ALBARA. By W. Warren. 
469 
line. At the lower cell-angle a white spot. Hindwing with a curved proximal and median line, and a dull 
subterminal line ending in the anal angle. Under surface paler. Sikkim (North India). — The form from the 
Khasia Hills in Assam is invariably smaller and may be distinguished as subsp. flavilinea Leech (49 g, and 
Vol. II pi. 48 b) from China, from which it hardly differs except in the duller subterminal line. 
A. leucosticta Hmps. (49 g). Forewing mouse-coloured, the apical area white; distal line white, distally 
bordered with dark, before the margin on vein 7 acute-angular; veins behind the cell white, the interspaces 
likewise with white streaks; a fine straight subterminal line is white, the narrow marginal area behind it darker; 
fringes with a white basal line. Hindwing with a white median line, before it a short white line from the hind- 
margin to the cell. Under surface glossy greyish-white with a diffuse darker subterminal cloud; apex of forewing 
white. Khasia Hills (Assam). 
A. lilacina Mr. (49 h and Vol. II pi. 48 d). Forewing pale lilac grey, the proximal and distal lines 
chestnut-brown, below the costal margin distally acute-angular, then obliquely inwards and convergent towards 
the hind-margin; subterminal line of small crescents which are filled with dark; along the distal margin below 
the apex a rust-coloured cloud; costal margin in the basal half yellow, towards the apex broadly rust-coloured; 
on the discocellular a fine angular line. Hindwing with a chestnut brown proximal and distal line being only 
visible below the centre; costal-marginal area lighter. Dharmsala in the Penjab, from where the type originates; 
also from Sikkim. 
A. duplicafa sp. nov. (49 i). Forewing with a lilac grey hue, of the colouring of the darker lilacina 
from the Khasia Hills, but the lines are thicker, rust-brown, the proximal line strongly angled on the subcostal; 
costal-marginal area darker, the 3 spots longer and broader; distal line double, entirely shaded by a less distinct 
line, on the discocellular an angular dark line. On the hindwing the lines are only visible below the centre. 
4 1 $ from the Khasia Hills; type in the Tring Museum. 
A. simillima Mr. (49 i). Fore wing dingy greyish ochreous; the lines are rather much darker, but 
not prominent, alternately bordered with a light line, its position as in lilacina, proceeding from 2 dark costal- 
marginal spots; small subterminal lunae quite blurred and sometimes extinct, fringes above the centre brown; 
at the end of the discocellular 2 small dark dots, sometimes forming a line. On the hindwing the costal half 
is whitish, only the distal line distinct. 2 $$ and 5 <$$ from Sabathu (Penjab) corresponding with Moore’s 
type from Dharmsala. — It is a much smaller species than lilacina Mr. 
A. olivacea sp. nov. (49 h) resembles duplicata (49 i), which likewise originates from the Khasia Hills, 
by the double distal line, but also before the proximal line there is a nebulous line proceeding from a dark 
costal-marginal spot before the proximal line. This spot also occurs in duplicata, but it lacks a line proceeding 
from it. Ground-colour in olivacea more uniformly light, olive grey and along the costa and distal margin darkened 
by dark grey, not with a lilac grey hue as in duplicata. — A still lighter form of it is ab. pallidior ab.nov. (49 h, i) 
without darker powdering, the ground-colour being a clear greyish ochreous in the and whitish grey in the 
$; proximal line here not double. — Both the typical and aberrative forms exhibit on the discocellular a 
rust-brown angular line. In the Tring Museum there are 5 ? ? , 2 $$ of the typical form and 2 1 $ of 
the aberration, all from the Khasia Hills. 
A. violacea Btlr. (Vol. II pi. 48 d). Forewing dull violettish grey, costal margin yellowish-red; 
proximal line quite dull, distal line well marked, the yellowish-red not so oblique as in the other species, but 
reaching the costa far before the apex; fringes with light brown tips. In the hindwing the yellowish-red line 
has a median course; face brown. From Dharmsala in the Penjab. 
A. japonica Mr. (49 h and Vol. II, pi. 30 f) is similar to lilacina, but larger, the lines are thicker dark 
brown, on alternating sides margined with yellowish-red, the proximal line more oblique, the reddish-yellow 
colour extending along the costal margin to the distal line nearing the proximal line below, not straight, but 
broken in die centre of the wing. Marginal area with an intense dark grey tint and with the usual small sub- 
terminal black spots. Hindwing similar. Under surface dull yellowish fawn-coloured; forewing greyer with 
a yellow costal margin and a dark cellular spot. Head brown; thorax and abdominal dorsum like the wings. 
A specimen of this Japanese species was in Elwe’s collection from Sikkim and has been mentioned by Hampson 
in his Fauna of Brit. India Vol. I, p. 337. 
A. gracillima Warr. (49 g). Forewing light silky straw-coloured, with a greyish-brown tint towards 
the costal margin and apex; costal margin yellow, the two lines brown and fine, extending as in lilacina Mr. 
Fringes brown, towards the anal angle lighter; no dark line on the discocellular, but at both the cell-angles 
2 white dots. Hindwing lighter, at the hind-margin a brownish distal line is visible; head and palpi dark brown. 
Collar rusty yellow. Thorax and abdomen light straw-coloured. Khasia Hills (Assam) and Sikkim; in a specimen 
from Sikkim the lines are thick and coarser.
