RHODOPRASINA; CLANIDOPSIS; AGNOSIA; PARUM; CYPA. By Dr. A. Seitz. 541 
26. Genus: l&hodoprasiiiii R. & J. 
This genus contains but one lepidopteron being more remarkable for its colouring than for its shape, 
with very stunted palpi and proboscis, whilst the lower portion of the eyes is covered by a short though dense 
lateral curl of hair. Shape of wings as in Marumba. 
Rh. floralis Btlr. (= florella Btlr. i. tab.) (62 a). Hitherto only found in Sikkim, very rare. Body and florulis. 
wings of a bright dark green, the basal two thirds of the hindwing dull purple red. 
27. Genus: Claiaidopsfs R. & J. 
Allied to the Marumba, but the forewing much obtuser; palpi stronger than in Rhodoprasina ; hind 
tibiae with 2 pair of spurs; paronychium and pulvillus absent, whereby the only species of this genus is 
distinguished from Clanis. As to further particulars about the genus cf. Vol. II, p. 242. 
C. exusta Btlr. (Vol. II, pi. 37 e). This plainly coloured and marked species lives in Kashmir and exusta. 
North-West-India, where it also penetrates to the palaearctic region (cf. Vol. II, p. 242). The larva has not 
been described, though it is stated to live on poplars. Apparently not rare at its habitats. 
28. Genus: Agnosia R. & J. 
A small Sphinx of the size of a Berg, porcellus forms this genus which differs morphologically from 
Glanidopsis in the presence of the anal claw and pulvillus. 
A. orneus Ww. (= pudorina Btlr.) (56 C a). Expanse hardly 50 mm. Unicoloured reddish earth-coloured omens. 
brown; central area of forewing somewhat darker. The antemedian transverse line is rather straight, the 
median one in the submedian area sharply angled outwards, the distal lines dull, partly only marked by rows 
of dots. Base of hindwing bright cinnamon red. Ceylon, apparently very rare. It was taken close by Kandy, 
the well-known town of Ceylon. 
M. microta Rothsch., described from a single male, has an expanse of 44 mm. Body red-brown, head microta. 
excepting palpi somewhat lighter. Forewing greyish-brown, suffused with a yellowish-brown pink and slightly 
strewn dark. On vein 1 a black and yellowish-red spot near the base; in the centre of the wing a brown, outside 
indistinct oblique line, the postmedian area behind somewhat greyer; before the margin an indistinct, feebly 
curved line with 2 contiguous red-brown spots at the inner margin. A small dark brown dot below the apex 
at the margin, inside bordered by a small grey lunula, and with a very indistinct brown triangular shadow 
below it from the margin to the submedian line. Hindwing violet red-brown with an indistinctly darker 
marginal shadow at the anal angle. Godavery District (Madras). 
29. Genus: Parum R&.J. 
These species have formerly been grouped with Daplnnusa ocellaris (62 a), but they have nothing to 
do with it. The apex of the forewing is rounded, the distal margin in one species quite rectilinear, in the other 
very slightly undulate. Directly at the apex a light-edged dark spot and below it the marginal area is similarly 
bordered by a basally convex arcuate line as in the Oxyambulyx. Two species. As to further particulars cf. 
Vol. II, p. 242. 
P. colligata Wkr. (Vol. II, pi. 38 b) is the larger one of the two species of this genus; chiefly palaearctic collUjaia. 
and therefore described in Vol. II, p. 242. — safurata Clark are specimens with a deeper colouring, and ab. saturala. 
bieti Oberth. such with brighter spots; in the latter form an interrupted though distinct black stripe extends bieti. 
from the small apical spot through the forewing across the central dot towards the base. — The larva is very 
similar to that of M. tiliae, being likewise sometimes quite green, sometimes tinted reddish, but its vertex is 
rounded above, and the oblique stripes are paler, thinner; on Broussonetia papyrifera and kaempferi. The 
imago is not common in most of the districts of its range, but in some places, according to R. Mell, the larvae 
may be collected by hundreds. At such habitats they also appear regularly every year. It occurs in the Indo- 
Australian region (where saturata predominates) in Southern China; otherwise palaearctic. 
P. porphyria Btlr. (62 c as porphyrina). Much smaller, but otherwise not dissimilar to colligata, the porphyria 
light transverse bands duller, with fewer blackish spots; the margin of the forewing is feebly undulate, the 
margin of the hindwing more curved, all the wings on the whole shorter. Sikkim; hitherto still rare. — In South 
China there occur specimens similar to the Sikkim-specimens in size, colouring and marking, but different 
anatomically and also in the larvae, so that R. Mell not only separates them as species, but also as genus: 
Graspedortha inapicalis. 
30. Genus: Cypa Wkr. 
This genus having been divided there remains but one small brown species. The lepidoptera have an 
irregularly notched margin of the forewing, a slightly produced apex and inner angle of the forewing and a
