70. Genus: lialula Walk. 
Tongue absent; frons witli rounded corneous prominence with raised edges and corneous plate 
below it; palpi porrect, slender, apparently closely scaled; antennae of bipectinate with moderate branches 
the apex serrate; the prothorax and metathorax with spreading crests; forewing with apex somewhat produced 
and depressed, the termen obliquely curved; neuration normal, but veins 6, 7 of hindwing stalked. Type 
R. frontalis Walk. 
R. frontalis Walk. Forewing ochreous with a rufous flush; the veins and both folds streaked with ru- frontalis. 
fous; a slight rufous lunule on discocellular; subterminal line rufous, strongly incurved at veins 5 and 2; 
a rufous terminal line; hindwing semihyaline white; the veins and termen tinged with rufous. Ceylon; 
the unique $ type is faded and the description necessarily incomplete. 
71. Genus: Kplietta Walk. 
Tongue absent; frons smooth, bearing a large tuft of hair above and a ridge of hair at top be¬ 
tween the antennae; palpi obliquely upturned, the second segment long and broadly fringed with hair in front, 
the third slender and smooth; antennae of <$ shortly ciliated; thorax roughly haired, without crests; tibiae 
fringed with long hair; abdomen of long and slender; forewing with apex blunt, termen evenly curved and crenu- 
-at,e; neuration normal. Type 8. apicalis Walk. 
S. apicalis Walk. (20 h, i). Forewing greyish ochreous tinged with brown; a brownish white patch on apicalis. 
costa from beyond middle narrowing to a point at apex, defined below by black brown suffusion arising in 
end of cell before the small triangular whitish reniform stigma, the costa and veins on the patch faintly streaked 
with brown; inner line indistinct, double, oblique from costa to median vein; an indistinct inwardly oblique 
dentate median line from lower angle of cell to inner margin; three indistinct minutely dentate inwardly oblique 
outer lines from vein 5 to inner margin, with dark points on veins; traces of a pale subterminal line, 
with dark marks on each side; a terminal series of small black lunules, inwardly defined by whitish; fringe 
mottled, brown and ochreous white; hindwing uniform greyish brown; in the $ the fore wing is more uni¬ 
formly suffused with brown; in the ab. biocellata Moore the head, thorax, and abdomen are much darker in biocellata. 
both sexes; the forewing being nearly uniform dark brown except the pale costal patch; the 3 outer lines re¬ 
duced to black points and pale streaks on the veins; hindwing black brown. Ceylon; also from Bali; the form 
biocellata from Bombay may prove to be a good species. A large species, the $ reaching 60 mm. 
72. Genus: Acrapex Hmps. 
Tongue aborted, minute; frons smooth; palpi upturned, slender, the second segment slightly fringed 
with scales in front, the third short and pointed; thorax and abdomen roughly haired, without crests; 
forewing narrow, the apex prominent, the termen oblique and slightly curved; veins 6, 7 of hindwing 
stalked and usually veins 3, 4 also. Type A. prisca Walk. 
Sect. I. Antennae of $ with tuberculate fascicles of cilia. 
A. exanimis Meyr. (= exsanguis Lower). Forewing white tinged with reddish ochreous, the veins exanimis. 
with fine white streaks; a white streak in the cell fold from before middle of cell to termen; another 
in submedian fold; a fine rufous line at termen; fringe white with brown line in middle; hindwing pure white. 
Kuranda, Brisbane, Mackay, in Queensland; Kona, Hawaii. 
Sect. II. Antennae of $ simply ciliated. 
A. hamulifera Hmps. (20 i). Forewing ochreous; the costal and inner marginal areas with slight hamulifera. 
brown dusting; the cell and area below it to submedian fold from base to the oblique subterminal line 
and apex thickly irrorated with brown and black, but leaving a whitish streak on median vein and 
thence obliquely to apex, emitting a slight hook on discocellular; small, ill-defined black spots at middle 
of cell and in submedian interval; an oblique outer row of black dots between veins 7 and 1; sub-
