282 EUPHYIA. By L. B. Prout. 



radials is less satisfacton' ; but liis localities — Tali (Haut Yuniian) aml Ta-tsien-hi — Icavc r.o doubt about 

 the determination : it reaches westward to the Khasis and eastward to Central Cliina. 



snhmar(jina- E. submarginata Warr. (= ochreata Hmps.. Prout, nee Moore) (Vol. 4, pl. 7 i, as ochreata). 8maller 



^- (often much sniallcr) than picata, much less handsome, the greenish areas less dark, the white area outside the 



postmedian line less pure, on the hindwing scarcely or not all indicated ; distal area of forewing above and of 



both wings beneath often with more dark shading, but variable. N. W. India and Afghanistan, the type from 



Kashmir, where it is locally common. 



■undulata. E. undulata Leech (= undifraga Prout) (Vol. 4, pl. 13 c). On account of my temi^orary oonservation in 



Vol. 4 (under protest) of the unwieldy and in part unnatural "genus" Cidaria, I was compelled to find (Suppl.- 

 Vol. 4, p. 150) a new name for this striking black, white-lined species, since there existed an older Cidaria 

 undulata; in Euphyia this Substitution is no longer necessary. Palpus somewhat elongate, the 3rd Joint longer 

 than usual. at least in the $. Wings glossy. black. with numerous. mostly punctiform white lines: underside 

 similarly or still more strongly marked. East and Centri?l China, the type from Kiukiang. 



contortilinea. E. cotltortilinea Warr. ('11 1). Equally unmistakable, on account of the abnormal course of the thick 



black lines. Underside with almost the same markings, strongly expressed. Hindwing somewhat elongate. 

 Khasis, few specimens yet known. 



discomelat- E. discomelaina Wehrli (= undulata Sterneck nee Leech) (Suppl.-Vol. 4, pl. 14 a). Much smaller than 



""• undulata, more brownish, the white markings slighter, the subordinate lines not punctiform. the apical white 

 spots wanting. Like the two preceding it has large cell-spots and sharply marked underside. Pekin, obtained 

 in numbers by Stötzner; also recorded from Sunpanting, West China. 



(jeraea. £■. undulijeraria Motsch. (Vol. 4. pi. 10 h, as albostrigaria) geraea Pront (Suppl.-Vol. 4, pl. 14 a). Gener- 



ally large, like the name-typical Japanese race, but paler or less yellowish-tinged and with the postmedian line 

 nearly always slender. W. China, locally common. 



leucoxyla. E. leucoxyla Meyr. (27 1). This was described from a $ and assumed to belong to Xanthorhoe, but the 



discovery of the o within the last decade has necessitated its transference here, the antenna being simple. Aber- 

 rant in the elongate ^\ings and \v\t\\ rather elongate face-cone and palpus. I do not know any other species 

 with which to compare it. Hawaiian Islands: Kauai. 



aphoridis. E. aphoristis Meyr. (27 1). Another apparently isolated species, with somewhat the facies of a Horisme 



but without the crests. Face scarcely at all tufted. Palpus moderate. Wings dark and weakly marked. the 

 termen of the hindwing waved. Hawaiian Islands: Kilauea. 



roseata. E. (?) roseata Swezey. "27 — 31 nun. Forewing whitish much strigulated with rosy-pink and scattered 



fuscous scales; median band with some suffusion also of brownish ochreous, proximal edge wavy. distal edge 

 wavy, outwardly prominent in middle; discal spot small. Hindwing of the same colour and strigulation, median 

 band less distinct". Kilauea, in both sexes. Shape and venation not given. 



fjiffarrU. E. giffardi Swezey. "23 — 24 mm. Forewing white with a few scattered fuscous scales and much strigul- 



ated with fuscous: median band with proximal and distal edges nearly straight and marked with blackish lines, 

 the proximal line discontinued between cell and costa; discal dot round, black. Hindwing similar to forewing 

 but with the strigulations less distinct." Kilauea, a pair. Here also we lack detail as to siiape and venation. 



mhurija. E. lithurga il/e^/r. (28 a). Palpus 1 1/^- Antennal ciliation short. Wing-margins rounded. crenate. Very 



distinct in the shape of the median band, its edges strongly dentate, proximal edge twice sinuate. distal edge 

 with strong lobe. Both mngs beneath with conspicuously darkened subterminal band. The pupa of the type 

 was found in a loose cocoon among Mühlenbreckia. New Zealand: Makara Beach, near Wellington (loc. typ.) 

 and near Sinclair Head. 



prionota. E. prionota Meyr. (2s a). Wings elongate, the distal margins highly crenulate or dentate. Antenna 



non-pectinate, otherwise similar to Xanthorhoe cedrinodes episema, for which, indeed, Mr. Howes had deter- 

 mined it in bis collection. As Meyrick described it in his Arsinoe (Anachloris) I suppose the S antenna is 

 "strongly dentate". but Hudson, whose figure of the ^ we copy, is definite as to the "entire absence of pectin- 

 ations". The "greenish" costal and distal shading of the forewing should further distinguish it from episema. 

 South Island: Castle Hill and Dunedin; subsequently also from Gouland Downs. 



to.roc>p»fi. E. loxocyma Turn. "$, 20 — 24 mm. A small and inconsjiicuous species, best distinguished by the 



form of postmedian line of forewang"; this line is "very distinct. from - .^ costa to mid-dorsum [hindmarginj, 

 wath a well marked out ward projection beneath costa and another more obtuse in nüd-disc". Palpus short
