EXMONODIA. By \Y. Warren. 



are dark olive: while the terminal area is variable; lines dark olive fuscous; inner line outcurved from costa 

 to vein 1. and again below it. edged inwardly with pale: median line obliquely waved outwards to vein 5. 

 there bluntly rounded and inwardly oblique to middle of inner margin, thickening downwards, and often 

 followed by a slighter line, generally interrupted above vein 5; outer line lunulate dentate, more or less 

 parallel to median line, outwardly edged with pale; subtenninal line also lunulate dentate, parallel to termen; 

 discocellnlar marked by two dark green drops, often confluent, with three dark green oval spots lying in an 

 oblique line parallel to median between veins 3 and 5: rarely all five spots are swollen and strongly con- 

 tinent, and every possible variation occurs: sometimes the three lower ones are small, ringed with paler, and 

 again one or other or all three may become obsolete; these spots are always stronger in the oV: hindwing 

 with dark diffuse straight olive band before the middle, and outer and submarginal dentate lines edged with 

 pale: the whole wing more or less suffused with olive; fringe of inner margin reddish; ? much paler, suffused 

 with green along terminal area and with a dark green oblique streak from apex: thorax dark olive green or 



suffusa. brown; in the ab. suffusa cf ab. nov. the whole of both wings is dark olive, except the costal edge of forewing: 

 griseata. ab. griseata ab. nov. (59 b) is a dark form of the ? with a pinkish tinge, the abdomen dorsally and laterally 



reducta. reddish; the ab. reducta ab. nov. cf has the wings tinged with brownish ochreous and yellow, without any 

 dark olive fuscous suffusion: the discoidal mark of forewing reduced or obsolete. The species occurs in 

 China, Japan, and Kashmir: it is common throughout India, in Ceylon, the Andamans, Java, and Borneo. 



shiva. 



E. shiva Guen. (=extricans Walk., pallida Moore, distans Moore) (59 c). Smaller and neater than E. 

 vespertilio; the whole forewing pinkish ochreous; only the terminal area beyond subterminal line faintly olive- 

 tinged, obliquely limited above by the dark streak from apex; the prominent marking is the angled median 

 line, which is produced across hindwing before the middle; the discocellular markings as variable as in vespertilio, 

 but the V=formed by their confluence more narrow and acute. As far as I know, this species is Indian only: 

 but as it may prove to be only a form of the preceding vespertilio, with which it is actually included by 

 Hampsox, I insert it here among the palaearctic species. 



Subsect. B. Hind tibiae and tarsi of cf fringed with very long hair; abdomen 

 beneath clothed with long woolly hair; forewing with apex subfalcate; underside of 

 hindwing clothed with long woolly hair except at middle of costa. 



pudens. 



E. pudens Walk. (= hypopyroides Walk., grandaeva Fldr.) (59 c). Forewing pale lilac grey in cf. 

 reddish fawn colour in ?; the terminal area darker; inner line olive grey, excurved above and below median 

 vein, with a diffuse grey cloud before it, sometimes appearing double ; median line double, olive-brown, excurved 

 and waved to vein 4, then inwardly oblique, distinct, and straight, this lower part continued obliquely upwards 

 from vein 2 as a dark line to apex, with the terminal area below- it olive brown; outer line lunulate dentate, 

 limiting the darker suffusion of terminal area; the costa beyond it occupied by a triangular olive grey patch: 

 subterminal line lunulate dentate, followed at anal angle by a pale erect cloud; terminal line waved, preceded 

 by another marked by black white-tipped dots on veins; a greenish lunule on discocellular, sometimes marked 

 by two black dots or a black crescent, generally followed by a dark horizontal smear to outer line; a large 

 irregular black blotch beyond lower angle of cell, sometimes much swollen, bilobed or trilobed and nearly 

 touching discal spot: hindwing with the median line straight and brown; the rest as in forewing; in the ? 

 the shadings are deeper fawn colour; in the type form the blotch beyond lower angle of cell is rounded and 

 of moderate size; — in the ab. parvitnacula ab. nov. (=ab. 3 Hmps.) (59c) the blotch is smaller, sometimes 

 reduced to a black spot: in the ab. grandimacula ab. nov. ( = ab. 2 Hmps) (59c) the blotch is large and 

 lonqimacula. swo ^ en i often conjoined with the discal lunule; — in ab. longimacula ab. nov. (59 d) the blotch consists of 

 persimilis. two elongate oval spots, sometimes in contact with the discal lunule; — in persimilis Moore (59 d) there are 

 fastiata. no dark blotches besides the slight discal spots; — in ab. fasciata ab. nov. (60b) both lines are followed by 

 prominent dark fascia-form shades. An Indian species occurring in Japan.

Subsect. C. Legs of cf norma' 



feniseca. E. feniseca Guen. (59 e). Forewing pale reddish fawn colour, dusted and towards termen slightly suffused 



with olive grey: the lines slight: inner line vertical, forming slight lunules outwardly between, and dentate 

 inwards on the veins, the teeth marked by dark spots; median line greenish, starting from a diffuse costal 

 spot, excurved and waved to middle, below it oblique, nearly straight and more distinct, followed by a slight 

 dark shade, which is continued to termen below apex, the apex above it pale, shining; outer line lunulate 

 dentate, parallel to median; subterminal straight, also lunulate dentate, followed by a paler shade at tornus; 

 a similar line close before termen ; a faint greenish lunule at end of cell, sometimes marked at each end with 

 . . black, often followed by an olive grey cloud between veins 4 and 5 to outer line; hindwing with the four 



puncta 0,lter nnes only; in the ab. geminipuncta ab. nov. (= ab. 2 Hmps.) (59 e) there are 2 small oval black pale- 

 grisea. ringed spots before median line, one on each side of vein 4; in ab. grisea ab. nov. (=ab. 3 Hmps.) the wings 

 are grey without red brown suffusion. A native of N. W. India, occurring over the border in Kashmir, and 

 also recorded from W. China; a ? from Kashmir in Tring Museum belongs to the form geminipuncta.
