CHINESE DREPANINAE m 



Drepana dispilata rufata ssp. n. 



(PI. ii, fig. 362 ; Text-figs. 218, 219) 



Distinguished from the nominate subspecies by the more strongly falcate fore wing (PI. 11, 

 fig. 362) and by the male genitalia (Text-fig. 218). The female genitalia are figured in Text- 

 fig. 219.

Drepana dispilata grisearipennis Strand stat. n. 

 (PI. 11, fig. 364) 



Drepana grisearia Leech, 1898 : 365. [A junior homonym.] 



Drepana grisearipennis Strand, 191 1 : 201 ; as a replacement name for Drepana grisearia 



Leech, preoccupied by Drepana grisearia Staudinger, 1892 : 335. 

 Drepana grisearipennis Strand ; Gaede, 1931 : 26. 



The only available example of this species, the holotype, differs in only minor 

 respects from the material of rufata, both externally and in the genitalia. Further 

 material from Szechwan should show whether or not rufata and grisearipennis are 

 synonymous. 



Distribution. China (Szechwan).

TRIDREPANA Swinhoe 



Tridrepana Swinhoe, 1895 : 3. Type-species Drepana albonotata Moore, 1879 : 83, by sub- 

 sequent designation by Warren, 1922 : 464. 

 Tridrepana Swinhoe ; Watson, 1957 :4ir. [Revision.] 

 ' Iridrepana ' ; Warren, 1922 : 464. [An incorrect subsequent spelling of Tridrepana.] 



As stated in an earlier paper (Watson, 1957 : 436) there is some doubt concerning 

 the whereabouts of the type material of albonotata, the type-species of Tridrepana. 

 T. albonotata was described from material in the Atkinson collection, now in the 

 Zoological Museum at Berlin, and I think it is best to select a female specimen from 

 the Atkinson collection, labelled ' Parisnath ' (the type-locality), as the LECTO- 

 TYPE, even though it lacks Moore's usual handwritten label indicating its status as 

 a type. The specimen labelled ' Drepana albonotata Moore, type ', in the BM(NH), 

 collected in Darjeeling, was presumably labelled by Moore subsequent to the 

 preparation of the original description of albonotata.
