second and third of which are broken off near the costal margin, a black discal dot between the first and se¬ 
cond line, and a blackish subcostal line as well as an irregular whitish patch near the end of the costal margin. 
Hindwing with two lines which are the most distinct beneath, where we also notice a black discal dot, Length 
of body 19 mm, expanse of wings 48 to 56 mm. The $ is lighter red-brown, the antennae are white with dark 
pectinations. Expanse of wings: 66 mm. Hindostan; Sikkim; Assam. 
A. trilochoides Moore is of a somewhat brighter colouring, on the fore wing more powdered with grey, trilochoiden. 
India. 
A. albilunata limps. In the fore wing the distal margin is very much indented behind the apex, then albilunata. 
at vein 4 angularly projecting, then notched; hindwing similar, but not so distinctly notched, the posterior 
margin not indented. Dark red-brown, mixed with grey; in the forewing a darker red-brown, slightly undulate 
band proximally bordered with grey obliquely extends from the costal margin to the submedian fold, the disco- 
cellular spot is indistinct and parted by a lighter line, an undulatory brown median line and a similar grey 
postmedian line, behind the veins 6 and 7 small, oblique, white, subapical lunar streaks. Hindwing red-brown 
with a greyish hue, a brown discocellular spot, chocolate-brown anal-marginal spots and between them light- 
greyish ones. Fore wing beneath chocolate-brown, costa grey as far as the postmedian line, and with a brown 
spot beyond the centre; hindwing grey with a brown discal spot, two undulate brown postmedian lines and 
an effaced red-brown spot at the anal angle. — The larva hangs its head and arches its shoulder, when it 
is at rest; it is gregarious, long, cylindrical, the 3rd and 5th rings with two horns, the anal ring with but 
one horn, 16 feet, hairy, dull black, speckled with greyish, dorsal line light yellow, subdorsal and lateral lines 
orange, ventral side with two yellow lines, between the front legs broad yellow spots, head black, the horns 
whitish at the apex and orange at the base, otherwise dark. Food-plant: Cudranus javanicus. Cocoon silky, 
in front obtuse, behind tapering, on the dorsum with an excavated, boat-shaped appendage. Expanse of wings: 
d 1 40, $ 46 mm. Assam (Khasis). 
A. apodecta Swh. rf ?• Ochreous fawn-coloured, d 1 darker than the $ and with an apically whitish costa, apodecta. 
Forewing with three indistinct grey bands or lines, the two proximal ones of which are indented; the distal one 
is deeply angled behind the costal margin. Hindwing with two median lines and towards the costa lighter, 
in the dorsal area with dark brown hair. Beneath lighter, with lines as above. The forewing does not protrude 
so much as in bipunctata, and the hindwing is not emarginated in the dorsal area as in the latter. The an¬ 
tennae are dark brown above, white on the sides, the pectinations are brown. Expanse of wings: 59 mm. 
Padang, West Sumatra. 
8. Genus: Mauisa Mr. 
Body long and thin, anal brush spread asunder. Antennae short, with broad double pectinations. Legs 
short, hairy. Forewing triangular, costal margin rather uniformly convex. Distal margin very oblique and 
midway angular, posterior margin short; costal and subcostal veins with 5 branches, the first and second branch 
being parallel, the third thrice bifurcating, the lower fork terminating below the apex of the wing, the upper 
radial rises from the upper apex of the cell; the latter is narrow, short, enclosing a discoidal vein; the lower 
radial from the centre of the discocellular vein, the median vein with three branches, the middle branch 
terminating at the angle of the distal margin, the submedian vein is straight. The anal portion of the hind¬ 
wing is extracted, for which reason the hindwing appears to be very broad, reaching to the apex of the ab¬ 
domen, distal margin slightly convex:, subcostal vein with two branches, median with three branches. Cell short. 
H. subnotata Wkr. Rust-coloured reddish, thick, hairy, abdomen with grey rings, stomatic parts subnotata. 
stunted. Antennae broadly dentate. Abdomen much more slender than the thorax, not projecting beyond 
the hindwing, the anal lateral appendages fringed. Legs short, stout. Forewing at the apex rounded off, though 
forming a small angle there, the distal margin very oblique, in the centre slightly angular, and next to it on 
both sides slightly emarginated, costal margin with 4 or 5 small dark spots, the centre of the posterior margin 
with 4 short dark transverse streaks, a narrow dark marginal band being midway slightly expanded, where it 
encloses a lighter spot; a light discocellular transverse streak. Beneath with a yellow costal-marginal spot near 
the apex. In the hindwing the posterior margin is densely fringed towards the apex. Length of body: 14 mm. 
Expanse of wings: 35 mm. Singapore. 
9. Genus: S^agaiHla Wkr. 
Body moderately stout. Proboscis absent. Palpi porrect, smooth, thin, not projecting beyond the 
head, the third joint very small. Antennae short, by far not reaching the centre of the costa of the forewing, 
very broadly pectinated. Abdomen not reaching the anal angle, anal brush very small. Legs rather short and 
thin, slightly hairy; hind tibiae without spurs. Forewing large, elongate, at the base narrow, at the end roun¬ 
ded, distal margin slightly convex, very oblique, longer than the posterior margin; areola large; the third of 
the lower veins is moderately distant from the 2nd, the 3rd upper vein bifurcates, and its posterior forked 
vein bifurcates once more.
