NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXII. 1915. 



G. tagalica. 



a. palaivainca. 



b. obsoleta ,{ah. ?) 



c. talautensis. 



7. ? salei/erensis ( ? only). 



Section A may be tabulated by tlie S appendages : 



1. Harpe with lateral (or rather ventral) process, shuttle piece serrated 



at side of extremity . . . . . . . . 1 . tlietis. 



2. Harpe as with a terminal cap, shuttle piece serrated across end 



2. cclebensis. 



3. Harpe simple : 



a. Valves very long (3'2 mm. against 2'0 mm. or less), aedeagns 



very short ....... 3. tagalica. 



b. Valves very broad lint short (beyond harpe) . . 4. mronis. 



c. Harpe very short, aedeagns curved, very large shuttle piece 



5. nesophila. 



d. Extremity of aedeagns highly chitinised, almost bulbous, and 



ending in a sharp point ..... 6. phaedrus. 



To tabulate Section A by general aspect, etc., is more than difficult. I make 

 the following attempt : 



1. Habitat confined to Southern India and Ceylon, copper of pale tint, 



border very narrow . . . . . . .1. phaedrus. 



2. <S with a very distinct discal line on upperside forewing 2. celebensis. 



3. Underside markings generally filled in with much dark shading 



3. tagalica. 



4. Hardly distinguishable from tagalica ; the shading beneath is usually 



less heavy and the Innules between veins 5 and 7 of forewing beneath 

 project less beyond the others. The margin of copper of forewing has 

 a very regular circular curvature .... 4. nesophila. 



5. Postdiscal line always distinct, though it may be faint, Innules between 



6 and 7 hardly project beyond others .... 5. saroni.H. 



6. Postdiscal line, when present, has Innules .5 and 7 of forewing well 



bej-ond others, border upjicrside broad e.xcept in S.E. distribution 



C. thetis. 



I am not prepared to tabulate the females. Of most forms the corresponding 

 males and females are fairly well recognised; to this knowledge I only add the 

 recognition of the males oi celebensis and of egena, of which the types are females 

 and hitherto no males belonging to them have been described. 



The species insularis, which is rather intermediate between the two sections, 

 has the general facies of Section A. The harpe is soft and clothed with hairs as 

 in A, except that the tip is chitinous as in B, and as in B there is no shuttle to 

 the aedeagns. In its general aspect the species has one distinctive mark : the 

 postdiscal line beneath, following the general direction as in Section A. can hardly 

 be said to be at all lunulated, but rather follows one continuous curve, though curved, 

 one may say a straight Hue rather than one broken into a succession of Innules,
