 c. A. producta stigmatica subsp. uov. 



Hypsa slrigiveiMla, Snellen (uec Butler, 1875), I.e. p. 131. sub n. 14 (1888) (Java). 



Differs from producta strigicevata in the colour of the thorax and base of the 

 forewing being slightly paler, iu the veins of the forewiug not being white, e.vcept 

 the submedian uervnrc and the costal margin, and in the spot at tlic apex of the 

 cell being extremely small. In the type, 9, J'emah', the hindwing has above four 

 black spots — a very small discal one at the apex of the cell, a snbmarginal one, also 

 small, behind vein 3, and two larger postmedian spots behind vein 2 and before 

 vein 4 respectively, the latter sjiot traversed by vein 5. In the mide (in Dr. 

 Staudinger's collection) the snbmarginal series of black spots is complete, and there 

 is also a linear mark at the anal angle.

i"). Asota egens. 

 The range of this species extends from Sikkiiu to Timor, Celebes, the Philippine 

 Islands, Formosa, and the Riu Kin Islands ; in South India and Ceylon, as well 

 as in China, A. egens does not occur. The differences between the various 

 subspecies are not very pronounced except in the case of the forms from Engano, 

 Nias, and Timor. The subspecies from India, Borneo, and Celebes resemble each 

 other very closely, and so do again the forms from Java, Palawan, and the Loo 

 Choo (= Riu Kin) Islands. K. .1. 



". A. egens confinis snbsp. nov. 



(J. Veins of forewing striped wliitish yellow as in i'(j<'iis egens, but the veins 

 forming the areole less so than iu Indian egens ; besides a costal spot which is at 

 least as large as in Indian egens, the hindwing is devoid of spots, or there is a small 

 spot on disc between veins 5 and 0, or, besides, a small linear mark upon the 

 discocellulars, and sometimes also a slight mark behind vein 2 ; the four discal 

 spots, if present, very much smaller than in egens indiea. The two black spots on 

 the forewiug below are mostly produced in a basal direction, often merged together ; 

 the outer one of the two stands sometimes at the basal side of the discocellulars 

 instead of upon these veins. 



? . The two black sjiots of the forewing below as in egens indiea ; hindwing 

 with one spot only at the costal margin : the diameters of the spot are at least 

 1 and 2 mm.

Nearest to confinis, but with the black spots of the underside still more reduced 

 in number and size. 



(?. Veins strijjcd whitish yellow, more distinctly wliitc than either in egens

 conjinis. Underside : forewiug with the two spots smaller than they are in conjinis; 

 hindwing with a costal spot of 2 mm. in length and 1 mm. in breadth; sometimes 

 with another, small, spot on tlie disc outside the cell.
