the poles of garden-fences, where they mostly sit well protected by their wood-colour, about half a metre or 
a metre above the ground, is presumably due to their food-plants being frequently used as garden-produce, 
such as the sumac, the terebinths, the Anacardium grown for obtaining the acajou or the cashew-nuts for the 
chemist's shop. There occur mass-flights as in the most closely allied Stictoptera, though they are very rare in 
consequence of extraordinary weather-conditions. 
Eutelianae (Phloglophorinae). 
By M. Gaede. 
Genus: Tibiocillarla B.-Bak. 
Palpi thick, obliquely rising, the third joint short. Antennae of G shortly pectinated on the basal 
halves. Tegulae with a raised tuft. Hind tibiae hairy in front and behind, the first tarsal joint very hairy in 
front. A few small tufts on the abdomen. Forewing slightly angled at vein 4. Neuration normal. Only 1 species 
known. 
T. pratti B.-Bak. (32 a). Thorax dark chocolate brown, abdomen dark brown. Forewing violettish 
brown, lighter in the apical area. The interior line light, twice extra-angular below the costal margin, then 
very obliquely inward. The basal area before it blackish in the lower part. A long whitish radial streak behind 
the cell. Exterior line whitish, double, bent S-like. This line and the radial line divide a large luniform black 
spot extending from the cross-vein to the distal margin. A black spot also at the apex. Hindwing white, with 
a broad black margin. 28—32 mm. New Guinea. 
Genus: ISombotelia Hmps. 
As to the genus cf. Vol. 15, p. 172. It differs from the preceding genus in a larger tuft on the thorax 
in front, smaller tufts on the abdomen and more hairy tibiae. The antennae vary in the 3 subordinate groups. 
Type: jocosatrix Chi. from India. Most of the species occur in New Guinea, one also in Africa. 
1. Antennae of G with moderately long pectinated basal halves, 
the apical thirds c i 1 i a t e d. 
B. nugatrix Gn. (31 b). Body and forewing dark lilac brown. Interior line double, blackish, filled with 
grey, excurved below the cell. Reniform macula dark, edged with grey. Exterior line also double, excurved 
between the costal margin and vein 4, vertical from vein 2. A fine white line behind it. Submarginal line white, 
a dark brown band before it in the anterior part. Hindwing white, broadly brown at, the margin. 26—28 mm. 
India. 
2. Antennae of G tufted in the basal halves, almost plain behind 
them, of $ serrate in the basal thirds. 
B. maculata Btlr. (32 a). Body and forewing violettish brown. Interior band dark brown with parallel 
white margins, somewhat inward below the cell. Close behind it a faint dark line excurved as far as the sub¬ 
median fold. Reniform macula narrow, dark. Exterior line double, finely white, extra-angular at vein 6, then 
rather straightly inward. Behind it a black triangular spot from the angle at vein 6 to the margin at vein 3. 
The fine white submarginal line extra-angular at vein 6 to the margin. Hindwing white, broadly violettish 
brown at the margin. 30 mm. India, Sikkim. 
3. Antennae of G strongly tufted, the apical halves p 1 a i n. 
B. dinawaensis B.-Bak. (32 a). Thorax red-brown, abdomen paler. Forewing fiery red, pale red-brown 
at the costal margin, the marginal area dark brown. A yellow spot at the base at the inner margin and one 
behind the interior line. A white streak behind the cell to the exterior line. The obsolete interior line black, 
straightly inward from almost the centre of the costal margin. Exterior line brown, with a white dot at the 
costal margin, excurved as far as vein 4, introangular in the submedian fold. Submarginal line outward as 
far as vein 6, composed of yellow dots, finely white from vein 4. Hindwing white, broadly red-brown at the 
margin, a short white streak near the anal angle. 25 mm. New Guinea. 1 G known. 
B. aureiplaga B.-Bak. (32 a)-. Thorax dark red-brown, abdomen lighter. Forewing dark red-brown, 
golden yellow in the inner-marginal half and at the exterior line. Interior line brown, with a white dot at the 
costal margin, oblique as far as the submedian fold. Cross-vein blackish. Exterior line brown, with a white
