distigmata 
orthosioides. 
116 APOSTEMA; HYALOBOLE. By W. Warren. 
outcurved between veins 8 and 4, then inwardly oblique and straight; basal area a mixture of grey 
and fulvous, the subbasal line curved, whitish; claviform stigma obscurely marked, only the point plain; 
the upper two orange with brown outlines; the orbicular large and round; the reniform oblong, edged 
outwardly by 5 pure white spots; those on each side of veins 4 and 6 large; the middle one above 
vein 5 quite small; subterminal line pale fulvous, defined by a row of brown grey lunules preceding it, 
the veins on each side of it broadly brownish; costal and inner marginal areas grey without the fulvous; 
fringe dark grey, with a pale line at base; hindwing pale fuscous with a fulvous tinge, the basal area 
paler; cellspot dark. A fine species, taken at several localities in the Punjab. 
18. Genus: Apostemn gen. nov. 
Differs from Cosmia in the palpi being much longer, porrect or decumbent, the second segment 
fringed with hair both above and below, the third long and drooping; the antennae of the <$ have 
tuberculate fascicles of cilia, the cilia much longer; thirdly, the basal segment of dorsum bears a prominent 
crest. Type A. distigmata Hmps. 
A. distigmata Hmps. (14 i). Forewing olive yellow, sprinkled with ferruginous scales and tinged 
with reddish grey brown in central area; the veins reddish grey brown; lines red brown; inner bent 
inwards on veins and projecting between them; outer oblique to vein 6, then sinuous inwards, dentate 
lunulate; stigmata large, yellow, with some reddish scales on them and edged with brown; the clavi¬ 
form broad, well rounded outwards, contiguous to the round orbicular; the reniform with its lower end 
produced outwardly below median, and marked by two white spots, one on each side of vein 4; a trian¬ 
gular reddish grey brown costal blotch before subterminal line, which is obscurely lunulate dentate; ter¬ 
minal line reddish grey, distinctly crenulate; the fringe yellowish at base, pinkish grey beyond; hind¬ 
wing fuscous below middle, the cell, costal area, extreme termen, and fringe straw yellow. Pound only in the 
Punjab. 
19. Genus: Myalobole gen. nov. 
Tongue well developed; frons smooth, roughly haired, like the vertex; palpi porrect, long, the 
second segment rough haired above and below, the third smoothly scaled, decumbent; antennae of 
with tuberculate fascicles of cilia; thorax and abdomen without crests; pectus and femora woolly; fore¬ 
wing as in the preceding genus, with wliich the present genus agrees in the main, but from which it is 
separated by the structure of the hindwing; in this 6, 7 are stalked, the discocellular is acutely angled 
inwards in middle, the lower arm being long and oblique; the lower half of cell below discal fold is hya¬ 
line throughout, ending in the shape of a wedge; this peculiarity of structure is found also in the genus 
Tiracola Moore. Type H orthosioides spec. nov. 
H. orthosioides spec. nov. (14 i). Forewing pale yellowish rufous, sprinkled with darker rufous scales 
and in parts suffused with grey; lines brownish rufous; the inner double, the arms well separated, out- 
curved in middle; the outer also double, lunulate dentate, the teeth dark on the veins and partially lost- 
in a band of grey suffusion preceding the waved and dentate subterminal line; the outer line is merely 
slightly flexuous, not, as usual, strongly incurved below middle; a brown diffuse median shade below 
middle; claviform stigma absent; orbicular and reniform of the ground colour, with brown outlines; the 
former round, the latter constricted at middle of outer edge, and . reaching below median vein; ter¬ 
minal dark spots between veins; fringe concolorous, with paler base; hindwing yellowish rufous, grey-tinged; 
a grey cellspot, outer line, and submarginal cloud; the veins also dark; underside much paler, somewhat 
glossy, the outer lines and cell marks only shown darker; head, thorax, and abdomen rufous, the palpi exter¬ 
nally browner; abdomen beneath, pectus, and legs paler. Darjiling. 
1. Subfamily: Amphipyrinae. 
The species of the subfamily Euxoinae are characterised by the spinose tibiae; those of the Hadeninae by the hairy 
eyes; those of the Cucullianae by the ciliated eyes. The imagos of the Amphipyrinae are distinguished by the absence of all 
these characteristics; as might be expected in a group from which all the preceding families have been gradually developed, 
the species comprised in it are much more numerous than in any of the others, this subfamily being, roughly speaking, as large 
as all the other three put together. Alike in structural peculiarities and in shape of wing the imagos will be found to be very 
variable; the neuration of the wings also, in a few genera, differs from the ordinary scheme of the Noctuidae, the areole being
