I doubt whether Thalassodes pilaria Gn., from Tahiti, is really- 

 identical.

Palpi in ^ H, terminal joint ^. Differs from T. quadraria in 

 the green face and green upper surface of palpi. Otherwise 

 they seem almost indistinguishable. My examples are also 

 slightly larger; the postmedian line of forewings is also more 

 distinct, straighter, less wavy, the terminal process of posterior 

 tibife of (J is rather longer, and there is a tine interrupted median 

 dorsal line on abdomen, but I cannot be sure that these 

 differences are constant.

 Java, Ceylon, and India.
