SARANGESA. By Dr. A. Seitz.

T. abstrusus Fruhst. Ground-colour van Dyk-brown with a dark violet reflection. Forewing with 
5 subapical dots, the costal ones of which are removed somewhat proximad, almost streak-shaped. Before the 
apex of the cell there is a sandglass-shaped hyaline spot crossing the whole cell. An ultracellular small dot 
between the anterior and middle median; between the latter and the posterior median there is a somewhat 
longer spot. Hindwing uni-coloured, towards the base set with long hairs exhibiting a reddish reflection. Under 
surface somewhat darker, otherwise as above; only the palpi are below yellowish. Hindwing long, narrower 
than in the other Tagiades. Colouring and shape somewhat similar to that of Satarupa formosana Fruhst. (163 d) 
(a darkened form of Sat. tethys, the total impression of the <$<$ also like that of some Celaenorrhinu-s. 20 mm. 
From German New Guinea. According to Fruhstorfer; it is not lying before me. 
T. trichoneura Fldr. (165 e) is separated from all the preceding species by the yolk-coloured anal 
portion of the hindwing. Forewing with a great many, partly comma-shaped, small hyaline spots. Typical 
specimens are from Malacca. Hindwing beneath dingy white, in the costal portion shaded with dark, without 
distinctly dark spots. — In pralaya Mr., from Bengal, Sikkim, and the Khasia Hills, the hindwing is also beneath 
yellowish instead of white. — pellita Fruhst., from Tonkin, differs from pralaya in the narrower yellow portion 
of the hindwing and in the fact that not dark maculae, but long dark rays project over the proximal border 
of this yellow portion. — nava Fruhst., from Perak, differs from typical trichoneura in the darker yellow 
under surface and particularly in a series of yellow submarginal spots extending to the apical part of the forewing 
beneath. Java. Bali. — trichoneuroides Elw. (165 e), from Borneo, is the most beautiful form. Upper surface 
with very bright radiate black spots; hindwing beneath in the costal portion with 4 or 5 distinct spots. The 
species is apparently nowhere common. 
T. princeps Smpr. (165 e). Almost the whole distal half of the hindwing is yellow which colour even 
projects to the anal portion of the forewing. The small yellow subapical spots of the forewing are likewise 
prolonged and united into an oblique band, otherwise the brown upper surface is not distinctly spotted. In 
contrast with nearly all the other Tagiades, the under surface of both wings is coloured and marked exactly 
like above, whereby a certain homochromy is produced with several other lepidoptera inhabiting the same 
districts, of which we only mention the Philippinic form of Ophthalmis cincta (Vol. XI, pi. 3 g), some Lyman- 
triidae (Euproctis geometrica Vol. X, pi. 43 a), simulans (ibid.), though this resemblance is not to be explained 
as mimicry. Mindanao; Panaon. — bazilanus Fruhst. is a race from Bazilan, in which the subapical macula 
of the forewing above is absent. 
T. paradoxus Fruhst. 22 mm. Beneath somewhat similar to princeps (165 e); above uni-coloured 
blackish-brown. Under surface somewhat lighter, bases of the wings slightly hued with yellow. Hindwing 
with a brown costal margin extending rather equally broad to the anterior median branch, then growing narrower 
and ending as a black line at the anal angle. The rest of the wing is dark yellow with a slight reddish tint. 
Spots on the forewing distributed as in princeps. Body brown, beneath yellow. Wings more roundish than in 
princeps. North Borneo. 
T. boisduvali Mob. is the largest species of the genus, with an expanse of up to 60 mm; above black, 
on the hindwing a square anal area extending to the cell, yellow, distally bordered by a beak-shaped black 
costal area. Antennae with a white ring before the club. North Celebes. 
T. pinwilli Btlr. (165 e) shows in the forewing large distal yellowish hyaline spots, the hindwing being 
orange-yellow with a dark margin and small dark spots before it and in the cell. A very beautiful species allied 
to the following tabrica ; from Assam, Malacca, and Borneo; rare. 
T. tabrica Hew. (165 e) is very similar to pinwilli', chiefly separated by the presence of minute sub¬ 
apical hyaline spots in the forewing, and by the position of the black submarginal spots on the hindwing, which 
are situate in the orange-yellow area in tabrica, whereas in pinwilli somewhat in the shadow of the proximal 
border of the dark marginal band. Stated from Darjeeling; at any rate still rarer than pinwilli. 
17. Genus: Sarangesa Mr. 
This genus is composed of about 20 forms, 16 of which occur in the African Region and have been dealt 
with in Vol. XIII (p. 573—579) and have nearly all been figured there on pi. 76. Only 4 species occur in 
the Indian Region, especially in India and Ceylon, where they prefer dry districts, as they also do in 
Africa. Only 1 species touches the palearctic frontier in the North-Western Himalaya. Most of the species, 
which in the exterior and habits are somewhat like the European Carcharodus, exhibit a rather monotonous 
dark brown colouring, but in some the anal portion of the hindwing may also be lighter, as we find it in the 
Tagiades and also in the analogously coloured Americans from the Achlyodes- group. As to the structure cf.
