apparently applies to 0. cercyon, and as my specimens are distinguish- 

 able at a glance from typical C. davidis, both species being apparently 

 constant (Mr. Leech does not hint at any intermediate form occurring), 

 I have ventured to describe it. M. Oberthiir (fitudes d'Ent., vol. xviii, 

 p. 14 (1893), also apparently refers to this species in speaking of 

 G. davidis, and says : " The whitish spots are often confluent, which gives 

 these specimens a less grey and less dark appearance." 



I am indebted to M. Charles Oberthiir for the gift of two speci- 

 mens of G. cercyon, and five males and one female of G. davidis, the 

 latter specimens shewing no variation whatever. A comparison between 

 the figures of G. davidis and G. cercyon will make it apparent at once 

 in what respects the two species differ. At present there are five 

 species known of this interesting genus : — 



(1) Galinaga buddha, Moore, Horsfield and Moore, Cat. Lep. Mns. 

 E. I. C., vol. i, p. 163, n. 336, pi. iiia, fig. 5, male (1857); id., de 

 Niceville, Butt. Ind., vol. ii, p 143, n. 435, Frontispiece fig. 122, male 

 (1886); id., Staudinger, Ex. Schmett., p. 138, pi. xlvii, male (1886); 

 G. brahma, Butler, Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist., fifth series, vol. xvi, 

 p. 309, n. 63 (1885). 



Habitat: Himalayas; Assam. 



(2) Galinaga davidis, Oberthiir, Etudes d'Ent., vol. 

 (1879) ; id., Leech, Butt. China, vol. i, p. 118, pi. xx, 

 (1894) ; G. buddha, Oberthiir (nee Moore), 1. c, vol. vi, p. 

 viii, fig. 6, female (nee male) (1881). 



Habitat: "Western China. 



(3) Galinaga sudassana, Melvill, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1893, p. 

 121, pi. vii, figs. 1, 2, female ( ? male). 



Habitat: Mountainous regions about 100 miles N.-W. of Cheing 

 Mai, Siam; Kunlon, Salwin Riven, N. Shan States, Upper Burma. 



Mr. J. C. Melvill says that his type specimens (three) are 

 females. To judge from the example in my collection from Upper 

 Burma and from the figure I should say that all the known specimens 

 are males. 



(4) Galinaga lhatso, Oberthiir, fitudes d'Ent., vol. xviii, p. 13, 

 pi. vi, fig. 81, male (1893) ; id., Leech, Butt. China, p. 652 (1894). 



Habitat : Tse-kou, Thibet. 



M. Oberthiir notes that at Tse-kou are found C. davidis, G. buddha, 

 and G. lhatso. 



(5) Galinaga cercyon, de Niceville. 



Habitat: The road between Ta-Tsien-Lou and Mou-Pin, and the 

 neighbourhood of Ta-Tsien-Lou, in Western China.
