lowest below vein 2 is much darker in the original figure than the others which are without the black mar¬ 
gins of obliquijasciata ; but the row of spots extends divided on to the costa] margin. The white fringe at 
the ends of the veins spotted brown. Hindwing grey, but rather lighter at the veins. $ 34 mm. Formosa. 
I. disciplaga Swli. (93 h). Forewing like that of obliquifasciata, but the exterior band is altogether disciplaga. 
absent; my only specimen, however, exhibits the spot at the cross-vein prolonged far distally. Hindwing not 
different from that of obliquifasciata. $ 25-—-32 mm. Sarawak, Singapore, Tonkin. — Squamicapilla arenata 
Schultze, from the Philippines, seems to be the same species. 
I. flavirta Mell. (= disciplaga $ Swh.’(93 h) has a somewhat more yellow ground-colour than disciplaga. fiavina. 
The small greyish-yellow spots are coarser. The spot at the cross-vein is rounder, as in obliquijasciata. No 
basal spot aiul no exterior row of spots. Hindwing white, but somewhat less than in disciplaga. 36—40 mm. 
Sumatra. — Squanmra maculata Heyl. is most probably the same species, although it is described as a 
Gossida. In this case the name maculata would be prior. It is mentioned from Sumatra and Tonkin. 
1. dea Swh. (93 h). Head white, the whole body brown with a few white hairs. Forewing dark olive dea. 
brown strewn with a few dark scales in the centre of the wing and at the costal margin. Fringe pale pink. 
Hindwing dark brown. The $ is paler with a dark postcellular spot on the forewing. 24—28 mm. Rangoon. 
According to Joannis, the larva lives on Erytroxylum coca in Tonkin. 
1. minima Hmps. (93 h). Dark red-brown. Light reddish-yellow striae edged with black are in the minima. 
basal area and at the costal margin of the forewing. Blackish at the cell-end, a reddish-yellow streak behind 
it. Fringe with 3 light spots. Hindwing golden brown without any marking. The long fringe at the inner 
margin white. G, 16 mm. Ceylon. 
I. miUemaculata Hmps. Body black with long orange hair. Fore wing orange brown with numerous millemacu- 
black spots which are somewhat united in the middle of the distal margin. Hindwing black with golden yellow ^ aia 
fringe. Abdomen of $ orange, only the end black. Wings orange, forewing black at the base except at the 
costal margin. A median band of fused black spots and behind it three rows of spots nearing each other to¬ 
wards the anal angle. Hindwing with a broad exterior band of fused black spots. 20 mm. Ivhasia Mts. 
2. Genus: l^iicaiimaptera Hmps. 
Palpi porrect. Antennae of <$ shortly pectinated to the tips. Tibiae without spurs. Forewing: veins 
10 -f- 9 + 7 -f 8 stalked. Hindwing: veins 6 and 7 arise from the same place, 7 is bent so far upwards 
that it almost touches vein 8. 
E„ stigmata Hmps. (93 h). Body and forewing greyish-brown, with long hair. From the inner margin stigmata. 
near the base a dark red-brown band proceeds to the cell-end where it is expanded like a spot from which 
2 short branches extend almost vertically to the inner margin. Besides a broadly V-shaped band proceeds 
from the cell-end, the two parts of which are directed towards the costal margin. Hindwing paler without 
markings. 38 mm. Nilgiris. 
Genus: Metarbela Holl. 
This genus has been dealt with in Vol XIV, p. 507. It realR belongs to the otherwise African family 
of Metarbelidae, but the latter could be very well combined with the Indarbelidae, as we mentioned on p. 803. 
The only Indian species seems to resemble hul. dea (93 h), as which it was determined in the collection of 
the Berlin Museum. 
M. margmemaculata n. sp. (93 h). Ground-colour reddish-brown. Forewing with black spots at the margine- 
costal margin. A row of black submarginal dots on the veins. Some dark streaks at the inner margin. The maculata 
whole wing finely dusted dark. Hindwing dark brown, without any markings. 21 mm. Darjeeling. Type 
in the Berlin Museum
