10. Enmonodia viUicosta, sp. n. 



S • — 8G mm. 



Closely akin to pudens, Walk., of which it mi«;ht be 

 rcjiarded as a local race. Coloration the same. Hair of 

 liuul tarsus only clothing the fiist joint (one hind le;i only 

 sound); that oi pectus and femora brighter scarlet (in 

 I'udens more orange-ochreous, mixed or tin;;ed with scarlet). 



Fore icing with the variable dark spot near base of M' in 

 both the known exami)les small, its longitudinal measure- 

 ment exceeding the transverse. 



Hind iriiuj with the almost straight median line showing 

 behind R' a very slight tendency to curve inwards, not (as 

 in pudens) outwards; the postniedian dots rather nearer to 

 and more nearly i)arallel with the median than is usual in 

 pudens ; a rather distinct narrow dark border, as iw feniseca, 

 i J lie n., and lad ipex, Umpsn.; beneath with the long woolly 

 hair occupying also the costal region. 



Mindanao, Piiilippines {Mounscy), type and another. 



As the androconial h.drs of the hind wing are evidently 

 liable to abrasion, it is just possible that bred specimens of 

 pudens would show them also in the mid-costal region ; but 

 many specimens have been examined (as also by Hampsou) 

 without revealing an indication of this.

11. Speiredonia remota capitulifera, subsp. n. 



cJ . — Differs from remota remota, Feld. (S. Moluccas to 

 Aru) in having the median area of the fore wing darker, 

 more uniform (in r. remota distally fading out to nearly 

 the ground-colour), the head of the comma-shaped mark 

 reduced in size (about 3xl'5 mm.), entirely tilled in with 

 black. 



Hind wing with central part blacker than in remota remota. 



Bankala, Celebes (J. C. van Husselt). 



A ? ("Celebes ex Marsden "j, possibly representing a 

 different race, is smaller (56 mm.), the fore wing with the 

 discoidal mark not reduced, the median line interrupted by 

 it, the jjostmedian approximated to it (thus occupying about 

 the position of the median of remota remota). the subterminal 

 less deeply dentate, the hind wing with the whitish sub- 

 terminal line much more distally placed. 



Genus Lagoptera, Guen. 



Gupuee's note (Spec. Gin. T^ep. vii. p. 2'23) on the sljort 

 thiril joint of the male palpus holds in all the species
