340 STENORUMIA; HETEROLOCHA. By L. B. Prout. 



inomataria. 0. inornataria Leech (17 h) is almost entirely without reddish markings, though the costal margins 



of the forewing and the fringes and sometimes the cell-mark have a slight tinge of reddish. The marking 

 are all grey and shadowy. Only the type is known, a $ from Che-tou,^W. China. 



75. Genus: ^teiioriiiuia Hmps. 



Differs from Opisthograptis in the narrower forewing, with apex somewhat produced, and in having 

 the 2nd subcostal of the hindwing stalked with the 1st radial; forewing with all the veins present, 1st subcostal 

 anastomosing with costal and with 2nd subcostal, 2nd sucostal anastomosing with 3rd — 4th. Only some 4 species 

 are known, aU N. Indian. 



ablunala. S. ablunata Guen. ( = pangiaria Feld.) (17 i). Easily recognizable from our figure, which is taken from 



Jcaahmirica. a rather pale example ; some specimens are deeper yellow. The position of the lines varies little. ■ — kashmirica 

 Warr. is an aberration (?) in which the hindwing is absolutely devoid of markings and the fringes not (as in 

 the name-type) tinged with reddish. — ablunata inhabits the N. W. Himalayas (Dharmsala, etc.). 



76. Genus: Heteroloclia Led. 



Face not tufted. Palpus moderate to long, rough-scaled. Antenna in ^J bipectinate with long branches. 

 Forewing with apex acute, distal margin oblique, 1st and 2nd subcostals (except in Section B) coincident or 

 (rarely) very long-stalked, anastomosing or connected with the costal, 3rd to 5th arising much before end of 

 cell, 2nd radial (except in Section B) arising before the middle of the discoceUulars. Hindwing smooth-margined, 

 discoceUulars strongly obhque. An Asiatic genus, most of the species closely related. Section B should almost 

 certainly be removed. 



A. Palpus moderate to longish; 1st — 2nd subcostal coincident or long 



s t a 1 k e cl , arising from 3rd — 5th. 



laminaria. H. latTlinaria H.-Sch. (= niphonica Btlr.) (18 b) is very variable and as I have before me only the 



Eastern forms it is not quite certain that the synonymy is accurate. The ^ figured by Herrich-Schaeffer 

 from Asia Minor must be taken as the name-type, and seems to agree with the form niphonica, in which the 

 ground-colour is dull ochreous, so strongly dusted with violet-grey as to appear grey-brown rather than yeUo- 

 airsionaria. M'ish. — ab. aristonaria Walk, (figured as laminaria $ by Herrich-Schaeffer) is bright yellow, Uttle irrorated 

 bicolor. vvith violet-grey, though somewhat more so in the distal area. — ab. bicolor ah. nov. has the median area of 

 forewing and basal part of hindwing clear yellow, the rest strongly violaceous. — N. E. Asia Minor to N. Persia; 

 W. China to Japan. 



xerophilaria. H. xerophilaria Pilng. differs in its smaller size, narrower wings, very uniform sand-yellow colour, 



with sHght tinge of reddish, and transparent oval white cell-mark of the forewing, in the ^ with pale reddish, 

 in the $ with blackish circumscription. Palestine: Ain-Dschidi (Engedi) in December. 



stuUa. H. stulta Btlr. (18 a) differs from laminaria in its peculiar glossy olivaceous tone, weak markings and 



very large cell- mark of the forewing. Japan. 



fuacofasci- H. fuscofasciaria Leech. Smaller and darker than stulta, both wings with a complete darker post- 



"'**"■ median band. Ichang, one ^. 



phaenicotae- H. phaenicotaeniata Koll. (17 i). Forewing narrower and more acute than in lamirmria, much lighter 



"■*■" ■ yellow, the lines and apical patch more or less overlaid with rosy purple, a large blotch of the same 

 incolomta. often placed on the posterior half of the postmedian line. — ab. incolorata Warr. is very pale testaceous, 

 the markings more olivaceous. N. W. Himalayas. 



notata. H. notata Warr. is coloured like stulta (18 a) but with a rosy flush over the lines. It differs chiefly 



in having the distal margin of the hindwing straight or almost straight, not rounded. Central China. I follow 

 Lbechs determination, not having seen Waebens type, which may have been a mere aberration of stulta. 



maryinaria. H. marginaria Leech (18 a). This and the remaining species of Section A have also about the shape 



of notata. marginaria is distinguished by the rounded orange blotch on the hindmargin of the forewing. Mou-pin, 

 only the type known. Possibly an aberration of the following, which often shows faint indications of the orange 

 blotch. 



mibroseata. H. subroseata Warr. (18 a). Bright yellow, almost as in laminaria ab. aristonaria. Generally larger 



and easily distinguished by its shape. Central and W. China. ,, Japan", given by Warren, is probably ei-ro- 

 neous. 



ialconaria. H. falconaria Walk. (17 i) has the fore\A'ing still narrower and more acute, the markings more reddish, 



apical patch wanting, except generally a red spot in the extreme apex. N. India and W. China.
