L. narindra Moore (= liilaris Vollenh.) (47 g). forewing white with brown markings: two spots 
near the base, a discal band beginning broad on the proximal margin, growing narrower in front, directed towards 
the costal margin at 2 / 3 , and sending one branch each towards the base and middle of the costal margin, 
a small spot in the cell, a moon-spot at the cell-end, marginal spots, a larger, central submarginal spot, 
three spots near the anal angle. Hindwing light brown, towards the base whitish and with white marginal 
spots. Antennae, palpi, frons and three spots on the thorax, ventrum and legs blackish-brown. Abdominal 
dorsum in front brown, behind reddish, the segments above white, on the sides and beneath fringed red. Expanse 
of wings: 92 mm. Java, Sumatra. 
L. marginalis Wkr. white. Abdomen on each side with a rosy-red stripe. Tibiae and apices of 
tarsi rosy-red. Fore wing with black spots at the base and along the costal margin and with a black spot on 
the proximal margin near the base; a series of black marginal spots; 3 oblique rows of brown moon-spots. 
Length of body: 16.3 mm. Expanse of wings: 41 mm. Sarawak. 
L. galinara Swinh. (40 f). <$: antennae ochreous-grey. Palpi black, inside white. Body and wings 
white. Thorax with 3 black spots. Abdomen with black segmental bands. Forewing with 5 sinuate transverse 
bands similar as in L. lepcha. Hindwing with a grey submarginal band. Under surface uni-coloured white. 
Body and legs white, face black. — $: palpi brown. Head, body and wings dull white; forewing reddish-grey, 
dusted whitish, with traces of 3 grey transverse bands, a moon-spot at the cell-end and whitish marginal moon- 
spots. Hindwing and the whole under surface uni-coloured white. Expanse of wings: $ 59 mm, $ 93 mm. 
Singapore, Bali, Borneo, Java, New Mecklenburg, Philippines. ' 
L. lunata Stoll (41 a). <J: forewing pale brownish-grey with one antemedian, one submedian and 
one postmedian, blackish, narrow zigzag transverse band being most distinct in the costal area, near the base 
2 black spots, near them a transverse row of similar spots, in the middle of the cell a round spot and at the 
end of it an L-shaped black spot, a sublimbal row of black spots and black marginal spots. Hindwing in 
the basal half and particularly in the dorsal half hued reddish, otherwise pale greyish with a dark sublimbal 
band and small black marginal spots. $ dirty whitish, hued reddish with 3 narrow, olive greyish-brownish 
transverse bands and fringed spots, and in the cell 2 spots as in the <$. Amboina, Celebes, Aru, New Guinea, 
East Java, Philippines. — In the <$ (Philippines, according to Semper) the colour of the hindwings is different 
dark and the reddish dusting at the base is sometimes entirely absent. Behind the most distal row of black 
dots on the forewing the ground-colour is sometimes very light, resembling a whitish band (f. lunatoides form, 
nov.), which form occurs among other habitats in the Key Islands. — The larva lives near Manila on ,,Mabolo“ 
(Diospyros sp.) and ,,Macupa“ (Eugenia sp.), and besides it is reported to live on Psidium, Sesbania, Ricinus, 
,,Mauzanas de China” and preferably on Terminalia. It is brown with darker markings, close behind the head 
and in the middle with a whitish spot; on both sides of the body it has tufts of long, whitish hair, on each 
segment there are 2 bluish tubercles and on the 9th and 10th segment a red dot. — Pupa dark brown with 
single tufts of whitish hair. Pupal stage near Manila in January-February 10, in November 9 days. Flying 
from July till September, and November till May. Length of wings: $ 19 to 26 mm, $ 31 to 41 mm. In the 
Philippines common. — ichorina Btlr. (41 a). Forewing above white with 3 almost equidistant golden brown 
bands: the first interrupted and angled, the second broader, oblique, in the middle of the wing, flowing together 
with an angular discocellular band of the same colouring, the third narrow and oblique, in the middle between 
the median band and the margin; of the same colour are besides 2 or 3 basal spots, a cell-spot, the veins and 
a series of marginal spots. Hindwing reddish, towards the margin turning white, with small brown diffuse spots. 
Body whitish, antennae black. Expanse of wings: 100 mm. Amboina. 
L. maculata Semp. (41 b) from Mount Arayat in Luzon is closely allied with Beatrix Stoll, but 
distinguished by the abdomen being above uni-coloured brown, beneath uni-coloured yellow, the light markings 
on the forewings above running differently or being entirely absent, whereas the hindwing shows a long yellow 
spot before the cell and near the anal,angle. Fringes of forewings spotted, those of the hindwings at the costal 
angle black, then yellow, and at the proximal angle brownish. Length of wings: 21 to 23 mm (<J). March, 
May. 
L. curvifera Wkr. $: white, palpi black, at the base white. Antennae black. Tarsi and anterior 
tibiae likewise black. Wings with black, oblong marginal spots. Forewing with a brown zigzag line not far 
from the base, uniting with the posterior end of an oblique, brown, posteriorly expanded median band, and 
with an oblique brown band posteriorly converging with this band, in the disc with a brown spot and lunar 
figure. Expanse of wings: 63 mm. Philippines. — (The type was by mistake described as a $). 
L. simplex Pag. has an expanse of 40 mm, looks like an Acronycta, has grey palpi, yellowish antennae, 
greyish-brown legs, the body being above lighter, beneath darker grey. Forewing whitish-grey with darker 
shades, the maculae are light, surrounded by a darker tint, line of fringes dotted dark, within this line at first 
a dentate, dark undulate line, then a slightly curved transverse line and then a more strongly dentate transverse
