Distinguished from francki by difference in the shape of the pale patches on the 

 upper surface of the fore and hind wings (see Plate) and by the male genitalia, in 

 particular the seventh and eighth abdominal tergites. 



Wing. <J 15-5 mm. (1) ; $ 17-5 mm. (1). 



The specimen illustrated in PI. 1, fig. 304 (a female from the Khasia Hills in 

 Assam) is the only known specimen apart from the holotype. 



Material examined. Type. Holotype <$, Darjeeling, (M oiler) ; Drepanidae 

 genitalia slide No. 738. In the BM(NH). 



Other material. BM(NH). India : 1 $, Khasis, vi.1895 (Nat. Coll.). 



Agnidra corticata francki ssp. n. 



(PI. i, fig. 303 ; Text-figs. 49-51) 



Similar to the nominate subspecies in both sexes, but with the pale medial patches on the 

 fore wing only faintly marked and the medial shade on the hind wing narrower. The male 

 genitalia (Text-figs. 49-51) differ from those of the nominate subspecies, particularly in the 

 shape of the seventh and eighth abdominal sternites. 



Wing. (J 18-5 mm. (1) ; $ 19-0 mm. (1). 



Holotype $. China : Kwanhsien, 10.vii.1926 (Franck) ; Drepanidae genitalia

Paratype. BM(NH). China : 1 $, Szechwan, Kwanhsien, 24.vii.1926 (Franck). 



Agnidra vinacea (Moore) comb. n. 

 (PI. 1, fig. 305 ; Text-figs. 52-56) 



Drepana vinacea Moore ; 1879 : 85. 



Albara vinacea (Moore) Warren, 1922 : 468. [Good fig.] 



Albara vinacea (Moore) ; Watson, 1961 : 326. 



Albara birmanica Bryk, 1943 : 18. [Good fig.] [Synonymized by Watson, 1961 : 326.] 



Distinguished from fuscilinea, which vinacea most closely approaches externally, 

 by the colour-pattern (see Watson, 1961 : 326) and by the male genitalia (particu- 

 larly the heavily spinose gnathus). The species specularia and corticata are also 

 close allies of vinacea but are easily distinguished from it by differences in the 

 colour-pattern (see fig. in Warren, 1922) and by the genitalia of both sexes (Text- 

 figs. 52-56). 



Wing. £ 17-5-21-0 mm. (27) ; $ 19-5-23-5 mm - ( I0 )- 



Distribution. Sikkim, N.E. India, N.E. Burma. 



Material examined. Types, vinacea. A lectotype was selected by the present 

 author (Watson, 1961) from syntypic material (two examples in the BM(NH) and 

 four examples in the Zool. Museum, Berlin). Lectotype <J, Darjeeling, 1864 ; 

 Drepanidae genitalia slide No. 724 ; in the BM(NH).
