TEIPH.^NOPSIS. 55 



but all the veins sprinkled with wliite scales ; the discoidal spots larger, their margins partly 

 yellow, forming the characters Q K ; subniarginal spots also yellow : secondaries darker and 

 more sericeous than in C. midtanyula. Costal borders of wings below whitish, irrorated with 

 black scales; a dusky discal stripe across all the wings; primaries with a diffused dusky 

 submarginal band followed by a whitish-speckled border and a marginal series of black litura;; 

 fringe whitish, with a dusky central stripe : body fuliginous brown; tarsi above black, with 

 pale ochraceous bands. Expanse of wings 39 millim. 

 Dharmsala ; at sugar. 



TRIPHiENOPSIS, Biitl 



Triphsenopsis inepta. (Plate CXXVII. figs. G, 7.) 



Allied to T. lucilla of Japan : primaries with the same pattern, but entirely different 

 colouring, purplish grey, slightly suffused with golden brown beyond the central belt ; the 

 black markings less prominent than in T. lucilla, the central belt dark throughout, the 

 reniform spot whity brown, clouded with grey in the male, white in the female : secondaries 

 paler than in T. lucilla, the central patch pale stramineous, much larger and traversed 

 externally by a badly-defined brown line ; fringe stramineous, flecked with brown : thorax of 

 male smoky grey, palest behind the collar ; abdomen pale dust-grey, with dark dorsal tufts 

 and rufous-brown anal tuft : entire body of female sordid whitish. Under surface paler 

 throughout than in T. lucilla, the blackish belt of secondaries reduced to a submarginal 

 stripe. Expanse of wings, S 'i4 millim., $ 43 millim. 



Dharmsala ; at sugar in October. 



Triphsenopsis diminuta. (Plate CXXVII. figs. 8, 9.) 



On the upper surface almost exactly like the preceding species in colour and marking, 

 but much smaller; the central belt rather narrower below the middle and tlie head and 

 thorax uniformly paler than in males of T. inepta : on the under surface the primaries and 

 the submarginal baud of secondaries are blacker, throwing the paler portions of the wings 

 into bolder relief; the cell of the secondaries is considerably longer and the discoeellular 

 black spot consequently farther from the base ; lastly, the discal blackish lunulated Hue is 

 invariably absent. Expanse of wings 32-37 millim. 



Dharmsala; at sugar. 



Extremely like the preceding ; but nevertheless rightly regarded by ]\Ir. Hocking as a 

 distinct species. Six examples were obtained, varying a little inter se, yet agreeing in the 

 characters noted above; one very much worn male has the reniform spot white as in the 

 female of T. inepta.
