646 Mr. J. H. Leech on Lepifloptera Heterocera 



measures 38 millim., and the smallest 30 millim. in expanse. 

 The How-kow examples are of the typical form as regards 

 the primaries, but the secondaries are almost devoid of 

 marking. 



Var. angusfari'a, nov. 



All the wings are narrower than in the type, and heavily 

 suffused with fuliginous on both sui-faces ; the white trans- 

 verse lines of primaries are very clearly defined. 



One example of each sex from Pu-tsu-fong.

 its inner edge and elbowed on its outer edge ; the reddish- 

 brown median nervules, where they cross the fascia, are 

 powdered with ochreous; submarginal line pale brown, inter- 

 secting some dark brown marks in the nervular interspaces ; 

 there is an oblique ochreous streak from apex. Secondaries 

 orange-brown ; basal and outer marginal areas clouded with 

 darker. Fringes brownish on primaries ; orange-yellow 

 chequered with brownish on secondaries. Under surface

 oblique series of orange-yellow dots, terminating in a patch 

 of the same colour on the middle of the margin ; secondaries 

 orange-yellow, tliickly sprinkled with brown, and traversed 

 by darker central and submarginal bands.

 aries and the more distinct transverse markings on those 

 wings ; under surface orange-yellow, with conspicuous inter- 

 rupted basal central and submarginal brown bands.
