known from Formosa. Bastelberger regarded this as a subspecies of 

 the North Iiidian bengaliaria Giien. (qnoted in error as bengalaria), 

 biit I ff^el satisfied that it is, as indicated by Warren and Matsiuniu-a, 

 a good species, distinguished by the niid-costal black mark of the 

 forewing, less deej) angulation in the post median Hne of both wings 

 and other characters. Matsunuira quotes it mider Epamraicn, a new 

 generic name but apparently (though I cannot read his Japanese) 

 uncharacterized ; in any case, if it needs generic Separation, Warren's 

 name of Blepharoctenia (tj'^pe bengaliaria Gnen.) is older. 



*123. Ciisiala boarniioidcs Moore. — 1 ?, Sokutsn, Banshoryo 

 district, 7 May 1912. Witlely distributed in India. 



*124. Elphos saiiteri Prout, nov. spec. — i^, 71 — 72 mm. Shape 

 and structnre normal; 2'^"* subcostal vein of forewing shortly stalked, 

 as in hi/menaria Gnen. Pattern similar to that of pardicelata Walk., etc., 

 but very confused, the coloration less fuscous, quite agreeing with that 

 of Bronchelia scolopaiea Drury; both wings with oval, pale-centred 

 discal mark; the pale shading distally to the postmedian line only 

 distinct in the posterior part of the forewing; subterminal line indistinct 

 and interrupted; on th'^ forewing a large diffuse dark spot between 

 R^ and M-^ connects the anterior part of the postgiiedian line with 

 the dark proximal filling-in of the subterminal, so that a continuous 

 oblique shade from the costa to the latter is suggested. Under surface 

 with the ground-colour pale, but much more brownish (less white) 

 than in the allies, the fuscous irroration comparatively slight but more 

 uniformly distributed, though denser in the apical region of both wings; 

 forewing with dark costal spots and oblique postmedian band from 

 costa to beyond M^, both wings with small pale-centred cell-mark. 

 Polisha, April 1910 (type) Shisha, May-June 1912 (cotype). Another 

 indigenous species of the genus has been described, Elphos moUrechti 

 Bastelberger, Iris XXII, p. 179. It is larger (Bastelberger's measure- 

 ment is from tip to tip in set specimens and does not show the real 

 expanse; in sauteri, similarly measured, the expanse is 62 — 63 mm), 

 termen of forewing rather more oblique, of hindwing more deeply 

 crenulate, the upper surface more heavily marked with blackish and 

 bearing conspicuous white bands and spots, the under surface Avhite, 

 black bordered; I have seen it in coli. Wileman. 



*125. Xandraines latifpraria Walk. — 1 c^, Kosempo, August 1910. 

 As Leech has already pointed out (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) XIX, p. 326), 

 this is not the species figured by Hampson (Pig. 133) under this name; 

 Hampson's figure represents dholaria Moore (overlooked l)y Leech) 

 of whieh sericea Butl. seems quite an uniniiJortant modificat ion.
