types from Tokio and Yokohama are darker lliaii usual. Distributed in Japan. — venulata Ob. (8 e) seems vmidata. 

 to be merely a more variegated aberration, especially characterised by the yellow-edged costal patch in the 

 middle of the median band. Isle of Askold. — venipicta ll'rtrr. {= Ijrunnearia Leech, pilosa Th.-Mierj) venipicla. 

 differs in having a strong red-brown tone on both wings above and beneath, the median band more broadly 

 broken in its posterior part by I'ed-brown veins. Pu-tsu-fong. Also at Darjiling. 



E. mardinata Stgr. is unknown to me and the structure of the discocellulars is not mentioned, but I mardinata. 

 suspect it is a Eustroma. Size of reticulata. Forewing light violet-grey with light brown-black markings 

 consisting of basal patch, median band and subapical streak; median band divided into two by a paler band, 

 which contains the dark cell-dot; its proximal edge curved, its distal nearly vertical from costa to middle, 

 here rounded or bluntly angled, the posterior half somewhat incurved; apical streak weakly bidentate; a black 

 terminal line; fringe weakly chequered. Hindwing concolorous, with weak, bluntly outcurved postmedian line. 

 Underside of both wings with distinct postmedian line; no cell-spot; the hair-tuft dense, brownish. Mardin, 

 taken in August. 



E. (?) metaria Oh. (101) is also unknown to me, but I refer to it here on account of its great similarity metaria. 

 in markings to fissisignis Bilr., from which, however, it may be at once distinguished by their arrangement. 

 We reproduce Oberthur's figure. He adds scarcely any description and it must be remarked that if it has 

 the Eustroma. hair-tuft beneath both he and his artist must have overlooked it; in any case it has not the 

 orange discal scale-tuft on the hindwing above. Forewing beneath slightly smoky as far as the postmedian 

 line, which shows a deep indentation behind the first radial; beyond the postmedian the colour is at first white, 

 then brownish with a white subterminal line. Hindwing beneath somewhat dusted with grey and with a 

 distinct dark discal spot and angulated postmedian line; distal area as in forewing but rather. greyer. Ta-chien-lu. 



54. Genus: Paralygris Warr. 



Perhaps a subgenus of the preceding, the principal difference being that the & antenna is bipectinale. 

 The 2"'' and S''^ joints of the palpus are both elongate, the former shortly rough-scaled, the latter smooth, 

 exposed. The hair-tuft beneath the forewing in the cf is light-coloured and spreading; I have not been able 

 to study its point of origin. 



Founded by Warren for a single species, which is only known from W. China. 



P. contorta Warr. {■= delecta Leech nee Btlr) (12a) is remarkably like the well-known Indian species coniorta. 

 Cidaria delecta Btlr., except in structure, in having the white markings broader and in the more strongly 

 marked hindwing with considerably enlarged discal spot. W. China: Omei-shan, Mou-pin and Chia-ting-fu ; 

 May-July. 



55. Genus: Callabraxa^ Btlr. 



Face smooth. Palpus short, shortly rough-scaled. Antenna in cf minutely ciliated. Hindtibia with all 

 spurs. M'^ings rather elongate, but with the costa of the hindwing strongly arched. Forewing with areole 

 double; cf provided with scent-hairs in posterior part beneath. Hindwing with discocellulars not biangulate. 



I only know two species, not very closely related, but readily distinguished from Eustroma by their 

 larger size, longer wings and mimetic resemblance to the Abraxids. In the type species, from India, the cT 

 has 2 long tufts of white hair and 2 short tufts of dark hair on the forewing beneath. In the Palearctic species 

 the structure of the scent-organs is quite as in Gandaritis. 



C. maculata Swiuh. (as Gandaritis) (11 i). Superficially nearest to Lygris agues, but very distinct from maculata. 

 any known species of the subFamilly. Considerably smaller than agues, the base of the forewing not yellow, 

 the bands all broken into rows of separate elongate internervular spots. Beneath similar, the spots rather 

 larger and darker. Japan. 



56. Genus: Calleiilype Wai 



•r. 



The characters, including the mimetic resemblance, nearly as in the preceding aenus but with the 

 areole commonly single, discocellulars of the hindwing biangulate. 

 Distribution from Western China to Japan. 



Like the preceding genus, this is divisible into two sections according to the d' characters.
