dots. Hindwings whitish grey with rosy hue. Underside of forewings rose, whitish towards inner margin. 
Hindwings whitish, rose at costa and margin. Wing expanse 30 mm. Hondo, Japan in July. (I have no 
specimen before me, the generic classification has not been checked.) 
4. Genus: Plirixolepia Btlr. 
P. nobilis Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 341, pi. 49 k) has been removed by Matsumura from this Genus and 
placed in the following. 
4a. Genus: Iragaodes Mats. 
Palpi upcurved, 3rd segment half as long as the 2nd, touching the vertex. Antennae merely ciliate. 
Forewings more truncate than preceding Genus, vein 6 arises below the upper angle of cell, 7 from a point 
with 8 + 9 from a small accessory cell. In hindwings 8 anastomoses with the upper edge of cell to abt. 
y 3 rd of cell, 3 and 4 are separate. Although I have not a specimen of the species before me, I feel inclined 
to agree with Kawada, that the Genus belongs to the Noctuidae and this especially as in the related Genera, 
there never is an accessory cell. Genero-type: I nobilis Stgr. A further species is described from Formosa. 
4b. Genus: Oxyplax Hmps. 
Antennae of bipectinated to the tip. Palpi of medium length, porrect, hind tibiae with 2 long pairs 
of spurs. In forewings 10 is stalked with 8 + 9, 7 is separate, in hindwings 6 + 7 are stalked, 8 conjoined 
with upper edge of cell at yjrd of its length. 
0. ochracea Mr. Described in Vol. 10, p. 719, pi. 89 i. The pale ochreous brown forewing has an 
oblique black central and white discal line, marginal area blackish grey. It is widely distributed over the indo- 
malayan territory and penetrates into the palaearctic zone at Shanghai. 
5. Genus: CloeSilidion Hbn. 
O. codeti Oberth. (Vol. 2, p. 341, pi. 50 a) is not confined to north Africa. I have before me 3 speci¬ 
mens from Lusitania. 
C. creticum Bid. (15 h). Comes between limacodes and codeti, forewings generally devoid of markings, 
differing from limacodes by its paler colouration and ochreous fringes which are brownish at the tips. It dif¬ 
fers from codeti by its grey hindwings. Wing expanse 24 mm. Crete in June. 
6. Genus: Heterogeitea Knock. 
H, obliqua Leech. Forewings dull buff bestrewn with brown scales. A straight dark brown line extends 
from apex to near the base of inner margin, a more narrow dark brown submarginal line is present. Hind¬ 
wings dark grey with silky gloss. Head and thorax dull buff, abdomen darker. Underside yellowish with 
darker mottlings. Wing expanse 30 mm. Chang-yang, Central China. (I have not seen a specimen and the 
generic classification has not been checked.) 
H. uncula Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 342, pi. 49 k) is placed by Kawada to the following Genus. 
6a. Genus: Microcam jia Kawada. 
In contrast to the previous Genus, hind tibiae with 2 pairs of spurs; on forewings 7—10 in the se¬ 
quence 10, 7, 8 + 9 on a stalk, 11 fairly straight; on hindwings 6 and 7 widely separate, 8 further removed 
from cell than in former Genus. Genero-type: M. uncula Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 342, pi. 49 k). 
M. uncula Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 342, pi. 49 k). I have specimens before me from the Ussuri region. 
M. fulgens Leech (Vol. 2, p. 342, pi. 50 a). This is held by Kawada to be a genuine species. 
M. suzukii Mats. Body whitish, forewings white clouded with dark yellow, base, antemedian, median 
and postmedian lines remain paler, all slightly undulate above the inner margin, in centre of wings two 
large black spots in place of the band of uncula. Hindwings unicoloured dark grey, fringes of both wings 
yellowish. Underside of forewings grey, margins of the entire hindwing pale yellowish. Wing expanse 
20 mm. Japan. 
M. coreana Mats. Differing from the previous species in that the forewings are suffused with black¬ 
ish on outer side of close of cell. There are various darker black patches in and below same. The ante- 
median and median lines are wider, only traces of the postmedian lines retained. A smaller species of 15 mm 
expanse. Corea.
