DANIMA; DAMATA; ZARANGA; MELAGONA; NEODRYMONIA; CH ADI SR A. By M. Gaede. 635 
The larva is pale green, on the dorsum whitish. The 3rd segment with a slight protuberance and with an angle 
of the white subdorsal line at that place. Stigmata black. On willows. 
59. Genus: Diininiii Wkr. 
Palpi short and thick. Half of the d antenna strongly pectinate, in the $ plain. Thorax behind with 
a feeble tuft. Body with lateral tufts. Wings of d somewhat more elongate than in the $. 
D. banksiae Lew. (84 b). Thorax blackish, patagia white. Forewing greyish-brown, dusted spot-like banhsiae. 
with greenish-white scales. At the costal margin a dark spot and 2 bands bent to the apex, from the inner 
margin 3 corresponding bands. Hindwing of d white, of $ dark brown. 60—75 mm. Queensland. — The larva 
with a Sphingid horn is reported on being disturbed to bend its anterior body upside down and protruding, 
between the 1st and 2nd segments beneath, an X-shaped fork, the red flesh-colour of which strongly contrasts 
with the black under surface. 
60. Genus: Damata Wkr. 
Palpi short. Antennae of d very long pectinated, the tips suddenly plain,-in the $ much shorter combed. 
Forewing rather narrow. Vein 5 very far in front, 7 + 8 + 9 from the apex of the accessory cell, 6 and 10 a 
little back. Type: longipennis Wkr. — C-f. Vol. II, p. 285. 
D. longipennis Wkr. (84 e). Forewing white, densely dusted with black. At the costal and inner margins longipennis. 
2 large triangular black spots near the base and 2 smaller ones connected by the exterior line. Marginal spots 
black. Hindwing white, in the d narrowly ,in the $ broadly edged with dark. There are also specimens with a 
slightly pink-hued forewing, united basal spots and a double exterior line. 68—80 mm. Sikkim. 
D. microsticta Hmps. (= baibarana Mts.) (84 e). Similar to longipennis. Forewing also dusted dark, microsticda. 
The triangular spots are smaller, blacker, the spot at the anal angle is absent. An interior and exterior row 
of black dots is present. d 52 mm. Naga Hills, 2000 m, Kambodja, Sumatra, 2400 m. 
61. Genus: Zarauga Mr. 
Palpi short. Antennae of d strongly pectinated almost to the tips. Fore wing with an irregular distal 
margin. Vein 6 from the cell-angle, 7 + 10 + 8 +^9 stalked. 
Z. pannosa Mr. Fore wing dark brown. A large pale red-brown spot at the centre of the inner margin pannosa. 
and one in the apical area. Interior line indistinct, notched. Exterior line notched, light, at the costal margin 
and inner margin white. Hindwing dark brown. d 70 mm. Simla. 
62. Genus: Melagona gen. nov. 
Palpi short, antennae of $ plain. Fore wing somewhat more elongate than in Wilemannus Mats. 
(Ochrostigma Him. Vol. II, p. 304) without a scaled dent. Vein 6 from the centre of the long accessory cell, 
10 + 7 + 8 + 9 from its apex. 
Mel. dentatus sp. n. (84 c). Very similar to Wil. bidentatus (= Ochrostigma ussuriensis Pung., Vol. II, dentatus. 
pi. 49 b). Ground-colour more reddish. Interior line double, forming a bow below the cell. Above it a dark 
patch from the costal margin almost to the anal angle, where it ends pointed. At the cross-vein a white 
streak. The exterior line and the spot at the costal margin as in Ochrost. melagona (Vol. II, p. 305). Behind it 
the margin is somewhat darker. Hindwing whitish. £ 42 mm. North Celebes. Type in the British Museum. 
63. Genus: ^eodrymonia Mats. 
The generic characters of Drymonia have been dealt with in Vol. II, p. 295. Neodrymonia differs in the 
feebly tufted antennae of the d- 
N. delia Leech. This species described from Japan has been figured in Vol. II, pi. 45 d. Its range delia. 
extends from West China to Waigeu. Deviations have not been ascertained. According to the genitals, the 
species will probably split into several subspecies, considering its vast range. 
64. Geuns: Oisidisi’a Wkr. 
Palpi of d erect, in the $ shorter. Antennae of d typically tufted, in the $ feebly ciliated. On the 
abdomen a hair-tuft. Forewing broad. Vein 6 from below the centre of the long accessory cell, 7 + 8 + 9 from 
its apex, 10 a little behind. In the hindwing veins 6 + 7 on a very short stalk. Type: bipars Wkr.
