Bombay, Nilsjiri Hill.^, and the Kliasia PTills — all apparently 

 identical ; whether the examination of: the genitalia will bear 

 this out remains to be proved.

Hah. Sumatra. 



Both types are from Sumatra. I have also a pair from 

 Nias. The fore wing of the male is much paler tlian that of 

 the female, the hind wing of both sexes very pale in colour. 



Osericana alhistella tnjpherojya, nov.i 



^ $ . Both wings of a uniform purplish grey, tlie hind 

 wing- perhaps a shade lighter in colour than the fore wing, 

 the pectinations of the long antennae more robust than in 

 alhistella, the markings siuiilar.

 forms ; the colour of the hind wing about the same as in 

 tryjjJieropa, the colour of the fore wing very much darker; 

 the abdomen with more greyish suffusion, the yellow anal 

 tuft entirely black on the u[jperside ; in the other two forma

(1886;. 



Hah. Walker's and Feider's types are from Sarawak, 

 Borneo, Moore's from Ceylon, and Snellen's from Sumatra. 

 It appears to be a very widely spread form ; I have it also 

 from the Solomons and from Obi Island in the Moluccas, 

 and without examining the genitalia I can find no difference 

 between them.
