450 NEGETA; LOBOCRASPISARCYOPHORA. By M. Gaede. 
in median area of wing are denominated — discalis Strd. — costalis Strd. has the white apical spot scaled with 
dark brown. 20—25 mm. India, Ceylon to the Philippines and Australia. 
N. soliera Swh. (31 i). Forewings brownish red with lilac sheen, yellowish in basal area. Antemedian 
line indicated by a few dark dots. At disco-cellular, as in the preceding species, a black and a white spot. 
Outer line proceeding from a very small white triangle near the apex, in a straight line to centre of inner 
margin, with white dots, outlined by the darker basal area. Marginal area greyer. Hindwings grey-brown, 
darker at margin. 24—26 mm. Sikkim, Assam. 
N. straminea Hmps. (43 a). Forewings more extensively ochreous than in soliera. From below the 
centre of costa a diffuse dark brown spot, beyond which there is a paler patch, whilst below it is diffusedly 
reddish brown and narrowly dark immediately on margin. Hindwings ochreous brownish, darker at margin. 
22 mm. Madras. Except for the type no specimen of this species seems to have been captured since 1890. 
N. abbreviata Wkr. (43 a). Differently marked and coloured to the preceding. Forewings ochreous 
yellow and somewhat brownish. Markings brown and indistinct. Antemedian line curved, postmedian outwards 
to beyond the cell. Submarginal line indicated by a few dots, reniform by a dark streak on inner and outer edges. 
Hindwings brownish white. <$ 24 mm. The type is the only specimen that is known to exist and it was cap¬ 
tured in 1862. 
N. olivaria Warr. Forewings pale olive-brown with distincter markings except at inner margin. The 
lines are dark olive-brown. All three proceed first outwards, then in an obtuse curve inwards. The space 
between the outer and the submarginal lines is dusted with white. A few white lines between the veins at 
margin. On disco-cellular a dark brown and a white spot. Hindwings pale olive-brown. Sikkim. 
52. Genus : WJer. 
Palpi as in the previous Genus, also the contour of the wings is similar, but the neuration is different. 
Forewings with normal accessory cell, on hindwings vein 4 and 5 arise together, 3 somewhat before the angle. 
Type: contrariata Wkr. from Indo-Australia, where 3 species occur, by far the most species of this Genus 
are african. 
N. chlorocrota Hmps (43 b). Somewhat more variegated than the other species. Forewings yellowish 
white. A black streak in the cell from the base to the outer line, below this somewhat lilac-grey and similarly 
above the streak posterior to the cell. At upper edge of cell olive-grey to beyond the outer line. An oblique 
olive-grey-green median line is indicated below the cell. Hindwings pale ochreous-yellowish, browner at the 
margin. 26 mm. Bombay, Ceylon. 
N. contrariata Wkr. (= dentilinealis Mr.). Forewings almost white only faintly dusted with brown. 
A brown spot at the upper angle of cell. Postmedian line brown, somewhat undulate from apex to vein 2, 
then incurved and rather more vertical to inner margin. A dark very delicate submarginal line, which is 
generally scarcely discernible. Hindwings brownish, paler at base. 20—26 mm. Andamans and Borneo. - 
novaguineensis Strd. (= tamsi van Eecke ) (31 i) from New Guinea is still paler on both wings. 
N. sublineata Wkr. (= leucophaea Wkr., albescens Mr.) (31 i). Closely resembling the previous species 
in colouration. Postmedian line olive-bi’own, slightly curved from apex without undulations to the inner 
margin close to the base. Black cell spot and submarginal line as in contrariata. Hindwings somewhat darker. 
24—26 mm. India, Burma, Borneo. 
N. abbreviata Warr. Wings more truncate than sublineata, costa somewhat yellowish. The oblique 
apical line is slightly angulated at vein 3, terminating on inner margin rather further from base than in subli¬ 
neata, it is edged delicately with white and not with yellow. Hindwings dark brown. Hainan. 
53. Genus: Loboeraspis Hmps. 
Reminding on of Plagiograpta by the elongate contour of wings. Palpi shorter; neuration of forewings 
similar, only vein 3 further removed from 4. On hindwings vein 8 anastomoses for a considerable distance 
with the cell, but veins 3, 4, and 5 are widely separate from one another. Only one species. 
L. griseifusa Hmps. (43 f). Forewings reddish ochreous brown, dark grey-brown below the cell and vein 4. 
Below the apex are 2 dark spots before the margin. Hindwings dark brown. 40 mm. One $ known from Burma. 
54. Genus: Arcyopliora , Gn. 
Palpi erect, third segment short; antennae of with fascicles of cilia. Forewings short and wide 
with a scaly tooth at inner margin. Neuration of forewings normal, hindwings as in Lobocraspis. Type: longi- 
valvis Gn. from Africa. Only 3 species known from indian territory.
