36. Genus: I*y«lna Wlcr. (p. 620) 
albibasis. P. albibasis Mats. Somewhat similar to formosicola Strd. (pi. 82 c). Forewmg reddish-brown, at the 
base somewhat grey, at the margin yellowish. The main line from the apex similar as in formosicola and most 
of the other species, but at the margin a yellow lunular band is partitioned off by two notched lines. Hindwing 
white, at the margin yellowish. $ 44 mm. Taihoku. 
80. Genus: Efotoclonta 0 . (p. 640) 
iakcimukui. N. takamukui Mats, belongs near to gigantea Eliv. (80 d) or a form of it. Owing to the very elongated 
shape of the wings, the genus Acmeshachia Mats, established for this species may at least remain as the name 
of a group. Interior and exterior lines still feebler than in gigantea, but the anterior white notched portion of 
the exterior line much more distinct. At the exterior half of the anterior cell-margin a thick black streak 
continued at vein 6 to the exterior line. Behind the latter a short streak above vein 6 and a twice as long 
streak above vein 7. both of which are only feebly marked in gigantea. The marginal lunular line is more distinct. 
$ 90 mm. Horisha. 
musticnsis. N. mushensis Mats, is said to resemble Not. stigmatica Grunb. which I cannot confirm, nor is it in the 
least similar to Hup. stigmatica Griinbg. (Vol. II, pi. 45 g) but to Not. oberthiiri Stgr. (pi. 46 b) at most. 
Ground-colour probably brown. Interior line blackish-brown, before it darker, behind it lighter. Exterior line double, 
its branches at the costal margin somewhat more separated, but in the original figure it is plain, without notches. 
Submarginal line not composed of black dots as in oberthiiri , but facledly continuous, at the costal and inner 
margins darker and very near to the exterior line. By the latter it is the most easily separable from oberthiiri. 
Hindwing scarcely different. $ 44 mm. Formosa. 
takasagonis. N. takasagonis Mats, also resembles oberthiiri. Forewing more brownish. Interior line apparently 
somewhat more slanting. No reniform macula. If the original figure is correct, the exterior line lacks the 
uniform fine notches; it projects distally a little at vein 4 and more distinctly so below the costal margin. 
Hindwing with a narrower median line than in oberthiiri, which is hardly possible; it may be meant that the 
exterior band is narrower. 48 mm. Formosa. 
Genus: Microplialera Btlr. 
C'f. Vol. II, p. 299. 
viushana. M. mushasia Mats. Allied to atrovittata Brem. (Vol. II, pi. 45 f). On the forewing the interior line is as 
faded as on the figure of atrovittata. In reality, it is black in the latter, notched, far excurved in the centre. 
A median band is likewise marked at the costal margin, and the exterior line is scarcely different. The dark 
radial stripe is parted before the interior line. Behind the exterior line a dark nebulous band in the centre of 
the distal area in the anterior portion, but no radial diffuse patch. £ 64 mm. Formosa. 
Genus: Toj^aritenslia Mats. 
Palpi short, somewhat erect. Antennae of $ tufted, with filiform tips. Forewing with a pointed apex, 
distal margin slightly undulated. Inner margin before the middle with a scaled dent. Vein 3 far off from 4. 5 
above the centre of the cross-vein. According to the description veins 6 10 seem to be stalked. A specimen 
with the same contours of wings, but in not intact condition, shows also vein 5 near the upper cell-angle in 
the original figure, and not “above the centre of the cross-vein”. Vein 6 from % of the long accessory cell, 
7 + 8 + 9 from its apex, 10 a little below the apex. The inner margin shows a projecting lobe before the middle; 
in this specimen a scaled dent is not to be noticed. In the hindwing vein 5 is somewhat less distinct, 6 + 7 on a 
long stalk, 8 nearing the centre of the cell and connected with it by a bar. 
acuta. T. acuta Mats, is said to exhibit a marking and shape of the wings somewhat similar to Leuc. acuta- 
virgo Btlr. (Vol. II, pi. 48 b); in reality, it resembles, to a certain degree, Drep. grisearia Stgr. (pi. 48 d). 
Forewing greyish brown with a slight violet gloss. Cross-vein marked black, before it in the cell a lighter 
spot. At the inner margin the lobe is orange with a blackish partition-line. Behind it as far as the apex a 
distinct dark line. Apex somewhat darkened. Hindwing somewhat paler than forewing, only at the apex dark 
scales. $ 45 mm. Horisha.
