 wing (lark, witli the media.n band only slightly blacker, the red-brown 

 colour proxiinally and distally to it indistinct, the pale costal patch 

 therefore conspieuous, as are also the white dots on the inner inargin 

 at the end of the basal and the beginning of the median band. May 

 probabh^ be cited as /. fumata Bastelberger. That this is not, however, 

 the only Formosan form of this widely distributed and enormously 

 variable species is shown by the Wileman coUection and by Bastel- 

 berger's papers. The forms which the latter records as Polyphasia 

 cinereata Moore, F . ,'tuhaj)icariaM.ooTe and F.scalata Bastelberger withont 

 doubt belong — at least in part -- here.
