 Strand in Seitz ' Macrolepidoptera/ vol. ii. p. 196, pi. 23/), 

 therefore remains without a name and J propose to call it 

 Cyclidia substigmaria super stigmaria, subsp. nov. Ground- 

 colour whitish, markings fawn-brownish, always more or 

 less shadowy, snhtornal spots at inner margin of fore wing 

 well defined, cell-spot of hind wing above black. 



Dharmsala, Kulu, Sikkim, Burma, etc.; type £ (Dar- 

 jeeling, ex coll. Lidderdale) in coll. Joicey. 



From Vrianatong, Tibet, comes a greyer, more suffused 

 race, with the cell-spot of the hind wing ahove generally 

 less deep black than in the form superstigmaria, the sub- 

 tornal brown markings of fore wing not, or scarcely, more 

 strongly developed than the posterior end of the line which 

 precedes them proximally. I name this substigmaria inter- 

 media, subsp. nov. Type in coll. Joicey. 



Typical substigmaria from China and Formosa (also, in 

 Tring Museum, from Tonkin) is very similar to subsp. 

 intermedia, but less dark grey, the cell-spot of the hind wing 

 above still weaker, the subterminal dots generally connected 

 by stronger grey shading, the subtornal markings of the 

 lore wing frequently confluent with the preceding line so as 

 to form a brownish pyramid, the cell-spots generally less 

 intensely black. 



The Japanese representative, nigralbata, Warr. (Nov. Zool. 

 xxi. p. 401), may possibly be a separate species, though most 

 collections have mixed it with " capitata" (i. e., substigmaria 

 substigmaria), not even recognising the marked distinctions 

 as racial. 



Family Arctiidae. 

 Subfam. Litrosianje. 

 G. Caprimima esthla. 



<J ? .—31-32 mm. 



Similar to C. caiida, Walk., but larger. The yellow on 

 patagia and tegulre more extended. 



Fore wing with the yellow area broad, the black at base 

 rasher broad, especially in the $ , where it curves outwards 

 along costal margin, the black costal margin in middle very 

 narrow in ? , wanting in $ . 



Hind wing rather more produced in tornal region than in 

 caiida, the black along abdominal margin broad, at apex 

 moderately broad, at distal margin between M 1 and tornus, 

 on the other hand, quite narrow (recalling Isabella, Rothsch.) ;
