CERATONEMA; BIETIA; EPIPYROPS; EPIPOMPONIA. By Dr. M. Hering. 
14c. Genus: Ceratonema Hmps. 
(Compare Vol. 10, p. 698. Close to the preceding Genus, but on hindwings veins 3 and 4 arising sepa¬ 
rately from the cell. 
C. sericeum Btlr. (Vol. 2, p. 344). Kawada introduces the name G. butleri Kaw. for this species, which 
seems to be superfluous. The species appears to be very near to the indian C. retractatum Wkr (Vol 10 n 698 
pi. 87 d). ’ 1 ‘ ’ 
C. imitatrix Ihr. Described and illustrated in Vol. 10, p. 699, pi. 87 d. Forewings olive brown, basal 
area grey-black. A dark patch from centre of inner margin obliquely to close of cell and above same a smaller 
inner and a larger outer dark patch. A pale subterminal line that curves outwards, from 3/ 4 ths of costa to 
anal angle At base a silvery white dot. Hindwings blackish. — Reminds one strongly of Heterogenea dentata 
Oberth. (Vol. 2, p. 342, pi. 49 k), especially on account of the silvery spot at base. In the latter however 
vein 7 arises towards the base in the forewing, in this species however it arises towards the base from 10. 
An indian species that however also occurs in China. 
14d. Genus: ISictia Oberth. 
Hind tibiae with long terminal spurs, all legs with long hairs. Palpi short, closely pressed to body. 
Antennae of J bipectmated to centre, then serrate. In forewings vein 6 arises from centre of disco-cellular, 
7 ,Y lth 8 + 9 on a short stalk, 10 with a stalk from a point, 11 straight. In hindwings the hind angle of 
cell projects strongly, 6 + 7 with long stalk, 8 conjoined with costa by a cross vein. Only differing from 
Belippa and Gheromettia by a pair of tibial spurs. 
, B * xanth °P us Oberth. (151). Blackish, legs with pale sulphur-yellow coloured hairs, anal tuft ochreous. 
Wings hyaline, only costa and marginal fringes black, inner margin black to 1 c. Ta-tsien-lu. Very rare. 
We are illustrating the type, the only specimen so far known, in the State Museum at Berlin. 
2. Subfamily: Epipyropinae. 
libial spurs are absent, m fore wing from upper edge of central cell, a branch arises that separates 
an anterior portion of same. The larvae live, as far as is known on Homoptera and feed on their waxy 
secretions. J 
anomala 
scliawerdai. 
1. Genus: I^pipyrops Ww. 
In hindwings veins 7—8 are present, in forewings veins 7 and 8 separate, in hindwings vein 8 free. 
E. anomala Ww. Of brown colouration, dusted with white in places, a row of whitish spots on 
costa of fore wings, that at apex being the largest. Similarly a row of whitish spots on margin. Hindwings 
blackish, fringes whitish. Wing expanse 30 mm. — Larvae on the Cicade Pyrops candelaria, China. 
E. scliawerdai Zerny. I he first Epipyropine found in Europe! Forewings with acute apex, faintly 
glossy, coarsely scaled, grey-black, a few of the scales larger and darker. Underside of all wings’ as the 
upperside, less coarsely scaled. Antennae with short bipectinations. 11 pairs of pectinations. In'forewings 
10 veins arising separately from cell, hindwings with 5 free veins from the cell, vein 8 free. Wing expanse 
11 mm. It occurs at Albarracin in Aragon in August and was captured at light. 
2. Genus: Kpipompoisia Dyar. 
Like the previous Genus, in hindwings vein 8 conjoined with the anterior wall of cell by a connecting vein 
E. tiawai Dyar. Unicoloured black, forewings with irregular rows of metallic blue scales Wing ex¬ 
panse 22 mm. Japan. °
