EUPROCTIS. By Dr. E. Strand. 
into this light area extend two short continuations of the brown part; a little before the middle of the wing 
extends an ochreous transverse band, above the middle of the wing a large ochreous spot. Hind wing and under 
surface light odireous, uni-coloLived. Expanse of wings: $ 24%, $ 32 mm. Andamans. 
discinota. E. discinota Moore (44 b). Above light ochreous, forewing with 2 dark median transverse bands 
spotted chestnut, the distal band being convex towards the margin and cut by lighter veins; at the ceU-end 
a black spot. Under surface lighter, both wings with an indistinct, dark ochreous transverse band and a black 
snot at the cell-end. 40 mm. S. Andamans. Certainly closely allied with E. plana (43 f) *). 
We insert here a number of Euproctis already described in the palearctic part (Vol. II, p. 136 to 139). 
As more accurate statements have been made there only about their.occurrence in the palearctic region, we 
merely add here their occurrence in the Indo-Australian region. 
flavinata. E. flavinata Wkr. (Vol. II, t. 23 a) lives except in China also in the greatest part of India and in 
Burma, as well as Ceylon, where the species is common, and in Borneo.

lunata. 
cervina. 
albodentata. 
E. sulphurescens Moore (Vol. II, t. 21 li) crosses the Indian frontier in Cashmir. 
E. lunata Wkr. (Vol. II, p. 21 g) is distributed across the whole of India and Ceylon. 
E. cervina Moore (Vol. II, t. 23 a) likewise extends to the south as far as Ceylon. 
E. albodentata Moore (Vol. II, p. 137) is rather similar to albopuuktata Hmps., distributed in the North 
West Himalaya and occurs also in Burma. 
bipunctapex. E. bipunctapex Hmps. (Vol. II, t. 21 h) is beside Cashmir also reported from the Naga Hills, the Nilgiris, 
from Burma and China. 
atomaria. E. atomaria Wkr. (Vol. II, t. 21 h) from Cashmir, India to Ceylon, was considered to be synonymous 
apicalis. with apicalis Wkr. in Vol. II (p. 138). apicalis, however, differs by its yellow costa of the forewing and is therefore 
to be considered as a form of it; Bombay, Ceylon. 
digramma. E. digramma Guer. (Vol. II, t. 21 h) and its form unimacula Moore occur also in South China, in many 
parts of India, and in Java. As to further particulars vid. Vol. II, p. 138. 
labecula. E. labecula Wilem. rf: forewing buff, in the middle feebly speckled ferruginous; antemedian band 
represented by some brownish scales before the posterior margin, the postmedian band is narrow, dark brown, 
indented, in the posterior half of the wing the most distinct and inside margined with whitish. Hindwings 
lighter. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Formosa, in May. 
karapina. E. karapina Strand (47 e). $: forewing creamy-yellowish or dirty whitish with traces of two creamy- 
yellow transverse bands extending subparallel to the margin and being below 1% mm distant from each other 
and 1 mm broad; in the dorsal area scanty creamy scales. The whole hindwing, fringes and the under surface 
of the forewing are uni-coloured dull white. Head and thorax whitish, above somewhat yellowish. Abdomen 
with black hairing and black anal wool. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. Karapin in Japan; in August. (Type in 
the German Entomolog. Museum at Berlin-Dahlem). 
pierofera. E. pterofera Strand (47 e). both wings bright ochreous-yellow, hindwings towards the base only 
slightly lighter. Forewing with a brownish, submedian transverse band slightly convex towards the base, of 
1 mm width, not quite reaching the costal margin nor the posterior margin, on both sides bordered by a narrower, 
indistinctly whitish band. Under surface of both wings like the upper surface of the hindwing, only in the costal 
area of the forewing faintly hued brownish. The body like the corresponding wings. Legs ochreous-yellow, palpi 
outside faintly hued brownish. Expanse of wings: 16% mm. Anping and Kankau (Koshun) in Formosa; in 
May. (Type in the German Entomolog. Museum at Berlin-Dahlem). 
alikangiae. E, alikangiae Strand (47 d). $: forewing ochreous orange-yellowish with a small, indistinct, orange 
discocellular spot and in the middle and basal half with traces of lighter transverse bands or lines (which may 
be ,,artificial”!). Hindwing above lighter ochreous than the forewing; beneath both wings have a colouring 
about midway between the colourings on both wings above. Body coloured like the corresponding wings; anal 
brush brownish-yellow. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Alikang, Formosa; in November. (Type in the German 
Entomolog. Museum at Berlin-Dahlem). 
*) Cramer (Pap. Exot. IV, t. 307 f. g) figured a Phcdaena Bombyx flavata mentioned by Walker (List Het. 
Br. Mus. VII, p. 1730) as ..Euproctis ?“ and originating from Samarang (Java). In fact the figure, representing an almost uni¬ 
coloured ochreous-orange insect, leads us to presume that it is an Euproctis, and specimens of this genus lying before me from 
Macassar and Amboina have been determined to be Euproctis flavata Cr. Wkr. by modern authors. But as Cramer states 
that the species is said to be provided with a proboscis, it is presumably no Lymantriid at all, although the proboscis 
is said to be very short, for which reason I should not like to enumerate it here. Semper mentions ,, Euproctis flavata Cr.'' 
from the Philippines, as a synonym E. incomta Snell. 1877, flying in May, October and December, the length of wings to be: 
cj 16, $ 13 to 16 mm.
