NEW GENERA AND SPECIES 



relatively much narrower and more spotted wings. The 

 pterostigmatical markings are very indistinct in the fore- 

 wing, absent in the hindwiug. The forewing is spotted with 

 numerous very indistinct greyish brown dots, which give 

 the membrane a nearly homogeneous, grey-brown tinge. 

 Hindwing much paler and without distinct markings. 



In both wings are three brown points between radial- 

 sector and media. Nervature brown, the crossveins yellowish 

 white. Costalfield of the forewing dark coloured. 



Body grey-brown. Antennae very long, reaching beyond 

 the middle of the forewing, black, long-pectinate. Legs 

 long, femora red, tibiae brown, tarsi nearly black. 



Body (ƒ 10 mm., forew. 22 mm., hindw. 20 mm., ant. 13 mm. 

 Abd. <ƒ 4 mm., gr. br. 7 mm., gr. br. 7 mm.

Neochauliodes sinensis occidentalism nov. subsp. 



CJiauliodes sinensis Weele, Notes Leaden Mus. XXVIII, p. 262, 

 partim (1907). Oraei Shan. 



Somewhat larger than typical sinensis-sipecimens and 

 characterised by the milky hyaline membrane on which 

 the dark pattern is very distinct. The oblique band of the 

 forewing is larger and mostly connected with the dark 

 ante-pterostigmatical spot. In the hindwing it is narrower, 

 nearly equal in breadth or gradually pointed towards the 

 hindborder. 



The male is distinguished from the female by its less 

 distinct pattern and narrower oblique bands. 



Habitat: Western Chiua, Omei Shan. 



The types are in the British- and in the Berlin Museum. 



Neochauliodes sinensis meridionalis, nov. subsp. 



Nearest related to the foregoing subspecies and of the 

 same size, but distinct by the darker coloured wings. The 



^otes from the Leyden. Museum, Vol. XXX.
