Gloss, according to the author, already makes the impression of a distinct species. It is larger and marked with 
a brighter black and white; particularly the postmedian whitish cucullated band and the light anteterminal 
spots are brighter and on the thorax there are behind the middle of the collar as well as at the posterior margin 
bright yellow spots; the lateral spots of the abdomen are dark chestnut instead of lighter grey. — strobi Bsd., 
by mistake stated from North America, seems to be founded upon a small aberration of menephron which was not 
identified owing to a mistake of the patria; Oberthur informed Clark that the insect originates from Asia. — 
The range of the species extends from South China across India to Australia in the south and to the Malay 
Is. in the east; in South China they are very commoh (e. g. in Hongkong). — Larva green, not spotted brown, 
only before the pupation with a violet-brown dorsum. It is more coarsely granulated than the following species, 
the white oblique stripes are broader, especially the hindmost stripe terminating below the horn is several 
times as broad as the others. On Clerodendron inerme. 
Ps. increfa Wkr. (Vol. II, pi. 36 b). This species being common in Japan and having been dealt with 
in Vol. II, p. 334, also occurs on the continent with a wide range extending from Korea to Formosa and the 
Linchot Is. and in the south (according to Mell) to New Guinea and Australia. The larva is similar to that 
of the preceding species, but the last oblique streak is not so much widened; the granulation of the dorsal skin 
is finer, and therefore the upperside smoother, with a porcelain-like gloss, the green colouring almost invariably 
interrupted by brown spots. On Vitex negundo. 
Ps. jordana B.-Bak. (56 c, d) is another species described from the remote Fidji Is. It is somewhat 
smaller than menephron, and has an expanse of 100 mm. At once recognizable by the ground-colour of the 
forewing being almost white, strongly contrasting with the dark brown colour of the hindwing. 
7. Genus : Apocalypsls Btlr. 
The only species known of this genus lives in North India and its habitus to a certain degree resembles 
that of the American Euryglottis aper from which, however, it is at once discernible by the thoracal covering 
being quite scrubby and somewhat ruffled in the American species. 
A. velox Btlr. (60 d) is at once recognizable by the whitish-yellow streak parting the apex of the forewing 
and the arcuate band before it, which is proximad accompanied by a white crescentiform line. Otherwise 
similar to the preceding species. It occurs in the mountains of Sikkim and Assam. 
8. Genus: Pseuriodolbina Rothsch. 
Rather small insects of the habitus of North-American Dolba, for which reason it had also been 
described as a Dolba ; the relationship to the preceding genus has been chiefly ascertained by anatomical marks. 
The first hind palpal joint is shorter than the tibia, not longer than joints 2—5 together. Penis-cover with 
a single, long and pointed tooth which is directed to the right side. 
Ps. fo Wkr. (= veloxina Rothsch.) (60 e). Forewing dark brown with 10 rather parallel black, mostly 
notched or undulate transverse stripes and a white central spot encircled by a black ring. Hindwing lighter 
brown with two faded dark submarginal bands. Recognizable by the bright golden yellow abdominal sides 
which are intersected bv black stripes on the segments. An alpine lepidopteron as the preceding species; Sikkim, 
Khasia Mts. — celator Jord., from Dharmsala, differs from Sikkim and Assam-/o in the harp showing a ventral 
tooth near the apex; no other differences have been ascertained. 
Ps. aequalis R. & J. is a rare insect from Assam: similar to the preceding ones, but the upper surface 
of the wings and body with an olive-greenish tint which, in fresh specimens, shows a yellow lustre; the space 
between the black transverse stripes before the median area filled with black. 
9. Genus: C'oenotes R. & J. 
This genus is composed of a rather small, strongly built imago likewise resembling Dolba. Proboscis 
feeble and not long; middle tarsi without long basal bristles. 
C. eremophilae Luc. (--- minimus Misk.) (60 e). Considerably lighter greyish-brown than Ps. fo ; forewing 
with but 3 or 4 distinct, strongly angled transverse bands. Abdomen laterally not golden yellow. — Larva 
green, across the dorsum and along the sides rows of orange spots. Head, horn, and claspers black. On Pholidia, 
a Myroporacea. From Queensland (Dawson R.); rare. — A larger species has lately been described from Ceram 
I., but it has remained unknown to me: — maximus Glk.
