DERAMBILA. By L. B. Prout. 
and browner than in dentifera but less macular and more uniform than in satelliata, runs straight from the 
black spot to the middle fo the hindmargin, whereas in the other forms it is irregular and sinuous. 
B. Section: Hindwing with 2nd subcostal not stalked. H i n d t i b i a in ^ greatly 
dilated, fringed and containing a brown hair-pencil, the tarsus abbreviated. 
Antennal ciliation of $ long. 
D. zincaria is the most widely distributed species of the section and is perhaps separable into two races, 
though occasionally aberrations of the first closely resemble the second race. — zincaria Guen. has the zincaria. 
black cell-spots nearly rounded, on the forewing moderate or small, on the hindwing generally small. The 
spots of the postmedian line are also on an average rather smaller than in the eastern forms. Described from 
Borneo, known to me also from Penang. A form somewhat intermediate towards the following inhabits Pala¬ 
wan, Balabac and Sula and may be expected from Celebes. — melagonata Walk. (3 c) has a slightly more melagonata. 
brownish tinge, is often more heavily marked and is especially characterized by the large triangular cell-dots. 
Moluccas, Aru and Mysol. 
D. candidissima Prout (5 b) is perhaps another race of zincaria, though the antennal ciliation scarcely candidissi- 
looks so long. Much purer white, the markings grey rather than brown, reduced to dots on the veins, the cell- ma • 
spot of the forewing even larger, that of the hindwing small. British and German New Guinea, Dampier, 
Rook and Goodenough Islands. 
D. permensata Walk. (= guttilinea Walk.). Nearest to candidissima (5 b) in the punctiform lines, but permensata. 
the postmedian is rather nearer to the distal margin. Cell-dot of both wings very small. Java to Tenimber, 
according to Walker also from Australia. 
C. Section: Hindwing w i t li 2nd subcostal s t a 1 k e d. 
D. lunienaria Hb.-Gey. (= ochreicostalis Hmps.) (3 c). Larger than the following species, the antennal lumenaria. 
ciliation of the $ minute. Further distinguished by the broad brown tinge at the costal margin of the forewing. 
Widely distributed in India, China, the Malay Peninsula and the Greater Sunda Islands. According to Snellen 
also on Celebes. 
D. costata Warr. is apparently a very rare species. Antennal ciliation as in saponaria (3 c). A little costafa. 
larger than that species, the costal margin darkened but only narrowly, the other markings weak. Assam and 
Upper Burma. Possibly a local form of saponaria. 
D. infelix Swinh. (3 c) is also rare and imperfectly known. Perhaps merely a form of saponaria (3 c) with infelix. 
the markings almost obsolete. Poona. 
D. saponaria Guen. (= zanclopterata Walk.) (3 c). Antenna of $ with fascicles of long fine cilia. Wings saponaria. 
snow-white, rather more opaque than in the three preceding, the black cell-dot of the forewing of medium size, 
the irregular brown transverse markings well expressed. Widely distributed but local. Specimens are before 
me from Ceylon, S. India, Lower Burma, Penang, Banka Island, N. Borneo and Palawan. — fragilis Bull, is fragilis. 
a form from Formosa with the lines — especially the antemedian -— less dissolved into spots. 
D. adaucta Prout differs from saponaria (3 c) in having all the markings larger, including a conspicuous adauda. 
dorsal black spot on the abdomen near its base. Distal margin of forewing more convex than in saponaria. Only 
known from Ceylon. 
D. catharina Prout (5 b) differs from saponaria in having all the markings smaller, the transverse caiharina. 
lines and on the hinclwing the cell-dot grey, not brown. Described from Queensland, but quite similar forms 
occur from Bali to the Tenimber Islands. 
D. aetherialis Bull. (5 b). $ antennal ciliation still longer. Otherwise very similar to catharina but aetherialis. 
with the cell-spots larger, that of the hindwing browner. Solomon Islands. 
D. dentiscripta Bastelb. (= obiana Th.-Mieg) (3 c). Rather variable in size, the larger specimens dentiscripta. 
superficially resembling small lumenaria in their strong markings. It belongs, however, to the group with 
long antennal ciliation and probably represents strigicosta on the Moluccas. Costal margin of forewing irrorated 
with brown, but less strongly and uniformly than in lumenaria. Batjan and Obi. — sangirica subsp. nov. is sangirica. 
rather larger, the cell-dot of the forewing not quite so large in proportion, the brown markings at least as thick 
as in the most heavily-marked dentiscripta-, the antemedian line of the forewing is more obliquely placed and 
not curved, consequently reaching the costal margin further distad; the submarginal is not quite so close to the 
distal margin. Sangir, 3 in the Tring Museum.
