N. aenescens Moore (Vol. 3, pi. 51 n). Forewing golden yellow; costal edge towards base red; also the aenescens. 
base of inner margin; median and outer bands oblique, blood red, the latter from apex to cell fold only, and 
followed by a line indented on submedian fold and bent outwards to tornus; hind wing dark redbrown 
with yellow fringe; $ more ochreous yellow, with the bands broken and irregular; a dark spot at end of cell; 
hindwing yellow suffused with pale brown except at termen; both sexes exhibit variation; in the ab. aerata aeraia. 
ab. nov. (= ab. 1 I Imps.) the golden tinge of the yellow in the $ becomes brassy and the bands are less pro¬ 
minent; while in ab. denotata ab. nov. ('= ab. 2 limps.) the bands in the forewing of the $ become subobsolete denotata. 
and the hindwing is wholly yellow. The type was described from Formosa; otherwhere the species occurs only 
in China and Japan. 
110. Genus: Xarangodes limps. 
Tongue fully developed; frons smooth; palpi upturned, smoothly scaled, not reaching above vertex; 
antennas of shortly ciliated; thorax and abdomen without crests; the tibias smoothly scaled; forewing 
elongate, the termen oblique; veins 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked; hindwing with 6, 7 shortly stalked; costal and sub¬ 
costal anastomosing for half of cell. Type N. haemorranta Hmps. 
N. haemorranta H?nps. Forewing greyish white suffused with dull blood red; a whitish streak on haemor- 
median nervure; traces of a whitish inner line angled outwards on median vein and inwards on submedian ranta - 
fold, defined on outer side by deeper red in and below cell; a small deep red cell lunule ; a narrow deep red outer 
band, oblique from costa to submedian fold and angled outwards beyond lower angle of cell; subterminal line 
whitish, oblique from apex, angled inwards on the folds and excurved between; fringe whitish mixed with red; 
hindwing brownish grey; the fringe whitish. Loo-choo Islands; only. 
N. nigridiscata Swinh. (25 1). Forewing grey white dusted with red brown; subbasal brown points nigridiscata. 
below costa and cell; inner line oblique from cell to inner margin, outwardly diffused, marked by a spot only 
on costa; cellspot triangular, black brown; outer line brown, slightly curved, inwardly diffused, defined by 
white on outer side; a slight brown subterminal shade and brown terminal line; hindwing white faintly 
tinged with brown. Duaringa, Queensland; described from a single $. 
111. Genus: lletaemene Hmps. 
Tongue present; frons with a ridgelike prominence; palpi obliquely upturned, slender, the terminal 
segment thrown forwards; antennae of ciliated; thorax and abdomen without crests; in the hind wing both 
veins 3, 4 and 6, 7 are stalked. Type M. atrigutta Walk. 
M. atropunctata Pag. Forewing grey; costa with a series of small black spots; an inner spot on sub- atropunet- 
median fold; obliquely placed spots beyond the cell above vein 6 and in discal fold; outer spots above ata - 
and below vein 1; fringe white with a series of black spots; hind wing grey; a black cell dot and dot on cell 
fold beyond cell; fringe white, with a series of 6 black spots from apex to vein 2; in ab. alba Snell, alba. 
the wings and the whole body are white instead of grey; the forewing with slight rufous suffusion in sub¬ 
median interval beyond middle; subbasal and inner costal spots, and 6 on terminal half; the spots on fringe 
reduced to 5; hindwing without the spots in and beyond cell; the spots on fringe 5 only; fringe at tornus 
tinged with rufous. From various localities in Java. 
M. atrigutta Walk. (= niasica Pag.) (27 a). Forewing whitish; a patch at base of inner margin, the atrigutta. 
median area except across submedian interval, three postmedian patches, and a small terminal one on vein 5, 
all rufous; a subbasal black costal dot; two inner points, one on costa, the other on sub median fold; two round 
black spots on the folds and two dots on costa and inner margin form a curved outer series; apical part of 
costa with rufous dots; black dots on termen below apex and black spots on termen and fringe at apex, cell fold, 
and vein 2; hindwing pale rufous; — ab. derufata ab. nov. {— ab. 1 Hmps.) has the ground colour wholly derufata. 
white; — ab. confluens ab. nov. (= ab. 2 Hmps.) shows the white area reduced to bands dilated into patches confluens. 
round the black spots and connected in each fold; the apical spots on costa black; — in the ab. annuligera annuligera. 
ab. nov. (= ab. 3 Hmps.) the white area is reduced to slight annuli only round the spots, and a fine dentate 
subterminal line inangled on the folds and angled outwards on vein 4; — in the ab. niaculata Leech (27 a) maculata. 
there is hardly a trace of pale annuli round the spots; this last seems to be the commonest and most widely
