116. Genus: Hypoperigea limps. 
Tongue present; frons with a small truncate conical prominence with raised rim and a corneous plate 
below it; palpi obliquely upturned, the second segment broadly scaled; antennae of minutely serrate and 
pubescent; slight crests on prothorax and metathorax and on basal segment of dorsum; neuration normal. 
Type H. tonsa Guen. The genus contains 2 Australian and 1 Indian species. 
H. turpis Walk. (= discophora Hmps .) (30 a). Forewing brownish white irrorated with fuscous; some turpis. 
orange red on costa at base and along both folds; inner line double, inner arm indistinct, obliquely waved, 
with whitish points before it in cell and on vein 1; outer line double, bent outwards below costa, then den- 
tate-lunulate, the teeth white and black on the veins, oblique below vein 4; claviform stigma small, orange red 
defined by blackish; orbicular and reniform with orange red centres and white annuli defined by blackish, both 
constricted at middle; subterminal line white, with some blackish on inner side; the area beyond it reddish; 
a row of minute black terminal lunules; fringe brown, the tips whitish with row of fuscous points; hindwing 
pure white in the terminal area tinged with fuscous in $. A small species: the type from N. India; Hampson’s 
discophora from Madras, S. India. 
H. tonsa Guen. (= rubrispersa Trnr.) (30a). Forewing ferruginous irrorated with fuscous, especially tonsa. 
on costal half of median area; a double waved black subbasal line; inner line dark, oblique, highly waved,

whitish defined by blackish, and their centres by brown, the former round; outer line denticulate edged out¬ 
wardly with whitish, incurved below vein 4; subterminal line waved, the terminal area paler; hindwing whit¬ 
ish suffused with reddish brown; in the ab. inornata ab. nov. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) the head, thorax, and forewing inornata 
are without any red scales. Queensland; W. Australia; N. S.-Wales; Victoria. 
H. haemorrhanta Trnr. (30 a). Forewing greyish, almost wholly suffused and irrorated with black hacmor- 
brown; a diffuse fiery red streak in submedian fold, and the interspaces of terminal area streaked with fiery rhanta. 
red; a slight black subbasal spot on costa; inner line denticulate, angled outwards in submedian fold; orbicular 
stigma a black dot; reniform marked by fiery red scales on each side of the black discoidal line; a sinuous

then denticulate, excurved above, incurved below vein 4; subterminal line dark, dentate; a waved black ter¬

land; described from a single $. 
117. Genus: I*lagi«leicta gen. nov. 
Distinguished from Hypoperigea Hmps. by the much shorter build and the purely lamellate antennae 
of the G ; the palpi have the second segment thicker and more strongly scaled, the third conspicuous. 
Type P. leprosticta Hmps. The forewings of this genus are marked with large more or less confluent patches of 
pale scales along the costal region. 
P. leprosticta Hmps. (30 a). Forewing dark olive brown suffused with blackish fuscous; the lines blackish, leprosticta. 
lunulate-dentate, the teeth of the outer line indicated below middle by white dashes; a white basal spot joined 
at middle to a large white blotch shaped roughly like a clover leaf; an oblong white patch on costa beyond inner 
line concisely limited below by the subcostal vein; a large round white blotch at costa between outer and sub¬ 
terminal line, and a smaller apical patch beyond it, more elongate; orbicular stigma represented by two small 
white spots obliquely placed, the lower the larger; reniform a bean-shaped white blotch; a small round white 
patch on submedian fold filling up the lunule in the subterminal line; a line of black terminal lunules; all the 
white patches are slightly discoloured in the centre with ochreous; hindwing dull dark grey, fuscous-tinged 
towards termen; underside whitish, with the lines marked, the costal areas ochreous-tinged; terminal area of 
forewing white; head, palpi, antennae and tegulae dark brown; patagia and base of thorax white; thorax and 
abdomen ochreous tinged with brown. Ceylon and the Malay peninsula; the form from the Khasia Hills, 
subsp. major subsp. nov. is larger, with the ground colour pale rufous brown, and the lines in consequence major. 
much plainer; the white subbasal blotch is more evidently trefoil-shaped; the costal blotch beyond inner 
line is rounded not oblong, and instead of being limited by the subcostal vein is coalescent with the orbicular 
and reniform blotches which are larger; the other three blotches are also larger; underside of forewing fuscous 
with the terminal area whitish; of hindwing whitish with costa grey-speckled; a large dark cell spot and strongly 
dentate outer line; head and tegulae ochreous mixed with brown; thorax and patagia white; metathorax and
