reclusa 
nonagrica. 
nigripuncta. 
erigida. 
without crests; femora and tibiae densely hairy; forewing narrow, elongate; costa straight, apex blunt, 
termen evenly curved; neuration normal. Type C. reclusa Walk. 
C. reclusa Walk. (= agrotoides Snell.) (20 b). Forewing pale to dark grey, with darker dusting and 
suffusion; subbasal line marked by a large black spot from costa to median vein; inner line dark, double, 
the arms well separated; oblique outwards from costa, excurved between, and inwardly dentate upon, the 
veins, followed by a minute black dot in the place of orbicular stigma; a diffuse thick dark median shade 
touching the obscure reniform, which is generally edged externally with pale; outer line bent outwards below 
costa, then vertical, slightly curved and indented on submedian fold, double, the inner arm finely 
black and forming black dots on the veins beyond it, followed by a pale dark-edged line; subterminal 
line pale, preceded by a dark grey shade which forms a slight blotch on inner margin; veins towards 
termen speckled grey and black; a row of black terminal dots; hindwing whitish tinged with grey; veins and 
cellspot and inner margin dark grey; fringe whitish; in the <$ the basal half of forewing is clothed with 
closely matted ochreous grey scales, and that of hindwing with dark smoky fuscous scales, the veins being 
deep fuscous also; tegulae, patagia, and dorsum black brown in <$, grey in §; the form unipunctata 
Beth.-Baker has a small black blotch beyond outer line above vein 5. Occurs in the Malay peninsula 
Borneo, Celebes, and New Guinea. 
55. Genus: lieiicoeosmia Btlr. Hul / ^ - 
Differs from Curgia in the palpi, which are alike in both sexes, being much shorter, the second seg¬ 
ment broadly triangularly scaled, the third short and blunt. Type L. nonagrica Walk. 
L. nonagrica Walk. ( = thoracica Moore, ceres Btlr., euthusa Hmps., heliarcha Meyr.) (20 c). Forewing 
of $ greyish fawn colour, with darker dusting; markings much as in reclusa Walk. ; subbasal line dark, but 
never forming a black costal spot; inner line obscure, double, excurved between and dentate on the veins; 
outer line indistinctly double, filled in with whitish, bent outwards below costa from a dark spot above end 
of cell; a diffuse bent dark median shade; subterminal pale, waved, indistinct; orbicular stigma a black 
dot; reniform obscure, filled in with dark, its outer edge always pale; hindwing hyaline whitish, tinged with 
fuscous along termen and inner margin, the veins thickly dark, the fringe white; in the the basal half of fore¬ 
wing is clothed with deep yellow scales and the base of hindwing with yellow hairs; •—- ab. nigripuncta 
ab. nov. (20 c) corresponding to the ab. unipunctata Beth.-Baker of reclusa Walk., —- has a dark spot above 
vein 5 beyond outer line. This species, which is always somewhat smaller than reclusa is found in Sikkim and 
Assam, N. India; in Bombay and Madras, S. India; Ceylon; Batchian; Amboina; Dutch Timor; Little Kei Island; 
Queensland; Lifu, Loyalty Ids.; and the Sandwich Ids. 
56. Germs: Flocelfera Hmps. 
Differs from Dyrzela in the longer narrower forewing with produced apex and oblique termen; in the 
abdomen of <$ being unusually elongate, with large sublateral tufts of flocculent hair from base; and 
in the antennae of the S being ciliated. Type F. erigida Swinh. 
F. erigida Swinh. (= crenulata Beth.-Baker) (20 c). Forewing greyish ochreous, thickly dusted with 
dark; subbasal line blackish, angled outwards below costa and ending in a black point below median; 
inner line indistinct, waved, bent inwards to costa; outer line dark but indistinct, slightly bent outwards below 
costa, then obliquely denticulate, the teeth forming black points on the veins; subterminal line formed 
of black dots; a row of black terminal dots; fringe with a fine yellowish line at base; orbicular stigma a black 
point; reniform a small white spot with a point above it at upper angle of cell, and two below at 
lower angle; an angled diffuse dark median shade; hindwing semihyaline whitish tinged with brown, the veins 
darker; terminal line finely dark. Like the last, a widely spread species; recorded from Travancore, S. 
India; Rangoon and the North Chin Hills, Burma; British New Guinea. The $ must be rare; the only 
specimen known, up to the present, is that mentioned by Hampson from Pirmaad, Travancore. 
57. Genus: Daclica Moore. 
Differs from Dyrzela by the ciliated antennae of the S ; characterised especially by the hindwing of the
