128 MESSES. H. J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWAEDS : 



IColadenia agnioides, n. sp. (Plate XVIII. fig. 11 ; Plate XXII. figs. 12, 12 a.) 



This species is distinguished from agni in the first place by its dark umber-brown 

 colour and the dark umber-brown fringe to cells 6 and 7 on the hind wings below ; the 

 pale fringe to these cells is not absolutely constant in agni, but is well marked in 4 

 out of the 5 male specimens examined. The male genitalia also differ considerably : 

 in agnioides there is a large dorsal crest on the tegumen and the upper lobe of the clasp 

 is merely a very small pointed strap-shaped piece ; in agni the back of the tegumen is 

 simple and the upper lobe of the clasp is at least as wide as the lower lobe, rounded 

 on the upper edge and triangularly pointed. 



The type in coll. Elwes was taken in the Naga Hills by Mr. Doherty. 



COLADENIA IGNA. 

 Tapena igna, Semper, Schmett. Philipp. p. 316 (1892). 



Sab. Luzon, E. Mindanao (Semper). 



COLADENIA SEMPEEI, n. sp. 

 Tapena laxmi, Semper, Sclimett. Philipp. p. 316 (1892), in part. 



This species is founded on the male specimen from Camiguin de Mindanao referred 

 to by Semper (I. c.) as differing from his other specimens of laxmi in having the hyaline 

 spots smaller and yellower, and the hind wing above browner, with the outer row of 

 dark spots more distinct. Fortunately we have been able to examine the clasp-form of 

 this specimen without dissection, and find that it differs from that of laxmi in the 

 particulars given in the table above. The angulation of the hind wing also is less 

 evident than in laxmi. 



Sab. Philippines (Semper).

 Hesp. Ind. p. 121 (1891). 



We transcribe the original description of this species, taken from a single specimen 

 from Sylhet : — 



" Male. Upperside : fore wing olive-greenish fuscous, with two very irregular broad 

 discal black fascise joined in the middle ; three most minute transparent subapical dots, 

 the uppermost the largest, placed at the outer edge of the anterior portion of the outer 

 black fascia; a very minute similar spot in the second median interspace ; a very 

 attenuated spot across the middle of the first median interspace, both placed on the 

 outer black fascia; the inner margin somewhat broadly irrorated with greyish scales • 

 a submarginal indistinct broad blackish fascia. Hind wing : ground-colour much as in
