22. Genus: £stigeua Mr. 
The only, wide-spread species of this genus, Estigena pardalis Wkr. {= nandina Mr., abstracta Wkr., yardc/lis. 
scriptiplaga Wkr.) (35 f $) was, since it occurs in Arabia, already dealt with in the palearctic part (Yol. II, 
p. 169 and 170, t. 27 c). In its habits it reminds us of the palearctic Gastropacha- and Epicnapt era-species with 
which it is also closely allied, and varies considerably in the size and colouring which likewise varies in all shades 
between the predominant brownish-red and a light yellowish-grey. The dispersed black scaling and the black 
dentate bands may in light specimens disappear almost entirely except the submarginal band. Arabia, in the 
whole of India common from the Himalaya to Ceylon, Burma, Java, Andamans. 
23. Genus: Isostigeiia B.-Bak. 
Palpi short, antennae in the $ with very long pinnae as far as before the middle, then the branches 
suddenly grow shorter and gradually shorten as far as the tips. Forewing stretched, almost semicircular, costal 
margin rectilinear and only before the apex feebly bent; veins 6, 7 and 8 forked, the footstalk of 9 and 10 long. 
Hindwing likewise stretched, oval, veins 3, 4 and 5 from the posterior cell-end, 7 and 8 connected by a transverse 
vein, 8 from the latter with a strong curve towards the costal margin, forming a broad secondary cell 
from which several feeble secondary veins proceed. Legs at the tarsal ends with long dense hair-tufts. 
The only species known is: 
I. bicellata B.-Bak. (32 a). of a moderate medium size, body and forewing red-brown, the hair of bicellata. 
the body with light ajrices, anal hair blackish. Forewing with a blackish discal dot and a not very distinct, 
dark prediscal and postdiscal line, the latter broken at vein 6. Marginal part lighter, watered with grey, inner- 
marginal part from the cell-encl to the anal angle deep dark brownish-red. Hindwing light brownish-red with 
an indistinct darker submarginal band. British New Guinea: Dinawa. 
24. Genus: Sporostigeiia B.-Bak. 
Palpi short, porrect, projecting far beyond the frons. Antennae as in the preceding genus. Forewing 
narrow and stretched, costal margin at the distal half slightly curved, margin and proximal margin uniformly 
curved; veins 6, 7 and 8 forked, footstalk of 9 and 10 very long. Hindwing stretched, with a very convex costal 
margin. Veins 4 and 5 forked, 7 touching vein 8 close at the base, secondary cell small with 2 secondary veins. 
The only species known is: 
Sp. uniformis B.-Bak. (32 a). medium-sized species. Body brownish-grey, palpi deep dark brown, uniformis. 
Wings light greyish-brown, densely strewn with yellowish scales, forewing in the lighter, more grey marginal 
half with a row of dark submarginal spots; a dark prediscal and postdiscal line only faintly noticeable. Hind¬ 
wing with a very faint dark discal line. Under surface of forewing reddish-brown, of hindwing as above, only 
the costal margin darker without any yellow scales. British New Guinea: Dinawa. 
25. Genus: Odonestis Germ. 
This genus which otherwise belongs to the palearctic fauna and has therefore been dealt with in Vol. II. 
p. 170, penetrates the Indian region with one species: 
0. brevivenis Btlr. (Vol. II, t. 27 f) is described in Vol. II, p. 6 with its larva and cocoon; the species brcvivenis. 
is particularly as a larva common in the southern part of China (Hongkong, Swatow etc.) the fauna of which 
entirely belongs to the Indian. 
26. Genus: Oendroliinus Germ. 
The otherwise quite palearctic genus (comp. Vol. II, p. 171) penetrates the oriental region with 1 species: 
D. punctata Wkr. (Vol. II, t. 28 d) is also found in the faunistic Indian south of China and often common punctata. 
in the artificially afforested pine forests of Kaulung (opposite the Island of Hongkong) where it causes great 
havoc by its frequency. Comp. Vol. II, p. 171.
