GNAMPTONYX; HYPOGLAUCITIS; CLYTIE; PERICYMA. By M. Gaede. 
43. Genus: Onainptonyx Hmps. 
In the illustration the typical species vilis Wkr. somewhat resembles the Genus Cerocala. Foretibiae 
are short and have a long claw inwards and a short one outwards. 
G. vilis Wkr. The species is widely distributed over Africa and India and is dealt with in Vol. 15. p. 253 vilis. 
and illustrated on pi. 30 f. 
44. Genus : Hypoglaucitls Stdgr. 
Palpi similar to those of Gnamptonyx. A small tuft on frons. Central and hind tibiae with spurs. Type: 
benenotata Warr. and one other species. 
H. benenotata Warr. This was described from India and also occurs in Syria and X. Africa and is dealt benenotata. 
with in Vol. 3. p. 336, pi. 62 a. 
H. infrequens Swh. (55 f). Very poorly marked. Forewings pale grey-brown, reniform stigma with infrequens. 
delicate brown outline, an undulate submarginal line is indicated. Hind wings pale reddish broAvn, witli indistinct 
dark submarginal shade. 26 mm. One $ from Karachi. 
45. Genus: Clytie Hbn. 
Theoretically this Genus scarcely varies from the preceding, only the markings are different. Only 
1 species occurs in the indian territory, whilst the Genus is well represented in palaearctic regions. 
C. devia Swh. (55 f) is somewhat similar to the palaearctic species sancta Stcgr. and haifae Hah., which devia. 
are illustrated in Vol. 3, pi. 62 b. Pore wings brownish white. Antemedian line very indistinct, dark, oblique, 
obsolete in cell and near inner margin. Blackish orbicular and claviform stigmata are indicated; reniform stigma 
whitish with black edge. Postmedian line blackish, vertically from costa to vein 6, then somewhat undulate 
straightly inwards. Submarginal line whitish, similarly angulated as in sancta , with dark shaded patches an¬ 
teriorly. Hindwings ochreous brown with dark brown margin containing a pale undulate submarginal band. 
In $ the forewings are pale ochreous brown, on hindwings the margin is paler and thus the submarginal band 
less distinct. 40—45 mm. Beluchistan, Karachi. 
46. Genus: Pericyiua H.-Schaff. 
Varying more greatly from the two preceding Genera. Palpi are somewhat more upturned. Thorax 
and abdomen with small tufts. Foretibiae of widely hairy, only central tibiae with spurs. Type: a I bi dent aria 
Frr. The species are about equally divided between the indian and african territories, 3 species are found on 
the boundary of the palaearctic zone. 
1. Antennae of S bipectinate. Central tibiae with a brush of hairs. 
P. albidens Wkr. Forewings reddish brown, darker in basal area. Antemedian line black, double, un- albidens. 
dulate. Central area with traces of 3 undulate double lines, the third excurved behind the cell. Reniform stigma 
indicated by traces of a black outline, constricted in centre. Postmedian line angulated outwards at vein 6 and 
4, dentate, a black spot anteriorly on submedian fold. Submarginal line whitish with brown edges on both 
sides and with a black spot in centre outwardly. Hindwings somewhat paler, reddish brown at margin, excepting 
the apex, distallv of centre a few dark lines. The $ is greyer, the lines in median area more distinct, reniform 
stigma with a black inner and outer spot, the spot on submedian fold indistinct. The lines on hindwing more 
distinct. — pseudoalbidens $ Strcl. is more reddish brown and more closely resembles the <$. 26—28 mm. pseudoalbi- 
Sikkim, Madras. den 
2. Antennae of $ fasciculate. Tibiae heavily hairy. 
P. cruegeri Btlr. (55 f). Forewings red-yellow. Close to the base a wide dark brown band. Antemedian cruegeri. 
line black, obliquely inwards. Median area with 4 fine double red-brown undulate lines with white interfilling. 
The first 3 obliquely inwards, the fourth excurved behind the cell. Reniform with incomplete white outline. 
The black postmedian line parallel to the others, similarly an indistinct brown line. Submarginal line faint, 
pale with brown edge on both sides. Hindwings grey-red, with several double dark lines. The 9 has forewings 
that are red-brown to beyond the postmedian line. — albomarginata <3 Strcl. The basal band has a white outer albomargi- 
edge, as also has a brown spot on costa near apex. — viridifusca $ Strcl. Forewings are dark greenish brown 
from antemedian to beyond postmedian lines. 45—50 mm. Siam, Tonkin, Borneo, Australia. — A series bred 
in New Guinea produced various forms apart from the type and among these there was one $ in the colouration 
of the $. — albilinea $ Hulst. This has a white line near base, also the submarginal line is white, the entire albilinea. 
wing is dark except at base and at margin. alba S Hulst. (55 g). White to beyond the postmedian line, only alba.
