46. Thalassodes aptifimbria spec. nov. 



<$ ? , 44-46 mm. Like hypocrites Prout, but without the white terminal dots 

 and with the fringe green, unspotted, paler distally and with a fine whitish line at 

 its base. Slightly bluer green, the characteristic white spots at hindmargin 

 generally narrower. 



Darjiling, a few examples. Type $ in coll. Tring Mus. 



It is not likely that this is merely a local race of hypocrites. I know of no 

 analogy for such a wide divergence in fringe coloration, and moreover I have before 

 me a single example of aptifimbria from the Khasis, where otherwise hypocrites 

 shows no variation. 



47. Thalassodes effata spec. nov. 



S, 54 mm. Face bright green. Palpus less than one-and-a-half times as 

 long as diameter of eye, third joint about half as long as second ; green on outer 

 side, whitish beneath. Vertex white ; occiput green. Antenna white at base, 

 otherwise yellow ochreous, somewhat more reddish beneath. Thorax green, partly 

 whitish beneath ; pectus strongly hairy. Abdomen above green, beneath whitish. 

 Fore and middle legs partly reddish-brown above ; hindfemur rather strongly 

 hairy ; hindtibia dilated, with strong ochreous hair-tuft and short terminal 

 process. 



Forewing with termen slightly curved anteriorly and close to tornns, straight 

 or very slightly incurved between ; deep pea-green, with costal edge narrowly pale 

 ochreous and with slight blue-whitish strigulation ; near base somewhat more 

 mottled with bine-whitish, an indistinct postmedian band of the same from base 

 of M 1 to hindmargin and still more faintly anteriorly to M 1 ; coarse and copious 

 strigulae and dots at distal margin for a width of 3 or 4 mm. (narrowing to apex) ; 



fringe green, rather paler distally. Hindwing with the angle at R 3 moderate ; 



the whitish strigulation and mottling in basal and central areas stronger, except 

 along abdominal margin and on the raised discocellnlars, a rather broad green 

 postmedian band consequently distinct, angulated about M 1 near the termen, 

 becoming broader and more diffuse to abdominal margin and tornns. 



Underside similar but much paler, costal margin of forewing more broadly 

 whitish ochreous. 



Batjan (Waterstradt). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



48. Thalassodes acutipennis spec. nov. 



S, 34 mm. Face rather narrow, green. Palpus with third joint rather elongate ; 

 green, paler beneath. Vertex white. (Thorax and abdomen discoloured.) Hind- 

 tibia with hair-pencil and a rather short terminal process (length of terminal spurs). 



Forewing with apex acute and slightly produced, termen rather strongly oblique, 

 except close to apex almost straight ; SC 1 free, R 1 long-stalked ; yellowish green, 

 more approaching the colour of subtiridis Warr. than the normal Thalassodes 

 colour ; some whitish strigulation ; traces of a diffuse whitish postmedian line or 



band, rather nearer to termen than in most of the species. Hindwing with apex 



squared, angle at R 3 moderately strong, termen otherwise straight ; traces of an 

 angulated poslmedian band, corresponding to that of forewing. 



Underside apparently little paler, unmarked.
