semihyalina. D. semihyalhia Hmps. (39 e). <$: body white. Antennal pinnae black. Vertex with three black spots. 
Abdomen with black dorsal transverse bands. Forewing hyaline with a white dorsal-basal spot. Hindwing 
in the costal half hyaline, in the dorsal half white. Expanse of wings: 52 mm. $ white. Abdomen with a 
series of 6 black spots, thorax with 3 black spots. Veins 3+4 and 5 + 6 on shorter footstalks. Expanse

23. Genus: Cohaiolla Moora. 
This genus was described as a ,,Drepanulid“ genus and also left in the Drepanids in Hampson’s ..Fauna 
of British India”. According to Swixhoe, however, it belongs to the Lymantriids; this author has unfortunately 
not given any good reasons for this assertion, nor has he mentioned that the genus has formerly been considered 
as a Drepanid. It is unknown to me in nature. — The triangular wings being curved at the ends certainly make 
the species resemble the Drepanids, and the neuration, according to Moore’s description, seems to be most 
similar to that of Oreta, to which Hampson places Cobanilla as synonym. But the descriptions of the two authors 
seem to contradict each other, since Moore describes the palpi to be ,,small, apex minute”, whereas Hampson 
says, that they are ,,upturned, reaching vertex of head”. Posterior tibiae with 4 spurs, forelegs densely haired, 
antennae bi-combed with ciliated teeth. Body short. 
marginata. C. rnarginata Moore (39 d). + : body ochreous with a red frons. Forewing yellow with a red costal 
margin, in the costal and marginal area brownish-red. The discocellular spot indistinct dark. Hindwing yellow 
with reddish-brown fringes. Under surface hued crimson. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Ceylon, East Pegu. 
plumhacea. C. plumbacea Swinh. <+ lead-coloured, speckled with fine silvery scales. Forewing with a black spot 
at the cell-end, a blackish costal line and costal spot and a similar indistinct discal band; margin of the forewing 
near the apex and of the hindwing behind the middle hued blackish. Under surface ochreous-grev. Forewing 
slightly hued blackish. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Nawngchik (Malayan Peninsula, 2500ft.); beginning of 
May. 
24. Genus : Beta Wkr. 
The species bein unknowng to me in nature, I can only repeat the original description. Swinhoe (in 1903) 
mentions the genus as maintainable, but he does not add anything to the original description. •— 9: body 
rather thin, almost linear. Head large, palpi very short, the third joint minute. Antennae with long pinnae, 
more than half as long as the body. Abdomen projects beyond the anal angle. Legs strong; posterior tibiae 
with two small, apical spurs. Wings very narrow. Forewing very much longer than the hindwing; the first 
and second lower veins touch each other at the base, the fourth is about four times more distant from the third 
than the latter is from the second. — Walker distinguishes the genus from Beralade by the much narrower 
wings of Icta\ Beralade, however, is in fact a Lasiocampid. — Thus it is not stated whether it is an Areolata 
or Inareolata. 
fulviceps. I. fulviceps Wkr. <+ black; head, palpi, antennae, anterior part of thorax, apex of abdomen and 
legs reddish yellowish-brown, the hindlegs above black, forewing with a yellowish-brown costal margin. Expanse 
of wings: 22% mm. Australia. 
25. Genus: Miuayelerjisi Wkr. 
Walker’s description says: Body rather strong. Proboscis moderately long (NB!). Palpi strong, 
densely haired, obliquely rising, but not reaching the vertex, the third joint minute. Antennae moderately 
(long?) combed. Abdomen feebly tapering off from the base to the apex, projecting beyond the hinclwings, 
anal brush small. Legs rather short and thin, femora with long hair-fringes, spurs short. Forelegs very strong. 
Wings rather broad. Fore wing slightly pointed, costa straight, margin slightly convex and rather oblique. — 
Thus it is not stated, whether it is an Areolata or Inareolata. 
senicula. M. senicula Wkr. Grey. Proboscis and antennal combs reddish-yellow. Wings with a black marginal 
line interrupted by the veins, the under surface with a vei} broad, submarginal, dark brown band. Abdomen 
brownish. Forewing with two black basal streaks and with two undulate black transverse lines, the first streak 
being transverse, the second longitudinal, the first line is at 1 / i of the length of the costal margin, the second 
it dentate and extends at 2 / 3 of the length of the wing; in the disc a black lunar figure between the two 
lines. Hindwing with an undulate, indistinct, brown transverse line at 2 / 3 of its length. Expanse of wings: 
28% mm. Moreton Bay.
