CISPIA. By Dr. E. Strand. 
novaguine- L. novaguineensis B.-Bak. (41 b). '<$: grey, in some places liued reddish. Forewing white with black 
ensis - markings: 2 basal spots, a row of 3 antemeclian spots, a median, interrupted line beginning in a costal spot, 
a small spot in the cell and one on the discocellular, 2 irregular, strongly dentate lines ending near the anal angle, 
an interrupted and irregular subterminal line, finally black marginal spots. Hindwing white, in the dorsal 
area somewhat yellowish, the margin with 2 black spots near the apex, traces of a dark discocellular spot. Expanse 
of wings: 68 mm. British New Guinea. In March and April, and August. Perhaps the same species as A. 
turner i. 
turneri. L. turner! Sivinh. (— aurora Trnr. nec Wkr.) (40 c). <$■. head whitish with a red line of the posterior 
margin, palpi dark with whitish apices. Antennae black with whitisch combs. Thorax whitish. Abdomen 
red with a white basal spot and a row of 4 black spots on the apical segments. Legs whitish, marked red and 
black. Forewing whitish-grey with dark markings: 2 spots each on and behind the base of the costal 
margin, 3 undulate transverse lines, a median disced spot and a series of marginal spots; fringes greyish-white. 
Hindwing ochreous-whitish, towards the costal margin and posterior margin hued red; fringes whitish. 52 mm. 
— $ with stunted wings, whitish, forewing with 2 interrupted dark lines beyond the middle. Head and thorax 
whitish. Abdomen ochreous-brown. — Cape York, Cooktown, Queensland; in June. Larva on Eucalyptus 
tessellatus and other trees. Closely allied with L. antennata. A form of this species is probably a <$ from the 
Coll. Seitz without the patria being stated; in the Berlin Museum, however, there is a corresponding specimen 
from the former Coll. Maassen with the statement ,,North Australia“ and the (manuscript ?) name of Lymantria 
undifera. undifera form. nov. (40 c) which I have retained. ■— Head without any visible red line of the posterior margin. 
Antennal combs brownish-grey, the shaft in the middle blackish, otherwise whitish-grey. Thoracal dorsum 
behind the middle with 2 small, black spots situate close together. The abdomen is above and laterally only 
very slightly reddish, without a distinct white spot at the base and only with traces of black spots. Marginal 
spots of forewings very small; otherwise the marginal area is of the whitish-grey ground-colour, only with traces 
of some sublimbal dark dots. Hindwing not red, but in the dorsal area feebly hued yellowish. Length of wings: 
19 mm; expanse of wings: about 41 mm*). 
31. Genus: Cispia Wkr. 
Distinguished from Lymantria especially by the longer and narrower palpi with a long and brushed 
second joint, whilst the third is very small. Antennae in both sexes with long combs. In the forewing 3, 4 and 5 
rise from near the angle, 6 from the anterior angle, 8 and 9 on a very long footstalk and about from the middle 
of this footstalk rise 10 and 7. In the hinclwing 3, 4 and 5 are likewise separated, although they rise near the 
angle, 6 and 7 from the anterior angle. The genus is exclusively Indian, distributed from the Himalaya to 
Ceylon and to the east as far as the Philippines and contains 16 forms. The imagines do not seem to be very 
common. 
pundifas- C. pursctifascia Wkr. (39 h). Body orange. Antennae black, shaft laterally white. Collar, thorax and 
cm. tegulae spotted black. Abdomen with a lateral row of black spots. Forewing brownish-orange with light yellow 
veins, two black, subbasal spots and an orange median band which is between the veins bordered with red-brown, 
distally white-margined streaks. Hindwing orange with a curved postmedian band from the costal margin 
to vein 2 on the under surface. Expanse of wings: $ 50, $ 70 mm. India, Sikkim, Assam, Bhutan, Ceylon. 
—- In the typical form from North India the orange band of the forewing reaches both to the costal margin 
inferior a. and posterior margin. In f. interiora form. nov. from the lowlands in Ceylon the bands of the forewing only 
superiora. extends from the anterior angle of the cell to vein 1. whereas in f. superiora form. nov. flying in higher districts 
of Ceylon the curved median band of the hindwing is much more strongly developed, the marginal area being 
hued reddish with yellow streaks on the veins, the black dorsal and lateral spots of the abdomen being larger, 
and the whole imago larger and darker. Expanse of wings: $ 62, $ 76 mm. 
*) As a footnote we insert here as a preliminary completion of Vol. II the meanwhile newly described 
Algerian genus: 
nisseni. L. nisseni Bothsch. 2: head and antennae, as well as abdomen yellowish greyish-brown, dusted black, 
a black streak below and one in the cell, a black discocellular ring, 2 postmedian, black transverse lines broken in 
a zigzag way, fringes indistinctly spotted black. Hindwing light yellowish greyish-brown, the anal half blackened, 
a submarginal band and a discocellular spot indicated by more intense black dusting. Length of forewings: 
20 mm. — Captured at the end of June in Khenchela, Algeria.
