LEBEDA, Walk. 



Lebeda repanda. (Plate CI. figs. 1 & 2.) 

 $ . Lebeda repanda (part.), Walker, Cat. Lep. Ret. vi. p. 1460. n. S (1S55). 



J 1 ? . Nearly allied to L. buddha of Lefebvre, but larger and of a duller darker colour 

 throughout ; the dark patch on the primaries of the male with a pale (but not white) spot 

 upon it; the greyish border of these wings very prominent: the secondaries of a smoky 

 chocolate-brown colour, with a well-defined greyish border bounded internally by a dusky 

 nebulous band : the under surface of a uniform dull chocolate-browu colour, with paler veins. 

 The female of a more uniform dull foxy red-brown colour than that sex of L. buddha ; the 

 belts across the primaries wider towards the costa, their pale borders only edged with a darker 

 line on one side ; the submarginal series of spots blackish and well defined : secondaries 

 crossed just beyond the middle by a paler band. Expanse of wings, g 55 millim., ? 84 milliiu. 



cJ , Nepal ; ? , Silhet. 



The " sexes " described by Walker are both females ; the female " variety " described 

 by him is that sex of L. buddha — L. plagiata, Walk. 



SUANA, Walk,

 cJ. Lebeda birnaculafa, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. vi. p. 1463. n. 13 (1855). 



J . Primaries above deep ferruginous, crossed by about six more or less sinuated dusky 

 stripes; an ochreous subbasal patch between the first two; a triangular silver spot in the cell 

 between the third and fourth lines ; external border greyish, its inner edge irregularly zigzag, 

 and bounded by blackish and testaceous spots : secondaries dark purplish brown, paler at the 

 base : body and underside chocolate-brown. Expanse of wings 13 milliiu. 



$ . Bright ferruginous red, with markings similar to those of the male, but the area 

 between the fourth and fifth stripes lilaeine greyish and the silver spot contracted, almost 

 comma-shaped ; a pale patch on the outer border above external angle. Wings below clay- 

 coloured, with dusky border ; the secondaries with an oblique ill-defined ferruginous streak 

 from the eosta, continued, less distinctly, as a narrow band across the wing. Expanse of 

 wings 13G millim. 



<J , Silhet ; $ , Java. 



Walker regarded the female as a variety of his Suana Ctrnpla, for which he described two 

 females as sexes, one of them being the Philippine representative of L. bimaculata, the other 

 (which must be regarded as typical S. ampla) being a form from Silhet, differing chiefly from 

 S. bimaculata in the absence, in both sexes, of the silver spot on the primaries, and in the 

 different intervals between the stripes on these wings.
