-116 LEPIDOPTEEA I:NDICA. 



Forewing witli a small bluisb-white costal spot, one — generally two — slender upper 

 discal spots, a submarginal and marginal row of very small spots, and a large violet 

 white lower discal spot ; posterior border broadly cinereous, and in the male with the 

 basal area between the median and submedian ochreous encompassing the pale 

 brown sexual mark. Sindwing with a complete submarginal and marginal row of 

 small bluish-white spots ; basal spots white. 



Expanse, 2f to 3^ inches. 



Habitat. — Lower Burma ; Malay Peninsula. 



Distribution. — Mr. De Niceville (Butt. Ind. i. 68) records that " numerous 

 specimens of this species were taken by Capt. C. H. E. Adamson, near Moulmein in 

 June, and a specimen taken at Maylachoung by Capt. C. T. Bingham in September." 

 The figures on our plate 41, fig. 1, lb, c? are from Moulmein specimens in Col. 

 Swinhoe's collection, and figs. 1 a, c, (? ? are of specimens from Bankasoon, Lower 

 Tenasserim, from specimens in the collection of Messrs. Godman and Salvin. In 

 the Malay Peninsula, it occurs at Malacca, and Salanga. 



Iindo-Malayan Allied Species of Salpinx. — 8. vesUgiata (Butler, Proc. Zool. 

 Soc. 1866, p. 288, c?only), the habitat of ' Java ' being given for this species in the 

 original description. On referring to the ' Register ' in the British Museum, it is 

 there stated that the specimen described by Mr. Butler, as the male type, was from 

 Sumatra, the female only, also described and figured, being from Java. The latter 

 specimen (female) is referable to 8. leucostidos ; the sexes of both forms, though 

 separable, are probably only local representatives of one species. Habitat. Sumatra, 

 Malay Peninsula. — 8. leucostidos, Gmelin (Kirby, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1869, 358) ; 8yn. 

 Eunice, Godart. Habitat. Java.— aS. Dehaani (Lucas, Rev. Zool. 1853, 313) ; a 

 much smaller species than the preceding ; expanse, 2f inches. Habitat. Java. — 8. 

 Hobsoni (Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1877, 811). Habitat. N. Formosa. — 8. oculata 

 (Moore, P.Z.S. 1883, 302) ; figured by Semper in ' Reisen Arch. Philippen,' pi. 5, 

 fig. 8, 10, c? ?. Habitat. Mindanao.— -S. Hewitsoni (Butler, P.Z.S. 1866, 295, pi. 30, 

 fig. 2 ? ); also figured by Semper, I.e. pi. 5, fig. 9, ? . Habitat. Phihppines (Isle of Guam). 

 8. Negleyana (Holland, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. 1887, 112, pi. 1, f. 2). Habitat. Hainan.

Imago. — Male. Intermediate in form between 8alpinx and Jsamia. Differs 

 from Salpinx in the forewing being comparatively narrower, the apex more acute, 

 the exterior margin more oblique, and the sexual streak on the fore-wing shorter and 

 broader, the widely-separated scales clothing it on the upperside also of a different 

 form, these scales being narrow with bidentate-tips, and on the underside this streak
