842 ISMENE; SUASTUS; AEROMACHUS: PEDESTES. By P. Mabille. 



septen- 1. septentrionis Fldr. (= striata Hew.) (86 f). Forewing black-brown, clothed with red-yellow hairs 



ttionis. ^^ ^Ijp base: along the costa as far as the apex of the cell a streak of the same colour. Hindwing with 

 a red-yellow border. Beneath the apex of the forewing and the whole hindwing glossy green; the veins 

 and internervular folds almost black-green. Head and thorax red-yellow, as is also the pectus, underside 

 of abdomen, and the tarsi. The $ is similar. China: Shanghai, 8iao-hi. 

 aquiUna. I. aquilina Spr. (= jankowskii Oberth.. chrisaeglia BtJr.) (86 f). Brown with a red sheen. Forewing, 



especially in the $, with 3 or 4 pale spots between the veins, which become more and more obsolete 

 towards the costa: between the spots and the almost reddish j-ellow base a darker band. Underside of 

 the wings duller and with larger and more distinct spots. Amur, Japan. 

 lara. I. lata Leech {S6 e). Very near gomafa Moore and perhaps only a form of it. Wings black-brown 



above, with an elongate, broad, yellowish white area: streaks of the same colour between the veins. 

 Underside similar, but whitish green: interspace 1 a white: all the streaks between the veins of the hind- 

 wing are light green, with the exception of the light elongate patch, which is white. Palpi and pectus 

 yellowish grey. Central Chma. 



Subfamily: Pamphilinae. 

 Section A. 



The species of this subfamily are recognized by the club of the antenna having an obtuse apex or being 

 but slightly curved. The third segment of the palpi thin and long, or conical and short, but never horizontal. 

 Vein 5 of the forewing almost always near vein 4. The o without costal fold and without brush of hair 

 on the hindtibia. 



20 Genus: Suastiis Moore. 



Club of antenna moderate, with the tip short and curved back. Palpi erect, the long third seg- 

 ment reaching higher than the vertex. Hindtibia with two pairs of spurs. 

 nremius. S. gremius F. (= chvodosa Moore, subgrisea Moore) (86 f). Upperside of wings dull dark brown. 



Forewing with three vitreous spots between veins 2 — i and with yellowish white apical dots. The disc 

 of the hindwing above pale ochreous and covered with greenish hairs. Underside of hindwing ashy grey, 

 with a black spot in the cell and 3 or 4 similar spots between the veins. Throughotit the north-western 

 Himalayas and India. 



21. Genus: Aeromaelms Nicer. 



Club of antenna of medium thickness, with a short, recurved tip. The second segment of the 

 palpus erect, the third porrect. Vein o of forewing midway between 4 ami (!. The jj have usually a 

 linear stigma on the forewing which extends from vein 3 to 1. 



A. oo with a black stigma which extends obliquely from vein 3 to 1. 



stigmata. A. stigmata Moore (86 g). Black. Hindwing beneath with a subterminal row of dark dots on a 



greenish brown ground. Spots in cellule 7 barely indicated. In the north of the Himalayas. 

 ihinensis. A. chinensis EIic. (= inachus Leech) (86 g, errotieously named sinensis on the plate). Near the 



preceding, but the dots of the subterminal row greenish black, velvety. The spots in cellule 7 well 

 developed. Hindwing rounded. West China: Ta-tsien-lu. 

 piceus. A. piceus Leech (86 g). Hindwing beneath uniformly greenish grey, the veins not paler than the 



ground; the space between the postmedian and subterminal macular bands not darker than the ground. 

 West China : Mupin. 



B. The stigma consists of a small longitudinal fold covered with light scales which is situated a little 

 proximally to the middle of vein 1 and is occasionally absent. 



innchtis. A. inachus Men. (86 g). Veins on the hindwing beneath paler than the ground. Amur. Japan. 



nanus. A. nanus Leech (86 g, as nana). One of the two marginal rows of spots of the forewing in cel- 



lules 0, 6 and 7, or 6, 7 and 8, the other in cellule 2 and 3: no light spot in cellule 4. A spot in the 

 cell near the upper angle ash-colour. China: Shanghai, I-chang. 

 caiocyanea. A. catocyanea Mah. Above pale brown. The stigma is a stripe which runs from the base of 



vein 3 to vein 1. Hindwing beneath with a curved subterminal band of glossy blue spots, extending from 

 the apical angle to vein 1 b. West China: Mupin. 



22. Genus: Pedestes Wats. 



Club of antenna strong, curved beyond two-thirds, with pointed tip. ^'ein j nearer to 4. Hind- 

 wing rounded, q without stigma.
