$ . Lebeda repanda (part.), WaVcer, Cat. Lep. Bet. vi. p. 14G0. n. 8 (1855). 
^ 2 . Nearly allied to L. buddha of Lefebvre, but larger and of a duller darker colour 
throughout ; the dark patch on the primaries of the male with a pale (but not white) spot 
upon it; the greyish border of these wings very prominent: the secondaries of a smoky 
chocolate-brown colour^ with a well-defined greyish border bounded internally by a dusky 
nebulous band : the under surface of a uniform dull chocolate-brown colour, with paler veins. 
The female of a more uniform dull foxy red-brown colour than that sex of L. buddha; the 
belts across the primaries wider towards the costa, their pale borders only edged with a darker 
line on one side ; the submarginal series of spots blackish and well defined : secondaries 
crossed just beyond the middle by a paler baud. Expanse of wings, ^ 55 millim., ? 84 millim.

The " sexes " described by Walker are both females ; the female " variety " described 
by him is that sex of L. buddha = L. jAagiata, Walk.

cT . Lebeda bimaculata, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. vi. p. 1463. n. 13 (1855). 
^ . Primaries above deep ferruginous, crossed by about six more or less sinuated dusky 
stripes ; an ochreous subbasal patch between the first two ; a triangular silver spot in the cell 
between the third and fourth lines ; external border greyish, its inner edge irregularly zigzag, 
and bounded by blackish and testaceous spots : secondaries dark purplish brown, paler at the 
base : body and underside chocolate-brown. Expaiise of wings 43 millim. 
$ . Bright ferruginous red, with markings similar to those of the male, but the area 
between the fourth and fifth stripes lilacine greyish and the silver spot contracted, almost 
comma-shaped ; a pale patch on the outer border above external angle. Wings below clay- 
coloured, with dusky border ; the secondaries with an oblique ill-defined ferruginous streak 
from the costa, continued, less distinctly, as a narrow band across the wing. Expanse of 
wings 136 millim.

Walker regarded the female as a variety of his Suana ampla, for which he described two 
females as sexes, one of them being the Philippine representative of L. bimaculata, the other 
(which must be regarded as typical S. ampla) being a form from Silhet, differing chiefly from 
S. bimaculata in the absence, in both sexes, of the silver spot on the primaries, and in the 
different intervals between the stripes on these wings.
