One (? from the Khasias, May 1896.

 first line close to base ; second in middle, passing over the strongly marked black

 middle : third at two-thirds, slightly angled below costa, then curving parallel to 

 middle line and minutel}' waved into the anal angle ; submargiual line ver)' indistinct, 

 indicated by a dark spot on costa and a brownish cloud at anal angle ; a thin strong 

 black marginal line at base of the fringes, interrupted by the paler veins ; the costa

 the beginning.s of lines which cross the wing jiarallel to but much fainter than the 

 lines which are visible, and similar faint lines are visible between the second and 

 third lines. 



Hindwings : paler, with two submargiual lines of black wedge-shaped 

 markings ; fringe and basal line as in forewings. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 concolorous. 



Underside paler, with the markings indicated.

161. Ziridava xylinaria subrubida subsp. nov. 



Like typical xi/linuria Wlk. above ; the underside dull rosy, with the costa, 

 hindmargin, and broad postmediau fascia smoky black ; hindwings with marginal

Oue 6 from Indrulamau, Bonthain, S. Celebes, 2300 feet, September 1895 

 (A. Everett). 



Walker's type was from Sarawak ; in his description he does not mention the 

 underside. Hampson, in III. Lep. Ilet. VIII. p. 106, gives the underside as paler.
