CHINESE DREPANINAE 137 



with the type-species from New Guinea has shown that these two species are certainly 

 not congeneric and that hyalinata, together with arizana Wileman (191 1 : 149), will 

 have to be removed from Hyalospectra when further revisionary work has shown 

 where the affinities of hyalinata and arizana lie. 



Hyalospectra hyalinata (Moore) 



(PI. 13, fig. 378 ; Text-figs. 271-274) 



Comibaena hyalinata Moore, 1867 : 638. 



Hyalospectra hyalinata (Moore) ; Warren, 1022 : 451. [PI. 48c (as hyalicosta).] 



Hyalospectra hyalinata (Moore) ; Gaede, 1931 : 9. 



Hyalospectra postfasciata Bryk, 1043 : 7. syn.n. 



Distinguished from arizana Wileman (1911 : 149) by the broader subterminal 

 fasciae of the wings, and the presence of a brown medial shade on the fore wing. 

 No comparison of the genitalia could be made because of the badly damaged 

 abdomen of the holotype of arizana, the only specimen of this species. The genitalia 

 of hyalinata are figured in Text-figs. 271-274. 



Distribution. N. India, Sikkini, N. Burma, China (N. Yunnan : ex. in BM(NH) 

 and Museum Koenig, Bonn). Specimens from Malaya, Thailand and Ceylon, in the 

 BM(NH), probably also represent this species. 



Types, hyalinata. LECTOTYPE <$, here selected, labelled : Bengal ; N.E. 

 Bengal ; Russell ; Comibaena hyalinata type Moore [two labels] ; Moore Coll. 

 94-106. In the BM(NH). 



postfasciata. Holotype $ [not <$ as stated by Bryk, 1943 : 7], N.E. Burma, 

 Kambaiti, 200 m., 9^.1934 {Malaise) ; in the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, 

 Stockholm. 



CILIX Leach 



(PI. 13, figs. 383, 386-388 ; Text-figs. 275-290) 



Cilix Leach, [1815] : 135. Type-species Bombyx compressa Fabricius, 1777 : 279, by monotypy. 



[B. compressa is a junior subjective synonym of Phalaena glaucata Scopoli, 1763 : 221.] 

 Cilix Leach ; Strand, 191 1 : 204. 

 Cilix Leach ; Gaede, 1931 : 37. 



This is an easily recognizable genus of small white species distinguished from other 

 white Drepanidae by the irregularly shaped medial marking on the fore wing, and, 

 except for depalpata, by the anastomosis in the fore wing of 5c -f- R\ with the cell 

 near its base (see Inoue, 1962). 



Seven species are known : glaucata Scopoli (1763 : 221) (Western Europe and 

 North Africa) ; asiatica Bang-Haas (1907 : 70), stat. n. (Middle-East) ; depalpata 

 Strand (191 1 : 204), sp. rev. (N.W. India, Afghanistan) ; filipjevi Kardakoff (Russia, 

 China, Korea, Japan) ; patula sp. n. (China) ; danieli sp. n. (China), and tatsienluica 

 Oberthiir (China). The four species represented in China are dealt with below.
