RHAMNOSA. By Dr. M. Hering. 679 
terminate with 2 almost equally large lobes. From India through the Malay Archipelago to the Moluccas. - 
robusta subsp. nov. is a large race with an expanse of 30—38 mm, the transverse lines of the forewing extend 
almost parallel and neither approach each other much at the costal margin. Valves similar as in the Formosan 
race, but lateral appendages of uncus long, styloid-filiform. $ type from Siao-Lou, $ type from Phedong 
(Berlin State Museum). — pallida subsp. nov. has very pale yellow broader forewings, the tornus is less rounded 
and less projecting. The chitinized valve is almost plain, without an incrassation before the end, the lateral 
lobes of the uncus are short filiform. £ type from Tsekou (Berlin State Museum). — Larva green, with a yellow 
dorsal line and black spots encircled by orange; on banana, Gadamba and Guettarda. Cocoon brown, encased by 
white threads. 
C. obliqtiifascia Hmps. (86 e). Forewing whitish, suffused with orange, costal margin orange. An in¬ 
distinct orange band from beyond the cell to the centre of the inner margin, a curved postmedian line. 
Hindwing with an orange tint. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. India, Ceylon. 
C. siamensis Tams. $ very similar to C. sericea (86 d), but the margin is more rounded, the distal 
transverse line is parallel to the margin also in the anterior part of the forewing, thus incurved towards the 
costal margin, hindwing tan-yellow. Forewing beneath darker at the costal and distal margins, lighter below 
the cell and vein 2. Expanse of wings: 42 mm. Siam, in January. 
C. pulligonis Stvh. (86 e). <$ forewing dark violettish-brown, base, distal and inner margins yellowish, 
a yellowish spot at the cell-end, two brown transverse lines from the inner margin, meeting at the costal 
margin shortly before the apex, the interior one almost straight, the exterior one bent. Hindwing yellow. 
$ forewing red-brow r n, with 2 yellow 7 transverse lines convergent before the apex at the costal margin. Expanse 
of wings: 25—30 mm. North Kanara, in June. 
C. sfriola sp. n. (86 e) is easily distinguished from the preceding species by the two very much ap¬ 
proximated and quite parallel straight transverse stripes in the more brownish-yellow forewing in which the 
veins are brown. Hindwing ochreous. Expanse of wings: 25—30 mm. From Malacca, Sumatra, Java and 
Borneo. G type from the Kina-Balu (Berlin State Museum). 
13. Genus; Fixs. (Caniocles Mats., Rhamnopsis Mats.) 
Separated from the preceding genus by the y antenna being pectinated to the end, the forewing 
bearing a dent of scales in the centre of the inner margin. Fringe of hindwing prolonged at the interior angle 
and blackish. 
Rh. uniformis Swh. (= notodonta Hmps.) Forewing silky greyish ochreous, the exterior transverse 
line composed of black dots and terminating at the outside of the dent of scales. Hindwing somewhat lighter. 
30—35 mm. North India. — takamukui Mats, is similar, but smaller, 24—26 mm. Formosa. — To this species 
probably also belong the great number of specimens from Kwang-tung, captured by Dr. Mell on the lantern, 
a $ of which corresponds to those from North India and likewise exhibits tw r o black dots at the cell-end of 
the forewing, though it has brownish-red forewings and blackish-grey kind wings, so that the South-Chinese 
form may represent a separate race: rufina subsp. nov. (86 e). (Types in the Berlin State Museum). 
Rh. dentifera Her. & Hopp. (86 e). Forewing yellowish-grey, with 2 transverse through-lines, the 
exterior one in the place of the row of dots in uniformis and more brown, the interior one parallel, not reaching 
the costal margin, more blackish. The $ which was not described hitherto has brown forewings strewn with 
blackish atoms, the transverse lines distally bordered with light. Expanse of wings: 23 mm. type from 
Hupeh (in the British Museum). 
Rh. convergens sp. n. (86 e). Forewing silky brownish-grey, with 2 red-brown transverse lines which 
are parallel, but strongly convergent towards the costal margin, meeting before the apex. Hindwing and under 
surface scarcely lighter. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. Burma, y type from Hpare (in the British Museum) 
Rh. hatita Drc. F orewing pale yellowish-brown, darkest at the costal margin, 2 narrow brown trans¬ 
verse lines almost in the centre. Hindwing pale yellowish-brown, body pale brown. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. 
South China, Prov. of Hunan. — Owing to the insufficient description it cannot be diagnosed, it may belong 
to Cania. 
Rh. arizanella Mats, differs from uniformis in the line of dots of the forewing being replaced by a 
distinct transverse stripe; two dark spots at the cross-vein and a dark basal spot at the costal margin. Expanse 
of wings: 24 mm. Formosa, in July. 
Rh. angulafa Fixs. The nomenclatural race of this species originates from Korea. Its forewing is light 
yellow, with 2 almost parallel yellowish-brown transverse stripes. — It is replaced in South China by kwang- 
tungensis subsp. nov. (86 f) which is distinguished by the reddish-brown ground of the forewing. Hindwing 
light yellow as in the nomenclatural race. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Kwang-tung; numbers of it were captured 
on the lantern by Dr. Mell in-May and July till September. type from Lung-tao-shan (Berlin State Museum). 
The palaearctic form has been described in Vol. II, p. 342, and figured in Suppl. Vol. II.
