Close to these insects comes the large Oriental EUhia cloliiimx, wliich might 

 very well be considered generically identical with the other species mentioned, if all 

 these were treated as being generically the same. 

 Key to the species : 



a. Forewing with sharply marked, parallel, 

 greyish white lines at nearly eqnal dis- 

 tances between base and onter margin . . . c. 

 Forewing with brown bands, which are often 

 barely vestigial, interspaces sometimes 

 shaded with white scaling; no sharply 

 marked greyish white lines . . . . . b. 

 h. Underside of abdomen and hindwing bright 



rufons-testaceons ..... 430. ^1. hliamina. 

 Underside of abdomen and hindwing salraon- 



bntf or clayish 435. A. ruhiyinosa. 



c. Hindwing, above, blackish-brown . . . 437. A. dolichoides. 

 Hindwing, above, glancous-blne in basal area 



(as in E. doiichus) 438. A. linigera. 



435. Ampelophaga rabiginosa. 



Ampelophaga rtihitfmnsit Bremer & Grey, in Motsch., Et. Enl. i. p. Gl (1862). 



c? ? . No comb to mid- and hindtarsns. R- and R' of hindwing much farther 



apart than W and M'. Forewing, above, with an indistinct basal band, a snb- 



basal line, an antemedian band, an abbreviated disco-cellular band, followed by a 

 broad discal one, a discal lino, mostly dentate, and an oblique apical line, more or 

 less indistinctly continued, in zigzag form, to hinder margin ; interspaces greyish, 

 distal marginal area glossy ; all these lines and bands sometimes quite indistinct. 



S. Tenth sternite truncate, feebly sinuate in distal view. Harjje (PI. XLVIII. 

 f. 15) rather regularly ladle-shaped. Penis-sheath (PI. LIV. f. 23): long left 

 j)rocess irregularly and sparsely dentate and notched at the j'roxiraal edge; the short 

 right process mostly simjile, but sometimes with one or two minute teeth. 



Larva : see above. 



Ilab. Japan to North India. 



Two subspecies : 



a. A. rubiginosa rubi(/inosa.
