ZOGRAPHETUS; MATAPA. By Dr. A. Seitz. 
1067 
21. Genus: Zograplietus Wats. 
Seven small species with above unmarked hindwings. Antennae half the length of the costa, only 
in ogyqia-$ slightly longer; club moderately thick, gradually swelling up. Palpi erect with a short last joint. 
The anal portion of the $ hindwing is slightly bulged out in the E- In the E of durga there are along the basal 
portion of the subcostal and median vein listels of raised scales which also cover the base of the cell. 
Z. durga Plotz (169c). Dark brown, all the wings with whitish fringes. The discal hyaline spots durga. 
are rather small and all crowded around the cell-end and the lower cell-angle except a tiny spot which is separated 
before the apical area. Beneath the apical third of the fore wing and the basal half of the hindwing are powdered 
with loam-coloured yellow, the distal half of the hindwing beneath is dark red-brown with small loam-coloured 
spots. Plotz’ figure which Swinhoe copies indistinctly shows the under surface; I therefore figure the under 
surface from the type, the upper surface from a co-type. Philippines. 
Z. satwa Nic. (169 c), according to the description, is hardly to be separated from durga and is probably s alwa. 
only treated as a separate species because the figure of durga was too deceptive. Larger, hindwing beneath 
brighter, the more yellow basal portion more distinctly contrasting with the violettish-brown marginal portion. 
Known from Sikkim and Indo-China. 
Z. flavipennis Nic. (169 d). Above very near to the preceding species, the basal parts of the wings flavipennis. 
coated with a somewhat brighter yellow, particularly below the costal margin and above the hind-margin. 
Hindwing beneath dull yellowish-red, towards the margin darker with 7 dark violettish-brown spots; 1 near 
the centre of the cell 7, 1 near the centre of the upper cell-wall, and a series of 5 behind the centre of the 
wing. On the forewing the hyaline spot in the cell 6 is particularly barge, oblong and almost as large as the 
one in 3; that in the cell 7 is punctiform. Above the centre of the liind-margin a small yellowish-white 
spot. Sikkim, Bhutan, Andamans. 
Z. flavalum Nic. (169 d). Above very similar to durga , but the fringes of all the wings honey-coloured, flavalum. 
Under surface reddish violettish-brown, the hindwing with a row of fine black dots before the distal quarter 
and a few small scattered dots in the disc. Sikkim. 
Z. ogygia Hew. (169 d, as orgyia) resembles flavipennis ; under surface likewise tinted with brick- ogygia. 
coloured red. The hyaline spot in the cell, that below the cell and behind it are rather large; the others like 
tiny pricks of a needle. The hindwing beneath shows a few black dots arranged in arcuate rows. Sumatra, 
Borneo, Pulo Laut. 
Z. ogygioides Elw. & Edw. (169 d, as orgyioides ) is like ogygia, but also the hyaline spot behind ogygioidca. 
the cell is reduced to a tiny size; hindwing beneath red-brown. Borneo. 
Z. auriferus Elw. & Edw. (169 d). Without any hyaline spot in the cell of the forewing; but between auriferus. 
the cell-end and the apex there is a larger double spot. The under surface is characterized by rows of black 
spots being situate in a light brownish-yellow halo. Nias. 
22. Genus: Matapa Mr. 
The 9 forms reckoned hereto presumably have very little in common with the preceding genera which 
they only resemble by the dark brown colour. Particularly remarkable are the eyes being hemochrome in the 
live insects, brownish-red in dry ones. Antennae of more than half the length of the costa. The ES exhibit 
a narrow arcuate impression on the fore wing above, extending from vein 1 a to the base of 3. 
M. aria Mr. (169 d, e) is a very common lepidopteron being above and beneath unicoloured velvety aria. 
blackish-brown; its range extends from Sikkim through the whole of India to Ceylon, the Andamans, Indo- 
China, and Sumatra, and also to Nias, as well as through Southern China to Hongkong, where I met numbers 
of the species yet in November. — pulla Plotz (169 e), the Javanese form, flying also in Bali, is slightly pulla. 
larger, with more tapering wings; otherwise hardly separable; similar is the Philippinic form neglecta Mab. neglecta. 
flying from Mindanao to Palawan. — The larva is whitish with a yellow head, slightly marked with black on 
the mouth; it lives on bamboo. — The imagines preferably visit the blossoms of Lantana hybrida and always 
sit with their wings erect, their red eyes being distinctly prominent. The red colour of the eyes is often yet 
preserved in the dead insect. 
M. druna Mr. (169 e) is chiefly separated from aria by the bright yellow fringes of the hindwings, druna. 
but otherwise very closely allied to aria. Sikkim, Assam, Andamans, Borneo, Sumatra. — Some authors place 
the Javanese form pulla to this species, not to aria. 
M. purpurascens Elw. & Edw. (169 e). Here the fringes of the hindwings are still broader and brighter purpums- 
orange-yellow. All the wings suffused with a dull violet reflection. Fore wing beneath in the anal portion 
brighter whitish. From the Khasia Hills and Pegu.
