R. perstriata Hmps. (28h). Forewing pale ochreous; an obscure diffuse fuscous streak along median 
nervure and vein 4 to termen; inner and outer lines marked by black spots on veins; a slight black costal 
mark before apex, and a terminal row of black dots; hindwing ochreous. Kangra, N. W. Himalayas. 
6. Genus : Cantliylidia Btlr. 
In this genus the foretibia is still further shortened and broadened than in Rhaguva Moore, and like it 
armed with a long curved claw at its extremity on the inner side and a short one on the outer; that on 
the inner side preceded by two short spines; the costal swelling and the brands below slight and inconspicuous, 
not causing distortion of veins. Type G. pallida Btlr. Mainly an Australian genus, where the species are numerous, 
occurring also in the islands of Sumba, and Timor. 
C. cistella Swinh. (27k). Forewing ochreous white; inner and outer lines brownish; the inner rather 
diffuse and straight; the outer bent outwards just below costa, excurved above, and incurved below vein 4; 
subterminal line pale preceded by fuscous suffusion, interrupted beyond cell and excurved at middle; the ter¬ 
men brownish with row of black dots; all three stigmata conspicuously blackish, with pale centres; hindwing 
whiter; the subterminal band brownish expanding at apex to termen. Sherlock River, W. Australia. 
C. clathrata spec. nov. (27k). Larger than cistella and not so purely white, the costa and veins being 
diffusely olive brownish; there is also a pale brownish band between the subbasal and inner lines, and olive 
suffusion along vein 1 and at base of veins 2, 3, 4; the three stigmata are filled up with deep olive, some¬ 
times with the centres slightly paler; the subbasal, inner, and outer lines are darker, being more mixed with 
blackish scales, especially at the outward teeth of the outer line, more strongly waved and dentate; the prae- 
submarginal shade is broader and stronger, the veins beyond it more thickly marked with olive; fringe mottled 
pale olive and white; hindwing with broad complete dark fuscous terminal border, containing white marginal 
lunules above and below vein 3; a dark postmedian line visible between veins 6 and 1; in one $ the veins 
and cellspot are also grey; face, palpi, thorax, and abdomen whitish flushed with pale olive brown. Described 
from 2 $9 in the Tring Museum from Coomooboolaroo, Dawson district, Queensland; also from Cedar Bay, 
1 1 9, with olive brown markings, = ab. pallida ab. nov. (27k); in 3 other 9$> from Geraldton and Ce¬ 
dar Bay, the terminal border of hindwing is broken up and approaches that of cistella, = ab. exesa ab. nov. 
(271); in a pair from Derby district, West Australia the outer line of fore wing is much nearer the termen, afford¬ 
ing room for traces of a median shade, = ab. notata ab. nov. (271). 
In the remaining species the stigmata are obsolete, or obscurely marked. 
C. eodora Meyr. (= tenuistria Trnr.) (271). Forewing reddish flesh colour, suffused, except in ter¬ 
minal area, with purplish pink and white; the costal edge and a streak on inner margin white; a narrow 
yellowish white streak from middle of cell to termen; some slender pale streaks above veins 7, 6, and 4, and 
a longer one from base along submedian fold; hindwing yellowish white; the terminal area suffused with grey 
brown, which extends inwards to below the cell. Queensland, N. S. Wales, and W. Australia; also from the is¬ 
lands of Sumba and Sambawa, whence the Tring Museum possesses a good series taken by W. Doherty. 
C. cladotus Swinh. (271). Forewing cream white; the veins thickly dark brown; a brown praesub- 
marginal shade interrupted at the folds; in dark 9$ the subcostal and median veins and vein 1 are more thickly 
brown, and the outer area is suffused with brown above and below the cellfold; fringe brown with white tips; 
hindwing white; veins towards termen brownish; a diffuse brownish subterminal band, sometimes subobsolete; 
in the ab. densata ab. nov. (271), besides the thicker brown suffusion of fore wings, the band of hindwings is ter¬ 
minal, black, and well defined; in ab. hyalina ab. nov. (27m) the hindwing is hyaline grey. W. Australia. 
One of the larger species. 
C. mesoleuca Hmps. (28i). Forewing silky golden brown covered with white irroration; a white 
streak from middle of cell to termen, and along submedian fold from base to termen; a slight streak above 
vein 6; hindwing white irrorated with brown; the terminal area brown from apex to vein 2. N\ S. Wales. 
C. neurias Meyr. (271). Forewing cream white, with a yellowish brown tinge along costa; the 
veins streaked with dark brown, especially the median; a white streak through cell to termen; hindwing 
whitish, suffused with fuscous, more strongly in the 9> towards termen. Described from Port Darwin, N.
