Callidrepana hirayamai forcipulata ssp. n. 



(PI. 12, fig. 372 ; Text-figs. 242-245) 



Distinguished from the nominate subspecies by the male genitalia (in particular the shape of 

 the eighth tergite and sternite, valves and uncus. 



Wing. cJ 13-5-18-0 mm. (15) ; ? 16-5-19-0 mm. (5). 



Distribution. China (Fukien, Hunan). A single male from Ta-tsien-lou (Szech- 

 wan), in the BM(NH), and a male from Wenchow (Chekiang) and four females from 

 West Tien-mu-Shan (Chekiang) in the Museum Koenig, Bonn, may also prove to 

 represent this subspecies.

DRAPETODES Guenee 



(PI. 12, fig. 373) 



Drapetodes Guenee, 1857 : 424. Type-species Drapetodes mitaria Guenee, 1857 : 424, pi. 18, 



fig. 6, by monotypy. Type-locality : central India. 

 Drapetodes Guenee ; Gaede, 1931 : 14. 



Drapetodes is characterized chiefly by the long labial palps, the non-falcate fore wing, the 

 colour-pattern, the absence of an areole on the fore wing, and by the broad bifid uncus in the 

 male genitalia. 



This small, chiefly Indo-Malayan genus, is represented in Formosa and the Chinese 

 provinces of Szechwan and Kwangtung. The specific identity of the material in the 

 BM(NH) is doubtful. For example, the male from Chung-king (Szechwan) probably 

 represents mitaria Guenee, while the female from Canton (the only other specimen 

 seen from the mainland of China) could prove to be a specimen of either mitaria, or 

 circumscripta Warren (1922 : 460, pi. 481) (type-locality : Sumatra), or possibly 

 deumbrata Warren (1922 : 459, pi. 481) (type-locality : Bali).

 Thymistadopsis Warren ; Gaede, 1931 : 16. 



No species other than the type-species has previously been placed in this genus, 

 the nearest relative of which is possibly Leucoblepsis Warren (1922 : 462). 



Distribution, albidescens is known only from the type-locality, in Sikkim, and
