 pi. 398, fig. K. 



Vithora agrionides, Butl., A.nn. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (4), 

 XV., p. 137 (1875) ; Bl. Typ. Lep. Het., pt. ii., 

 p. 3, pi. xxii., fig. 3. 



Two examples taken in June. 



130. Hypercompa principalis, Kollar, var. regalis. 

 (PL IX., fig. 4). 



Kiukiang specimens differ from the type in the much 

 darker ground colour of primaries, and the spots on 

 primaries and ground colour of secondaries are deep 

 orange instead of pale yellow ; the proportion of black 

 in these last is also much greater, and the abdomen is 

 heavily marked with black down the centre. 



Among over a hundred specimens of H. principalis, 

 which I took last year in the N.W. Himalayas, not one 

 individual exhibited any trace of aberration in the 

 direction of the Kiukiang form. 



131. Tryplicromera plagifera,'^?iYk.., Cat. Lep. Het., ii., 

 p. 400 (1854). 



Several specimens.
