264 ' Prout, Geometridae. 



have Seen in the Wilemau collection 3xt auothcr forni, probably siinilar 

 to formosanns in colour, or niore olivaceous, biit of the size and shape 

 of Sauter's speciniens. I do not xuiderstand Bastelberger's remarks 

 on the Position of the diaphanous sjjots; they are variable in size and 

 shape in apicata, but are often phxced quite as in the Forniosan examples 

 before nie and are certainly not ,,beforc one-another", if that signifies 

 one proximally to the other between the sanie two veins. For the rest, 

 apicata is in India decidedly variable, but I am not sure whether it 

 there splits up into dislinct races. 



*lis. lloloroiniza obliquaria Leech. — 1 ^, Shisha, May- June 

 11)12. Hitherto onl\' known from Chang Yang. Leeeh described it as 

 an Auzea, a Uraniid genus with which it has certainly no connection. 

 Itshouldapparentl}' be referred to Heteromiza as understood by Hampson, 

 althongh it does not exactly agree with either of the three seetions 

 whieh he recognized. Perhaps related to flava Moore, but the antenna 

 with ciliation at least as long as cUanieter of shaft, SC' and SC^ arising 

 separate, the former anastomosing with C, the latter free; hindtibia 

 not dilated; forewing with well-developed fovea. 



119. Amblychia ang<'roiiaria Guen. — 1 ö', 1 ?, Kosempo. The ö" 

 is rather dark, the $ brightly coloured and with the white spots rather 

 large. The few other Formosan examples which I have seen, coliected 

 by Elwes and Wileman, agree very exactly with this $ form. Widely 

 (listributed in the Indo-Australian Region. 



*120. tliorodiia ochrciniacula Prout, nov. spec. — S, 76 mm. Ver}- 

 closely related to testaceata Moore from N. India. Smaller. Forewing 

 with the excision behind the apex still slighter, the termen from R^ 

 to tornus slightly convex, not (as in testaceata cJ) slightly concave, thus 

 appearing less prominent at R^ and tornus; ground-coloxu' rather more 

 rufescent; antemedian line arising midway between base and cell-spot, 

 thus more proximally than in festaceafa, angled in cell, not on SC; 

 median line strong; subterminal ochrcous spot between R^ and M^ 

 not surromuled with black. Hindwing with apex more squai'ed, the 

 tooth at SC- smaller, the termen from R^ to tornus rather more con- 

 vex; an ochreous subterminal spot corresponding to that of forewing. 

 Underside of both wings with the ochreous subterminal spot more con- 

 spicuous. Alikang, October 1909, only the type known. 



121. Amraica rccursaria Walk. — 1 J, Kago.shima (Japan), Sep- 

 tember 1911. Alrcady recorded from India to Java and to Japan. 



122. Bistoii (Hlepharoctcnia) perclara Warr. (= cerea Bastelberger, 

 ii<i\ . s\ii.. =- oiliiicata Matsumura, nov. syn.). — 2 ö, 1 9, Kosempo, 

 A[)ril-May 1911; 1 S, 1 ?, Sliisha May- June 1912. Not variable. Only
