According to Swinhoe (Cat. Lep. Het. Oxf. Mus., ii, p. 284) 

 tlie Borneo Ophthalmodes are referable to a single very variable 

 species. The question remains doubtful, pending an analysis 

 of more extensive material. Mr. Joicey bas (apart from 

 rlarnria Walk., which seems distinct) six forms from Borneo 

 (four from Bidi, Sarawak) in eight specimens and the present 

 example does not quite agree with any.

Probably a race, larger (especially the earlier specimen) than 

 Indian examf)les.

 I believe this species, possibly in distinguishable races will 

 prove to inhabit a considerable part of the Indo-Australian 

 region. A form from Ceram has been described by Rothschild 

 (Nov. Zool., xxii, p. 216, 1915), as hoarmioides. The 

 differently shaped postmedian lines disproves Hampson's 

 (Faun. Tnd. Moths, iii, p. 259) sinking to the preceding. 



100. ECTROPIS LONGTSCAPIA sp. n. 



cf 40 mm. 



Extremely like hhurmitra Walk., List Lep. Ins., xxi, 

 p. 881, Ceylon. Antennal cihation slightly longer. Hind 

 tibia without hair-pencil. Abdomen without basal spine ; 

 second tergite rather warmly coloured, third with pair of dark 

 anterior spots rather well-developed. 



Fore wang with the stalk of SC'" arising well down the 

 stalk of SC'''*"' in all three examples (in very rare aberrations 

 of hhurmitra connate or just stalked, usually w'ell separate); 

 rather brighter and smoother- looking than hhurmitra, the 

 irroration less dense, the markings standing out more
