below' with long 
hair, hind tibiae with still longer hair. Anal tuft of d long. Forewing narrow. Veins 2, 3, 4 coincident, 
7 + 8 stalked, 11 absent. Vein 2 of hindwing arises near the cell-angle, 3 + 5 stalked, 6 above the centre 
of the cross-vein.

somewhat transparent in the middle. Fringe black. Hindwing of $ hyaline, veins and margins broadly 
blackish-brown. 14 mm. Java. 
14. Genus: diamaiithedon Le Cerf. 
Also without the proboscis. Palpi short. Antennae spindle- shaped. Anal tuft of E long. Wings narrow. 
Veins 7 + 8 of forewing on a short stalk, 10 absent. Veins 3 + 4 of hindwing on a very short stalk, 6 from 
the centre of the cross-vein, 7 from the upper cell-angle. Type: hypochroma Le Cerf. 
Ch. xanthopleura Le Cerf (94 b). Body blackish-blue, anal tuft reddish-yellow in the middle, yellow xanthopleu- 
below at the end. Middle and hind tibiae yellow. Wings hyaline with black veins and margins. Cross-vein of ra -
