150 LEPIDOFTERA INDICA. 



Siam" (P. Z. S. 1874, 106). Mr. J. J. Walker, R.N., obtained " a single male near 

 Kowloon, Hong Kong" (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1895, 455). Mr. Robt. Swinboe obtained 

 several specimeDS in Formosa (P. Z. S. 1866, 359). We possess four of these 

 Formosan specimens, the males on the upperside of the forewing, having the lower 

 base of the cell and a little below the median vein to middle of the disc slightly 

 coloured with deep reddish-ochreous scales — or the entire lower half of the cell and 

 broadly to middle of the disc and the submedian is densely covered with red scales, 

 the two marginal series of lunules on the hindwing are also prominent and bluish- 

 white. In the female, the upperside of the hindwing has the veins thickly black, 

 and their discal interspaces speckled with black scales, these scales almost covering 

 the area posteriorly and merging into the black of the marginal border, the costal 

 black spot is also large. Mr. H. E. Hobson took similar specimens in North 

 Formosa (P. Z. S. 1877, 812).
