Incorrect subsequent spelling. Diagnosis. Characterized by khaki or maroon-brown ground colour, antenna in male pectinate basally and filiform distally, fore- and hindwings with complex patterns of lines, discal cell with a black spot outlined in white, uncus bifid, a dark protuberance on the valva. Female similar to male but antenna filiform and forewing apex slightly falcate. Distribution. Sino-Himalayan Region. Remarks. This genus was established without being placed in a family. Staudinger (1901) included it in Bombycidae , a placement with which Grünberg (1911) and Fletcher & Nye (1982) agreed. We concur and here record two species from China (Map 20). Map 20.
