from the base. 32 mm. Queensland. 
14. Genus: IKltoinbopliylla Tmr. 
Palpi short, porrect. Distal margin of forewing bent. Hindwing rhombic, with a dent at vein 3. Neu- 
ration of forewing: vein 5 from near the upper cell-angle, veins 6 + 7 stalked. In the hindwing 6 + 7 on a 
short stalk. Type: xylinopis Tmr. 
Rh. xylinopis Tmr. Pale brown, dusted with greyish-violet. Lines ochreous brown, indistinct. On the xylinopis. 
fore wing the interior line marked on +. The exterior line from below % of the costal margin to % of the 
inner margin, dentate, not excurved. Marginal area at the apex dark brown. Hindwing corresponding to 
forewing in colour and marking. 20 mm. Queensland. 
15. Genus : Dysaethria Tmr. 
Palpi delicate, porrect, antennae bipectinate, the interior row only short, the dents distally separated. 
Neuration of forewing: vein 5 near the upper cell-angle, veins 6 + 7 and 8 + 9 stalked. Hindwing at veins 
4 and 7 somewhat dentate. Type: pasteopa Tmr. 
D. pasteopa Tmr. Eorewing triangular, apex rounded, dusted with pale greyish brown. A fine interior pasleopa. 
and exterior line indicated by denser dusting, fringe pale grey. Hindwing probably of the same colour, since 
it has not been described. 20 mm. Rosewood (Queensland). 
16. Genus: Dysrliombia Warr. 
Eorewing with a sharp apex. Distal margin dentate at veins 2, 3 and 6. Hindwing elongate, with a 
tooth at vein 4. Neuration of forewing: vein 5 from the upper cell-angle, veins 6 + 7 and 10+11 stalked. In 
the hindwing veins 3 + 4 on a short stalk. Type: longipennis Warr. 
D. longipennis Warr. Forewing dark smoke-brown; lines faded, composed of black and rusty-red scales, longipennis 
The interior line angled on +, in the middle, the other in the middle only bent. Submarginal line undulate, 
indistinct. On the hindwing a rusty red exterior line from % of the costal margin, parallel to the distal margin, 
also angular at vein 4. 20 mm. Queensland. 
17. Genus: £piplenni H.-Schdff. 
Palpi porrect, antennae of mostly thickened, flattened. Neuration of forewing: veins 5 from the 
upper cell-angle, veins 6 + 7 and 8 + 9 stalked, 10 mostly from the cell. Hindwing: veins 3 and 4 from the 
lower cell-angle, 6 and 7 from the upper one. Type: acutangularia H.-Schdff. from Brazil. Of this genus about 
140 species are described from the Indo-Australian region, an unlikely great number. But as a great many 
have been described according to but one specimen, it cannot be decided whether they are all distinct species. 
Eorewing angular at the distal margin. 
E. arcuata Warr. (58 g). Eorewing at the distal margin excised from the apex to vein 6 and from 6 to 4. arcuata. 
Hindwing angular at vein 7, at 4 with a tail. <$ dark red-brown. Eorewing with a slight spot on the cross-vein. 
Exterior line red-brown, slightly angled at vein 6, more so at 4, outside edged pale Marginal spot from the 
apex to vein 4 blackish-brown. Hindwing with a red-brown band at the median vein. Exterior line red-brown, 
outside light-edged, sharply angled at vein 4, behind it towards the anal angle ochreous brown. $ paler. 
26—34 mm. Khasis. 
E. flavistriga Warr. (58 g). Pale ochreous brown. Foi’ewing with a curved brown exterior line, terminat- flavistriga. 
ing in 3 black spots above the inner margin. Two connected red-brown lunar spots at the excision below the 
apex. Hinclwing with tails at veins 4 and 6. A yellow radial band through the cell to the exterior line, with a 
black diffuse spot at the upper cell-angle. Exterior line double, brown, at vein 4 strongly angled, wdth a black 
costal spot. 30 mm. Khasis. 
E. vacuata Warr. Forewing with an angle at the apex and vein 6, hindwing angular at 4 and 7. Chalky vacuata. 
white. A brown costal spot at y 2 of the costal margin with an adjoining fine interior line. A similar one before 
% of the costal in a Kg; in with a brown line which is excurved to vein 4 and terminates in a vertical streak above 
the centre of the inner margin. A cellular streak, a streak before the apex, and the distal margin above the 
middle brown. Apex spotted black. Hindwing with a brown spot at the middle of the base, in the centre of 
the submedian fold and at the apex. 15—20 mm Salomons Is. 
E. columbaris Btlr. (58 g) has already been figured in Vol II, pi 48 i. Brown with 2 indistinct stripes columbaris 
on the forewing and hinclwing. 27 mm. North India. In Cashmir on palaearctic soil.
