94. Genus: Himerois Tmr. 
Differs from Cophanta and Xanthograpta in having only one slight crest on basal segment of dorsum; 
and in the costal and subcostal veins of hindwing anastomosing for half of cell; veins 7, 8, 9, 10 are stalked 
as in Cophanta. Type H. thiochroa Tmr. 
H. univittata Pag. (26i). ForeAving yellow, the costal edge brown towards base; a fine oblique minutely 
waved black outer line with a brown band on its outer side, indented on each fold; a pale brown band along 
termen; fringe red brown; hindwing yellowish white, the terminal area slightly rufous from apex to vein 2. 
Kinigunang, New Britain. 
H. thiochroa Tmr. Forewing ochreous, the costal edge black towards base; a small black spot in cell 
at origin of vein 2; outer black dots on veins 6, 5, 4; a terminal line of small black lunules; fringe black brown; 
hindwing brownish, whitish towards base. Townsville, Queensland. 
The preceding 3 genera Cophanta Walk., Xanthograpta Hmps., and Himerois Tmr. are doubt¬ 
fully included here, vein 5 of the hindwing in all of them being weak and obsolescent. 
95. Genus: Ptyopterota Hmps. 
Tongue fully developed; frons smooth; palpi upcurved, the second segment moderately scaled, the third 
short and slender; antennae of $ ciliated; thorax and abdomen smooth; a small dorsal crest only on basal 
segment of abdomen; the claspers of $ elongate; forewing elongate, the costa curved, apex rectangular; 
termen evenly curved; E with a fringe of long scales on underside along subcostal vein from base to end of 
cell; vein 3 from well before angle of cell; an areole present, hind wing with veins 3, 5 from lower angle of

patch beyond it from costa to median vein, then sinuous; a black bar at end of cell; outer line indistinct, double,
