wing wdth red-brown median band, bright orange-brown inner band and subterminal shades, the latter strongly 
developed beneath. Except in the width of the median band not particidarly variable. — ab. melidiata Feld, is melidiatu. 
a somewhat extreme $ form, the type from Lahul; rather large, median band broadened, hindwing above rather 
dark as far as the postmedian, conspicuously white beyond. — subangulata inhabits N. W. India and Afghanistan ; 
it was described from Masuri. - antigonia Prout (? ab. loc., ? sp. div.) (Suppl.-Vol. 4, pi. 18 1). Likewise mod- antigonia. 
erately broad-bancled, even in the <$, but distinguished by its more angular markings. Underside with the orange- 
brown outer band generally less developed, at least posteriorly, than in the latter, but not so nearly suppressed 
as in the former. Kashmir, especially at Gulmarg, the type locality. 
E. goniodes Prout (27 1). Intermediate between subangulata and mediovittaria, with nearly the tone of goniodes. 
the latter, but with the postmedian angled, approaching that of subangulata. Fore- and midleg slightly darker 
than in mediovittaria, forewing very slightly more produced, hindwing rather straighter-margined between the 
costal and the 2nd radial; ochreous tints less pronounced. Chumbi Valley (loc. typ.) and Yatong, Sikkim- 
Tibet; also Kashmir. 
E. mediovittaria Moore (27 1). Recognizable by the almost straight postmedian line of the forewing, mediovitta- 
Hindwing above whitish, very feebly marked. Sikkim. — azonaria Oberth. (Vol. 4, pi. 9 b) apparently represents r - rm ' 
mediovittaria in W 7 . China. It differs very little except that the hindwing is less whitish and less weakly marked. 
E. cinnamifusa sp. n. (27 1) at first sight recalls rather large and dark, broad-banded subangulata but cinnamifusa. 
the differences are numerous and obvious. Antenna of the $ shortly ciliated (nearly y 2 ) instead of simple. Fore¬ 
wing with the area between basal and median bands more heavily lined, the brown intermediate band fairly 
broad, but neither bright nor clean-cut; antemedian line curved; very characteristic orange-cinnamon suffusions 
developed about the cell-dot and on a great part of the subterminal area, especially as two broad longitudinal 
patches about the folds; central projection of postmedian obtuse. Underside less brightly coloured than in 
subangulata, more like that of Xanthorhoe castanea. Kashmir: Gulmarg, 10—30 June 1931 and (1 <$, not very 
fresh) on 20 July (T. B. Fletcher), 3 and 5 $$ in the British Museum. 
E. torpidaria Leech (Vol. 4, pi. 7 i). Founded on a $ from Mu-pin, not obviously related to any known torpidaria. 
Euphyia, possibly an Entephria. Palpus rather long, antenna finely ciliated; anal tuft strong; wings strongly 
glossy, 2nd radial of hindwing not arising quite so far forward as in most Euphyia. 
E. unangulata Flaw. (Vol. 4, pi. 10 b) chinensis Sterneck. “Basal area of forewing concolorous with chinensis. 
median band, black-brown, the distal boundary of the band between 3rd radial and 1st median not produced 
to a sharp point but only bluntly bowed. Distal area entirely dark-grey, the waved subterminal line therein 
narrowly white. The inner edge of the disal area sharply defined' 7 , parallel with the postmedian. Basal area 
of hindwing as far as the postmedian unicolorous dark-grey. Differs from luctuosaria Oberth. (Suppl.-Vol. 4, 
pi. 15 c) in the smaller, more rounded protuberance of the postmedian, the more sinuous inner edge of the distal 
area, the dark basal area of the hindwing and the lack of the white spot in the distal area of the forewing 
beneath. Ta-tsien-lu, 3 Unknown to me. 
E. coangulata Prout (= subangulata Stgr., nec Roll.) (see Vol. 4, p. 247) is said to be longer-winged coangulata. 
than unangulata, the dark parts more brownish, the outward projection of the median band more strongly 
produced, the distal area less darkened. Mongolia. Mentioned here because Sterneck provisionally refers to 
it a pair from Sunpanting, W. China, which are very similar to picata Hbn. (Vol. 4, pi. 10 b) except that the 
postmedian is not dentate as in that species and especially in its Chinese representative ochreata, but almost 
smooth, excepting the single, strong central projection. 
E. ochreata Moore (Suppl.-Vol. 4, pi. 15 h). Apparently a very rare species, only known from the ochreata. 
Darjiling originals. As its affinities are evidently with the genotypical Palaearctic group, we have figured in 
that fauna the $ paratype kindly lent by the Berlin Museum. Hindwing and underside darker than any other 
of the group. Large (33 to over 35 mm); proximal area of forewing rather indistinctly marked excepting some 
costal maculation, basal patch incomplete; median and distal areas much as in picata, but with the postmedian 
more jagged and the white subterminal spots larger and rounder, not at all lunulate. - - brunneimixta Th.-Mieg brunnei- 
( = picata Leech, nec Hbn.) (Suppl.-Vol. 4, pi. 15 c) may be a smaller and less dark race of ochreata, but I am 
inclined to expect that anatomical research will show it a distinct species. In any case distinct from both picata 
and submarginata, notably in the shape of the “costal arm" in the £ genitalia. In the wing markings separable 
from picata by the more strongly dentate postmedian and paler, weakly marked subbasal area and hindwing. 
Thierry-Mieg’s differentiation by the denser and b r o w n (not green) wavy markings which traverse the 
white area of the forewing and their tendency to consolidate into a rather strong brown suffusion about the 
mixta.
