of the inner margin obliquely outward, sometimes as far as the costal margin. A submarginal row of dots and 
before them a line. 45—48 mm. Sikkim.

37. Genus: Mamcsa Wkr. 
This genus merely differs from Pydna, in which all shapes of antennae occur, in the uniformly tufted 
antennae of the + If most of the Pydna- species were not described as Pydna, all these species would have 
to be transferred to the older genus Ramesa. Type: tosta Wkr. Cf. Vol. XIV, p. 434. 
R. tosta Wkr. Fore wing from the costal margin to vein 4 dark brown with a red-brown stripe extending tosta. 
from the apex. Posterior half ochreous-brown, the inner margin narrowly dark brown. A series of exterior and 
marginal dots. Hindwing greyish-brown. — luridivitta PLmps. (82 f) only differs in somewhat red veins in the luridivitta.

38. Genus: Xn na Wkr. 
Antennae of $ serrate. Palpi very short, whereby it is distinguished from Ramesa and Pydna. 
Z. lignosa Wkr. (82 g). Thorax reddish-brown, abdomen orange. Forewing greyish-brown, below and lignosa.

Vol. II, p. 315, and Vol. XIV, p. 434. 
D. combusta Wkr. (= lineolata Wkr.) (Vol. II, pi. 47 e). Already described in Vol. II. p. 315. In our combusta. 
district it occurs in India, South China, the Sunda Is., and the Philippines; not in Africa, as stated in Vol. II; 
it is replaced there by atrata Grunbg.

Palpi short, thick. Antennae of 3 moderately pectinated as far as % of their length. In the elongated
