Sp. argentata Mr. (79 d). Tegulae and centre of thorax dark red-brown. Forewing brownish-grey, argentata. 
Interior and exterior lines double, at the base rows of black dots. Cross-vein edged with black. The surroundings 
of the anal angle brownish. Hindwing greyish-brown. $ 38 mm. Sikkim. 
90. Genus: Spsitaloiries Mats. 
Palpi bent up. Prothorax with a strong tuft. Abdomen very Jong, at the end with a parted tuft. 
Forewing elongated, with scaled dents as in Spatalia. Vein 6 from the lower end of the long narrow accessory 
cell, 7 and 10 + 8-1-9 from its apex. Type: dives Oberth. from Eastern Asia. 
I. Antennae of ^somewhat shorter pectinated than in the following group. 
Sp. argentifera Wkr. (= plusiata Wkr.) (Vol. II, pi. 46 f). Forewing pale brown, below the cell and at argentifera 
the margin broadly dark red-brown. Before the margin light oblique streaks between the anterior veins. r l he 
silvery streak below the cell is short, above the base of vein 2 a silvery triangle. 42—48 mm. North India, 
Sumatra, Borneo. - sikkima Mr. (79 d) is darker. The silvery streak longer and thicker, the one at vein 2 silckima. 
mostly I-shaped Sikkim, Kwangtung, Cooktown. — suniatrensis form. nov. (79 d) is light olive brown. The sumatren- 
main spot is about semicircular, the spot at vein 2 as in argentifera. Hindwing in the marginal third reddish- 
brown, before if lighter. $ 44 mm. Sumatra (Barisan Mts., 800 m). Type in the British Museum. 
Sp. gemmifera Mr. (79 d). Accessory cell mostly absent. Forewing rusty brown, above the centre gemmifera. 
of the inner margin rusty yellow and with similar spots in the marginal area.. The main silvery spot is large, 
broad, besides a small one at the base, and between them a dot. Hindwing pale reddish-brown. 45 mm. 
Sikkim. 1 $ from Sumatra has almost white hindwings. 
II. Antennae of longer pectin a+ e d , of $ dentate. 
Sp. punctifera Wkr. Forewing pale greyish-brown, lined with rusty red, with a fine dark interior and punctifcra. 
exterior line. Submarginal line quite straight, inside edged with lead-colour like the reniform macula. Before 
the margin rusty red spots. Hindwing pale reddish-brown. 45—50 mm. Sarawak. 
Sp. auritractata Mi . (79 d). At the costal margin a light stripe, a similar one behind the cell and at the auritrac- 
lower portion of the distal margin. Below the cell and vein 3 a long golden streak. Vein 6 at or below the cell- 
angle, 10 only shortly stalked with 8 + 9. $ 42—44 mm. Sikkim. 
The following species are very much alike. 
Sp. costalis Mr. (79 d). Forewing dark red-brown, at the costal margin excepting the apex pale yellow, costalis. 
At the cross-vein a white V. The end of the median vein, vein 2, and a little also vein 3 silvery white. A light 
interior and exterior line very indistinct. Hindwing light reddish-brown. 45—50 mm. Sikkim. — indistincta indistincta. 
Rothsch. shows the costal margin spotted somewhat pale olive. Java, Borneo, Queensland, lignea Pagst., 
from the Key Is., is probably the same, but the type is too much damaged. - affinis Rothsch. (79 e) has a very affinis. 
dark ground-colour. The pencil on the thorax is not ochreous brown but quite dark. The silvery streaks are 
very thick, and the one at the median vein extends almost to the base. <$ 48 nun. New Guinea, argentifera 
Trnr. (nec Wkr.) is probably the same. 
Sp. albifasciata limps. Collar light. Forewing with a broad light band at the costal margin, otherwise albifasciata 
brown. Enclosed in it at the base a large oval rusty brown spot and a red one behind the lower cell-angle. 
Exterior line indistinct, pale. Submarginal line dark, undulated; indistinct. <$ 46 mm. Nilgiris. 
Sp. laticostalis Hmps. The light costal margin extends to the base of vein 2 and then rectilinearly to laticostalis. 
the distal margin. Around the cross-vein broadly faded olive brown as far as the costal margin. Without a 
V-mark, without silvery streaks. A.dark exterior and submarginal line distinct. $ 46 mm. Khasia Hills. 
91. Genus: l&osaiilil Wkr. (Eguria Mats.) 
Palpi long as in Hypena. Patagia penciliform. Forewing short and broad, with a feeble scaled dent 
at the centre of the inner margin and at the end. Vein 6 from the upper cell-angle, 7, 8 + 9 and 10 from the 
apex of the long narrow accessory cell. Type: strigosa Wkr. 
R. strigosa Wkr. (79 e). Forewing rusty brown in the basal and distal areas. In the median area more strigosa. 
violettish-brown. Before the cell almost to the apex lighter. Interior line dark, oblique, fine, undulated, exterior
