latter slightly oblique to E\ then erect. Hind wing semi- 

 hyaline white, the extreme termen and fringe faintly tinged 

 with green, especially on the anterior half. Underside white 

 faintly tinged with green, especially on fringes ; fore wing 

 with proximal third yellow behind costa. 



Mt. Murud, 6500 feet, November— 1 cf • 



Quite a distinct species, intermediate between sections i 

 and ii of Hampson, Cat. Lep. Phal., xi, pp. 496--498. 



38. Hylophilodes dubia sp. n. 

 9 38 mm. 



Head and patagia very dull green ; thorax apparently more 

 or less whitish (almost descaled) ; abdomen appears whitish 

 with some yellow hair on dorsum. Fore loing pale green, 

 irrorated with dull green towards costa, the costa itself pale 

 rufous (more conspicuously so towards apex) ; lines somewhat 

 as in ruhromarginata, Hylophila ruhromarginata Beth-Bak.. 

 Nov. Zool., xiii, p. 219, 1906, Brit. New Guinea, but rather 

 more parallel, more widely separated except at costa, 

 apparently more tinged with red ; a small greenish discal 

 lunule ; a slight green subterminal line, strongly incurved 

 opposite cell and fold, but not acutely angled: fringe tipped 

 with red ; tornus rather acute. Hind wing white with 

 a slight yelloAA^ tinge which might well be more strongly 

 defined in a fresh-conditioned specimen. Underside shining 

 white, fore wing with the costa and tips of fringe rufous. 

 Mt. Murud, 6500 feet, November — 1 worn 9 • 

 The very poor condition of the single 9 received has made 

 me hesitate to describe this species as new ; but it is almost 

 certainly distinct from all the three previously known species 

 and the acute tornus and direction of the lines, together with 

 the locality, should prove sufficient guide to the identification 

 of specimens which may subsequently be found. 



39. Carea vartpes Wlkr. 



Garea varipes Wlkr., Spec. Lep. Ins., x, p. 475, 1856, Malacca. 



Bakong — 1 o*. 



A fairly common species, occurring in Hongkong. Assam, 

 Ceylon, Malay Peninsula, Singapore, Borneo, Java, and 

 Sumatra. Also in a local race in Ceram.
