388 APOTHRIPA; NANAGUNA. By M. Gaede. 
9. Genus: Apothripa 
Palpi shorter. Abdomen with a basal tuft. Forewing: veins 3 -)- 4 stalked, besides veins 10 -|- 7 | 8 f 9 
stalked. Hindwing: vein 5 present, 3 + 4 stalked. Type: iphida Swh., besides there are only two Indian species 
belonging to the genus. 
A. albonotata Hmps. (36 a). Forewing pale olive brown. Interior line white, double, widely excurved 
in the middle. A white triangle below it above the middle of the inner margin, its apex extending to vein 2. 
Yellow scales in the cell. Reniform macula small, yellow and red-brown, edged with black. Exterior line wdiite, 
obliquely outward as far as vein 6, then vertical. A triangular black spot behind it at the costal margin, edged 
with white, almost as far as the apex. The anal angle browner. Submarginal line finely white. Hindwing whitish, 
brownish at the apex. 20 mm. Sikkim, Burma, Philippines. 
A. binotata Hmps. (36 a). Forewing with a black longitudinal streak below the cell as far as the margin. 
Greenish above this line, pink below it, a white streak at the centre of the inner margin. Interior line fine, white, 
extinct, widely excurved. The white exterior line with a spot behind it at the costal margin as in albonotata, in¬ 
curved below vein 4 beneath the cell-end, then outward. The white submarginal line indistinct. Hindwing 
brownish. 20 mm. 1 $ from Assam. 
A. iphida Swh. Forewing lilac red-brown, narrowly whitish at the costal margin and broader whitish 
at the inner margin as far as the exterior line, somewhat pink above vein 1. Interior line indiscernible. A blackish 
streak at the cross-vein. The dark exterior line also rather indistinct, widely excurved below the costal margin, 
then parallel to the distal margin. Hindwing white, the margin narrowly brownish. 22 mm. 1 $ from Assam. 
10. Genus: Xaiiaguua Wkr 
Palpi somewhat longer, especially the third joint. Antennae of $ plain. Neuration as in Apothripa, but 
veins 3 and 4 of forewing not stalked. The typical species shows the antennae of the d scaled near the base. 
Hindwing with long hair at the costal margin near the base, the typical species has besides 2 liair-pencils near 
the base on the upper surface. The few species are all Indo-Australian. Type: breviuscula Wkr. 
N. breviuscula Wkr. (36 d) is most variable and has received many names which, however, are syno¬ 
nymous according to Hampson: valida Wkr., rudis Wkr., xyloglypta Lucas, floccifera Hmps. Forewing pale 
brownish ochreous. A dark brown spot at the inner margin behind the exterior line. Interior line whitish, mostly 
indiscernible, only indicated by a white dot at the inner margin. A dark dot traceable at the cross-vein. Exterior 
line light, very far outward as far as vein 6, then inward as far as vein 2 and vertically to the inner margin. 
Somewhat darker at the middle of the distal margin. Hindwing brownish white. — 8 forms belong to this species. 
1. Forewing more intensely marked brown and white. — 2. Forewing uniformly brownish ochreous without the 
dark anal spot. — 3. Forewing with dark brown radial stripes through the cell and above the inner margin. - 
4. Forewing with an intense spot at the cross-vein. — Forewing with a dark spot at the middle of the costal 
margin. — 6. nigridisca Hmps. Forewing dark, except at the inner margin as far as the exterior line and behind 
the cell as far as the margin. The specimen figured, determined to be nigridisca by Hampsoist, does not match 
well with this form nor with the other forms. — 7. teleoleuca E. Prout (36 d). Like nigridisca, but the darkening 
begins only behind the middle and is somewhat indistinct. — 8. The whole forewing dark, except at the inner 
margin. — 9. Forewing with a broad brown band at the inner margin. — 20—24 mm. India, Ceylon, Tonkin, 
Borneo, New Guinea, Queensland. Everywhere common. 
N. brunnea Hmps. (36 d). Forewing pale reddish brown, often darker as far as the middle. Interior line 
white, far towards the centre, strongly extra-angular below the costal margin and in the submedian fold, in¬ 
ward in the cell and at vein 1. Traces of a streak at the cross-vein. Exterior line dark, downward below the 
costal margin and far outward as far as vein 6, then white, parallel to the margin. Darker at the anal angle, 
beside it traces of a white submarginal line. Hindwing pale reddish brown. $ 24 mm. Assam, Borneo, New 
Guinea. 
The following species are without a hair-pencil on the hindwing of the + 
N. albisecta Hmps. (36 a), as the name indicates, is remarkable for its white radial stripe through the 
cell to the apex. Forewing pale olive green, somewhat more reddish at the inner margin near the base, as well 
as below the middle of the distal margin. The white line is edged with black below. The median and exterior 
lines white, sharply extra-angular towards the radial line, sharply inward as far as vein 1. A small white spot 
at the middle of the distal margin. Hindwing brownish white. 20 mm. India, Ceylon, Tonkin, Sumbawa. 
N. vittalis Wkr. (36 a). Forewing whitish and pale olive green at the costal margin as far as vein 6, red¬ 
dish brown below it, whitish again below vein l with a black spot in the middle there. Interior and exterior 
lines of dark dots, sharply outward, similar to albisecta. Submarginal line indicated by the interior brown edge. 
Hindwing brownish. $ 24 mm. Borneo. Apparently no more found since 1866. 
N. basalis Mr. Forewing greyish olive, blackish at the costal margin at the base. Median line white, 
extra-angular below the costal margin and in the submedian fold, otherwise somewhat inward. A black dot at.
