Close to these insects comes the large Oriental FJihia (hlieluia, wliich might 

 very well be considered generically identical with the other species mentioned, if all 

 these were treated as Leing generically the same. 

 Key to the species : 



rt. Forewing with sharply marked, parallel, 

 greyish white lines at nearly eqnal dis- 

 tances between base and onter margin . . . c. 

 Forewing with brown bauds, which are often 

 barely vestigial, interspaces sometimes 

 shaded with white scaling ; no sharply 

 marked greyish white lines . . . . . h. 



b. Underside of abdomen and hindwing liright 



rnfons-testaceons 4;^>(). .1. khii!<mnii. 



Underside of abdomen and hindwing salmon- 



bnff or clayish 43.). A. rulji(jinosa. 



c. Hindwing, above, blackish-browu . . . 437. A. dolichoklea. 

 Hindwing, above, glancous-blne in basal area 



(as in E. dollchus) 43S. A. linigera. 



435. Ampelophaga rabiginosa. 



Ampehiphaga rnhig'moxa Bremer & Grey, in Motsch., Et. Ent. i. p. 61 (1852). 



(J ? . No comb to mid- and hindtarsns. R- and E^ of hindwing much farther 



apart than W and M^ Forewing, above, with an indistinct basal band, a snb- 



basal line, an antemedian band, an abbreviated disco-cellnlar band, followed by a 

 broad discal one, a discal line, mostly dentate, and an obliqne apical line, more or 

 less indistinctly continued, in zigzag form, to hinder margin ; interspaces greyish, 

 distal marginal arpa glossy ; all these lines and bands sometimes quite indistinct. 



S . Tenth sternite truncate, feebly sinuate in distal view. Harj^e (PI. XLVIII. 

 f. I.")) rather regularly ladle-shaped. Penis-sheath (PI. LIV. f. 23): long left 

 process irregularly and sparsely dentate aud notched at the proximal edge; the short 

 right process mostly simple, but sometimes with one or two minute teeth. 



Larva : see above. 



Ilab. Japan to North India. 



Two subspecies : 



a. A. riib/ffinosa nihic/inosa.
