CILIX; HEMIPHRUDA. By W. Warren.

spots; fringes blackish. Hindwing dull whitish with lines being only visible at the inner margin and exhibiting 
a small blackish cloud between them. Under surface light olive green with a dark grey outer line. Face brown ; 
thorax like forewing; dorsum of abdomen like hindwing; collar whitish. 2 9$ from the Upper Setekwa River 
in New Guinea. 
C. chionopepla sp. nov. Forewing creamy white with a fine oblique distal line being incurved, but 
indistinct before the costal margin, close behind it a thick smoky brown line which is tinted with greenish, 
extending into the apex which it fills up; below the costal margin between the two lines a white spot. Hindwing 
with a median line; the margin smoky grey with traces of a subterminal zigzag line. I from Fakfak in Dutch 
New Guinea. Type in the British Museum. 
C. albiceris Swh. Forewing pale ochreous with traces of an inner and outer line composed of grey 
spots; the median line is excurved around the cell; the dents on the veins marked dark; in the cell a black 
dot; outer line treble, the innermost being fine and blackish, on the veins towards the base dentate, returning 
towards the costal margin; the median line is greenish grey, thick and diffuse; the outer line composed of grey 
and blackish spots, extending into the apex which it fills up; between the lines below the costa a white spot: 
an antemarginal indistinct line being above notched, beneath on the veins marked by black dots; before the 
margin a double line of grey scales. In the hindwing the treble line is median and broader, at the lower 
cell-angle on the innermost of the 3 lines a large black spot; traces of an inner line. Sumatra. 
C. superba Warr. (49 1). Forewing pale ochreous, without spots; an olive brown oblique band of 3 
lines from the inner margin beyond its centre almost to vein 7, before which the inner dark line recedes far 
to the costal margin and disappears; the outer line forms a broad, dull, red-brown costal spot with a light 
centre; subterminal line represented by a row of olive brown wedge-shaped spots on the veins; marginal area 
especially towards the apex of a deeper tint; discocellular above marked by a broken line of silvery scales and 
a spot at the lower end. In the hindwing the band is central, the small subterminal spots are more distinct, 
the area behind it distinctly olive-brown. Beneath the band is umber-brown, very thick, at the costa of the 
forewing widened and enclosing 2 light spots. Described from a single $ from the Angabunga River in Brit. 
New Guinea. 
C. fasciata Hmps. Forewing creamy white, the inner and outer lines greenish dark brown; fringes 
yellowish-brown; behind the outer line a row of black blotches on the veins. Described from a single $ from 
Fakfak in Dutch New Guinea. This species being otherwise rather dissimilar to the other species is the most 
closely allied in its shape and colouring to albiceris Swh., chionopepla Warr., and superba Warr. (49 1). 
35. Genus : Cllix breach. 
Proboscis very feeble; palpi porrect. very small; antennae of £ bipectinate with short dents, in the 
2 only serrate-dentate; hind tibiae with 2 pairs of spurs. In the forewing veins 6 and 7 from the cell-angle; 
8, 9, 10 stalked. In the hindwing 7 strongly anastomoses with 8. Type: C. glaucatus Scop. — This diagnose 
corresponds with the typical species from Europe and America. In C. depalpata Strand occurring in the Pend jab 
(North India) the palpi are not visible, the hind tibiae only exhibit 1 pair of spurs, and vein 7 of the forewing 
is bent upwards and almost anastomoses with the stalk of 8. 9 and 10. 
C. depalpata Strand differs from glaucatus (Yol. II, pi. 48 d) in the median band the base of which 
is reduced to a blackish demi-ellipse; the oval grey, somewhat ear-shaped ochreous spot above is hardly 
noticeable; silvery markings present though not coherent; the marginal line representing in glaucatus a series 
of grey lunulae is here a plain grey line. Hindwing all white, without any greyish coating. 4 specimens from 
the Pendjab. all females. Type in the collection of the British Museum. 
36. Genus: gen. nov. 
Proboscis present; frons smooth, but slightly convex; palpi upturned close at the face, delicate, with 
a short terminal joint; antennae of with one row' of long pectinations. $ with shorter pinnae which are more 
remote from each other. Hind tibiae with 4 spurs; abdomen with a white ring at the base of the 5th segment, 
as in the following Monoprista showing also the same shape of the wings. In the forewing the cell is of less 
than half the length of the wing; vein 6 from the upper angle; 7, 8 stalked, 9. 10 the same, 8 anastomoses with 
9, 10 and forms an areola; 10, 9. 8 diverge close at the costal margin; hindwing normal. Type: H. mecasa Swh. 
H. mecasa Swh. (50 cl). <^: forewing brown, lines darker, inner line double, undulating, in the 
centre of the wing angular; at the upper cell-angle a tiny black dot, at the lower angle a large spot. Outer
