446 ACACHMENA; ACRIPIODES; CHURIA; TORTRICIFORMA. By M. Gaede. 
43. Genus: Acncliiiieiia Trnr. 
The Genus consists of a single wide winged species, that varies completely from Tympanistes. Palpi 
very short, the 2nd segment densely hairy, the 3rd only small. Antennae of $ ciliate. Thorax with small 
tuft posteriorly. Neuration of forewings normal. On hindwings vein 3 and 4 from lower angle of cell. Vein 5 
somewhat higher. 
A. oenocrossa Trnr. (43 e). Forewings brownish white, red at costa and inner margin. Traces of a 
curved antemedian line and an undulate median line, excurved below costa. Postmedian line excurved below 
costa and in centre. A row of dark submarginal spots is indicated. Fringes brilliant red. Hindwings brownish 
white. 20 mm. One $ from Queensland. 
44. Genus: Aeripiodes Strd. 
Similar to the african Genus Acripia (Vol. XV, p. 195). Palpi somewhat shorter. Forewings more 
elongate, the angulation at vein 4 at margin less prominent. Vein 8 + 9 with shorter stalk. On hindwings 
vein 3 + 4 with short stalk. Vein 5 curved. Only one species. 
A. trimacula Strd. Forewings reddish roe coloured with violet suffusion, only 3 darker, obsolete narrow 
bands. The first from % of costa inwards, the second from centre of costa to behind centre of inner margin, 
the third near outer margin. The 2nd and 3rd bands are separated more widely anteriorly and rather more 
heavily marked there. Stigmata distinct, dark green and with white surrounds. Orbicular stigma small, clavi- 
form stigma round, larger, reniform stigma narrow. Hindwings pale reddish brown. 28 mm. One q from Formosa. 
45. Genus: Churia Mr. 
Palpi long and upright, relatively stout, the 3rd segment long. Antennae of $ ciliate. Forewings of 
the same contour as Gelastocera. Neuration of both wings normal. Type: nigrisigna Mr. All 3 species from India. 
Ch. ocellata Btlr. (43 e). Forewings grey-brown with reddish tone and with fine black striations. Ante- 
median line proceeding from a small black spot, fine, undulate, slightly curved to inner margin. A large black 
spot at disco-cellular. Postmedian line also emanating from a small spot on costa, proceeding closely around 
the black spot in a curve to vein 4, thence vertically, slightly impressed and somewhat angulated at vein 1. 
Submarginal line punctiform. Hindwings rather paler than forewings. 28—32 mm. India. 
Ch. maculata Mr. Forewings pale grey-brown, delicate brown striations on costa. Markings consist 
of a few black dots, of which there is one on disco-cellular and 3 submarginal. Hindwings pale brown, 
costalis Strd. is heavily dusted with black on costa of forewings. A spot in cell and a white central spot on 
disco-cellular. 24—26 mm. India, Ceylon. 
Ch. nigrisigna Mr. (= ochracea Mr.) (42 i). Body and wings ochreous brownish, with distinct black 
spot at disco-cellular on forewings. Hindwings somewhat paler, ochracea Mr. differs solely by the absence 
of the black spot. 22—26 mm. Calcutta. 
46. Genus: Tortriciforma Hmps. 
This differs by the strange shape of the wings. Palpi long and attenuate, oblicpiely erect. Central tibiae 
anteriorly with long hairs. Forewings impressed behind the centre of costa, at apex, angulated at margin 
at vein 6 and 3. Vein 10 + 8 + 9 stalked. Hindwing of $ with a lobe at anal angle. Type: viridipuncta 
Hmps., besides there are 2 further indian species. 
T. chloroplaga Hmps. (43 e). Forewings ochre-yellowish, base and marginal area greenish, a short 
fiery red streak at base on inner margin. A dark green spot angulated outwards below costa, then vertically, 
diffuse, in place of an antemedian line. A black spot at disco-cellular, below which on inner margin a short 
brownish median band. Outer line arises from a triangular dark green spot, beyond which it is very indistinct. 
Submarginal line strongly dentate, consisting of dark spots. Hindwings yellowish white, fiery red at inner 
margin, 2 reddish brown narrow bands before the outer margin. 24 mm. One $ from Malacca. 
T. viridipuncta Hmps. (43 e). Fore wings lilac-grey, darker in centre of inner margin. Antemedian 
band dark green, with delicate white edge, excurved to centre, then vertically. A black dot at disco-cellular. 
An oblique green lunule with white edge, anterior to the green postmedian line, that is incurved below vein 4. Sub¬ 
marginal line indistinct, undulate, dark, with white spot distally below costa, parallel to outer margin. Hindwings 
white. In $ both wings are orange-red, except on costa of forewings, hindwings deeper red in apical area, 
pale lilac-grey at inner margin. 22—28 mm. Sikkim, Assam. 
T. perviridis E. Front. Forewings mossy green with delicate paler postmedian and submarginal lines 
with dark brown edges and dentate brown spots. A small reddish spot below base of cell, behind which there is an
