the brown shacle distally to the postmedian row often more sharply 

 düfined. Thoy perhaps deserve a separate racial name. 



160. Obeidia tigrata Guen. - 2 s, Shisha, May-Jiuie 1912. Both 

 belong approximately to the form leopardaria Oberth., with hindwing 

 white as far as the postmedian and forewing white in its hindmarginal 

 part except distally. One, however, is considerably larger than the 

 other, with much larger spots and with the white of the forewing so 

 extended that it shonid perhaps be called ab. decipiens Th.-Mieg. How 

 many species or snbspecies may be mixed up inider the name of tigrata 

 I am not yet prepared to say. 



*161. Obeidia gigantearia marginifascia Front, nov. snbspec. — 

 Differs from typical gigantearia Leech in having the black submarginal 

 fascia on both wings and in both sexes more solid, broadened so as 

 almost to reacli the termen, especially on the undersurf ace ; a black 

 patch (usually large) on vertex of head (small or even wanting in giga^i- 

 tearia), abdomen, base and hindmargin of forewing and base of hindwing 

 in general more heavily marked with black; black marks in fringe longer; 

 postmedian rows of spots on the other band smaller, on the hindwing 

 generally much smaller; under stn-face with less yeUow; V perha]:)s 

 rather narrower winged. Kosempo, August 1911, S ^3* and 8 ??. Leech 

 happens to have selected as his type (^) the example in which the 

 submarginal bands are best developed, hence they are mentioned in 

 his description; but even from that example the Formosan specimens 

 are well distinguishable and they certainly constitute a good local race. 



*162. Milionia pryeri Druce. ~ 12, Taihorinsho, October 1909. 

 Druce described this species from the Liu-Kiu Islands. Rothschild 

 (Nov. Zool. I, p. 493, 494) treats it as a snbspecies of basalis Walk., 

 which may well be correct, though the position, as well as the width, 

 of the transverse band seems to me to differ.
