the cross-vein. Exterior line black, of erect scales, somewhat white outside, almost straight from the middle 
of the costal margin to + inner margin, cutting off the dark area. Behind it faint dark spots at the costal margin 
and in the middle. Traces of a dark submarginal line. Hindwing light brown. — - viteana Strd. Forewing whitish 
behind the interior line and before the exterior line. — 20—25 mm. India, Ceylon. Burma, Queensland. 
12. Genus: Clliloetliripa Hmps. 
The second palpal joint very thick, the third long and thick. Forewing without the areole, but only 
veins 10 + 8 + 9 stalked and vein 7 free. X eviration of hindwing as in Nanaguna. Type: chlorana Hmps. Besides 
another small species. 
Ch. chlorana Hmps. Forewing sap-green, dusted white. A faded dark brown shadow 7 from the base 
through the cell to the middle of the distal margin, extending behind the interior line also to the costal margin. 
Interior line fine,.white, straight, oblique as far as vein 1, then vertical. Black dots in the centre of the cell 
and at the cross-vein. Exterior line also finely white, straightly outward as far as vein 6, then notched inward, 
extra-angular again at vein 2. Submarginal line white, notched, inward at vein 4, then vertical. Somewhat red- 
brown in the apical area and at the anal angle. Hindwing dark brown. 22 mm. Sikkim, Assam. 
Ch. leucocephala E. Prout. Forewing greenish white, partly greenish browm, so that only the costal 
margin remains whitish. The lines purely white. Interior line oblique from the costal margin near the base, 
bent over in the submedian fold, inward. Exterior line from % costal margin horizontally to the small black 
spot past the cross-vein and obliquely outward to the inner margin. 4 large white spots behind it at the costal 
margin. From the last the submarginal line proceeds, vertically as far as the submedian fold, where it forms 
a white spot, as in chlorana. Hindwing als in chlorana. 1 <+ 22 mm, from Borneo. 
13. Genus: Miifallirf g»a Hmps. 
The second palpal joint is very hairy, the third short. Metathorax and abdomen in front with short 
tufts. Forewing rounded, with a normal neuration. Veins 3 + 4 of hindwing stalked. The genus contains but 
one widely distributed species. 
M. lichenigera Hmps. Forewing greyish green and reddish browm. A diffuse black band in the submedian 
area, often only confined to the middle, ending at the exterior line, or bent dowmward and extending to the 
anal angle. Sometimes there is yet a streak above the inner margin from near the base to the exterior line. In¬ 
terior line very oblique. Erect scales in the cell-end and near the base. Exterior line of erect black scales, very 
oblique from the costal margin to vein 4, incurved below vein 3 as far as below the cell-end, then edged with 
white outside, obliquely to the inner margin. Submarginal line whitish, diffusely bordered wdth dark browm 
inside. — The forewing may also be suffused with dark brown and without the black band: viridisuffusa Strd. 
- On the other hand, the green colouring may also be quite absent and the ground-colour violettish silvery 
grey: argenteopurpurea Strd. — 18—20 mm. Sikkim, Singapore. Queensland, also in West Africa. 
14. Genus: ^arrotliripus Cwri. 
Already in dealing with the African species in Vol. 15, we mentioned the predominance of the number 
of species in the Indo-Australian Region, whereas not a single species occurs in Tropical America. Type: 
revayana Curtis” from Europe. Regarding the genus itself we refer our readers to Vol. 3, p. 389. 
S. virescens Hmps. (31 c). Forewing pale yellowish green. Black spots at the base of the cell before 
the double black interior line which is excurved as far as the middle. Reniform macula small, round, dark red 
erect scales in the middle, with a light ring. Exterior line indistinctly double, excurved as far as vein 4. then 
inward, excurved again above the inner margin. Submarginal line whitish, edged wdth black inside. Hindwing 
pale greyish browm. 24 mm. One couple known from Sikkim. 
S. revayana Scop. (Vol. 3, pi. 53 c). This almost universally distributed species was largely dealt- wdth 
in Vol. 3, p. 290. It occurs also in India. 
S. parvella Wkr. (36 d). Forewing whitish greyish brown. Interior line dark, double, outward as far 
as the submedian fold, then inward. Median line introangular at the lower cell-margin, extra-angular in the cell 
and above the inner margin, wdth a black dot at vein 1. Exterior line double, outward as far as vein 6, then 
indistinctly inward as far as vein 4, and outward again above the inner margin. Submarginal line of dentate 
black spots. Hindwing pale brown. $ 18 mm. Singapore and Java. 
S. symmicta Trnr. (36 e). Forewing somewhat darker than in parvella. Interior line double, oblique 
as far as the submedian fold, where it meets the exterior line which is likewdse double, somew hat excurved below
