but all the veins sprinkled with white scales ; the discoidal spots larger^ their margins partly 
yellow, forming the characters Q K ; submarginal spots also yellow : secondaries darker and 
more sericeous than in C. multangula. Costal borders of wings below whitish, irrorated with 
black scales ; a dusky discal stripe across all the wings ; primaries with a diffused dusky 
submarginal band followed by a whitish-speckled border and a marginal series of black liturse ; 
fringe whitish, with a dusky central stripe : body fuliginous brown ; tarsi above black, with 
pale ochraceous bands. Expanse of wings 39 millim.

TRIPH^NOPSIS, Butl. 
Triphsenopsis inepta. (Plate CXXVII. figs. 6, 7.) 
Allied to T. lucilla of Japan : primaries with the same pattern, but entirely different 
colouring, purplish grey, slightly suffused with golden brown beyond the central belt ; the 
black markings less prominent than in T. lucilla, the central belt dark throughout, the 
reniform spot whity brown, clouded with grey in the male, white in the female : secondaries 
paler than in T. lucilla, the central patch pale stramineous, much larger and traversed 
externally by a badly-defined brown line ; fringe stramineous, flecked with brown : thorax of 
male smoky grey, palest behind the collar ; abdomen pale dust- grey, with dark dorsal tufts 
and rufous-brown anal tuft : entire body of female sordid whitish. Under surface paler 
throughout than in T. lucilla, the blackish belt of secondaries reduced to a submarginal 
stripe. Expanse of wings, S 44 millim., $ 43 millim. 
Dharmsala ; at sugar in October. 
Triphffinopsis dimimita. (Plate CXXVII. figs. 8, 9.) 
On the upper surface almost exactly like the preceding species in colour and marking, 
but much smaller; the central belt rather narrower below the middle and the head and 
thorax uniformly paler than in males of T. inepta : on the under surface the primaries and 
the submarginal band of secondaries are blacker, throwing the paler portions of the wings 
into bolder relief ; the cell of the secondaries is considerably longer and the discocellular 
black spot consequently farther from the base ; lastly, the discal blackish lunulated line is 
invariably absent. Expanse of wings 32-37 millim. 
Dharmsala j at sugar. 
Extremely like the preceding ; but nevertheless rightly regarded by Mr. Hocking as a 
distinct species. Six examples were obtained, varying a little inter se, yet agreeing in the 
characters noted above ; oue vei'y much worn male has the reniform spot white as in the 
female of T. inepta.
