In the two other species the distal margin is more notched. 
N. niveiceps Wkr. (79 f). Tuft whitish. Thorax and forewing pale greyish-brown. Cross-vein feebly niveiceps. 
darkened, exterior line feeble, dark. Hindwing pale yellow. £ 90 mm. North-Western Himalaya. — occidentals occidental's. 
Rothsch.. from the same district, is still more indistinctly marked. 
N. gigantea Drc. ( = magnifica Rothsch.) form# a transition to the genus Gangarides. Antennae of qiganiea. 
$ pectinated as in the + Body orange red, at the end violettish-brown. Forewing at the base orange, gra¬ 
dually brick-red and then violettish-brown at the distal margin, with numerous undulate lines. Hindwing 
orange, margin brownish. $ 105 mm. New Guinea. 
7. Genus: 81iacliilioka Mats. 
Sh. formosana Mats. It can only be said that the wing-contours correspond to the genus Nadata formosana. 
Wkr. As niveiceps Wkr. is mentioned in the description, formosana is presumably different. 
About Eushachia auripennis Mats, and Ceira ( Pydna) horishana Mats, nothing can be said, because 
the figures are too indistinct. x411 the 3 species have been described in Japanese. 
8. Genus: Cnangarides Mr. 
The thickly haired palpi project beyond the frons. Antennae in both sexes pectinated almost to the tips. 
Forewing with a pointed apex, distal margin feebly notched. Vein 7 a little below the apex of the accessory 
cell, 10 + 8 + 9 or 10 and 8 + 9 from the apex in the typical species. Type: roseus Wkr. 
G. roseus Wkr. ( = vittipalpus Wkr.) (Vol. II, pi. 29 c) has already been dealt with in Vol. II, p. 311. roseus. 
Distributed in India and as far as Sumatra. 
G. dharma Mr. Without an accessory cell in the forewing. It is probably a distinct species, since the dharma. 
interior line on the forewing is at the costal margin much nearer to the subbasal line than to the exterior line. 
Moreover, the bend of the single (in roseus 2 or 3 fold) exterior line is at the base of vein 4, thus lower down. 
The apical line is sharply bent at vein 7, instead of being bent at vein 6. Forewing with a white, not black, 
central dot. Ground-colour greyish-yellow, hindwing brownish-red and greyish-yellow. 70—75 mm. North 
India. - puerariae Mell (80 a) shows the hindwing uniformly pinkish, and at the inner margin of the forewing, puerariae. 
at the exterior line, a white spot similar to that of roseus. Kwangtung. — grandis Mell is a very large ochreous 
specimen. On the hindwing with submarginal dark clouds. Darjeeling. 
G. vardena Sivh. (79 c). Body and forewing pinkish brown. Interior line double, very indistinct, central vardena. 
dot distinctly black, the threefold exterior line more distinct. Apical line straight or slightly undulating. 
Hindwing pink. — punctata Mell only differs in a black spot between the apical line and undulate line above 
vein 6. 65—80 mm. Madras, Borneo, Sumatra. 
9. Genus: IMusiogramma Hmps. 
Palpi thick, erect. Antennae of strongly pectinated. Forewing slightly cut out below the apex. Vein 5 
very far in front, 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 stalked, 10 and 11 free in the typical species. Hindwing without vein 5, 8 
connected with the centre of the cell by a bar. Type: aurosigna Hmps. 
PI. aurosigna Hmps. Thorax and forewing deep chocolate. At the base a golden double spot, on the aurosigna. 
cross-vein a dot and proximad to it a spot similar to a horizontal interrogation mark. The space behind it from 
the costal margin to the anal angle somewhat lighter with a curved undulate exterior line and traces of a sub¬ 
marginal line. Hindwing paler. £ 38 mm. Tenasserim. 
PI. transsecta sp. n. (79 b). Extremely similar to aurosigna. Palpi somewhat shorter. Forewing with an iranssecia. 
accessory cell, vein 6 from its centre, 7 + 10 + 8 + 9 from its apex. The metal spots are yellowish-white. The 
interrogation mark is divided into an oblique triangular spot and an oblique streak beside it. Exterior line 
straight, vertical on % inner margin. $ 36 mm. Omei-shan (China). Type in the British Museum. 
10. Genus: Omcstfci B.-BaJc. 
Palpi erect. Antennae pectinated as far as % of their length. Patagia expanded, thorax behind with a 
tuft. Abdomen at the base with one median tuft and two lateral tufts each. Neuration in forewing: veins 3 
and 4 separated, 5 from the centre of the cross-vein, 6 from the accessory cell, 7, 8 + 9, and 10 from its apex, 
11 near the accessory cell. In the hindwing vein 5 above the centre of the cross-vein, 6 and 7 not stalked. 
Forewing with an almost straight costal margin, curved before the pointed apex; distal margin excurved in the 
centre, the same being the case on the hind wing near vein 3. 
0. bella B.-Bak. Thorax nut-brown, abdomen paler. Central tuft dark red, lateral tuft creamy white, bella. 
Forewing pale reddish-brown with a silvery streak from vein 2 towards the base, and obliquely prolonged to 
the costal margin, somewhat lighter than the ground-colour. Exterior line pale, interrupted at vein 3 and still 
more below vein 2. A submarginal pale line, interrupted at each vein, distally margined with dark. From the
