 ssp. n. by the female genitalia, and from both watsoni and brevinotata by the colour-pattern of 

 the wings. (See Text-figs.) 



Type. Holotype $ [No locality data ; ' North Hindostan ' according to original 

 description] ; (Col. Buckley) ; Drepanidae genitalia slide No. 31. In the BM(NH).

Macrocilix mysticata watsoni Inoue 

 (PI. 13, fig. 382 ; Text-figs. 258, 259) 



Macrocilix mysticata watsoni Inoue, 1958 : II, 



Macrocilix mysticata watsoni Inoue, 1962 : 10. [Good figs] 



Separated from the nominate subspecies and brevinotata by the colour-pattern of the wings 

 and the female genitalia (Text-fig. 258), and from the nominate subspecies also by the eighth 

 sternum of the male genitalia (Text-fig. 259). 



Distribution. Japan and China. There are specimens from the Chinese provinces 

 of Fukien, Chekiang, Kwangtung and Yunnan, in the Hone collection at Bonn, and 

 from Szechwan and Yunnan in the BM(NH). 



Macrocilix mysticata brevinotata ssp. n. 



(PI. 13, fig. 381 ; Text-fig. 260) 



$. Distinguished from watsoni and the nominate subspecies by the female genitalia and the 

 colour-pattern. The abbreviated postmedial fascia on the hind wing is particularly diagnostic. 

 Wing. 190-230 mm. (5). 

 cj. Not known. 



Distribution. This subspecies is probably restricted to the higher regions of 

 Szechwan. The subspecies watsoni also occurs in this province (1 $, Kwanhsien, 

 in BM(NH)), at a much lower altitude, but no intermediates between these two 

 subspecies have been captured. 



Holotype $. China : Szechwan, Tu-pa-keo, 7400 ft., 4.ix.ig29 (Kelley- 

 Roosevelt Expedition) ; Drepanidae genitalia slide No. 249. In the BM(NH).
