TYLANTHES; MITHUNA; RHAGOPHANES. By Dr. M. Dbaidt 
21: 
129. Genus: Tylantlies Meyr. 
Only* one most peculiar species with a well developed proboscis, erect, rather short palpi, in'the <$ ciliated 
antennae and hairy abdomen with a long anal tuft. Forewing broad. The shows beneath in the basal area 
rough scales and a thick pad of short hair in an indentation near the rise of the lower median vein with a 
tuft of short hair above it at the costal fold being broadly turned over downward; the discal cell is very 
narrow; 1st median and 3rd radial are petiolecl, the 2nd is absent: the subcostal veins and the upper radial 
as in Meteura. The hindwing has a costal fold covered with large, long scales and at the end of it a very 
large, thick pad of hair; the cell is absent altogether, and the median sends only one single branch to the 
apex. 
T. ptochias Meyr. is yellowish-brown, with light yellow hindwings and blackish-brown scent-pads. 
Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Neu Guinea (Port Moresby). 
130. Genus: Jlltliinia Moore. 
Palpi short, rising obliquely, anteriorly haired, proboscis developed; abdomen hairy; <$ antennae combed 
or ciliated. Forewing short and broad with a bent costal margin. 1st median and 3rd radial petiolecl, the 2nd 
absent, the 4 lower subcostal veins petiolecl, the uppermost anastomoses with the costal vein. In the hindwing 
the 1st median is petiolecl with the 3rd radial, the subcostal with the 1st radial the 2nd radial being absent. 
M. fuscivena limps. (14 g) is a very small, insignificant, brownish-grey species with darker striped 
veins; hindwing dull ochreous-yellow, towards the costal margin darker. Ceylon, Borneo. Java. 
M. quadriplaga Moore (14 h 15 d $). Head and collar orange-yellow; thorax greyish-brown, 
abdomen lighter. Forewing brown, at the costal base dusted brownish-grey; in the middle and before the 
margin indistinct, darker transverse lines; hinclwing light brown. The $ has a dark brown head and collar. 
Sikkim. Bhutan. 
M. quadrilineata Rothsch. Antennae brown, head and thorax dark orange, abdomen recldish-grey. 
Forewing deep orange brownish with 4 irregular black transverse lines, the most distal one broken up into 
spots; the two posterior ones are in the middle connected by a longitudinal streak. Hindwings reddish-yellow. 
Length of forewings: 13 mm. Mount Goliath, Dutch New Guinea. — subsp. dilutior Rothsch. is coloured much 
lighter, the transverse lines are grey. Oetakwa River. 
M. strigifera limps, (14 h) has light grey forewings clustecl red-brown towards the proximal margin; 
at the costal margin behind the middle a black spot from which an acute-angularly broken line runs obliquely 
to the proximal margin; in the cell a dark streak; towards the apex some indistinct streak-spots. Hindwings 
brownish-grey. Sikkim. 
M. arizana Wil. antennae with tufts of ciliae. Head and thorax light brown, abdomen lighter. 
Forewing light brown, speckled dark; median line dark brown, somewhat oblique, above the middle inter¬ 
rupted. Submarginal line dark brown, rather broad, strongly interrupted. Hindwing dark, border and fringes 
yellowish. $ similar, but the median line of the forewing not interrupted ; hinclwing lighter than in the 
24 mm. Arizan (Formosa); taken in autumn. 
131. Genus: Khagopliaiies Zell. 
Forehead long-haired, palpi very short, proboscis developed; the hairy abdomen exhibits at the end 
laterally long hair-tufts. Forewing rather broad, costal margin convex as far as the middle, then straight: 
the two median veins are petroled with the lower radial. 2nd radial absent ; the upper radial petiolecl with the 
4 lower subcostal veins; 1st subcostal vein anastomoses after a short course with the costal. The hinclwing 
is in the split in the middle as far as the cell, the proximal margin inverted and long-haired, the venation 
similar as in the preceding, but the subcostal and radial 1 fused. 
R. tortriciformis Zell. (14 g). Forewing light brown, dusted blackish, at the costal margin before 
the middle a black spot, another one in the middle of the inner-marginal vein, and a short, oblique streak-spot 
below the 2nd median, near its rise, at the apex black marginal clots; hindwings more yellowish. Java.
