ANTHEUA; AOSHACHIA; PSEUDOFENTONIA. By M. Gaede. 
41. Genus: Aiitliemi Wkr. 
Separated from Dinara only by the somewhat shorter ciliated pectinations of the S' antennae. Wings 
somewhat broader. The scheme of markings is quite different. Type: varia Wkr. from Natal. — Of. Vol. XIV, 
p. 432. 
servula. A. servula Dry. (= discalis Wkr., exanthemata Mr.) (82 g). Forewing orange, dusted with rusty brown, 
and below the cell-end with a spot. Hindwing white, outside brownish, in the $ darker. 42—46 mm. India, 
Ceylon, Java. Larva brown with a yellow lateral line and double sublateral and subdorsal red spots. 
42. Genus : loKiuicliisi Mats. 
In the contours of the wings somewhat like Antheua Wkr. Palpi erect, the 2nd joint long-haired. 
Antennae of $ pectinated almost to the tips, in the $ finely ciliated. Neuration of forewing: vein 6 from below 
the cell-angle, 7 -f- 8 -f- 9 stalked, 11 rather strongly anastomosing with 12. In the hindwing vein 5 is absent, 
7 arises before the cell-angle, 8 behind the centre of the cell nearing 7. Hind tibiae with 2 pairs of spurs. Owing 
to the neuration being uncommon in Notodontidae it may be a Geometrida. 
virescens. A. virescens Mats. Forewing greenish-yellow with a silky gloss, veins olive green, costal margin white. 
Hindwing white, iridescent, the margin narrowly greenish, fringe white. 48—55 mm. Formosa. 
43. Genus: l*scu<lofciaioiiia Strd. 
Palpi short. Fore wing somewhat elongated, vein 5 far beyond the centre of the cross-vein, 6 -\- 10 
+ 7 + 8 -j- 9 stalked. In the hindwing vein 5 also far in front, 6 -j- 7 on a short stalk. Type: argentifera Mr. 
I. Antennae of $ strongly pectinated as far as % of their length. 
argentifera. Ps. argentifera Mr. (79 e). Grey, with 2 dark brown double notched lines near the base, a double 
exterior lunular line, in front filled with a darker colour, before the margin a strongly arched lunular line. 
Hind wing brown, at the inner margin orange. 50—58 mm. Sikkim. 
II. Antennae of shorter combed, the pectinations ciliated, in the $ still 
shorter c o m b e d. 
brunnea. Ps. brunnea Mr. (82 g). Forewing dark red-brown, at the base lighter. Interior line in front dark as far 
as the apex below the cell, then light onward. Cross-vein with a dark streak. Behind it at the exterior line a 
double streak; exterior line double with an angle at vein 3. From the apex to the exterior line a light notched 
basalis. line. — basalis Mr. may be a distinct species. Interior line along the inner margin much more obliquely outward, 
whereby the greyish-yellow median area grows narrower. The light apical line extends farther inward, whereby 
it encloses a broader greyish-white marginal area. Below vein 3 another light spot. 48—50 mm. Sikkim. 
singapura. Ps. singapura sp. n. (82 h). Forewing rather uniformly grey. The indistinct subbasal line and double 
interior line are very oblique. The double exterior line projects distally at vein 3, outside narrowly edged with 
pale red-brown. Before it a strongly notched indistinct line meeting the interior line at the inner margin. At 
the cross-vein a black dot. The black submarginal line from the apex to vein 4 straight. Hindwing red-brown. 
Thorax and abdomen grey mixed with brown. $ 52 mm. Singapore. Type in the British Museum. As this 
specimen is a $ and without antennae, the position in this group is uncertain. 
sordida. Ps. sordida Wilem. In the typical form in Japan. — formosana Wilem. Forewing grey, at the base 
formosana. c | ar p er Interior line oblique, uniformly undulated from % costal margin to % inner margin. Exterior line 
inside light, outside dark, dentate, normally bent. Median area inside whitish, outside brownish. Before the 
margin a dark lunular line. Hindwing dark brown. 45—50 mm. Formosa. 
obliqui- Ps. obliquiplaga Mr. (82 h). Thorax blackish. Forewing at the base and in the median area reddish- 
piaga. p rown Near the base a dark grey, black-edged band. Exterior line double, strongly notched, projecting at 
veins 3 and 4, outside broadly edged with grey. Marginal area brown, with a dark lunular line. Hindwing light 
grisescens. reddish-brown, at the inner margin flesh-coloured. 55 mm. Sikkim, Assam, Sumatra. grisescens /. nov. 
Thorax and basal band of forewing blackish. The rest of the wing grey. Of the exterior line only the anterior 
wilemani. portion as far as vein 4 is preserved, distally to it not darker. Kwangtung. — (Disparia) wilemani Mats., from 
Formosa, may belong to this place, at least it is very similar to obliquiplaga. 
nigrofas- Ps. nigrofasciata Wilem. Fore wing grey, dusted with dark. Interior line dark brown, very oblique; 
ciaia " before it, slightly separated, a broad black band. Exterior line double, undulated, parallel to the distal margin, 
and a black lunular line at the margin. $ 50 mm. Formosa. 
apicalis. p§. apicalis Mr. (82 h). Quite different. Forewing brown, with dark spots instead <?f the interior and 
exterior lines. At the margin, vertical on vein 2, a thick white line, behind it a finer line. Hindwing red-brown. 
^ 42 mm. Sikkim.
