yellow : a w edge-shaped patch of pale lilac filling the discoidal area to a little beyond the cell ; a 

 pale-edged stripe of this colour crossing the disk a little beyond this patch ; a faint indication of 

 a second wider stripe halfway between the first stripe and the outer margin ami terminating 

 in a large sienna-red patch at external angle ; a fusiform sienna-reddish apical dash ; fringe 

 slaty grey tipped with white; internal border white: secondaries bright chrome-yellow, with 

 broad sienna-reddish external border, suffused internally with lilacine and externally with 

 yellow ; base of costa and a faintly iudicated line from costa beyond the cell tinted with 

 lilac; two blachi>h dots at the end of the cell; fringe as in the primaries : body below creamy 

 white, sides of pectus cadmium-yellow ; palpi brownish. Expausc of wings 56 millim.

T. subignitus, from Borneo, is exactly like this species ou the upper surface, but on 

 the under surface it differs wholly in colour, though similar in pattern. T. luteoviridatus also 

 resembles this species above, but on the under surface, though similar in colour, differs in 

 pattern : it is the Drepana rafflest of Moore, and occurs in Java and Sumatra. 



Tanaorhrmis dimissus. (Plate CXVII. fig. 3.) 

 Geometra diaiissa, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. xsii. p. 51G. n. 20 (1861). 



Sea-green : primaries crossed by two irregularly deutate-sinuate divergent white lines, 

 enclosing a black dot at the end of the cell : secondaries with a black dot at the end of 

 the cell, and a denticulated white stripe crossing the wing just beyond the middle; face 

 testaceous, top of head white ; thorax green ; abdomen white at the sides. Under surface 

 of wings pea green, with a black dot at the end of each discoidal cell, and a dark brown line 

 from near the apex of primaries to the outer third of abdominal margin of secondaries : body 

 below white, with the front of pectus pea-green. Expanse of wings 59 millim. 



North India [Buckley). 



There can be very little doubt that this species occurs in Darjiling. 



Tanaorhinus reciprocals. (Plate CXVII. fig. 4.) 

 Geometra reciprocata, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. xxii. p. 51 o. n. 17 (J SGI). 



Dull olive-green : wings marked as in the preceding species, but the outer stripe of the 

 primaries and that of the secondaries followed immediately by a series of whitish lunules ; a 

 subniarginal scries of white spots is also added: thorax greenish, face ochraceous; top of 

 head anil abdomen white, the latter tinted with green along the dorsal region. Wings below- 

 green, palci' than above; differing from T. iliuii.ssiis m pattern, from the fact that there are 

 two dusky spots at external angle of primaries, and that there is a submarginal series of dusky 

 spots on the secondaries. Expanse of wings GO millim.
