falcate fore wing and the narrower cell-marking on the fore wing, it is probably not 

 closely allied to patrana. 



Two subspecies are known : the nominate subspecies, known from India and 

 China, and palleolus recorded only from Japan.

The genitalia of both sexes provide the only reliable diagnostic features in 

 separating this subspecies from the dark-spotted form of palleolus. 



Material examined. Types, patrana. The syntypes (all males) were deposited 

 in the collections of A. E. Russell and Moore. The Russell collection is almost 

 certainly lost (see Horn and Kahle, 1937 : 380), and there are no syntypes in the 

 Moore collection in the BM(NH). I have therefore selected a female specimen in the 

 BM(NH) as the NEOTYPE, labelled : Darjiling (F. Moller) ; Rothschild Bequest 

 B.M. 1939-1 ; Drepanidae genitalia slide No. 993. 



subbasalis. Holotype <$, N.E. Burma, Kambaiti, 2000 m. ; Drepanidae genitalia 

 slide No. 1683. In the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, Stockholm. 



formosana. [Type not seen. Examples of formosana identified by Inoue have 

 been studied.] 



Other material. N.E. India, N. Burma, Formosa and China (Szechwan, Yunnan, 

 Fukien, Chekiang). A single male from Laos, in the BM(NH), may prove to re- 

 present this subspecies.

Inoue (1955 : 13) gave the name crassimaculata to the form with an elongate dark 

 spot at the distal end of the cell on the fore wing. This has been figured by Inoue
