THALEEA. — COMIB^NA. 
71 
Nearly allied to T. depvJsata from the Celebes and T. dissita from Canara; it can readily 
be distinguished from the latter by its bright green instead of rufous-brown face. T. dissita 
appears to be identical witli T. quadraria from Ceylon ; but the two descriptions were placed 
under different generaj the former under Geoinetra, the latter under ThaJassodes.

Bright emerald-green, mottled^ particularly on the veins^ with pearly white ; a sub- 
marginal chain-like belt of the same colour enclosing a series of green lunules ; a marginal 
series of white and sulphur-yellow diamond-shaped spots^ which extend into the fringe ; 
fringe tipped with grey : primaries with grey-mottled chalky-white costal border ; a white- 
edged green lunule at the end of the cell : secondaries with the basal half of abdominal fringe 
white : body mottled with white, abdomen with a dorsal series of white spots. Under surface 
white: wings glossy, opaline, veins dead white; fringe greenish, spotted with testaceous, 
tipped with grey : primaries with blackish-speckled white costal border. Expanse of wings

This species seems allied to T. divapala of Ceylon and the male of T. pieroides from 
Australia, both of which were incorrectly referred to the genus Comib.ciia. The male of 
T. pieroides is now known to be the " Thalassodes " scit/ssiiiiaria of Walker^s Catalogue. It 
will be interesting to discover the female of T. textilis, in order to see whether, as in the 
Anstralian species, it is entirely different iu coloration from the male.

Bright grass-green : primaries white at base, crossed just before the basal third by a 
slender angular white line ; a second more irregular and partly zigzag white line beyond the 
middle ; these two lines connected by a longitudinal white line on the interno-median inter- 
space; a small white-edged blackish dot at the end of the cell; disk partly irrorated witli 
white and crossed by white veins ; an oval flesh-tinted patch close to external angle, bounded 
internally by the discal line, and externally by an irregularly siiiuous submargmal white stripe ; 
a brownish spot at external angle ; outer margin narrowly white, spotted here and there with 
black ; fringe bi'ownish at external angle, and tipped throughout with silvery greyish : 
secondaries crossed beyond the middle by a subangulated arched white line, beyond which the
