402 CHILENA; MALACOSOMA; ALOMPRA; KOSALA. By Dr. K. Grunberg. 
14. Genus: Cliilena Wkr. 
As to the diagnose of the genus, comp. Vol. II, p. 163. The two Indian species deviate little from the 
3 palearctic ones, occurring in the Eastern Mediterranean district and in Anterior Asia, they are likewise small, 
densely haired, grey or pale brown species with round wings, with a white discal spot and brown oblique stripes 
in the forewing. The genus also occurs in the Ethiopian region. 
Ch. similis Wkr. (32 a). Pale light brown, almost whitish, the wings strewn with dark brown scales. 
Forewing with an oblong, white discal spot from the posterior end of which a dark brown line extends towards 
the base of the proximal margin; 2 more dark brown oblique lines extend from the apex parallel to the border 
as far as the proximal margin. Hindwing uni-coloured. Nepal, Pendjab. 
Ch. strigula Wkr. is somewhat larger, otherwise as similis, but abdomen and hindwing purely white. — 
Larva yellow, with black transverse stripes; black lateral hair-tufts on all the segments, a longer dorsal tuft 
on the 2nd, 3rd and 11th segments; dorsal hairing short, yellow and black. On Acacia-like thorn-bushes. Cocoon 
with an intense silky lustre, with its ends firmly spun onto twigs, on the end being turned downward with an 
opening for flying out. Pupa dark brown, squat, cylindrical, with a flatly rounded, unarmed anal end. From 
the Himalaya (Nepal) through India to Ceylon. 
15. Genus: JfAftlilCOSOIllft Hbn. (Clisiocampa Curt.). 
Of this genus being at home and common in the whole palearctic region, the typical representative 
of which is the well-known Lasiocampid M. neustria L., only two species are known from the Indian district, 
and usually go by the name of Clisiocampa. As to the diagnose of the genus see Vol. II, p. 150. 
M. indica Wkr. (32 a). Body pale reddish-brown, forewing yellowish-grey, a large spot in the middle 
of the costal margin and the marginal part reddish-brown; a prediscal and a postdiscal narrow brown oblique 
band. Hindwing uni-coloured reddish-brown. North India. 
M. vulpes Hmps. Uni-coloured bright dark red. Hindwing in the $ with 3 secondary veins. India, 
Chithral. 
16. Genus: Alompra Mr. 
Antennae of $ and $ combed, and flawed before the middle. Palpi short, porrect, densely scaled, with 
a short, stump-shaped terminal joint. Forewing long, apex rounded, margin very oblique, passing over into 
the proximal margin in a flat bow. Hindwing long, its apex projecting beyond the anal angle of the forewing, 
the basal costal part convex. In the forewing 6, 7 and 8 forked, the footstalk of 9 and 10 longer than the free 
ends. In the hindwing vein 3 with the short footstalk of 4 and 5 from the posterior cell-end, 7 behind the base 
for a short distance fused with 8; 1 long, strong secondary vein and another short, feeble one. Middle 
and posterior tibiae with very short terminal spurs. Only one North Indian species. 
A. ferruginea Mr. (35 d). Body and hindwing bright brownish-red, forewing darker, more grey, with 
a brownish-red marking, a large basal spot, a spot on both sides of the discal vein and an indistinct submarginal 
band; besides with a black basal spot and a subbasal arcuate row of black spots. Under surface uni-coloured 
brownish-red. North India: Sikkim. (The figure denoted as ferruginea U on t. 35 c does not represent this 
species, but the $ of Entometa fervens). 
17. Genus: Kosala Mr. 
Medium-sized species with a densely haired body and broad wings. Antennae in the with long, in 
the $ with short combs. Palpi short, the apex hidden in the dense scaling. Forewing with an almost rectilinear 
costal margin and a steep, bent margin. Hindwing broad and uniformly rounded or with a projecting apex, 
costal margin convex or rectilinear. In the forewing vein 6 with the short footstalk of 7 and 8 from the anterior 
cell-end; the footstalk of 9 and 10 shorter than the free ends. Cell in both wings very short. In the hindwing 
vein 7 close at the base for a short distance fused with 8. Middle and posterior tibiae with short terminal spurs. 
North India and Burma. 4 species known.
