streaks between the veins. 45—50 mm. Formosa, Kwangtung. Dr. Mell had the kindness to identify the 
figured specimen. It will not be recognized from the original description. 
86. Genus: ILoplsopteryx Stepk. 
Palpi thick, short. Antennae of ciliated. Distal margin of forewing slightly notched, at the inner 
margin a scaled dent. Vein 6 from the accessory cell, 7 and 10 + 8 + 9 from its apex. In both wings veins 3 
and 4 separated. Type: camelina L. from Europe. 
I. Inner margin of forewing behind the scaled dent straight. 
L. saturata WJcr. (Vol. II, pi. 46 h). Dark red-brown with an indistinct subbasal line, a double dentate 
interior and exterior line. Reniform macula narrow, light-edged. Hindwing lighter greyish-brown, at the anal 
angle a dark spot with a light streak. 42—46 mm. Sikkim; also in Japan. 
L. afrofusa Hmps. Forewing blackish-brown, with hardly any markings, only 2 light notches at the 
costal margin forming the traces of the exterior line. On the hindwing the anal spot is grey with a light line. 
35- 40 mm. Sikkim. 
L. flavistigma Mr. (80 f). Larger and darker than saturata. Interior line more notched, at the reniform 
macula below a more intense light streak. 48 mm. Sikkim. 
L. crenulata Hmps. Distal margin of forewing deeply notched, especially below vein 4. Forewing 
unicoloured pale red-brown, with an undulating blackish-brown interior and double exterior line. Anal spot 
of hindwing indistinct. There may be also a white spot at the inner margin of the forewing behind the exterior

with a scaled dent. Vein 5 abnormal, below the centre of the cross-vein, 6 from the upper cell-angle, 7, 8 + 9 
and 10 from the long narrow accessory cell. 
Br. albonotata Wkr. (80 g). Forewing dark red-brown with a violet hue. Interior line dark, notched, 
in the middle strongly excurved. Cross-vein with a black streak' Exterior line from behind the centre of the
