HYPOCALA; CALPE. By W. Warren 



Sect. II. Hindwing withlong semihyaline groove between veins 7 and 

 8, running to near apex; veins 6, 7 distorted, divergent at origin. 



xiynipdpis. H. signipalpis Walk. (= bolinoides Guen. ? only) (69 f). <$ Forewing greyish fuscous, tinged with 



olive, darker along costa; the terminal area generally darker, and sometimes the whole wing except the space 

 around outer line; lines black and slender; the inner inangled on the folds and projecting between; the 

 outer excurved above and strongly lunulate dentate; a thick diffuse median shade parallel to outer line; or- 

 bicular stigma a black dot; reniform a white one, lying in the median shade; an oblique straight dark line 

 with pale inner edge parallel to termen; subterininal line obscure, wavy, sometimes indicated by a dark fascia 

 preceding it; black terminal lunules; hindwing with the lines repeated in inner marginal half; $ larger, red- 

 brown, with the markings less distinct, except the oblique line; the terminal lunules with pale yellow 

 dots between them; palpi with basal segment snowwhite, and tip of third segment whitish, the rest black. 

 Occurs in India, Ceylon, the Malay peninsula, and the Andaman Ids.; the examples recorded from China al- 

 most certainly belong to this species and not to bolinoides. 



45. Genus: Hypocala Guen. 



Tongue present; frons smooth, tufted above; palpi porrect, triangularly scaled, rostriform; antennae 

 in $ shortly ciliated; thorax and abdomen smooth; legs without spines and only slightly hairy; forewing 

 narrow, the termen curved; variable in the markings and suffusion; hindwing orange with black termen. 

 A tropical genus, two species of which occur in Western China. Type H. deflorata F. 



subsatura. H. subsatura Guen. (69 f). Forewing dark violaceous grey; inner line waved, angled on submedian fold; 



outer line sinuous, excurved beyond cell, then incurved to below reniform; submarginal deep brown, double, 

 filled in with whitish, starting from termen below apex and bluntly angled outwards at vein 3 ; hindwing orange ; 

 a large black cellspot connected with a black costal streak; terminal border black brown, its inner edge 

 angled inwards at vein 2, its outer with submarginal orange spot at vein 2 and a smaller marginal one 

 towards anal angle ; fringe orange ; in the typical form all the markings of forewing are indistinct ; — in the 

 aspersa. form aspersa Btlr. (69 g) the scaling is much brighter and the markings prominent; — limbata Btlr. (69 f) 

 u has the forewing suffused with dark chocolate, above a broad pale inner-marginal band speckled with brown 

 and angled upwards to lower end of cell; the costa shows a grey triangular patch before apex. All 3 forms 

 are recorded by Leech from Western China. 



moorei. ' H. moorei Btlr. (= efflorescens Moore nee Guen.) (69 g). Forewing paler than in subsatura; hindwing 



with inner edge of marginal black band even, not angled inwards on vein 2; the submarginal orange spot 

 absent; the smaller marginal one elongate. Recorded by Leech from Kwei-chow, Western China. 



46. Genus : Calpe Tr. 



Tongue present; frons with a large truncated tuft of hair; palpi upturned, broadly scaled below 

 the third segment hidden in the dense scaling, which is sharply cut off, so as to appear subquadrate ; antennae 

 short, stout, varying ha structure; abdomen thickly haired at base of dorsum; pectus woolly; legs of $, 

 especially the hindlegs, thickly haired, without spines; wings strong, ample; forewing with subfalcate apex 

 and sinuous termen; inner margin with two fringed lobes, a larger one before middle, and a smaller at anal 

 angle; vein 5 in hindwing close above 4. Larva with 16 feet; of bright colour; feeding exposed on low, 

 plants; pupating in a slight cocoon on the ground, among leaves and moss. Type C. capucina Esp. 



Sect. I. Antennae of <$ bipectinate. 



capucina. C. capucina Esp. (= thalictri Bkh.,1 sodalis Btlr.) (70 a). Forewing pale or dark fawn colour, often 



with a pink tinge, the darker shading olive green; costal edge pale; costal streak speckled with ochreous 

 or grey; three oblique olive greenish parallel shades, subbasal, antemedian, and median; a diffuse blackish 

 spot at each end of the discocellular ; a ferruginous nearly striaght outer line from apex to middle of inner 

 margin, sometimes deeper-edged internally; the terminal area beyond it paler, sometimes lilac grey, with 

 some olive clouds in it, and a waved, often interrupted, olive subterminal line; the whole surface is co-
