31. Genus: Cosaserviila Grote. 
Differs from Chutapha ill the antennae of £ being pubescent only; in the pro thorax being without 
a crest, and in the forewing being shorter, the apex less prominent, the termen hardly crenulate. Type 
C. anodonta Grote from X. America. 
C. indica Moore ( 1 8g). Forewing dull pinkish ochreous dusted with grey; the median area olive indica. 
rufous, except along costa; lines finely pale edged with dark; the inner oblique and straight, angled inwards 
below costa; outer bent outwards below costa, then hardly curved and oblique inwards; subterminal 
line pale, minutely crenulate, preceded by an olive rufous shade; terminal area dark grey; veins in terminal 
half finely pale; fringe deep rufous olive, with a pale line at base; orbicular and reniform stigmata of 
the pale ground colour, conversely oblique, broadly connected along and below median, the two forming a 
blunt V-shaped mark with a small rufous V in middle; hindwing ochreous white, greyer in $; a fine sub¬ 
marginal line, the termen diffusely, and the fringe olive rufous. Occurs in the Punjab and Sikkim: 
also from W. China. 
C. v-brunneum Guen. (= cingalesa Moore) (18g). Differs from indica in the inner and outer v-brunneum. 
lines both being slightly curved; the V formed by the two stigmata shallower, with the edges more 
curved; the ochreous ground colour more strongly dusted with grey; hindwing as in indica. Xilgiri 
Hills, and Pondicherry, Madras; Ceylon. The S. Indian form of indica. Larva yellow green, dusted with yellow; 
oblique yellow lines defined by dark green on each segment ; the interrupted dorsal line and the lateral 
lines pale yellow; feeding on bracken, and spinning up in a slight cocoon among the fronds. 
32. Genus : Oroplexia Hmps. 
Tongue fully developed; frons smooth; palpi upturned, the second segment stout, fringed with hair 
in front, the third short; antennae of with slight sessile fascicles of cilia; thorax and dorsum without 
crests; pectus long-haired; abdomen laterally fringed with hair; forewing with apex blunt and termen 
crenulate; neuration normal. Type 0. decorata Moore. 
0. decorata Moore (18 g). Forewing olive brown sprinkled with bluish scales; the median area decorata. 
deep purplish brown; fringe of inner margin bright rufous; the lines, stigmata, and space between veins 
2 and 4 at base rufous; inner line oblique outwards, preceded by a long purplish brown blotch above 
inner margin; the outer line bent outwards below costa, denticulate from 7 to 2, then oblique, double, 
dark filled in with rufous, the outer arm emitting long dark teeth; subterminal line edged with velvety 
black on both sides, denticulate to vein 4, then zigzag; marginal dark lunules; orbicular stigma oblique, elong¬ 
ate, with brown centre and pale blue-scaled annulus; reniform large, indented at middle of outer edge, its 
centre a rufous lunule, the annulus pale, strongly and narrowly bent inwards along median vein to orbicular; 
fringe olive tawny, with a blackish middle line and sprinkled with bluish scales; hindwing olive fuscous, 
paler towards base, with the veins, cellspot, and outer line darker; fringe rufous fuscous with dark 
middle line, Sikkim and Bhutan; also at Yatong, Tibet. 
0. retrahens Walk. (18 h). Forewing fuscous brown, deeper in central area; the fringe of inner retmhens. 
margin pale ochreous; inner line double and dark at costa, angled outwards on subcostal vein, filled in 
with ochreous and waved across wing, preceded by a black blotch on inner margin; outer line oblique 
outwards to below vein 7, then oblique inwards and faintly crenulate, below vein 1 incurved to meet inner line, 
white edged externally with black and then with ochreous; submarginal line whitish, interrupted, pre¬ 
ceded by black blotches between veins, and followed by bluish white scaling at apex; terminal lunules 
black; terminal line yellowish; fringe fuscous cut by yellowish rays beyond veins; claviform large, black 
edged; orbicular round, with brown centre and black ring; reniform black, with the discocellular olive brown 
and the lateral edges white, extending below median vein; hindwing dark fuscous with basal half paler; 
fringe with pale base and tips. Occurs in Assam and Sikkim; also in Kashmir; the type was described 
from Ceylon, probably erroneously. This and the succeeding species are distinctly smaller than the rest. 
0. luteifrons Walk. (18 h). Forewing black brown; the lines white, edged thickly with black; inner line luteifrons. 
strongly angled outwards on subcostal vein and finely bent inwards, below subcostal broadly Avhite and curved, 
below vein 1 inbent towards base; outer line bent outwards below costa, then denticulate, and strongly 
incurved below middle, the black outer edge followed by a band of white and rufous brown expanding 
towards costa; subterminal line whitish, interrupted and waved; veins paler in places; 3, 4 white at 
base; all thickened and sprinkled with grey before termen; claviform stigma black, obscure; orbicular
