Glyphodes stolalis, Guenee, Delt. et Pyr. p. 293, t. 3. f. 11 ; Hampson, Moths Intl. iv. p. 354. 



Seychelles. — Three sjiecimens : one from Long Island (de Gaye) ; one from Silhouette, 

 end of September 1905 (Thomasset) ; one from Hound Island, December 190(5 

 (de Gaye). 



A well-marked local form of G. stolalis, constantly distinct in wanting the narrow 

 fuscous line bisecting either of the first two yellow transverse fasciae of the fore wing. 

 Most examples of G. stolalis from other localities have both these transverse yellow 

 fasciae bisected longitudinally by a darker line commencing on the costa and often 

 reaching to the dorsum of the fore wing. Occasionally this darker line is absent from 

 the first (basal) fascia, but is very rarely absent from the second. A single specimen 

 (one of several from New Guinea) in the National Collection, however, has both these 

 strigae unsullied, and therefore I do not consider the Seychelles form worthy of a name 

 as a distinct geographical race. 



Distribution. — Natal ; Br. E. Africa ; Seychelles (Malie, Round I., Silhouette) ; 

 throughout India; Assam; Ceylon; Sumatra; Pulo Laut ; Sarawak; New Guinea; 

 New Hebrides. 



134. Glyphodes subamicalis, sp. n. (Plate 17. fig. 11.) 



6 . Exp. 31 mm. Shape and markings precisely as in G. amicalis, Swiuh., but the 

 vitreous-whitish antemedial bar on fore wing is much narrower, and the postmedial broad 

 whitish bar, which in G. amicalis reaches from the costa to beloAv vein 3, is here reduced 

 to a subcostal spot only bounded by veins 4 and 8. 



Hind wing as in amicalis, the white median patch being only slightly reduced. 



Seychelles. — A single male specimen taken in Port Victoria, Mah6, by Mr. J. A. de Gaye 

 on 11 May, 1906. 



Distribution. — Seychelles (Mahe) . 



G. amicalis, of which the present species is obviously a geographical form, is recorded 

 from Dar-es-Salaam, Durban, and E. Africa.
