380 CHRYSOPERA; HAMODES. By W. Warren. 



short, thrown forward; antennae of $ bipectinatecl to two-thirds; thorax and abdomen clothed with coarse 

 hair; the tibiae somewhat hairy; forewing with the apex produced and acute; termen excised from apex 

 to vein 4, then oblique and straight ; hindwing with termen bent at vein 4, thence straight to tornus. Type 

 E. penetrata Walk, from Africa. 



liluraia. E. lituratai^. (= varialis W alk., svgn&ta, Walk.) (68c). Forewing olive brown, sometimes pale and fulvous 



tinged, at others darker, suffused with fuscous; inner and outer lines whitish, conversely brown edged; inner line 

 curved to median vein, along which it runs outwards, then inwardly oblique, straight or slightly curved ; outer line 

 excurved and wavy to vein 2, then vertical, starting from a triangular white costal spot; median shade 

 thick, dark, excurved to median vein, starting from between two flattened white marks; orbicular stigma 

 a black dot; reniform a hyaline white lunule bilobed at base; beyond lower end of cell a diffuse orange 

 yellow patch ; a fulvous yellow costal patch before apex ; subterminal line nearly straight from vein 6, white ; 

 a large terminal brown lunule from vein 7 to 4, and three small ones below 4, all edged inwardly with white ; hind- 

 wing with black cell bar, with small orange patch below it; a brown median shade and slender white outer line, 

 both angled at middle; the large terminal lunule smaller; in the darker typical form the terminal area beyond 



davallia. subterrninal line is whitish; in the lighter, ab. davallia Fldr. (6S c) leaden grey, with all the other white markings 

 diminished in extent and plainness, and the dark markings paler. The species is well distributed in India and 

 the islands ; the dark form is the commoner, and it is this which occurs in China. 



39. Genus: C-lirysopera limps. 



Tongue well-developed ; palpi upturned, smoothly scaled, the second segment broad, the third slender, 

 long, and slightly curved; antennae of $ serrate, with fascicles of cilia; thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled; 

 tibiae without spines; forewing with apex prominent, the termen curved and even. Type C. combinans Walk.; 

 the only species of the genus. 



combinans. C. combinans Walk. (68 c). Forewing deep purplish brown, with indistinct inner, median, and outer 



dark lines; a pale praeapical costal semicircular patch with its outer edge excised; hindwing with a large 

 bright yellow terminal space from costa before apex to end of vein 2. An Indian insect, of which a single spe- 

 cimen is recorded by Leech from Ta-chien-lu, Western China. 



40. Genus: Hamodes Guen. 



Tongue present; irons smooth with a rounded tuft; palpi stout, short, the third segment blunt; 

 antennae in $ with short fasciculations ; head and thorax smoothly scaled; tibiae smoothly scaled, without 

 spines; forewing with costa strongly arched towards apex, which is typically produced; termen sinuate; hind- 

 wing with the anal angle truncate; vein 5 from lower angle of cell. Type H. propitia Guen. 



butleH. H. butleri Leech (68 f). Forewing grey brown with a pinkish tinge; the terminal area olive brown 



clouded with dark grey; the basal area clothed with olive brown hair; inner line dusky, curved and waved; 

 median shade irregular, dusky, followed by a reddish brown oblique line, inwardly tinged with whitish, running 

 from apex to inner margin beyond middle; subterminal line blackish, angulated, touching the oblique line 

 beyond cell; orbicular stigma a black dot; reniform stigma a white dot ringed with black in the <$, of nor- 

 mal shape and outlined with black in the $; hindwing with the oblique reddish brown line continued across 

 it ; underside yellow, with blackish cellspot and two dark line*. ; palpi velvety black, with the basal segment 

 yellow. W. China. 



mandarina. H. mandarina Leech (68 e). Forewing dusky ochreous brown with obscure inner and oblique outer line, 



not reaching costa and outwardly edged with ochreous; this oblique line, as well as two obscure wavy 

 lines beyond, is continued across the hindwing. A single $ from Omeishan, W. China. 



These last two species differ from typical Hamodes in having the palpi less erect, the second seg- 

 ment more loosely scaled in front ;~the apex of forewing is not produced, the termen not sinuous, and the 

 whole wing broader, as in H. unilinea Swinh.
