XANTHORHOE. By L. B. Prout. 
200 
X. callisthenes Prout (25 h). Structure and wing-shape about as in hedyphaes, apical dash and terminal callisthenen. 
markings similar. Variable, but always with more or less strong rufous suffusions; median band of forewing 
broad, notably in anterior half, antemeclian line only gently curved, central part of band generally pale. Under¬ 
side strongly rufous-tinged with black cell-spots, otherwise weakly marked. $ more uniformly rufous. Manusela, 
with the preceding. — ^-ab. albifusa Prout is a very beautiful aberration, with the pale parts almost clear white, albifusa. 
X. ludifica Warr. (25 g). Palpus moderate. Pectinations of the $ antenna long. A glossy species, but ludifica. 
with less brightly coloured forewing than either of the three preceding. Variable; hindwing in both sexes whitish 
or pale above, more suffused and better marked beneath; forewing in the $ with median band dark, at least 
at its borders, and sharply (sometimes rather broadly) bordered with white; in the $ more sombrely and uni¬ 
formly coloured; median band with the central projection in its distal part quite weale, especially in the <$. 
Locally common in the mountains of E. Java up to 9000 feet. — $-ab. incognita Warr. is the ordinary, almost incognita. 
unicolorous form of the $, merely with the edges of the median band and the subterminal line a little paler. 
Name-typical $$ (i. e. with the coloration of the only with the median band broader) are quite rare. 
X. nubilosa Warr. (25 li). Possibly, as Warren supposed, a remarkable dimorph of the preceding, nubilosa. 
together with which it is generally taken; but amongst very large numbers I have not found a single example 
that links them. Band of forewing shaped more as in callisthenes, much broader anteriorly than posteriorly, 
commonly with a slight additional projection distad just before it begins to narrow ; its white edgings slight. Very 
variable as regards the filling-in of the band, which may be complete and intense or slighter, or confined to broad 
or narrow ante- and postmedian stripes, which may be confluent behind the median vein; more rarely the whole 
wing is suffused, though with the band darker than the rest. - klossi subsp. nov. (25 h). Greyer, especially klossi. 
on the hindwing; antemedian of forewing straighter, postmedian perhaps scarcely so strongly lobed, postmedian 
of the hindwing, on the other hand, somewhat more sharply bent than in n. nubilosa. Korintji, W. Sumatra 
(Robinson and Kloss) 2 and 1 $ at 7300 feet; also 2 larger $$ (35 to 30 mm) from Sungei Kumbang, in 
the same district, at 10 000 feet. 
X. pratti Prout (25 h). Structure as in hedyphaes, from which it differs as follows. Forewing nowhere pratti. 
clear green, only in the subbasal and the narrow band beyond the postmedian shaded with brownish olive; 
basal patch more uniformly mixed with red-brown, less deeply indented; an ill-defined band in the succeeding 
area; median band shaped more nearly as in callisthenes, or as in ludifica, its colour less variegated than in hedy¬ 
phaes ; white subterminal line continuous, though rather irregular, accompanied by irregular brown shadings 
and between the radials proximally by vel[-developed black spots; terminal line broken into pairs of sharply 
black dots. Manusela, Central Ceram, 2 pairs, the larger (34—35 mm), slightly darker, the band of the fore- 
wing considerably broader. 
X. dissociata Warr. (25 h). Another variable species, rather large, the palpus longish-moderate, the dissociata. 
pectinations long, the median band moderate in the <$, very broad in the Luzon. In the type form the median 
band is reddish, the lines well developed. — In ab. nigrimedia Warr. the lines are evanescent, the median band nigrimedia. 
black-brown. - In ab. ruptifascia Warr. the forewing is wholly dull reddish brown, the lines faintly darker, ruptifascia. 
the band brown-shaded towards costa, with a black horizontal blotch across it in front of the median and a 
smaller, less complete one behind the submedian; transitions occur. 
X. simplicata Prout (25 h). Antenna pectinate (only the stumps remaining). Apparently intermediate simplicata. 
between callisthenes and subidaria, nearer to the former except in its small size. Forewing pale grey, the mark¬ 
ings fuscous, mixed with red and black; median band, as in callisthenes, considerably broader anteriorly than 
posteriorly, the first postmedian line similarly very oblique outward from costa and sharply bent subcostally. 
Hindwing above and both wings beneath with rather large cell-dot; and weak v r aved lines. Burn: Gamoe 
Mrapat, 5000 feet, only the type $ known. 
X. everetti Warr. ( = roseopicta Warr.) (25 i). Suggestive of the Palaearctic Cidaria cupreata H.-Sch., everdti . 
though with more of the Xanthorhoe facies and with well (moderately) pectinate $ antenna. $ rather larger 
with more uniformly lined median area. Celebes. I have sunk roseopicta, which is not even an aberration though 
(being in good condition) its rosy flush is rather more noticeable. 
X. sodaliata Walk. (= divisata Walk., urbana Meyr.) (25 i $). Very near subidaria. of which it Avas sodaliata . 
formerly supposed to be a $ form, this being the more easily differentiated sex. It differs form $ subidaria in 
its almost uniform dark suffusion. The J [divisata), as Turner says, “has a uniformly dark median band on 
the forewing, without brown or purplish tinge, vfiiile the terminal area is paler or even whitish”. I beliewe a 
further synonym is multifilaria Walk. (Tasmania, as “ Panagra” !), but the type $ is rubbed and weakly marked 
and will need to be subjected to a more thorough examination, sodaliata is distributed from N. Queensland to
