232 STERRHA. By L. B. Prout. 
the distal area between 3rd radial and 2nd median, the cell-dot small and concise, and the wing-shape itself 
is not so extreme. The A is not certainly known,, but a worn one which probably represents it has hair-pencils 
from the tibia extending for a distance along the tarsus. Khasis (type) to X. W. India. 
S. acuminata Moore should perhaps have been brought into immediate juxtaposition with castelli; the 
colour is somewhat brighter brown and the falcation of the forewing — especially in the type $ — is somewhat 
more extreme, the hindwing not sinuate between the radials; transverse lines weak or almost obsolete; the 
terminal line forms an irregularly broadened dark shade, instead of being connected with the postmedian by 
two longitudinal patches. Darjiling, type 9- expanding 23 mm. — form. (?) actiuncula nov. (23 f) is smaller 
(ca. 20 mm), less glossy, apex of forewing somewhat less produced, dark borders less broad, postmedian line 
posteriorly less irregular; vertex perhaps more whitish. Khasis (type A in the Tring Museum) to Htawgaw, 
Kachin Hills; possibly a separate species. <$ hindleg much as in castelli. 
S. rubridentata Warr. (23 f) combines the shape (almost) of acuminata with the gay colouring of flavi- 
sinnata or of Ghrysocrapeda. The short hindtarsus of the separates it structurally from flavisinuata ; further, 
the marginal yellow extends round the apex and the distal part of the costa. All the subcostals are stalked 
beyond the areole, which is often small. Khasis. — $-form. saturata nov. Colour dull purple-grey (little brighter 
than the “dark vinaceous-grey" of Ridgway) instead of the far more pink hue of the typical forms. 1 $ from 
Htawgaw (Upper Burma), in my collection; the only rubridentata. yet known from the district, but I do not 
anticipate that it will prove to be a race. 
S. ruptifascia Warr. (23 g). Deviates from all the foregoing "Janarda" (falcate-winged Sterrha) in the 
oblique, irregular pale fascia which, after running between the median and postmedian lines, turns outward 
to the termen along the costa. Khasis; Warren says “several" but I know only the type $ and, in the British 
Museum, 1 $ from Sikkim. 
S. carneofasciata Warr. Narrower-winged than iineata Hmps., to which it bears some resemblance. . 
postmedian more sinuous, hindwing with termen more concave between the radials, more prominent at 3rd 
radial to 1st median. Mt. Ardjoeno, E. Java, the type 9 unique. 
S. alopecodes Meyr. (23 1), founded on 1 $ taken at Geraldton, A Vest Australia in November, was 
unknown to Turner, but I am now able to figure the type. Expanse almost 16 mm. Head ochreous on crown, 
fillet broadly ochreous-white. Eorewing almost sufficiently narrow and pointed for a "-J anard.a." . though not 
actually falcate; whitish-ochreous, mixed with dirty ochreous; median line straightish. indistinct; postmedian 
well defined, almost straight, rather distally placed; a very indistinct dark subterminal shade; an interrupted 
terminal line. Hindwing narrow, apex broadly rounded, termen thereafter almost straight as far as an obtuse 
bend at the 1st median, the hind part of termen cut away so that it almost seems to become part of the ab¬ 
dominal margin; pale whitish ochreous, distally with some fuscous irroration; lines indistinct, parallel with 
margin. 
S. violacea Hmps. (23 g). The type of a genus Andragrupos, since abandoned. Its chief distinction is 
the curious contorted and pointed flap which in the A represents the outer part of the extremely short hind- 
margin and the end of the excessively oblique termen. There are perhaps several races; in the type, from the 
Nilgiris, the “flap " is acute and somewhat darkened, in the Sikkim specimens which I have seen blunter and 
more rufescent; in the Khasis there occurs a large form (here figured). Also recorded from Tonkin and Hainan 
and recently received from E. Java. The colour of the dark border varies from reddish or vinous to greyish 
brown, the latter colour belonging chiefly to £ forms. 
S. diphyes Prout (23 g). Evidently a specialized development of swinhoei (22 b). Antenna of y 1 dentate, 
fascicles of cilia well exceeding diameter of shaft; hindtibia rather short, broad and flattened, partly hollowed, 
with projecting scale-t-uft. Forewing rather broad in the ,J, narrower in the 9: hindwing in the q with a fringe 
of long buff hair from the proximal part of the costal margin extending obliquely across the broadened pale 
hind area of the underside of the forewing (on the middle of which stands a rough patch of bright buff 
specialized scaling), abdominal area folded and fringed. 9 darker, with hindwing concolorous throughout with 
forewing. Luzon. 
S. amplipennis Butl. (Vol. 4. pi. 7 c). Forewing of the A extraordinary broad, on account of the deve¬ 
lopment of an enormous lobe on the hindmargin; termen in consequence somewhat sinuous, but very little 
oblique. More ochreous than proximaria and protensa; dark distal shading little noticeable in the q. more so 
in the 9 but more diffused than in those species. Both sexes with the hindwing less strongly convex than in 
protensa. Dharmsala. only one of each sex yet known.
