328 PSEUDOMIZA; OCOELOPHORA. By L. B. Prout. 



calcearia. L. calcearia Walk. (= mediolimbata Pouj.) (16 c). Distinguished by the sharp teeth in distal margin 



and the olive-green or green-yeUowish band from apex of forewing to middle of inner margin of hindwing, fol- 

 lowed distaUy by fine dentate silvery grey line. Antemia in ^ ciKated. An Indian species, but has been 

 taken at Mou-pin. 



deniiljnenin. L. deiitiHneata Moore is smaller, the distal margins less dentate, the colour more uniformly olivaceous, 



a dentate silvery antemedian line better developed than in calcearia, the under surface yellower. Described 

 from Sildiim. A specimen from Chang Yang has been referred here, perhaps correctly, though the distal mar- 

 g'ns approach those of calcearia, of which it may be a small form. 



crenularift. L. crenularia Leech (= ouvrardi Ob.) (16 c) is somewhat doubtfuUy placed. Antenna and neuration 



as in Ocoelophora. A beautiful and quite unmistakable species on account of the arrangement of the pink mar- 

 kings and the dark olivaceous grey antemedian band. W. China: Ta-chien-lu. 



hepaiicnta. L. hepaticata Sivinh. This species again shows a different neuration, and was made the type of a new 



genus, Pristopera. The 1st an 2 ad subcostal are stalked and are connected with the costal. Antenna of the ^ 

 shortly pectinate. Nearly related to the following, but dark liver-coloured, the lines only quite weakly expressed. 

 Central Chiaa, without more exact locality. 



bilinearia. L. bilinearia Leech (16 d), described as Selenia (?), is well shown in our figiire except that the whitish 



proximal edging of the first line has not come out clearly. Forewing beneath brighter yellow, the 2 lines pre- 



hedemanni. sent; hindwmg paler, also with 2 luies. Central China: Chang Yang, in June. — hedemanni Stgr., which I have 

 not seen, must be very close to bilinearia, perhaps less variegated in the distal area; underside with stronger 

 dark dusting than upper. Ussuri district. 



45. Genus : Pseudoniiza Btlr. 



Also distinguishable from Garaeus by the naked eye. From Leptomiza it scarcely differs constantly 

 except in having the distal margins smooth, only with the apex of the forewing produced. Chiefly Indian. 

 The type species, castanearia Moore, is not Palearctic. 



A. Forewing with 2nd subcostal arising from 1st. Antenna in ^ simple 



{Dissoplaga Warr. ) . 



flava. Ps. flava Moore. The name-type is uniformly yellow, the markings as in the aberration. — ab. sangui- 



sangtiifhia. jjy^ Moore (16c) is a common form with the entire -ndngs, except a narrow band and distal margm, bright 



salmon pink. Both forms were described from the Kliasi HiUs but occur at Mou-pin. Warren (in litt.) refers 



here timandra Alph., described as from korea ,, ? Dierna'', but I cannot reconcile either the figure or description. 



B. F o r e w i n g w i t h 2rd s u b c o s t a 1 a r i s i n g from cell. Antenna in ^ simple. 



ohliqiiriria. Ps. obliquaria Leech (19 k). Described as an Aiizea. Palpus shortish. Forewing with a fovea; syste- 



matic position doubtful. Easily known by the produced apex of the forewing and straiglitish distal margin 

 of the hindwing, as well as by the coloration and markings; the broad, very acutely angled postmedian line 

 is pale-edged at the costa. Central China: C^hang Yang. Also Formosa. 



C. F o r e w i n g w i t h 2nd s ii b c o .s t a 1 arising from cell. Antenna in ^ b i p e c t i n a t e 



{Mimomiza Warr.). 



criieniaria. Ps. cruetitaria Moore (16 c) perhaps splits up into several local races, but I have seen too little material 



to decide. The name-type, from Sikkim, is larger and has the red markings stronger than the figured example 

 from Chang Yang, the subapical spot mostly reddish. The form here figured is also known from Dharmsala. — 



flavescens. flavescens Swinh. (= lyciscaria Ob.) almost entirely lacks the red shading. Khasis, N. W. India, Chinese Tibet, 

 Chang Yang. Chinese and Formosan examples have the distal margin generally more convex than Indian. 



46. Genus : Ocoelophora Warr. 



Probably related to Leptomiza, both sexes ^^'ith a small round fovea near the base of the forewing. 

 conspicuous on both surfaces, 1st subcostal sometimes anastomosing with costal and often with 2nd subcostal, 

 2nd subcostal arising from stalk of 3rd to 5th. Antenna of ^ simple. Range: India- Japan. Possibly only one 

 extremely variable species. 



lentiginosa- 0. letitiginosaria Leech (16c). Rather variable in size but generally small; postmedian line placed 



very near distal margin, mostly broken into large vein-dots, the narrow distal area with some dark shading. 

 Underside paler except costal region of forewing; proximal half dusted and strigulated with blackish. Japan 

 and W. China. Probably a form of nutculifera Warr. from the Khasi HiUs.
