in the proximal part; the first line wanting, the middle one weakened. Pairly common in the Khasis. — tri- 
lineata Warr. (15 e). from Sikkim, is much less reddish ochreous. Known also from the X. W. Himalayas. 
T. curvata Warr. (15 e). Smaller, duller in tone, the lines dull reddish, the subterminal much less sinuous 
than in prasonaria, on the hindwing somewhat nearer the distal margin. Underside with the lines present, 
fairly distinct. British Bhotan: Buxa, 1 possibly an aberration or local form of the preceding species. 
T. orientis Prout (= trilineata Leech , nec Warr., bisinuata Prout olim, nec Warr.) (Vol. 4. pi. 7 a). 
Forewing with apex less acute than in prasonaria ; further distinguishable by the light yellowish brown ground¬ 
colour, fuscous irroration, curved antemedian line and development of postmedian and terminal dark shades 
on the forewing. Founded on a from Che-tu. W. China. 3360 m. 
3. Genus: IMscoglypha Warr. 
Differs from the two preceding genera in that the $ antenna is not quadripectinate, but quadrifasci- 
culate, the pairs of fascicles either equal in length (the genotype and some others) or consisting of a long and 
a short fascicle (as in hampsoni)-, hindtibia of the tufted and with a stout terminal spur, hindtarsus usually 
with the 1st joint dilated and fringed with hair; forewing with the 2nd subcostal arising from the stalk of the 
3rd to 5th. Really much nearer to Organopoda, as is shown not only by the external structure but by the wing- 
markings and by the genitalia; perhaps merely a section thereof, though the palpus there is generally long, 
here rather short and there are a few other small differences, noted under Organopoda. India, purely endemic, 
indeed apparently confined to the N. E. Himalayas except that one species ( hampsoni ) is known from Ceylon. 
D. hampsoni Swinh. (15 e). Cell-mark of hindwing consisting of 2 white dots, one on 2nd discocellular, 
the other on 3rd, separated by some dark scaling; the forewing — which, indeed, is monotonously alike in nearly 
all Discoglypha and Organopoda — shows nothing particularly distinctive, though the colour may be a little 
more uniformly reddish brown than usual, the lines not very sharply expressed. Khasis (type) and Ceylon. 
D. punctimargo Hmps. (15 e). Larger, generally less warmly coloured, always with a conspicuous series 
of terminal white vein-dots, which afford a good recognition-mark for the species. Hindwing with a large and 
irregular grey cell-mark. Sikkim (type) and the Khasis. Also a smaller, more hampsoni-coloured $ from Buxa, 
British Bhotan. 
D. sanguinata Warr. (=- sanguinatus Hmps.) (15 e), described as an Organopoda, but with short palpus, 
is recognizable by its yellow colour, dull red suffusions and blackish spots, notably the paired dark subterminal 
spots between the radials. and the large roundish black cell-spots. I know only Warren's type, a $ from the 
Khasis. 
D. variostigma Warr. ( = plenorbis Warr., M. S.) (15f). Forewing very similar to that of hampsoni, a 
trifle more ochreous and with more noticeable pale (somewhat yellowish) subterminal spots between the veins; 
cell-spot of hindwing large and round, white with a black rim. Khasis. — ab. implenorbis ah. nov. has this spot 
irregularly filled with blackish, leaving only a few pale-grey (not white) scales. 
D. inflammata Warr. ( inflammatus Hmps.) (15 f). More blotchy in appearance, parts being suffused 
with dark grey, while clear broad streaks of the bright reddish ground-colour remain along both folds; similarly 
clear subterminal spots; black lines intenser, antemedian of forewing straighter. Hindwing: cell-mark large, 
with a pointed projection outward, white edged with black. Khasis. 
D. locupletata Prout (15f). Closely like aureifloris (15f), but with the more blotchy appearance of in¬ 
flammata ; the smaller than the latter. Forewing with the lines in general somewhat thicker than in aurei¬ 
floris, an irregular series of yellow subterminal spots distinct, the one behind the 3rd radial the largest and 
roundest. Hindwing with the cell-mark very pale golden (in some lights almost silvery), not marked with the 
ground-colour and yellow as in aureifloris . Khasis. 
D. aureifloris Warr. (15f). Typically the darkest Discoglypha and with a large cell-mark on the hind¬ 
wing. variegated in its centre and, as Warren says, “resembling a flower with its stalk". Khasis. — ab. (loc.?) 
parvifloris Prout is slightly paler and more rufous-tinged, the hindwing with the cell-mark smaller, only ex¬ 
tending along (approximately) the middle half of the 2nd—3rd discocellular, narrow, marked with orange- 
ochreous, the distal projection along the 3rd radial small or almost wanting. Sikkim: Darjiling. I described 
it as a race, but have since seen a closely similar $ from the Khasis.
