DINDICA. By L. B. Prout.

T. varicoloraria Moore (8 g). More varied with greenish than vigens, the cell-spot of the forewing 
rather broad and diffuse, the blackish lines generally accompanied by pale ones on their reverse sides. For 
further distinctions, see above. North India (type), Perak and Sumatra. 
T. rubroviridata Warr. (8 g). Smaller than varicoloraria, redder, the lines thicker, the postmedian 
more zigzag, the body with blacker crests, the wings beneath more yellowish, with broader submarginal bands. 
Described from Penang, also known from Selangor and Borneo. 
T. differens Warr. has somewhat the aspect of Dindica virescens Btlr. (Vol. 4, pi. 1 g), having a 
pinkish tinge in the pale parts. Antemedian line of forewing extremely oblicpie, dentate, postmedian acutely 
angled outward on middle, then incurved and dentate; a pinkish subapical patch. Hindwing paler than forewing. 
Subterminal band beneath reduced to a line. Kulu. 
T. thyatiraria Oberth. (8 g) is a pretty species, evidently related to differens but with extended 
pink subterminal patch, the coloration recalling — as Oberthur says — the well-known Thyatira batis. 
Antemedian line curved, not oblique outward. Chinese Tibet. 
T. paroptila Turn, is unknown to me, but perhaps belongs here. 46 mm. Brownwhitish, with sparse 
blackish strigulae on costa and veins; lines reddish brown; antemedian of forewing nearly straight, oblique 
outward, postmedian straight anteriorly, incurved and dentate on the veins posteriorly; lines of hindwing 
less defined. Underside in part washed with dull reddish, leaving a white postmedian costal area on fore wing 
and a larger, less defined area on hindwing; cell-spot of forewing large, of hindwing smaller; submarginal bands 
broad. Atherton, N. Queensland. 
T. apicalis Moore (5 d) provides a transition to the group Dindicodes, but the abdominal crests are 
not quite so large and the wing-shape and scheme of markings associate it with Lophophelma. Very distinct 
in the bright golden-yellow underside, which only becomes white in a small subcostal patch beyond the cell- 
spot of the forewing. Cell-spot of both wings beneath large, black borders broad, enclosing some white spots 
at distal margin. $ larger. Darjiling (type) and the Khasis. 
G. Antenna in very shortly pectinate. Thorax and abdomen strongly crested. Hindwing and underside 
yellow, spotted; hindwing with costal margin rarely shortened, its apex rarely rounded off ( Dindicodes Prout). 
T. crocina Btlr. (8 h) approaches the preceding group in the shape of the hindwing, but is otherwise 
similar to leopardinata. Forewing beneath with a white half-band outside the cell-spot, followed posteriorly 
by a large black spot which is confluent with a black distal band. Hindwing above and beneath with a charac¬ 
teristic black subterminal mark from apex to radial fold. Sikkim. 
T. molleri Warr. (Vol. 4, pi. lg, as leopardinata ) (5c). Close to leopardinata, rather larger and darker, 
the postmedian line of the forewing rather more distally placed, the whitish subterminal spots in part obsolete; 
hindwing with the first two submarginal spots well separated, the cell-spot on an average rounder, the smoky 
suffusions of abdominal margin generally weaker. Both wings beneath less mixed with white in terminal area. 
Sikkim. Also from Assam and Upper Burma. 
T. davidaria Pouf. (Vol. 4, p. 13, pi. 3 c), from Mou-pin, is still unknown to me, but is very probably 
a race of molleri, with smaller black spots and clearer distal margin to the hindwing. The white subterminal 
spots of the fore wing seem as well developed as in leopardinata. Forewing beneath not (as in molleri and leopardi¬ 
nata) blackened behind the cell. 
T. leopardinata Moore. Forewing with a scarcely interrupted reddish band proximally to the sub¬ 
terminal. Hindwing with the first two submarginal spots confluent. Further distinctions are given under 
molleri. N. India: Sikkim and Bhutan. Also from Yatung, Tibet, erroneously introduced into Vol. 4. 
T. euclidiaria Oberth. (8 g) is perhaps a race of leopardinata. Forewing above very similar. Hind¬ 
wing and underside clearer yellow, with the dark subterminal band less broad, interrupted. Chinese Tibet: 
Tse-kou, only known to me from Oberthur’s figure. 
T. vigil Prout. Underside nearly as in euclidiaria, both wings dark-mixed at distal margin, the hindwing 
more broadly whitish at abdominal margin. Fore wing above with the ground-colour of euclidiaria but without red 
markings; the shade around the cell-spot large, roundish, grey, with a black dash in front of it; the lines marked 
by dots on the veins, the antemedian with a black spot at costa and curved mark at hindmargin. Hindwing 
broadly white at abdominal margin; the subterminal band anteriorly as in euclidiaria, posteriorly forming 
a large spot between the median veins. Upper Burma: Hpimaw Fort.

Differs from Terpna, subgenus Dindicodes, in the tufted face, posteriorly tufted thorax and exaggerated 
abdominal crests.
