and outwards below vein 1; outer slightly excurved, Avith short black teeth beyond it on the veins, follow¬ 
ed by an indistinct brownish line; subterminal line less concise, brownish, wavy, inbent on both folds; 
a brown terminal line with white dots at the vein ends; an obscure angled dark median shade; orbicular

a black point on costa near base; inner line also marked by a black point on costa, then becoming

small black dots; a faint bent median shade; hindAving brownish grey; fringe whitish. Described from a 
$ only from British New Guinea; the position of the species is doubtful in the absence of the <$. 
Sect. II. Inner margin of hindwing of <$ with a fringe of glossy hairs; 
veins 3, 4 of hindwing not stalked.

species the hindAving of <$ is triangular, the termen straight from tornus to vein 5, then rounded. 
D. albanalis Warr. (20 d). Smaller than lineosa Moore ; the distance between the inner and outer albanalis. 
lines less, but otherwise without difference; hindwing paler, especially in the $; the termen is rounded in the 
S as hi the $; underside of hindwing with the space between the rough scales of costal area and the fringe 
of inner margin white, interrupting the dark outer line; anal tuft of the <$ white. Ceylon and the Khasia Hills, 
Assam. The single example from Assam, a has the outer line of foreAving nearly straight, and may 
r epresent a distinct species. 
58. Genus: Strepselydua Warr. 
Differs from Dadica Moore in the hindAving of the S having no beds of rough hair and scales on 
the underside; the termen of both wings of is indented at middle, and the costa of forewing slightly 
shouldered at base; the abdomen of <$ laterally tufted; palpi more smoothly scaled, upcurved in front of face.
