SUSICA; NAROSA; ARBELAROSA; NATADA ; PHOCODORMA; MACROPLECTRA; IRAGOIDES. By Dr. M. Bering. 203 
7. Genus: Stisica Wkr. 
S. sinensis Wkr. (15 g) can be distinguished from the genuine pallida Wkr. (Vol. 2, p. 342, pi. 49 k) 
which occurs in India (Vol. 10, p. 706), by the more acute apex of forewings. These also are less glossy. 
We are illustrating a specimen from South China, as the illustration in Vol. 2, pi. 49 k is indistinct. The species 
was described from the North of China. 
8b. Genus: \arosa Wkr. 
Differing from Altha by the simple antennae of both sexes and also by veins 6 and 7 of hindwings, 
which are widely separated. 
N. culfa Btlr. Forewings pale rosy brown on upperside; an irregular olive coloured line near base, culta. 
Beyond same is a wide irregular olive oblique discal band and parallel with same nearer the margin a simi¬ 
larly coloured transverse line. An oblique black spot just after the close of cell and above same 1—2 small 
brown streaks. A wide olive transverse band in discal area which becomes indistinct towards the inner margin. 
At margin there is a row of diffusing black dots. Hindwings pale silky brown, marginal line darker. Body 
pale brown. Underside glossy grey-brown, hindwings glossy whitish, a dark crescent at disco-cellular and 
there is an indistinct darker discal and marginal line. Underside of body whitish. V ing expanse 27 mm. 
Japan. (I have not seen a specimen, nor has the generic classification been checked.) 
N. edoensis Kawada. I have not been able to obtain a description of this species. Japan, China. edoensis. 
N. pseudochraeea sp. n. (15 h). Is very similar to ochracea Her. (Vol. 10, p. 675, pi. 86 b) but is decid- pseudoch- 
edly larger, forewings not ochreous brownish, but inclined to be a golden ochreous, the innei trans\erse line 
projects in a white dentation towards the margin on vein 4 and at the tip of same there is a rusty coloured 
dot. The outer transverse line is regularly curved outwards, whilst in ocliracea it bends inwards under the 
costa. Hindwings similarly a paler golden yellow. Head paler than the ochreous body, inclined to pale yel¬ 
lowish. Underside brownish golden yellow, hindwings paler. Wing expanse 18 mm. Chung-kiang, West 
China in August, + type in the Museum at Tring. 
8c. Genus: Arfoelarosa Her. 
In the S the antennae are pectinated at base. In hindwings veins 6 and 7 are separate. General 
appearance reminds one of Arhelulae. 
A. rufotesselata Mr. (Vol. 10, p. 677, pi. 86 c). Forewings ochreous with red transverse bands, which rufotesse- 
are more or less dissolved into spots. At close of cell a bold brown spot. Hindwings and underside red. 
This species which is widely distributed in India and South China penetrates into the palaearctic legion at 
Ta-tsien-lu. 
9. Genus: Natalia Wkr. 
This Genus has no representative in the palaearctic region. The species classified in same in \ ol. 2, 
p. 343 are now placed with the following 3 Genera. 
9a, Genus: Phocodorma Btlr. 
Antennae of shortly bipectinated. Palpi large, laterally impressed, central segment anteriorly with 
tuft of hairs. Hind tibiae with 2 pairs of spurs. In forewings vein 7 on short stalk with 8 + 9, 10 widely 
separated, 11 straight. In hindwings 6 + 7 on a stalk, 8 fusing near base with upper edge of cell and with 
a small nervule to costa. 
P. velutinum Kail. (Vol. 2, p. 343, pi. 50 a and Vol. 10, p. 720, pi. 90 a). 
9b. Genus: Macro plectra Hmps. 
Palpi long and porrect, not laterally compressed. Antennae of $ with long bipectinations; in fore wings 
vein 10 generally on a stalk with 8 + 9, 7 separated and fiee. 
M. nararia Mr. (Vol. 2, p. 343, pi. 50 a and Vol. 10, p. 716, pi. 89f). 
9c. Genus: Iragoides Her. 
Antennae of S with a single row of short pectinations, the 2nd being rudimentary. Palpi short and 
porrect. In forewings vein 7 on a stalk with 8 + 9, 10 with the stalk from one point. On hindwings 6 + 7 on 
a stalk, 8 anastomosing with the upper edge of cell near the base.
