femora hairy; abdomen with dorsal crests. A genus of species of much stouter build than Eumichtis; 
only distinguishable from those of Parastichtis Hbn. by the cilia overhanging the eyes, and these often 
difficult of observation. Larva feeding on low plants. Type C. sommeri Lef. 
Sect. I. Antennae of <$ with tuberculate fascicles of cilia. 
C. adjuncta Moore (Vol. 3 pi. 32 c). Forewing greyish fuscous overlaid with redbrown; in the lines adjuncta. 
and markings much resembling the Palaearctic melanodonta Hmps. from Japan, but smaller and duller; 
the stigmata plainer, with paler annuli; a strong black streak from the claviform to outer line; subterminal 
line denticulate, whitish, preceded by small dark wedge-shaped marks; hindwing brown or reddish 
brown, the veins and termen darker. Found in several localities in the Punjab, also in Tibet and Kashmir, 
beyond the Inchan frontier. 
C. glenura Swinh. (14 cl). Forewing pale fawn colour, suffused with redbrown, fuscous, and black, cjlenura. 
the paler ground colour showing chiefly as a submarginal band from apex to inner margin; a strong 
black streak from base along submedian fold, with streaks of pale ground colour above and below it; 
another black streak above inner margin near base; lines double, filled in with fawn colour; the inner 
oblique to submedian fold, where it is bluntly angled outwards, then acutely inwards on vein 1, and 
again outwards below it, preceded and followed by diffuse reddish brown shadings; outer line lunulate dentate, 
excurved in upper half; subterminal line pale, angulate, the angles on veins 3 and 4 strong and reach¬ 
ing termen, preceded by a row of strongly marked black wedge shaped marks between the veins; the terminal 
area beyond blackish, obliquely cut off below vein 6; median area washed with diffuse redbrown, except 
at costa; claviform stigma black-edged; orbicular a pale flattened oval, also black-edged; reniform 
large, its inner half a fuscous lunule edged internally by a pale black-edgecl line, outwardly pale ochreous 
white, defined by redbrown; hindwing dirty fuscous, with dark cellspot and curved outer line; the

with second segment upturned obliquely, heavily fringed with hair, the third thrown forward, smooth, 
very long and spatulate; antennae of with short sessile fascicles of cilia; thorax and abdomen rough* 
haired; pectus and femora woolly. Type S. nigrogrisea Moore. 
S. nigrogrisea Moore (14 e). Forewing blackish grey, densely powdered with bluish or) slaty nigrogrisea. 
grey atoms; the lines black, thick, but indistinct, and marked on costa by sulphur coloured spots, the 
subbasal line by a double white mark; median and outer lines strongly dentate; subterminal line mark¬ 
ed by a dusting of yellowish scales between rows of black spots; orbicular and reniform stigmata grey, 
marked at base by sulphur yellow scales, forming a short dash below the orbicular and a dot at each 
angle of the reniform; fringe black, dotted and intersected with white beyond the veins; hindwing pale 
bronzy brownish in basal half, dark fuscous in terminal, beyond a dark curved outer line. Sikkim and

9. Genus: Bryolype Hmps. 
Tongue developed; frons smooth; palpi short, porrect; the second segment hairy beneath, the third 
small, smooth; the thorax clothed with scales, with slight crests; antennae of with short sessile fascicles 
of cilia;' veins 6, 7 of hindwing shortly stalked. Type B. mesomelana Hmps. 
B. flavipicta Hmps. Forewing leaden grey with a purple tinge; veins dusted -with black; a black flavipicta. 
streak from base below cell, with yellow streaks above and beyond it; inner line oblique to vein 1, 
then inbent, edged externally with pale; outer line similarly white-edged outwardly, strongly excurved 
round cell, bent inwards to lower edge of reniform, then incurved; subterminal line yellowish, in¬ 
wardly preceded by brown, outwardly followed by patches of blackish, with yellow streaks from it to 
termen in the intervals; claviform stigma black-edged, joined by a black streak to outer line; orbicular

margin; outer hue outcurved beyond cell, incurved to touch reniform; subterminal line preceded by a dark 
shade; claviform stigma edged with black, broad, touching median vein; orbicular pinkish, with fuscous 
centre and partial white annulus; reniform black at centre with olive annulus; hindwing pale reddish brown.
