LOBOGONIA. By L. H. Prout.

C. cinerea Btlr. ? antenna pectinated. Expanse about 20 mm. Forevving rather pale glossy leaden- cinerea. 

 grey, costal edge ochreous, black-spotted; two waved, parallel brown lines, at about one-third and two-thirds, 

 both marked with black from costa to 1 ^' radial and with some smaller, finer black dashes or dots at the 

 other veins or some of them — a postmedian pair on the 3'''^ radial and P' median the best developed. 

 Hindwing paler, unmarked. Forcwing beneath darker lead-colour, becoming paler and more ochreous costally, 

 the lines wanting. The typical form I have only seen from Sikkim; Dharmsala specimens are darker lead- 

 colour, especially on the hindwing and should probably be separated as a local race. 



C. apicata spec. nov. (= cinerea Leech nee Btlr.). Smaller than cmerea (17 mm), the forewing appearing apicata. 

 rather more pointed, on account of a very faint concavity in the anterior half of the distal margin and 

 blackish spots on the fringe at the apex and the 3'''^ radial; a quadrate brown costal blotch at the origin of 

 the postmedian line, the spot at the origin of the antemedian also somewhat enlarged; fringe, in addition to 

 the large spots above mentioned, somewhat dark-.spolted at the ends of the other veins, at least posteriorly. 

 Hindwing narrow, with rather larger lobe than in cinerea; darker grey than in the typical form of that species.

39. GeniLS: liOlbog'Onia Warr. 



Nearly related to Cri/ptoloba, differing chiefly in that the distal margin of each wing has an angular 

 projection at the 3"' radial and that the discocellulars of the hindwing are not biangulate and the 2"*^ radial 

 arises from their centre. 



India to China, scarcely really Palearctic. 



L. ambusta Warr. (11 d). Light brown, the costal edge of the forewing and shaft of antenna rather ambusta. 

 copiously spotted with black. Forewing with black spots at costa, somewhat as in Reterophleps but smaller. 

 Underside brighter yellow-brown, suffused with reddish and coarsely dusted with fuscous, both wings with a 

 strong thick postmedian line. Described from the Khasis, but occurs at Pu-tsu-fong and Omei-Shan in July. 



L, parallelaria Leech (1 1 d) differs markedly from the more typical species in having the distal margin parallelaria. 

 of the hindwing almost smooth, not angulated. Paler than ambusta, the lines of the forewing further apart, 

 very straight, only a little widened at the costa and not black-marked; around submarginal spot between the 

 P* and 2"'' radials; terminal line and fringe dark almost to the hinder angle. Hindwing with the postmedian 

 line much nearer the distal margin than in ambusta and conspicuaria. Ichang, June, only Leech's type (a ?) 

 known to me. Doubtfully distinct from olivata Warr., described a year earlier from the Khasis. 



L. conspicuaria Leech (1 1 d) differs from ambusta in having the first and second black costal spots larger conspicua- 

 and triangular, the apex of the outer one extending as far as the dark spot which follows the postmedian line ''^"'• 

 and which is also enlarged; the antemedian hne not clearly defined, the postmedian interrupted in its posterior 

 part. The single line of the hindwing is broader and the entire wing more coarsely speckled or strigulated 

 with fuscous. Chang Yang in August. 



L. pseudomacariata Pouj., described from a single ? from Mou-pin, is only known to me from the figure pseudoma- 

 and description, but is certainly a close ally of conspicuaria, which will perhaps have to sink as a local form '^*'**'*- 

 of it. Ground-colour perhaps slightly paler, postmedian line of forewing widened into a narrow band, continued 

 to hindmargin though becoming still narrower; the single line of the hindwing, on the contrary, obsolete in 

 its anterior half; distal margins and fringes apparently less strongly blackened. 



L. fasciaria Leech, founded on 2 ?? taken at Chang Yang in June and July, has the margin of the fasciaria. 

 hindwing shaped as in parallelaria. It is smaller and much more heavily marked. Forewing pale yellowish 

 brown, coarsely speckled with fuscous; the lines moderately approximated, arising from elongate costal triangles, 

 thick throughout most of their course but somewhat interrupted (the antemedian behind the cell, the postmedian 

 at both folds); two spots on costa near apex, a moderately large one at distal margin between the S"" subcostal 

 and P' radial and small ones in the other anterior cellules; submarginal spots between the P' and 2"'' radials 

 and on each side of the fold. Hindwing rather paler, with a thick postmedian (median) line.
