Mt. Poi, 5000 feet— 19. 



There seem to be two closely allied species occurring in 

 Borneo and Sumatra, both passing as caranea ; this specimen 

 appears to belong to the local species, not to the widely 

 distributed and better known one which is probably the 

 true caranea.

In all probability a close study of the species, based upon 

 larger material, will reveal some racial difference between the 

 typical (New Guinea) and the Sarawak form. In the mean- 

 time, the single cf from Mt. Poi must certainly be placed 

 here rather than with drylla Guen., Spec. Gen. Lep., vii, 

 p. 208, 1852, Central India, from which it differs in the 

 longer, more dilated third segment of palpus and the more 

 acutely angled hind wing. 



56. BOCULA DIVERGENS Sp. n. 



cT 35 mm. 



Segment 3 of palpus extremely short ; antennal shaft 

 almost simple, with straight bristles and cilia slightly more 

 than diameter of shaft ; anal tuft very long and dense. 



Head, body and fore icing pale brown, the wing broadh 

 deeper buff-brown on the proximal half of costal area, flushed 

 with very pale purplish-pink on posterior part and almost 

 whitish about the postmedial line ; very broadly chocolate- 

 brown towards termen. Fine antemedial, medial and post- 

 medial lines, almost equidistant, nearly erect but more or 

 less strongly waved ; the dark terminal shade reaching nearly 

 to postmedial line at middle of wing, a little curved away to 

 costa and bent outward to tornus from about M^ ; reniform 

 a black spot, orbicular almost obsolete ; medial line with a 

 second slight, similarly waved line on its distal side from M 

 to hind margin. Hind wing pale fuscous-brown, with dark 

 cell-dot and pale fringe. Underside pale buff, the fore wing 

 largely suffused with fuscous-grey except on the veins, the 

 costa deep buff". Hind wing with dark cell-spot and slight 

 postmedial line.
