REVISION OF GENUS MASALIA 5i and in the female, on the difference in form of the papilla analis, simple in M. hololeuca and modified in M. flaviceps. The type-series of this species comprised three males, two from India and one from Ethiopia. The Ethiopian male is in fact a specimen of M. flaviceps, and the second Indian male is lost.

Masalia radiata Moore (Text-figs 58-61; PI. 4, figs 154-158) Masalia radiata Moore, 1881 : 364. M. radiata, though showing variability in colour, is marked similarly to other species within the group. Two subspecies are recognized, the nominate subspecies, a small brown moth from northern India and M. r. terracotta, larger, light to reddish brown, from central and southern India, west Bengal and Sikkim. Within the radiata-gvoup, radiata can be separated from all but one species, flavistrigata, on differences in structure of the female genitalia. In radiata the papilla analis is modified; in rubristria, beatrix and epimethea, simple. In roseivena and rosacea, which have modified papilla anali, terminal spines are present, but these are lacking in radiata. Though the relationship between radiata and flavistrigata is probably no closer than between radiata and any other species in the group, no single character common to both subspecies has been found to separate radiata from Fig. 57.
