PELLUCENS; ANTHELYMANTRIA. By Dr. E. Strand. 
3 from before the angle, 4 from the angle, 5 from the cell, distinctly separated from 4, 6 from below the upper 
angle, 7 from the upper angle, 8+9 + 10 forked from before the angle, distinctly separated from 7. In the 
hindwing 3 and 4 are close together at the bases, 5 nearer to 4 than to 6, (5 and 7 connate; 8 anastomoses with 
the cell near the base. -— Most easily discernible from Euproctis by vein 7 of the fore wing being distantly remote 
from 8, 9 and 10. — According to Turner, it is doubtful whether this insect is a Noctuid or Lymantriid. 
H. erythrias Meyr. (= pyrrhias Trnr.). In the $ and ^ the head, thorax, and palpi are reddish-brown, erythria 
antennae grey. Abdomen oclireous, more or less dark-hued. Legs dark, the last pair whitish-ochreous. Forewing 
dull reddish, scantily speckled darker, with a dark transverse band which is somewhat crenulate on both sides 
and defined by a red border-line, besides with a dark subterminal patch and marginal line. Fringes with reddish 
base or everywhere reddish. 10 to 20 mm. Queensland: Brisbane, Townsville in December till May; North 
Australia, Port Darwin. 
42. Genus: I*ellueeiis B.-Bak. 
Antennae as far as the tips with long double-rowed pectinations; foreleg of $ with a long hairy spine 
from the tibia! joint, which is much longer than the tibia itself. In the forewing vein 2 rises at V 3 from the 
lower angle, 4 from the lower angle, 5 a little remote from 4, 6 from the upper angle, 7 +8 +9 +10 forked. 
10 rising about midway between the cell and apex. In the hindwing 4 rises from the lower angle, 5 near to 
it, 6 and 7 from the upper angle. 
P. lactea B.-Bak. head white, antennae black, thorax and abdomen creamy. Forewing milky lucica. 
with a brown marginal band. Costal margin of forewing dark brown, the dark marginal band proximally dentate. 
Expanse of wings: 58 mm. Northern coast of Dutch New Guinea. 
43. Genus: JLiitlieiymantria Strd. gen. nov. 
No areola. In the forewing 3, 4. and 5 are very closely together, but unmistakably separated, (5 distinctly 
rising from behind the angle of the cell. 7 +8 +9 +10 are forked: 7 rising rather far from the cell, 10 less 
far away, so that 7 rises between 10 and 8 and is by far nearest to 10, 8 and 9 being short and close together 
terminating into the apex of the wing, 11 rising almost from the centre of the anterior edge of the cell and 
being separate in'its whole course. 10 running in the greatest part of its length almost midway between 9 and 10. 
In the hindwing the veins 3 to 5 are like in the forewing. 0 and 7 from the same place, i. e. the anterior angle- 
of the cell. The veins 7 and 8 of the hindwing are distinctly separated, but connected by an oblique cross-branch. 
Hind tibiae with 4 spurs. Palpi obliquely turned forward and downward, with a small, smoothly scaled and 
pointed terminal joint, scarcely projecting beyond the rather long and densely haired Irons, the preceding 
joint with obliquely raised hairing. The forelegs are covered with long woollen hair on the tibiae and femora, 
but the tarsi of all the legs are covered with appressed scales. -— Forewing narrow, hindwing broad. The distal 
margin of the forewing slightly oblique and slightly curved, the hind-margin therefore comparatively long. 
The distal margin of the hindwing is very slightly, almost unnoticeably sinuous behind the vein, the anal angle 
being consequently a little projecting. The abdomen projects beyond the anal angle only by the length of its 
anal wool. Dorsum of thorax and head with long, erect, coarse woollen hair. The veins and palpi correspond 
well with Lymantria, but the habitus, the scheme of markings etc. are quite different. -— Antennae (of $) 
long-combed, the pectinations at the tips with long bristles. — Separated from Cispia by the shorter palpi 
etc. [Snellen labelled a specimen before me as ,, Cispia sp.“]. — In the habitus very much like Anthela. The 
type is. 
A. bistigmalis Strd. sp. n. (57 e). <+ characterized on the surface of the forewing by the two small, bisiigmaUs. 
jet-black maculae edged with a ferruginous yellowish colour, the distal one of which is situate on the discocellular 
and has sometimes the shape of an X; the specimen figured is unfortunately not quite intact, for which reason 
the maculae are not so distinctly prominent as usual. Beneath both wings are like the forewing above, or the 
forewing is but slightly darker; the forewing indistinctly exhibits the two cellular spots, the hindwing shows 
the discocellular spot. The body is beneath as dark as above, with dark brown palpi, outside blackish. Antennae 
light greyish, with darker ringlets, with yellowish-brown pectinations. Expanse of wings: 35 mm. Hindwing 
sometimes with a grey marginal band. Cooktown ; Richmond River in New South Wales. —- The present specimen 
(Coll. Seitz) was labelled „Sikkim“ which is presumably wrong. Besides there are two worn Javanese specimens 
before me. undoubtely generically belonging together, among them the specimen of Snellen mentioned above; 
they apparently belong to the same species. The type is from the Richmond River.
