2 TU Prout, Geometridae. 



moro tli;ui local races of a single spacics is at present doiibtfnl. They 

 agn^e in xenatioii and other points of strncture, inchiding the presence 

 of a i)atcli of longish hair on the iindorside of the hindwing between 

 the fold and SjVI'^, beconiing densest at beyond one-half of the wing- 

 length and then ceasing. They thns approach the groiip ySerraca, in 

 \\hieli the tuft is still more strongly develojjed and is differentiated 

 in eolonring. 



144. Boarruia (?) dentilinea Warr. — 1 J, Karapin (Japan), August 

 1!M 1 . On account of the snioother face, smoother scaling, and even the 

 coloration, 1 am inehned to think this species may be related to the 

 Chiasmia ,sfri(jala group in spite of its strongly pectinate antenna; as 

 in theni, S(*^ and .SC!^ of the forewing are generally coincident throiigh- 

 out. Previously known froni N. India. 



*145. H«Mnor()j)hila subplagiata Walk. — 1 ?, Anping, Aj^ril 1912. 

 146. Hernerophila (Plithonaiulria) cuiioilinearia Wilenian. — 1 c?, 

 1 5, KosemjH), OctolnT and November 1911. Wilenian oniits to mention 

 that the antenna in the V is bipectinate (i. e. subgenns or genns Phlhon- 

 andria Warr.) and considers it allied to subplagiata, in which that is 

 not the case. In iny opinion it is quite nearly related to afrilineata 

 Butl., the type of Phthonandria ■. as in that s])ecies, SC^ arises froni 

 SC"-; in both Sauter's exaniples it anastonioses strongly with C. 



147. Oasteiocoriu' pannosaria siniearia Leech (= orta Bastelberger). 

 -- 2 j', 1 $, iShisha, May-June 1912. It is stränge that neither Leech 

 nor l^astelberger even alluded to the similarity of their supposed species 

 to the very easily recognizable Indian (iasteroconie pannosaria Moore 

 nor jnentioned the glossy scaling and subdioi)hanous median area 

 l>(H>ch's type and Bastei berger's description both agree well with the 

 l^'ormosan cxampics Ix'fore me and they ar(> (juite certainly conspecific 

 \\ith paimosaria: 1 am even doubtful whether 1 am not conceding too 

 much in allowing subspecific rank to the Chinese and Formosan form, 

 bat it seems to be slightly more strongly marked, more dark-cloixded, 

 the dark distal mai'giii on an average broader, etc. 



*I4S. («astercM'ome ciiryzona Hampson (^ '. latifasciata Warr.). — 

 1 ;, Fuliosho, May 1903. Dcscribed from N. India. 



149. 3I(Mla.snia parisnattci Walk. — 2 ^, Shisha. May-June 1912; 

 1 $, Karapin (Japan). August 191 1. 



*150. IMcdasiiia ( i) conibustaria iiit'aiista Prout, nov. subspec. — 

 o, 43 -44 mm. As the rcmaikable sti'uctural characters agree entirely 

 with luime-typical combustaria Walk. (List Lc|). Ins. XXXV, p. ir)97),
