612 CERASANA; BARADESA; SORAMA; NEOLA; RACHIA. By M. Gaede. 
13. Genus : Cerasana WTcr. (Catarctia Holl. *)). 
Palpi short, densely haired. Proboscis stunted. Forewing excurved between veins 3 and 4, the latter 
veins rise from the same place, 5 a little above the centre of the cross-vein, 6 from the upper cell-angle, 7 — 10 
+ 8-1-9 stalked. In the hindwing vein 5 also far in front, 6 + 7 on a long stalk, 8 close at the cell. Abdomen 
of $ with an anal tuft. The Australian genera in which the $ has also anal wool, but is separated by 2 pairs 
of spurs on the hind tibiae, have already been dealt with in the Lymantriidae. 
C. anceps Wkr. (= lutea Pagen.st.) (79 c). Forewing tan-coloured, basal area lined with red-brown, 
mostly with a very indistinct marking, often only a dark-edged light exterior line is distinct, behind it light 
red-brown spots. Black marginal spots not always present, just like* the black spots oh the orange abdomen. 
Hindwing red-brown with light bands. $ 48—55, $ 60- 70 mm. Palawan, Borneo. Pydna basipuncta 
Sempr., from the Philippines, is probably the same species. 
14. Genus: fSarariesa Mr. 
Palpi erect, projecting beyond the frons, densely haired. Antennae of anc l $ finely pectinated. 
Forewing elongated, apex sharp, distal margin scarcely undulated. Vein 6 behind the centre of the accessory 
cell, 7 and 10 + 8 + 9 from its apex. Type: Hthosioides Moore. 
B. Hthosioides Mr. (80 a). Forewing dark brown, mostly with lighter brown radial stripes. An interior 
and exterior line is mostly only marked by double rows of black dots. A similar row before the margin. Hind wing 
orange with a broad dark margin, inside notched. The 3 last abdominal segments are black. 90—100 mm. 
North India. 
B. omissa Rothsch. (80 a) is mostly somewhat smaller. Fore wing more faded, but a dark reniform 
macula is distinct. On the hindwing the marginal band is narrower, inside not notched. On the abdomen only 
the two last segments are dark. 70—80 mm. Assam, Malacca. 
15. Genus : Kora inn Wkr. 
Palpi short and thick. Thorax with a small tuft in the middle and at the end. Neuration as in the 
following genus, but in the hindwing vein 8 is connected with the cell by a bar before the centre of the cell. 
S. bicolor Wkr. (80 c). Forewing dark red-brown. A feeble light dentate line from y 3 costal margin 
to % inner margin, often indistinct. Exterior line from + 3 costal margin excurved and to +> inner margin, 
at the beginning and end more distinct, strongly notched. Submarginal line distinct, feebly angled, inside 
with a dark shadow. Hindwing light reddish-brown. 52—70 mm. New South Wales, Tasmania. 
16. Genus: J^eola Wkr. 
\ 
Antennae of d strongly pectinated almost to the tips, in the $ plain. Palpi short. Thorax in front 
with a tuft. Forewing elongated, vein 6 from the upper cell-angle or from the accessory cell, 7 and 8 + 9 from 
its apex, 10 from its anterior edge. Type: semiaurata Wkr. 
N. semiaurata Wkr. (80 b). Forewing almost black. At the cell-end 2 horizontal white dots on the 
black radial streak, below it a short black patch from the. base. From vein 6 to 4 / 5 inner margin a parted, 
distinct, white line, behind it the margin is grey. At the centre of the costal margin and often also at the centre 
of the inner margin somewhat grey. Hindwing orange, margin brown. 55—70 mm. New South Wales, Tasmania. 
N. capucina Fldr. (80 b). Forewing dark red-brown, at the costal margin paler or greyer, like the median 
vein. An exterior notched line is sometimes discernible. A notched border-line from the apex obliquely to vein 2, 
also at the inner margin a notched line, the space behind it like the costal margin and with black streaks. 
Hindwing reddish-brown. 60—70 mm. New South Wales. 
17. Genus: Kaeliia Mr. 
Antennae of G almost to the,tips very long-combed. Thorax broad. Forewing elongated, distal margin 
somewhat undulated. Veins 6 + 10 + 7 + 8 + 9 stalked. In the hindwing veins 6 + 7 on a very long stalk. 
Type: plumosa Mr. 
I. P a 1 p i short. Antennae long-combe d. 
R. plumosa Mr. Forewing dark red-brown, at the inner margin lighter, with indistinct dark radial 
streaks. Before the light undulate line dark spots. Hindwing lighter brown, with traces of an exterior line. 
A 75 mm. Darjeeling. 
*) In the African Notodontidae the name Catarctia is synonymous and therefore to be cancelled. It was of course not 
to be expected that a name given to Asiatic Arctiidae has the priority.
