L. nivosa Wkr. white, head in front yellowish. Palpi extremely short. Antennae with long combs. 
Abdomen projecting beyond the anal angle. Wings almost hyaline, the forewing at the apex rounded off, with 
a slightly oblique and slightly convex border. Expanse of wings: 45 mm. Mount. Ophir, Malacca. 
L. thyridophora limps. (39 a as thyridoptera). $: body yellowish white. The whole forewing, except the 
margins, is occupied by a very irregular, hyaline area, but with two antemedian scales and a discocellular band 
of an ochreous-white colour, some dark scales at the tipper angle of the cell and in the centre of the posterior 
margin, as well as an indistinct submarginal line. Hindwing ochreous-white, with an irregular hyaline area 
in and beyond the cell-end. Expanse of wings: 50 mm. Sikkim. 
L. egens Fldr. §: wings scantily scaled, the forewing pointed, fringes and marginal line brownish, 
body and legs white. Expanse of wings probably about 40 mm. Amboina. 
L. subargentea Fldr. In the $ and $ the wings are densely scaled, silvery white, the forewing obtuse, 
antennae reddish-yellow, body white, palpi, forelegs and tarsi of the hindlegs reddish-yellow. Amboina. 
L. minutissima Swinh. <$: purely white; frons, antennal pinnae, and tarsi greyish-ochreous, a very 
small black spot at the end of the cell of the forewing; otherwise uni-coloured white. Expanse of wings: 17 mm. 
Sarawak (Borneo). 
L. pellucida Swinh. (39 d). Both sexes white; palpi and vertex orange, frons white. Wings almost 
hyaline, with an orange costal-marginal line and the fringes hued orange; forewing with a small, black, sharply 
defined discocellular spot. Forelegs orange, hindlegs white. Expanse of wings: <$ 42, $ 54 mm. Khasia Hills. 
L. rufimarginata Swinh. $ and $ purely silky-white; palpi, antennal pinnae, underside of the body 
and of the legs ochreous-grey, the legs with dark brown spots. The costal margin of the forewing reddish, of 
which colour are also the discocellular spot, border and fringes of both wings. Expanse of wings: £ 24%, $ 
37 mm. — Most closely allied with L. submarginata Wkr. (39 b). Pulo Laut. 
L. primula Swinh. (39 f). In the cj and $ the palpi are chestnut-brown, below and inside whitish. 
Antennae grey, frons chestnut-brown. Legs, body and wings above and beneath unicoloured light bone-coloured, 
forewing with the apical third of the costal margin and the border, inclusive of the fringes, of a dark chestnut- 
brown, hindwing with the marginal line and fringes shortly before the middle as far as near the anal angle simi¬ 
larly coloured, forewing with a small, brown discocellular spot. Sangir. 
L. flora Swinh. (39 g). <$: palpi and antennae chestnut-brown, ochreous, antennal shaft speckled grey 
and white, frons and vertex white, the space between the antennae chestnut-brown, forelegs spotted brown 
with ochreous tarsi. Body and wings white, thorax and forewing very scantily dusted brown, at the cell-end a 
similar, blurred moon-spot, the costal area near the end and the marginal area partly brownish. Hindwing other¬ 
wise unmarked, but with triangular marginal spots and the fringes of a light chestnut-brown tint. Expanse 
of whngs: 27 mm. Pulo Laut; Sandakan. 
14. Genus: Caragola Moore. 
This genus (= Caveria Hmps. nec Wkr.) is distributed across India and is also found in South America. 
In the palearct.ic region there occurs only one species ( sericea ) in Tibet and Cashmir penetrating from India. 
About the genus itself vid. Vol. II, p. 124. 
C. clara Wkr. from Sikkim and Hongkong has a white body with orange extremities and light brown 
antennal combs. Wings silvery white, the forewing with two oblique, curved bands formed of raised, silvery 
white scales, outside the cell. ^ 36, $ 48 mm. 
C. collucens T. P. Luc. white. Palpi ochreous. Forewing with 8 or 9 lustrous silvery streaks 
in front near the posterior margin, the first 4 or 5 of which extend as far as the cell, the others almost to the 
costal margin. Veins silvery white. Brisbane: 26 to 34 mm. — Is allied to C. clara,-, but it was described 
as Porthesia. 
C. costalis Moore (47 b). d: purely silky white. The costal margin of the forev-ing is black and turned 
round near the apex, at the base slightly ochreous, the veins higher than their surroundings. Body ochreous 
white, antennae with ochreous pinnae, palpi at the sides and the head beneath black. Forelegs above black. 
Expanse of wings: 50 mm. Sikkim.
