inexperia. C. (? ) inexperta Leech. Body dark brown, patagia greyish. Forewing greyish-brown, with a slight violet 
reflection, with a small, white discal spot and 2 blackish transverse lines on the discal area, the proximal one 
bent and dentate, the distal one broken below the costal margin and then curved; a blackish submarginal line 
indistinct; between the distal transverse line and the anal angle at the proximal margin a black spot on both 
sides bordered with white. Hindwing sooty-brown with a grey-scaled costal margin. Under surface sooty- 
brown, both wings with a darker discal band. Forewing at the apex with 2 spots of greenish lustrous scales. 
North East China: Ningpo. 
excisa. C. (? ) excisa Wil. (32 b). forewing brown with a reddish discal area, huecl and spotted with grey, 
especially at the costal part; discal spot black; in the marginal area a light, undulate transverse line; in the 
middle and before the proximal margin deeply indented, proximally accompanied by a dark brown shade; 
apical part clouded dark brown. Hindwing with the costal margin deeply excised in the middle, a dentate 
margin, above vein 6 with a deep indentation; brown, in the middle of the costal margin a black spot distally 
bordered with white; the veins behind the latter spotted white. Under surface of forewing chiefly as above, 
but lighter, with distinctly prominent veins, hindwing pale brown, spotted and clouded blackish, with a black

21. Genus; Xienodora Mr. 
Medium-sized species with broad round wings. Palpi short, densely scaled. Antennae in the with 
very short pinnae. In the forewing veins 6 and 7 on a short footstalk, the footstalk of 8 and 9 likewise short. 
In the hindwing veins 4 and 5 from the lower cell-end, 7 and 8 connected by a transverse vein; numerous 
secondary veins. 7 Indian species. 
vittata. L. vittata Wkr. (= subcostalis Wkr.) (35 f). bright red-brown, $ paler, more yellowish-brown. Fore¬ 
wing with a distinct, white longitudinal streak parallel to the costal margin and extending from the base to 
behind the base. —• Larva blackish-brown, beneath paler reddish-grey with a series of sublateral, black oblique 
stripes. Thoracal segments with light, reddish transverse stripes, 5th to 12th segments with subbasal white 
hair-tufts. On Gramineae. Cocoon reddish-grey, fusiform, with obtuse ends. Pupa red-brown. — South India 
and Ceylon. 
signata. L. signata Mr. (— fasciata Mr.). <$ body and wings bright dark red-brown. Forewing with a small, 
white, bent discal spot, a broad, indistinct, blackish postmedian band. $ darker brown with an indistinct light 
fusca. postmedian band in the hindwing. — In fusca Moore (35 f, as signata) which is placed to this species the white 
discal spot of the forewing is absent. — India. 
semihynlina. L. semihyalina Swh. (35 f). Reddish-brown, the wings somewhat darker than the body, with an exten¬ 
sive, lighter, somewhat diaphanous spot produced by the thinner scaling; in the forewing it extends as a 
broad band from the apex to the basal part of the proximal margin, in the hindwing it covers the median part 
behind the cell. $ somewhat lighter than the more greyish-brown, the spots more indistinct. Naga Hills 
(Burma). 
pallidochreu. L. pallidochrea Hmps. (46 a). Light greyish-brown, forewing with a dark brown discal spot, a pale 
reddish arcuate line extending from the distal margin close below the base to the middle of the proximal margin, 
and a distal, deeply dentated arcuate line forming on the veins a double row of black spots. Khasia Hills. 
fia. L. fia Swh. (32 g, 46 b). Body light yellowish-brown, anal tuft bright ochreous. Wings light reddish- 
brown, thinly scaled, diaphanous, whereas the costal and proximal margins of the forewing are densely scaled 
dark red-brown; a submarginal row of blackish spots indistinct. Marginal scales bright red-brown. Scaling 
of forewing a little denser. Both wings beneath more brownish-yellow with a red-brown marginal part. The 
$ is darker brown, and in the forewing it exhibits 4 grey transverse lines, the two middle ones of which enclose 
a deep dark brown band. Cashmir. — Hampson 1 places the species to Metanastria. 
crenata. L. crenata Hmps. (32 g). Dark yellowish-brown. Forewing partly lighter yellowish-white, below 
the costal margin with an indistinct whitish streak from the base to behind the upper cell-end and with a slightly 
bent, dark, postdiscal dentate line beginning below the apex and extending to the middle of the proximal margin. 
Ceylon. 
hyalomelae- L. hyalomelaena Hmps. (46 b). Body dark grey, beneath yellowish. Forevdng deep blackish-brown 
with a narrow, yellowish costal margin and a broad, whitish longitudinal band extending from the base to 
below the apex of the wing and covering the whole discal part. Hindwing light diaphanous, veins and margin 
black. Medium-sized, Madras,
