LXV. — Preliminary/ Descri/'tions of some new Species and 

 Siibspi'cies of Indo-Malayan Spliingidse. By Lord 

 KOTllSCIIILD, F.ll.S. 



These Splunp,id?e form part of colliictions sent to tlio British 

 i\liiseuin by Major F. B. Scott and .Mr. C J. Brooks. 



1. Ainhtilyx liturata obliterata, subsp. ii. 



(J. Differs from I. liturata in its much paler coloration and 

 the almost complete obliteration of the minor markings of the 

 fore wings and the great reduction of the markings of the 

 liind wings. Head, thorax, and abdomen much paler, huffish 

 not so vinaceous as in /. liturata. Fore wings stramineous 

 buff, tinged with rosy cinnamon, not vinaceous brown as in 

 the typical form ; the rutous-brown bands on veins 4, 6, and 7 

 absent and the rest of the nervures much less distinct, the 

 dark bands running 'in from costa absent, only the one 

 crossing vein 6 slightly indicated, the olive patcii on vein 1 

 and the smaller one above vein 2 both very much larger than 

 in I. liturata ; subtornal patch larger, better defined vinaceous 

 mauve, and without the streaks present in I. liturata. Hind 

 wing paler, yellower, less suffused with riifou^ tlife red 

 freckling and median band mucii reduced. 



Hab. Lebong-Tandai, Benkoelen District, Sumatra, 1912- 

 1919 [C. J. Brooks); 1 ^. 



2. Oxi/amhulyx pryeri sumatranus, subsp. n. 



? . Differs from pryeri pryeri in the presence strongly 

 marked of a crenulate median black band and an ante-median 

 angled line from cell to inner margin. The black basal 

 patch and the black transverse bands on hind wing are also 

 more strongly developed. 



Ilab. Lebong-Tandai, Benkoelen District, Sumatra, 1912- 

 1919 {C. J. Brooks); 1 ? . 



3. Clanis brooJcsi, sp. ii. 



(J . Nearest to bilinenta, Walk., and stenosma, R')thsch. & 

 Jord., but apparently much larger; this (^ having the fore 

 wing 70 mm., equalling the $ of stenosma^ and as in all the 

 known si)ecie3 the ? ? are larger than the ($ ^ , the ? ? of 

 brooksi will probably prove to be mucii larger. Tho pale 

 area running in from the costa on fore wing much longer 

 than in hilineatd, but not so long as in stenosma, not reaching 

 second line, first and second lines nnicli straighter, not angled 

 and crenulated. Black area of hind wing less extended
