1. Genus: STeopryeria Mats. 
Differing from Pry evict Mr. by the almost naked abdomen, which has 2 upright tufts of hair on each 
side of the last segment. 
N. jezoensis Mats. (1 a) <$, head and thorax black, antennae dark brown, the shaft slightly glossy, head 
and tegulae sparsely haired with dark brown, scapulae golden yellow. Thorax glossy with a few hairs on the 
3rd thoracic segment. Wings almost like Pryeria sinica. Abdomen pale vermilion red with 5 somewhat darker 
longitudinal streaks, a few gold-yellow hairs along the anterior half of each segment, a black spot on the posterior 
part of the stigmata, a tuft of hair on the last black segment. Legs brown with brown hairs. — Hokkaido 
(Sapporo) — Mount Moiva — in September. 
2. Genus: I>ieida Strd. 
Proboscis not visible, either quite absent or rudimentary. Palpi thin, short, pointed, porrected, with 
fairly long erect hairs beneath. C'lypeus densely covered with hair scales and therefore appearing conically 
truncate. Antennae pectinated overall fairly equally long and up to the tip. Pectinations thickened at the ends, 
sparsely haired throughout and finely separated. Legs short and weak; hind tibiae without middle spur but 
with short end spur, front tibiae with middle spur but without end spur. Claws with a blunt protuberance at 
base, but without a prong. Body sparsely haired. The scant scaling of the wings, which for the greater part 
are hyaline, is coarse and consists partly of long hair-like scales. Frenulum is present. Vein 1 c present on both 
wings. On forewings vein No. 5 is closer to vein 4 than to vein 6, no areola, the cell is narrow in the basal half 
as in Pryeria , but the subcostal and median do not touch, the costal is not conjoined distally by veins with the 
margin. The cell of ail wings intersected. Hindwings with only 7 veins (No. 6 missing), costal merges with the 
cell immediately at base, discocellular weakly developed and deeply angulate, the anterior corner does not 
project, more than the posterior corner as in Pryeria, rather the reverse. Discocellular of forewings approxi¬ 
mately rectangularly interrupted,*apex slightly elongated, margin oblique, curved and considerably longer than 
hindmargin. Hindwings not much more than half as long as forewings. Abdomen long and thin, extending 
far beyond the hindwings. 
D. persa Strd. Wing expanse 26 mm. The hyaline forewings have golden yellow hairy scaling in the 
basal area and on hindmargin and costa, scarcely reaching to the apex and which is somewhat darker in the 
apical half of the costal band than at base. Veins sparsely dusted with black in the hyaline area. Fringes black. 
Hindwings as forewings. Body black, head, collar and back of thorax with golden yellow hairs; abdomen with 
5—6 narrow, golden yellow, partly indistinctly separated transverse bands of hairs. Legs black with yellow 
tibiae and tarsi. Antennae and their pectinations black, palpi golden yellow. Persia. 
3. Genus: I*seu€lopsyche Oberth. 
F. endoxantha Puny. (1 a). $. Wings semi-transparent, sparsely dusted with black, veins blackish, 
marginal line blackish, fairly heavy, fringes black-grey. Fore wings narrow and elongated with oblique margin, 
fairly heavily scaled with bright yellow to the middle of the cell, then darkly dusted in band formation; hindwings 
sparsely dusted with yellow in basal area, inner margin dark, anal angle rounded not projecting. Underside 
paler than upperside, faintly dusted overall with yellow. Body a lively yellow with long hairs, palpi dark with 
long hairs, antennae thin and serrated, yellowish, pectus dark. Legs yellowish, abdomen short. Probably 
belongs to a new Genus, which however cannot be definitely ascertained until we have knowledge of the (J. 
Amur territory, Kasakewitsch. At end of May. The specimen illustrated is from the Berlin Museum. 
B. Subfamily Chalcosiinae. 
4. Genus: Aglaope Latr. 
A. labasi Oberth. (1 a) entirely different from infausta by the rose border close to the margin of the 
forewings and the extension of the rose colour on the hindwings, so that only a narrow blackish border is left. 
The apex of hindwings has a heavier black margin towards the costa. Body and antennae black with red collar. 
Head of S black, in the $ there is a tuft of carmine red hairs between the eyes. Antennae of $ serrated, of $ 
setiform. Djebel Tisdadine, Morocco at an altitude of 2400 m in July. It was found in fairly considerable 
quantities near the peak of the mountain. Illustration according to Oberthur.
