The male of gremius has been redescribed by Moore as subgrisea. Confined to Southern Asia. 7. Genus ACLEROS. Acleros, Mab. Lep. Mad. i. p. 347 (1887). Type, leucopyya, Mab. Closely allied to Suastus, with which it agrees in antennse and palpi; it differs, however, considerably in neuration, vein 2 of the fore wing being nearer to the end of the cell than to the base of the wing. In the hind wing also the cell is longer, and vein 3 is well before the end of the cell instead of immediately before, as in Suastus. No secondary sexual characters in the male. Two unidentified species from West Africa. 8. Genus IAMBRIX, nov. (Plate III. fig. 25.) Type, salsala, Moore. Antennse rather short; club moderate, gradually thickened, bent at rather more than a right angle ; terminal portion short. Palpi: second joint densely clothed ; third joint long, naked, slender, and erect. Wings short and broad ; cell short; middle and lower discocellulars in the same straight line; vein 5 only slightly nearer to 4 than to 6 ; vein 3 very close to end of cell; vein 2 nearer to end of cell than to base of wing. Hind wing: vein 3 from end of cell ; vein 7 from before end of cell; vein 5 wanting ; discocellulars barely traceable. Hind tibise with two pairs of spurs. No secondary sexual characters in male. salsala, Moore 1. *stellifer, Butler 2. sindu, Felder 3. Stellifer is quite distinct from salsala, with which it has been said to be synonymous. It is smaller and darker, and is entirely without the golden yellow scales on the upperside which are characteristic of salsala. It is apparently confined to Malacca and Burmah, the specimens recorded from various parts of India being an unmarked and not uncommon variety of salsala. Confined to Southern Asia. 9. Genus KORUTHAIALOS, nov. (Plate II. fig. 8.) Type, hector, Watson. Antennse moderate, club hardly thicker than shaft. Palpi similar |
