base, one oval touching costa at j, one semioval on middle of 
dorsum, and two elongate discal and subdorsal posteriorly : cilia 
grey. Hindwings blackish ; some irregular yellow markings at 
base, a small subterminal spot below middle, and an elongate 
suffused spot on costa posteriorly : cilia grey. 
Sumatra ; 1 ex. (Coll. Paravicini). The type-specimen is said to 
be from the Nicobar Islands. 
Melodryas doris Meyr, 
The two original examples were described as $ , but are really 
<3 ; a r § siuce seen from liendova (Coll. Paravicini) is larger, 
23 mm., and has the hindwings entirely blackish, without orange 
band, but with the dorsal cilia and abdominal band orange as in . 
Other $ s seen are as the original types. 
Anaphantis zonotorna Meyr. 
This species was described as a Melodryas , but I have seen 
further material from the same locality, and if must be transferred 
to Anaphantis; veins 3 and 4 of hindwings are separate, but the 
definition of Anaphantis must be enlarged to include this ; a tongue 
is wall-developed, and vein 3 of forewings is present. 
ASTOXENA, n. g. 
Head loosely rough-scaled, face with appressed scales; ocelli 
posterior; tongue absent. Antennae |, <5 moderately and evenly 
ciliated, scape moderate, thickened with dense rough projecting 
scales anteriorly. Labial palpi moderate, curved, ascending, second 
joint thickened with scales, slightly rough anteriorly, terminal 
joint about half second, moderate, pointed. Maxillary palpi rudi¬ 
mentary. Anterior tibiae and basal joint of tarsi short, much 
expanded with long roughly projecting hairscales, middle tibiae 
rough-haired above (posterior legs missing). Forewings 2 and 3 
long-stalked from angle, 8 and 9 out of 7, 7 to termen, 11 from 
middle. Hindwings 1, trapezoidal-ovate, cilia | ; 3 and 4 short- 
stalked, 5-7 parallel. 
Allied to Mieza, but differing in so many points of structure that 
it cannot be included with it. 
Astoxena clotho, n. sp. 
3 . 25 mm. Head, thorax white. Palpi rosy-ochreous, tip of 
second joint whitish. Abdomen light pinkish-ochreous. Fore¬ 
wings moderate, slightly dilated, costa anteriorly slightly, pos¬ 
teriorly gently arched, apex obtuse, termen rather obliquely 
rounded; white, some scattered pale pinkish-ochreous scales 
towards costa, costal edge rosy-ochreous towards base ; a greyish 
streak irrorated ferruginous-brown from base of costa through 
middle of disc, interrupted before middle, to lower angle of cell, an 
indistinct grey line from this before interruption obliquely inwards 
towards dorsum ; a cloudy spot of ferruginous-brownish irroration
