12 Miss A. E. Piout on some 



Brit. Mas. from Dinawa belonging to kebea, that from 

 Owgarra to owyarra. The figure is of kebea. 



I am indebted to Mr. Bethune-Baker for hi:^ kindness in 

 lending me the cT and ? types of yfceiea for study.

8. Hylophilodes pseudorientalis, sp. n. (Pi. I. fig. 10.) 



= llylophilodes orienfaUs ^ , Flmpsn. Cat. Lep. Phal. xi. p. 510 (fig.) 

 (1912) (nee Halias orientalis, Hmpsu. Moths lud. ii. p. 132 (1894) 

 (Naga Hills). 



Ovyitig to the lack of sufficient material, Hampson has 

 confused two species under the name of orientalis, Hmpsn,, 

 supposing them to be a dimorphic ^ and ? . Having access 

 to better material, Warren discovered the existence of a 

 second species, but, b}^ a curious oversight, he re-named the 

 true orientalis as Hylophilodes parallela [Nov. Zool. xxiii. 

 222 (1916) (Assam)] , leaving the species with the red fringes 

 and oblique postmedial line still without a name. By the 

 kindness of Lord Rothschild, I have been permitted to study 

 and compare the types of orientalis and parallela, which 

 undoubtedly both belong to the species described by Hamp- 

 son in Moths Ind. For the other species I propose the 

 name of pseudorientalis. 



Described and figured (in Cat. Lep. Phal. xi.) as Hylophi- 

 lodes orientalis J" • 



Underside of both wings whitish, the fore wing tinged 

 Avith green, especially on the costal third, and with slight 

 black irroration just behind the costal rufous line, which is 

 broader than above. 



? . — Diff'ers only in the absence of the rough yellow hair 

 on dorsum of abdomen (which in the $ extends almost to 

 anus) and in the yellow tuft on abdominal margin of hind 

 wing being reduced to a slight fringe along SM\

Pseudorientalis can be at once distinguished from orientalis, 

 Hmpsn. {= parallela, Warr.), by the oblique postmedial line, 

 the rufous costa and fringes, and the thick yellow hair on 

 dorsum of abdomen and abdominal margin of hind wing, as 

 well as by the rather larger size (36-38 mm. as against 

 30-35 mm.) and the deeper green, less hyaline fore wing 

 and rather less hvaline hind win"-.
