771. Glyphodes assimilis sp. nov. 



Under the name of Glyphodes caesalis Walk. Sir George Hampson has included at 

 least 5 distinct species. This is not astonishing, as the insects are wide-spread and 

 the British Museum series contains only a small number from any given locality, and 

 moreover the pattern of the wings is very much alike in the several species ; the present 

 species is the largest, darkest, and most boldly marked of all the forms. 



cJ differs from caesalis in its much larger size, darker colour, and strongly accentuated 

 markings. On the abdomen are 4 latero-dorsal brown lines instead of 2. On the 

 hindwing there is below the discocellulars a band-like streak along vein 2 which is 

 absent in caesalis, and the median band runs to tornus, not joining postmedian ; on 

 the forewings all markings are much broader and darker. 



Expanse caesalis 28 mm. Length of forewing 12 mm. 



Expanse assimilis 40 mm. Length of forewing 17*5 mm.
