Section D. Forewing with apex less pointed, distal marghi generally more prominent at 1st radial, hind angle sharp. 
Hindwing broad, with tail or strong angle at 3rd radial. Markings purple-brown (Chloroglyphica Warr.). 
H. variegata Btlr. (10 a). A pretty species, the bands well defined, narrowing anteriorly, somewhat 
mixed with white. Antennal pectinations short. Described from Dharmsala, known also from Sabathu, 
Murree, etc., and from the Khasis. 
H. glaucochrista Prout (Suppl. 4, pi. 1 a). Rather larger, the basal patch wanting, the bands narrowed 
to dentate, white-edged lines. Antennal pectinations still shorter. Tibet: Vrianatong. — grearia Oberth. Sub¬ 
terminal spots better developed, hindwing beneath whiter, with a narrower, well-defined green border. Tse- 
kou; also from Yunnan. 
H. hypoleuca Hmpsn. (= flaminiaria Oberth.) (Suppl. 4, pi. 1 c). Distal margin of forewing at 1st radial 
less prominent than in the two preceding, the purple-brown markings broad and irregular, macular. Hindwing 
beneath white with a minute cell-dot and with a border anteriorly purple-brown, posteriorly green. Founded 
on a ^ from Hsipaw, Upper Burma, but Oberthur’s <$<$ from Tsekou show no sign of racial difference. 
Antennal pectinations about as in glaucochrista. 
H. xeromeris sp. n. (10 a). Forewing similarly shaped to that of hypoleuca, distal margin more curved; 
dark marking on anterior part of fringe reduced; a conspicuous brown, black-mixed cell-spot, with a minute 
whitish pupil near its proximal side; maculation much as in hypoleuca or more ample subterminally (probably 
rather variable); traces of irregularly zigzag ante- and postmedian whitish lines, the latter developing a distinct 
white lunule at the fold. Hindwing rather broader than in hyjpoleuca, the tail rather blunt, the markings similar. 
Forewing beneath nearly as above, but rather more blurred; hindwing nearly as in hypoleuca, but not quite 
so white. S. W. Sumatra: N. Korintji Valley, 5000 feet, September to October 1921 (Pratt brothers), type 
in coll. Joicey. Malay Peninsula: Kedah Peak. 
H. maculata Warr. (10 a) is a large species, with the dark cloudings weak, formed of purple-grey 
dusting, the lines broad and white, almost straight. Underside whitish green, with deeper green borders, 
that of the forewing marked with the dark clouding, that of the hindwing clear but narrow. Khasis. 
36. Genus: Taiiaorliiims Btlr. 
As already pointed out in Vol. 4, p. 16, where the principal characters are given, this is scarcely more 
than a subgenus of Hipparchus, with more or less strongly falcate apex; Sect. C and II. smaragdus and sinoi- 
saria are to some extent intermediate. India to China and Japan and to New Guinea. 
Section A. Large, opaque dark green, distal margins smooth, apex sometimes strongly produced (Tanaorhinus). 
T. reciprocata Walk. (= dimissa Walk.) (10 b) is at least as large as unipuncta, in shape and markings above 
more like kina but lighter, more bice-green, the underside simple, green, with brown cell-dot and outer line, 
on the hindwing also some slight (in rare aberrations strong) outer maculation. N. India and S. China. The 
Palaearctic form confuciaria Walk., scarcely differentiable, has been described and figured in Vol. 4. 
T. kina Swinh. (10 b). Apex of forewing slightly more produced than in reciprocata, anal angle of hind¬ 
wing showing beginnings of the lobe which develops in rafflesi and unipuncta. Underside lighter green, on 
hindwing mixed with yellow, forewing with a dark-brown cell-spot, both wings with an irregular subterminal 
series of spots. The sexes are similar. Only known from the Khasis and Burma. 
T. rafflesi is a geographically and sexually variable species. Both sexes are of nearly the same deep 
green above as kina, but with much more strongly falcate apex and very different markings, the $ often much 
larger than the <$. Beneath, the $$ have much more extended reddish colouring than the <$<$, leaving little 
of the green colouring excepting a narrow post median band. viridiluteata Walk. (10 b). q generally rather 
large, forewing beneath with the costal violet suffusion ample, reddish blotch at hind angle large, border of 
hindwing broad and solid. $ beneath with the postmedian band pale yellow-green. Sikkim, Assam, Upper 
Burma and Hainan. — rafflesi Moore (= luteoviridata Walk., subignata Walk., basaliata Walk.). not or 
scarcely larger than kina , forewing beneath with the costal violet shade and the reddish tornal blotch reduced, 
the latter sometimes wanting, hinclwing with the subterminal band much reduced, macular or at least in the 
middle strongly constricted. $ beneath with the postmedian band more inclining to glaucous grey. The type 
of rafflesi was from Sumatra, but the form is general also in the Malay Peninsula, Java and Borneo and single 
specimens which I have seen from Iviukiang, Formosa and Luzon do not seem to differ. — ab. imperialis ah. nov. 
is a local aberration from Kinabalu, with the border of the hindwing beneath as in viridiluteata or darker, 
tornal blotch of forewing strong, dark purple, a purple-grey subterminal line developed anteriorly to it, the 
costal violet shade extended posteriorly and distally, reaching the postmedian litre. — dohertyi subsp. nov. 
not darker green than in viridiluteata, size as in rafflesi, costal violet beneath reduced to irroration. tornal 
blotch strong, postmedian line of forewing strong, dark-red (in the other races more brown or olivaceous),
