NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIV. 1917. 307 



for about the middle half of DC'-', narrow, the distal projection along R' 

 small or almost wanting. 



Silikim, type S, Darjiling, paratype $ (H. J. Elwes), in coll. Tring Museum. 



35. Discoglypha locupletata spec. nov. 



(J, 26-28 mm. Closely similar to aureifloris Warr., but much more mixed 

 with rufous, so as to approach the tone of D. lnfkiinim.ita Warr. and variostigma 

 Warr. 



Forewing with the lines in general somewhat thicker, the median and 

 postmedian placed farther from the temien ; an irregular submarginal series of 

 yellow spots, the one between R' and M' large.st and roundest, the two between 

 SC and R' sometimes confluent, those between R' and R' minute or obsolescent ; 

 the spots behind M' are placed quite near the termen and are accompanied 

 proximal]}' by some slight dark shading. Hindwing with corresponding dis- 

 tinctions in the distal area ; cell-mark unicolorous pale golden, not marked 

 with rufous orange as in aureifloris. 



Khasis, April 1895, type and another, August 1896, February 1897, in coll. 

 Tring Museum. A single $ from the same locality, November 1894, is larger 

 (32 mm.), with the cell-mark of hindwing reduced. 



This has hitherto been passed over as an aberration of avreifloris, but as 

 all the diiferences are constant I suspect it is a vahd species, though I have not 

 yet found any structural distinction. 



36. Nobilia turbata Walk. 



Nohilia tarbata Walk., List Lep. his. xxiv. 1098 (1862) (Sarawak). 



Plutodes strigularia Snell. in Veth, Midden Sumatra i. (8.) p. 57 (1880), syn. nov. (Sumatra). 



Pltttodes (Omiza) strigularia Pageast., Jahrh. Nass. Ver. Nat. xli. 178 (1888). 



This widely distributed species shows interesting indications of incipient 

 geographical variations, but the races do not seem to be yet constant enough 

 to warrant naming. On Borneo (the type-locality) and also — so far as less 

 adequate material shows— the Malay Peninsula, Nias, Sumatra, Java, and 

 Celebes, the rufous parts, especially of the forewing, have a rather strong dark 

 admixture. In North India (Sikkim, Assam) the rufous is always bright and 

 clear, such as can only occasionally be matched in the localities named above. 

 In New Guinea and its islands (Ron, Dampier, Vulcan, Goodenough, Fergusson) 

 the darkening often proceeds even further than in the Malayan subregion, but 

 again with some mingling of redder specimens ; here, too, the underside is, on 

 the whole, rather more mixed with reddish. As with several other species, the 

 geographical range, so far as at present known, is discontinuous, for cnpreata 

 Pagen.st., Jahrh. Nass. Ver. Nat. xU. 178 ( = nebulosa Warr., Nov. Zool, iv. 

 58, syn. nov.), from Amboina, must, I think, be accorded specific right. 1 

 have seen no otlier Nohilia from the Moluccas. 



37. Antitrygodes parvimacula privativa subsp. nov. 



S $. Forewing entirely without green spots in the basal area ; the green 

 spots on either side of the discocellulars also reduced in size and not followed 

 by any further green spots posteriorly.
