1) EwcAhlorís thalassica, Swinhoe, Zrans. Ent..Soc. Lond. 1894, p. 175 — odis thalassica, Moore, is a synonym of « EpAyra » validaria, Walker, 
subfam. Jcidaliinae, see Hampson, Fauna 7nd. MotAs, Vol. 3, p. 446. Systematists are not agreed as to whether this, not being an original binomial, 
should invalidate the later name; but as Turner's ZAa/assica is a synonym, the point is not of immediate importance. 
2) The difference between this and Section I is not sexual, as Warren (JVovif. Zool. Vol. ro, p. 263) suggests, but it is easy to see how it arises, 
for the degree of approach between SC! and SC? is very variable in ce/afarta, and the ultimate tendency would be to become coincident. 
3) Diplodesma pudentifimbria, nov. sp. — d Q,22-23 mm. Face yreen (discolouring towards red). Palpus greenish tinged with 
red above and at tip. Head green, white between the antennsz. Antennal shaft reddish, whiter towards base. Thorax green above, pale beneath. 
Abdomen above green at base, then reddish with a red and a white dorsal crest. Forewing slightly more elongate than in the type, SC? free, or touching C, 
notrunning into it; colour green, smooth-scaled but not subdiaphanous, costal edge narrowly ochreous, weakly spotted with fuscous ; lines whitish, at 
about one-third and two-thirds; antemedian very indistinct, wavy, oblique outwards from costa, and somewhat outcurved in submedian area, otherwise 
nearly parallel with termen, narrowly shaded with olive distally; postmedian slightly wavy (more so in the Q), almost parallel with termen, narrowly 
shaded with olive proximally; terminal dark line fine, weak in the d, stronger in Q, interrupted by pale spots at vein-ends; iringe pale ochreous, tinged 
with pink. Hindwing without antemedian line, having instead an indistinct, elongate dark cell-mark; postmedian line with an outward bend from R3 
to M?, termen and fringe as in forewing. Under surface paler, unmarked, costal edge ochreous. Shillong, Assam, 15 September, 1909, type d'; 24 June 
909, cotype (Q), both in coll. Brit. Mus., collected by H. M, Parish.
