below it less so; in amplificata there is a strong dent also at vein 5. The interior-edge of the apical spot is 
more arched. Interior line in the submedian fold intensely black. $ 90 -95 mm. Borneo. Type in the Berlin 
Museum. 
Ph. peruda Drc. (81 c). Nearly the whole forewing is greyish-white. The faded apical spot is very broad, 
its interior black border-line distinct as far as the inner margin. Before the margin black dots. 65—70 mm. 
Mindanao, Guadalcanar, Toeal Kei. 
Ph. elongata Rothsch. Wings elongated. Forewing greyish-brown, hued with pink, at the base white. 
Interior line blackish-brown, distinct; behind it 7 indistinct grey lines. The reddish-yellow apical area is narrow, 
inside edged with a double red-brown line. At veins 3 and 4 black streaks. Hindwing bronze-brown. 65—70 mm. 
Assam. 
Ph. yunnanensis Mell (81 c). Head and mesothorax yellow wood-colour, patagia grey, abdomen dark 
brown, with light rings. Forewing at the costal margin red-brown, otherwise greyish-brown. Interior line 
blackish, almost straight, exterior line notched, before it traces of some dark undulate lines. Subapical spot 
inside bordered by a white double line, slightly curved, outside from the apex by a distinct white line, both 
joined at vein 4. In the spot 4 dark brown diffuse patches, outside split. Veins 2 and 3 blackish. At the 
margin a black dentate line. $ 58 mm. Yunnan, type in the Collection Mell. I + “Chinese-Tibetan frontier”, 
in the Coll. Oberthur. 
Ph. flavescens Brem. (Vol. II., p. 47 c). This species having been described in Vol. II, p. 312 and figured 
on pi. 47 c occurs also in South China (Kwangtung) and Formosa. 
II. Antennae of $ pectinated almost as far as % , i n t h e $ shorter pectinated. 
Ph. divaricata ( Sn. i. 1.) (81 e). In the forewing veins 6 -j- 10 -(- 7 + 8 + 9 stalked. Forewing greyish- 
brown, from the median vein to the costal margin greyish-white. The black interior, median and exterior lines 
obliquely distally, the interior line indistinct. Reniform macula represented by a white streak at the cross¬ 
vein. Behind the exterior line at the apex broadly red-brown, then narrower. Behind it luniformly white. 
Hindwing red-brown. In the $ the forewing is greyish-white also at the inner-margin, the apical luna more 
faded. 42—52 mm. Khasia Hills, Java, Sumatra. 
Ph. diversa Hmps. (81 f) may belong to this place. Forewing dark brown and grey. The interior black 
line is oblique, the median line is vertical, the exterior line begins below the costal margin, which is whitish 
there, and incurved below the cell. The black dentate submarginal line is incurved between veins 6 and 4, 
behind it greyish-brown. Marginal line black, undulate. Hindwing dark red-brown. $ whitish as far as the 
exterior line, excepting the basal area. 50- 70 mm. Bombay, Kanara, Karwar. 
Ph. flavimacula Wilem. According to the very inaccurate description the forewing is grey. Ring- 
macula and reniform macula represented by white spots, below the former a round black spot. $ 40 mm. 
Formosa. 
Kirby mentions a Phalera australasiae Don. from Australia. In the revision of this group by Turner. 
it is not stated and therefore probably to be cancelled. 
20. Genus: Epiplialera gen. nov. 
Antennae of <$ pectinated as far as - ; >. Palpi short. In the forewing vein 5 proceeds from the centre of 
the cross-vein, 6 from the lowest end of the accessory cell, 7 and 10 + 8 + 9 from its apex. Hindwing relatively 
large, veins 6 + 7 on a moderately long stalk. The scheme of markings of the typical species is somewhat like 
that of Microphalera atrovittata (Vol. II, pi. 45 f) from Japan. - Type: ochropis Hmps. 
E. ochropis Hmps. Forewing pale ochreous brown and dusted with dark red-brown. An intense blackish 
band below the cell from the base to the interior line which is indistinct, double, below the cell inwards. Behind 
it in the lower cell-end a black streak. Reniform macula represented by a white ring, horizontally interrupted. 
Exterior line black, notched, outside white. An intense black streak above vein 3, short ones above 6 and 7. 
Submarginal line white, notched, interrupted, 50 mm. Ceylon. A B from Sumatra, Barisan-Range, 800 m, 
which I consider to belong to this species, has not such intensely reddish forewings as on Hampson’s figure, 
the white ring is not interrupted, the black streak behind it is stronger. 
E. iraiotata Hmps. (Swh .). Thorax and forewing blackish-brown, hued with grey. Costal margin paler, 
hued with violet, towards the apex narrower light. Abdomen and hindwing greyish-brown. $ 45 mm. 
Khasia Hills. 
21. Genus: Ant ij5>iBSil4 k i’a gen.nov. 
Palpi porrect, thick, somewhat longer than in Phalera. Antennae of as far as 2 3 pinnate. Costal 
margin of forewing slightly curved, vein 5 from the centre of the cross-vein, 6 almost from the apex of the 
accessory cell, 10 + 7 + 8 + 9 from its apex.
