6. Genus: I>asorgyia Stgr. 
In Vol. 2, p. 120 it was stated that the species were unknown to the author and no reliable descrip¬ 
tion had been published. From the illustrations on pi. 22 b one can see that there is not the least similarity 
with Dasychira. On the other hand Org. dubia is fairly similar and remotely like it is also Lachana ladakenssi 
Moore (pi. 19 a) from Ladak and Kashmir. With the latter the slender long-haired body and the short palpi 
correspond. The antennae on the other hand are very long and with much shorter pectinations than 
in Dasychira. There appears to be only one pair of spurs at extremity of the weak and long-haired hind 
tibiae. On forewings veins 2 and 3 are widely separate, 4 -j- 5 with short stalks, 6 from somewhat below 
angle of cell, 7 and 8+9 somewhat separate from the apex of the accessory cell, 10 from %rds of its 
costal wall. On hindwings vein 2 arises very far back, 3 and 4 from the same point, 5 somewhat above 
same, 6+7 with short stalks, 8 at + 3 rd of length of cell conjoined with same by a bar. 
7. Genus: Aroa Wkr. 
A. postfusca sp. n. (8 d). Forewings somewhat similar to substrigosa Wkr. dealt with in Vol. 2, p. 121, yostjusca. 
pi. 19 h, but slightly darker. Hindwings black-brown over their entire surface, not only at margin as in pyr- 
rhochroma Wkr. (Vol. 2, pi. 19 i), however excepting the fringes, which are approximately as forewings. Under¬ 
side of the same colour with dark shades only in apical area and at margin of forewings. Antennae and ab¬ 
domen black-brown, thorax as fore wings, 8 32 mm. Yunnansen, 2150 m. Type in the British Museum. 
8. Genus: Cifima Wkr. 
C. locuples Wkr. In Vol. 2 the form illustrated was the one that is chiefly distributed in India and 
which only reaches palaeartic territory in Central China; we are now illustrating the more northerly form 
confusa Brem. (8 b) according to a J from Mandchuria and a $ from the Amur. confusa. 
10. Genus: Arctornis Germ. 
A. l-nigrum Mull. (Vol. 2, p. 123, pi. 20 a). In costa-nigra Lamb, costa and outermargin of forewings costa- 
especially at apex are dusted with black. This is said to be “a very nice aberration ’ occurring in both sexes. 
The 2nd" generation in the Tyrol is named pusillata Dhl, it is somewhat smaller. There are no other dif- yusillata. 
ferences and the chiefly remarkable feature, viz: that there is a 2nd generation to this otherwise single-brood¬ 
ed insect, is not discernible from the name. — In evanescens Schultz the “L” is entirely absent. 
evanescens. 
A. alba Brem'. (Vol. 2, p. 123, pi. 22 c). A rare form of this species has an ochreous brown streak at 
discocellular nervure of forewings, which however is not very pronounced. According to the original desciipt- 
ion however this is the typical form. Generally there ist a black spot there and this has given occasion 
to create the name nigripunctata Warn. (Vol. 2, pi. 22 e as “alba”). 
nigri¬ 
punctata. 
11. Genus: f^tllpiiotisi Ww. & Humphr. 
S. j lav o sulphur ea Stgr. — In Vol. 2 (pi. 22 d) there was only an illustration of the form cretacea Stgi ■ 
We are now illustrating the typical form from the Alai (8 k). 
S. chichibensis Mats. Forewings silky white with rose sheen in certain light. A cell spot is absent, costa chichi- 
brownish at apex, fringes white. Antennae white with brown pectinations. Head and base of antennae yell¬ 
ow. Otherwise completely white. 32 mm. Honsho. 
S. suigensis Mats. Similar to the previous species, but palpi and vertex orange yellow, lore and suigensis. 
middle tarsi with orange rings. Fore tibiae with the same colour on inside. The spurs of tibiae however 
without the black tips as in chichibensis. 30—32 mm. Corea. 
8. salicis L. (Vol. 2, p. 123, pi. 20 a). neumanni Banderm. has been repeatedly captured near Halle neumanni. 
and it corresponds to E. chrysorrlioae. ab. nigrosignata Banderm. On forewings there is a whole row of black 
spots (about 7 in number) of 1 mm width near the outer margin. On hindwings there is only single spot near 
the apex. 
S. doii Mats. Fore wings pale lemon yellow with silky gloss. Costa and outer margin slightly darker, doii. 
Hindwings white, silky and devoid of markings. $ 48 mm. Hokkaido. 
S. surtur O. B.-H. is somewhat similar to sartus Ersch. (Vol. 2, p. 124, pi. 21 d) but differs by the surtur. 
uniform dark colour on upper and undersides, similar to Ocn. detrita (Vol. 2, pi. 21 c). Forewings somewhat 
wider, antennae more boldly pectinated than in sartus. $ 39 mm. Juldus.
