colour is only left at the apex and inner margin. The original figure looks somewhat different. Hindwing flesh- 
coloured at the margin. 65 mm. Manila. A specimen from Perak almost corresponds to the description, 
but the black striae at the inner margin of the forewing extend to the cell. The ground-colour of both wings 
is more ochreous. Black reticulate lines on the hinclwing extend from the margin between the veins wedge¬ 
like inwards. We figure this specimen here. 
X. keyensis Strd. Body and fore wing white, with distinct black striae forming reticulate lines in the keyensis. 
marginal area, partly with reticulate lines also at the inner margin. Brown spots at the margin on the veins. 
Besides a series of brown spots about 7 mm distant from the margin. Moreover, a band begins narrowly 
at the costal margin. 30 mm distant from the distal margin and extends in an irregular shape to vein 1 
where it ends about 40 mm from the base. Besides 3 interior lines the innermost of which begins 14 mm 
from the base; all 3 parallel and extending to below the centre of the wing. Hindwing whitish, densely striated 
black in the marginal area. 9 220 mm. Key I. 
We add here 4 rather dissimilar species which are somewhat similar to Zeuzera and Azygophleps in the scheme of 
marking. Veins 4 and 5 of hindwing separated, but vein 6 makes a bend opposite the straight anterior edge of the cell, 
as in Azygophleps. 
X. pardicolor Mr. (= pardalis Dudg.) (99 d). Thorax brownish-white, with 3 black spots on each side, pardicolor. 
Abdomen with black segmental margins, interrupted in the middle. Forewing brownish-white with large 
black streaks. A large round black spot behind the cell and a few more in the marginal area. Hindwing 
spotted dark brown, the veins lighter, light striae before the margin. 46 mm. Sikkim. 
X. ruficeps Joann. (97 a). Body olive brown, patagia darker. Forewing olive brown, with somewhat ruficeps. 
thicker black costal-marginal streaks than the others as far as the inner margin. Black from above vein 2 
almost to the costal margin, with olive brown veins and similar spots and striae. Hindwing blackish-brown. 
Lighter in the submedian fold and with black striae. <$ 45 mm. Sumatra, Tonkin. The Sumatran specimen 
has been figured. I feel sure that it is identical with ruficeps. 
X. stigmaticus Mr. (98 d) has been described as Cossus, then placed to Azygophleps, and finally to stigmaticus. 
this genus here. It is unlike any other species. Body and forewing ochreous with a few brown transverse lines 
and brown postcellular spots. A large reddish-black spot below the base of vein 2, and a small red one 
below it. Hindwing more yellow, without markings. A 50 mm. Sikkim. 
X. magniguttata sp. n. (96 c). Thorax greyish-yellow with 2 black spots each in front and behind, magnigutta- 
Abdomen rusty brown with black segmental margins. Forewing olive brown, the thick black streaks somewhat ta ‘ 
like those of Zeuzera multistrigata (96 c). Costal margin greyish-yellow as far as the cell, not so at the end 
of the areole. A light triangle behind it almost to the apex. Further greyish-yellow places are the first third 
of the cell, the cell-end, a spot between veins 3 and 5, the distal margin, and the inner mai’gin. Hindwing 
dark brown, with indistinct dark spots in front, the narrow margin somewhat lighter and spotted. $ 100 mm. 
New South Wales. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
X. tectorius Swh. According to the author somewhat like maculatus. One might also say, it resembles tectorius. 
a large mixta. Body greyish ochreous. Forewing white, finely striated brown. A large brown spot at the 
base from the costal margin to the median vein. A small square spot behind the centre of the costal margin, 
and a few before and behind it. Hindwing greyish-white with brown striae. $ 55 mm. Salomons. 
X. euphyes West. The whole body whitish mixed with brown. Fore wing whitish with brown striae. Two euphyes. 
brown spots at the costal margin at % and % of the length of the wing, and one above the centre of the 
inner margin. Size not stated, but the species is said to resemble tectorius, from which we may draw conclu¬ 
sions. Hindwing white, finely striated brown in the distal area. $ 51 mm. Luzon. 
X. euphanes West. Also similar to tectorius. Body and forewing brown Greyish-brown at the base euphancs. 
as far as % of the costal margin and % of the inner margin. This basal area is divided by a bone-brown 
streak which is divided by a similar one at the end of the basal area. A greyish-brown shadow from % of 
the costal margin to the centre of the inner margin encloses two conspicuous bone-brown spots. One of them 
at the cross-vein, the other below the base of vein 2. Hindwing brown. 54 mm. Luzon. 
The following species described as Endoxyla ( Zeuzera ) probably all or nearly all belong to this genus here. The 
descriptions do not show near which of the preceding species they might be ranged. 
X. cretosa Trnr. Body blackish-grey with white scales. Forewing white with grey scales and marked cretosa. 
black. Black streaks at the costal margin, besides a faded spot from x / 5 to 2 / 5 of the costal margin, from which 
streaks and lines proceed, extending along the inner margin. A blackish-brown spot composed of lines at % 
of the costal margin. A series of groups of black lines before the distal margin extend to the centre of the 
inner margin, where they are reticulately dissolved. Hindwing grey and smoky brown, white at the distal 
margin and with dark reticulate lines. Both wings with black marginal dots. 80—115 mm. Brisbane.
