196 SCOPULA. By L. B. Proitt. 
Kwanhsien by Sterneck but that in any case the following is probably only a form of it. okinawensis Prout 
(20 h), founded on a single $ (not “A”, as misprinted in the original description), is white, with extremely fine 
grey irroration, the markings, excepting the postmedian, more or less weak, the antemedian and median obsolete 
anteriorly. Without more material 1 cannot differentiate it definitely from the Japanese specimens; in describing 
it I overlooked the close connection. Okinawa. Riu-kiu Islands. 
S. farinaria Leech (Suppl.-Vol. 4, pi. 5 a) is larger and more strongly marked than coniaria , with thicker 
and more irregular lines, somewhat transitional in appearance, or at least in the bluish grey tinge, to name- 
typical submutata Tr. or Glossotrophia conjinaria of the Palaearctic Region, but without blackish costal spots. 
The unique type is a $ from Cliia-ting-fu. 
S. luridata Z. (Vol. 4. pi. 4 e) distracta Butl. (20 h) is a dirtier-looking form of this very widely distributed 
species, heavier dark irroration obscuring the sandy colour of the markings and giving to it a dull grey-brownish 
tone; median shade generally heavy, especially about the fold. Described from Karachi, known also from Ajmere 
and perhaps Mhow (in a still darker form), but little notice has yet been taken of it in the not very attractive 
collecting-localities in which it occurs. From Peshawar I have almost typical luridata. — sternecki Prout ( = cliin- 
ensis Sterneck, nom. praeocc.) (see Suppl.-Vol. 4, p. 39), with vertex clean white, collar red-brown, cell-dot of 
hindwing more distal to the median line, underside better marked than in the type form, with the cell-dots 
and postmedian line well visible, the latter even quite conspicuous on the hindwing, is probably a separate 
species. Chiefly Palaearctic: Corea (type) and Pekin; but recorded also from Omei-shan. 
S. isomerica Prout. 23 mm. Recalls effrenata (20 h), but the A hindtarsus is as long as the tibia; rather 
round-winged, with hindwing faintly crenulate and appreciably bent at 3rd radial, rather less dark than effrenata, 
antemedian line of forewing without the second well-marked angle outward (i. e. the one behind the cell), sub- 
terminal line not thickened into whitish spots proximally, on the other hand with very noticeable dark shades 
between it and the postmedian at these positions; hindwing beneath rather paler or better marked. Formosa: 
Chosokei. the type d'; Kanslrirei. a rather larger, more weakly marked $. 
S. fibulata Guen. (= cleoraria $ Walk., err. det.) (20 h). At first sight closely like some forms of cleoraria, 
but easily distinguished from it and its closest allies by the uninterrupted terminal line, which is continued 
r ound the apex, as in the Palaearctic submutata. Tr. (Vol. 4. p. 64). Antenna of the A with the ciliation 
on little longer than diameter of shaft: tarsus nearly as long as tibia. Ceylon (the type). India, Burma. Tonkin 
and Hainan. 
S. cleoraria Walk. (= coenosaria Butl., nec Led.) (Suppl.-Vol. 4, pi. 4 i). Antennal ciliation longer than 
in fibulata , hindtarsus shorter (little over % tibia). Similar in size, or a trifle larger. The typical race of N. W. 
India is lighter grey than the following. effrenata Walk. (20h)is a rather large, dark, commonly more strongly 
marked form, of very common occurrence in Sikkim, Assam and parts of the Malay Peninsula; type from Bhotan. 
Among the Malayan there are probably further races awaiting differentiation; thus my specimens from 
Pahang, though at least as dark as the Assamese, are appreciably less brownish and are very strongly marked, 
while those of Kedah Peak are less dark, of a somewhat glossy b 1 u i s h grey and relatively weakly marked. 
S. scialophia Prout (20 h). Colouring nearly as in fibulata, A hindleg about as in cleoraria, antennal 
joints projecing somewhat less than in that. Characterized by a large darkish hair-tuft at the base of the 
J abdomen beneath. Only known from the Khasis. 
S. tsekuensis Prout (Suppl.-Vol. 4, pi. 6 g) is much like large, well-marked cleoraria, the collar similarly 
without darkening. Antennal shaft fairly thick, with the fascicles over 1, but less long than in cleoraria. Hind- 
tibia of the A long, with strong white pencil, tarsus little over V 2 . Forewing with costal spots rather strong, 
postmedian somewhat more deeply sinuous and denticulate than in cleoraria, etc. Tseku, N. Yunnan. 
S. subtracta Prout (Suppl.-Vol. 4, pi. 4 k). Smaller (length of a forewing 10 or 11 mm). Collar dark 
brown — a ready distinction from its nearest relatives; otherwise similar to a small, greyish cleoraria-, costal 
spots scarcely developed, fringe irrorated to the base (in cleoraria with a whitish basal line). Antenna of the A 
with fascicles of cilia at least twice as long as diameter of shaft; tarsus nearly as long as tibia. Simla (loc. typ.) 
Sabathu and Masuri. 
S. intensata Moore (20 li). Hindtibia of the not very much thickened, but with a long hair-pencil, 
tarsus not abbreviated. Wings rather glossy, yet presenting somewhat of the dusted appearance of coniaria-, 
cell-marks weak; all the transverse markings, especially on the forewing, forming lines rather than shades; post¬ 
median finely dentate; subterminals close to termen, the proximal one on the forewing almost straight, the 
distal one indefinite. $ greyer. Ceylon. ochriata subsp. nov. In both sexes paler, the lines less sinuous (though 
the postmedian of the forewing remains markedly dentate); antemedian of forewing perhaps rather more oblique.
