CHINESE DREPANINAE 31 



Agnidra hoenei sp. n. 



(PI. 2, fig. 309 ; Text-figs. 29, 68-71) 



o". Vertex of head and base of antenna dark reddish brown ; rest of antenna, front of head 

 and outer surface of palp brownish buff ; antenna bipectinate from base to about four-fifths 

 of its length. Collar yellow. 



Thorax and abdomen similar in colour to corresponding surface of wing. Colour-pattern 

 of wings as in PI. 2, fig. 309. Ground-colour of upper surface of fore wing buff, variable in 

 tone, moderately lustrous ; pale whitish medial patches sometimes strongly irrorate with dark 

 brown ; remaining markings pale purplish brown, except for dark brown edge to medial patches 

 and dark brown anterior markings of subterminal fascia. Ground-colour of hind wing usually 

 slightly paler than fore wing, moderately lustrous ; markings pale purplish brown, except for 

 patch at end of cell (as for fore wing). 



Under surface of both wings brownish yellow-orange, slightly lustrous. Both wings with 

 brownish grey subterminal and postmedial fasciae anteriorly, or in some specimens (e.g. holotype) 

 with subterminal moderately well-marked anteriorly but with only a trace of postmedial 

 fascia. Well-marked dark brown discocellular spot on fore wing and smaller faintly marked 

 spot at posterodistal angle of cell ; hind wing with similarly placed but poorly defined cell- 

 spots. 



Prothoracic leg with brush-organ ; outer surface of femur, tibia and tarsus dark greyish 

 brown ; legs otherwise as for colour of under surface of wings. Mesothoracic tibia with fringe 

 of long hair-scales on inner surface. 



o* genitalia as in Text-figs. 68-71. 



$. Similar to male but with ciliate, very weakly biserrate antennae, and prothoracic and 

 mesothoracic legs with normal vestiture of scales. 



$ genitalia as in Text-fig. 29. 



Wing, o* 17-5-20-0 mm. (14) ; $ 19-5-21-0 mm. (14). 



Closely related to furva and fulvior but separated from both by the genitalia 

 (especially the aedeagus) and the presence of a brush-organ on the male fore leg, 

 and from furva by the coloration, colour-pattern of both wings and the less strongly 

 falcate fore wing. 



Distribution. Known only from the type-locality, which is also the only known 

 locality for its closest relative fulvior. 



Holotype <$. China : N. Yunnan, Likiang, 8.vi.i934 {Hone) ; Drepanidae 

 genitalia slide No. 968. In the Museum Koenig, Bonn.

Agnidra fulvior sp. n. 



(PI. 2, fig. 310 ; Text-figs. 25-28, 34) 



o". Whole of head and outer surface of palp dark reddish brown. Antenna greyish brown, 

 darkest at base. Bipectinate from base to four-fifths of its length. Collar light buff. 



Thorax and abdomen reddish buff dorsally, pale buff ventrally. 



Colour-pattern of upper surface of wings as in PI. 2, fig. 310 ; coloration as for hoenei but 

 with ground-colour of both wings usually duller, more brownish, and with medial patches of
