123. Telicota bambus^, Moore. 



Pmnphila hamhusas, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lend., 1878, p. 691, pi. xlv, fig. 11, 

 male ; 12, female ; Telicota hambusse, Walker, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1895, p. 475, n. 116.

124). Telicota augias, Linnaeus. 



Papilio augias, Linnaeus, Syst. Nat. Ins., ed. xii, vol. i, pt. 2, p. 794, n. 257 (1767); 

 Telicota augias, Elwes and. Edwards, Trans. Zool. Soc. Lond., vol. xiv, p. 251 (1897). 



This species does not appear to have been bred. Messrs Elvp^es and 

 Edwards record it from Hongkong, but it is very difficult to say from 

 examining the markings only whether any particular specimen of this 

 group of the genus from Hongkong is T. bamhusse or T. augias ; in mark- 

 iiioTR the specimens seem to be intermediate. Those gentlemen appar- 

 ently make out differences between the two species in the form of the 

 clasp in the males, which from the figures given by them (1. c, pi. xxv, 

 figs. 62, 62a, augias, and 63, bambusse) seem to be sufficient to distinguish 

 the males.
