NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 191G. 201 



distinct thickenings at the costal end of the postmedian and snbterminal lines of 

 the forewing. The ¥ is rather variable, sometimes nearly like that of c. velata, 

 but on the whole more sharply marked with black postmedian dots, the straight 

 blackish line from apex towards tornus sometimes thickened, occasionally ending 

 in a tornal blotch. 



Snd-Est Island, April 1898 (A. S. Meek), 4 SS, 5 ? ¥ in coll. Tring Museum. 



Warren, Nov. Zool. vi. 330, in discussing (without naming) this form, refers to 

 it one from Suer, Mefor. This reference, I find, is based on a single small 3, 

 somewhat discoloured ; I believe it represents another distinct race, similar to 

 c. euri, but not yet available for classification. 



28. Dooabia lunifera plana subsp. nov. 



c?. Differs from the name-typical lunifera Moore, from Assam, in having 

 the antemedian line almost obsolete, indicated by weak dots on the veins, the 

 postmedian of both wings also weakened, chiefly expressed on the veins, the 

 posterior terminal blotch of forewing and the terminal markings of hindwing 

 wanting. 



Kina Balu, N. Borneo (J. Waterstradt). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



The forewing is less elbowed at R 3 , the termen of hindwing less strongly waved 

 than in most examples of /. lunifera, but there is a slight variability observable in 

 the shape in the latter race. 



29. Ornithospila avicularia insularis subsp. nov. 



c? ? , 37-41 mm. Besides the markedly smaller size, this differs from the 

 Indian form as follows : Ground-colour slightly deeper green ; terminal line rather 

 stronger ; fringe deeper brown-red, approaching that of cincta Walk. ; costal edge 

 of forewing more strongly dark-dotted. 



Sumatra: Upper Palembang district (Volcker), a series in coll. Tring Mus., 

 including the type. Also one from Kuching, Borneo. 



This is clearly the insect which Snellen, in Veth's Midden-Sumatra (iv. (8) 

 p. 53), takes to be the S of his circumflexaria, founded and figured on a single ? 

 from Silago, Central Sumatra ; the last-mentioned, a synonym of submonstrans 

 Walk., is certainly his type. 



30. Ornithospila bipunctata spec. nov. 



3 ¥ , 42-46 mm. Distinguished from submonstrans Walk., with which it has 

 hitherto been confounded, as follows : 



Palpus more infuscated, without appreciable green stripe along second joint. 

 Antenna of S with the pectinations not continuing quite so far distally. Both 

 wings with termen smoother, apex of forewing less pointed, fringe not or only very 



feebly dark-spotted, lines less crennlate. Forewing with costal edge scarcely 



dotted with reddish ; lines generally nearer together ; discal dot smaller. Hind- 

 wing with a red discal dot in place of the circumflex mark ; beneath generally with 

 a more definite green distal border. 



Buuguran, Natnna Islands, October 7, 1894 (Hose), type in coll. Tring Mus. 

 Also from Penang, Selangor, Borneo, and Celebes. Here belongs Walker's (Oxford 

 Museum) original <$ " submonstrans " from Borneo, but his type (the ¥ in coll. Brit. 

 Mus., the only specimen registered in his List Lep. Ins. ; cfr. Swinh., Cat. Lep. [let. 

 Oxf. Mus. ii. 403) is of the other species.
