be the discal fold; veins 3, 4 and 5 together from the lower angle of cell, 7 arises from upper angle of cell, 8 from 
the tip of the appendicular cell from which also 9 and 10 arise stalked. On hindwings 3, 4 and 5 arise from 
the lower angle of cell, G and 7 from the upper angle. The neuration therefore more or less agrees with that 
of the Genus: Weslermannia Hbn., which is widely distributed over the indo-australian and african territories. 
There is the possibility that the description of the neuration is not quite precise and that Aneureta is quite 
identical. Besides this Westermannia superba Him. certainly also occurs on palaearctic territory, as a large 
number have been captured at West Tien-mu-shan and are in the collection of Hoene. 
A. eureka Trti. Forewings dark yellow, about as in Aethia emortualis Schiff., with 2 somewhat paler eureka. 
undulate transverse lines, that enclose an approximately trapeziform central area. This is wide at costa and 
very narrow at inner margin and in it is contained a small brownish discal dot. Hindwings brownish yellow, 
devoid of markings and with fringes of the same shade. Abdomen whitish with a brown tuft on first segment.

The latter merges with the postmedian at inner margin. Hindwings also paler than in type. From Malatia.

To be classified between Zanclognatlm and Herminia; very closely related to the neotropic Genus: 
Ocalaria Schs. Proboscis developed, frons smooth; palpi sickle-shaped, curved upwards, the 2nd segment 
4 times as long as the head, the terminal segment sleek, the tip pointed, half as long as 2nd segment and laterally 
flattened with densely, closely appressed scales. antennae with prolix double pectinations of considerable 
length, having also rows of delicately fine long cilia. In $ antennae are simple. On forewings veins 3, 4 and 5 
arise separately at equal distances, 6 arises just below the upper angle of cell. 7 from the end of the narrow 
appendicular cell, similarly 8 and 9 on a common long stalk, 10 from the upper outer third. On hindwings 
3 and 4 arise from lower angle of cell, 5 below the centre, 6 and 7 from upper angle. Only one species:
