a. Cricula trifenestrata ceylonica snbsp. nov. 



(?. Clayish ocliraceons : transparent spot of forewing more heavily edged 

 with black than nsually. The process of the penis-funnel (fig. a) sinnate ; 

 snbapioal lobe of clas])er broad. 



?. Tawny ochraceons. The three transparent spots of forewing heavily 

 edged with black, especially on distal side ; upper spot deeply incurved, its 

 lower angle pointed ; very little purplish grey shading on forewing. Antemedian 

 line of hindwing heavy; transparent sjiot with conspicuous black border; 



marginal area purplish grey from anal angle nearly to third radial. On 



underside the transparent spots of both wings more strongly edged with black 

 than in the other races, the spot of hindwing transverse, anal area of both wings 

 densely shaded with purj)lish grey like tlie disc, and this area more sharply 

 defined than usually. Legs red. 



Hab. Ceylon. 



Several specimens in the Tring Museum and the British Museum. 



b. Criodri trifenestrata ayria. snbsp. nov. 



A large form. 



(J. Some specimens mummy-brown, others tawny ochraceons. In the dark 

 (nymotypical) form the black lines prominently edged with grey ; the grey 

 line of the underside heavy in both the dark and light forms ; forewing beneath 

 with tlie black dot in centre of cell absent, occasionally vestigial in dark form ; 

 on hindwing' beneath the costal area more densely scaled with purplish grey 



than the disc. The process of the penis-funnel very broad, truncate, flat, 



faintly depressed in centre of apex (fig. b) ; the two pointed processes of the 

 anal tergite wider apart than usually ; the subapical lobe of the clasper short 

 and broad, sometimes very short. 



?. Only the dark form known to us. Very distinct from all the other 

 geographical races. Body tawny ochraceons ; wings so much shaded with 

 fuscous and grey tliat the ochraceons ground-colour ajijiears only along the 

 costal edge of the forewing, at the costal margin of the hindwing in between 

 the dark lines and sometimes at the abdominal margin of the hindwing ; first and 



third transparent spots of forewing large, second relatively small. Underside 



almost entirely shaded witii grey, the grey postdiscal line very broad and diffuse 

 on botii wings.

Apparently everywhere a dark and a pale form ; sometimes body and wings 

 mummy-brown without tawny shades ; other specimens, especially often the 

 ? ? from Sikkim, bright tawny. The genitalia of the <? vary to some extent 

 in our long series of specimens, a certain typi' being more often found in one 

 country than in another. The ventral process of the penis-funnel narrow, 

 flat, with the apex truncate, rounded, or pointed, or sometimes slightly widened 

 (figs, c and h) ; the subapical lobe of the clasper always narrow and long.
