P. 528. A genus closely allied to Meganoton is Poliana B. d J. which, however, was only known from the 
Ethiopian region. Cf. Vol. XIV, p. 359 and pi. 61c. Lateron another species has been described from 
Cambodja: 
P. leucomelas B. d•. J. This species resembles the African P. buchholzi Plotz (Vol. XIV, pi. 61 c), but it leucomc- 
has more elongate forewings, the white patch in the apical part is proximad to the dark apical area and larger, 
the dark area situate proximad to this white area is coherent with the dark area in the centre of the margin, 
and the white inner-marginal spot is larger than in buchholzi. The genitals of the <$ also differ from buchholzi. 
P.532. Hopliocnema. This formerly monotypical genus has been supplemented by another species: 
H. marmorata Trnr., from Duaringa in Australia, with much lighter forewings; it was taken together marmorata. 
with typical specimens of brachycera.

Oxyambulyx. According to Clark, sericeipennis occurs also in the Philippine Is. in a somewhat different 
form which he names: luzoni. — Another form of this genus he denominates: immaculata. — From canescens tuzoni. 
(p. 535) the pale yellowish-brown specimens are separated as flava; charlesi Clk. is another southern form of " Iala 
this genus, and felixi a form from Buru. — From Southern China and Sumatra 2 other forms have been cleno- charlesi.

P. 538. Marumba cristata is now also known from the Sunda Is. by a large form : titan Bothsch. — Of spectabilis titan. 
(66 a) a Formosan form was described with a notched, flat margin of the forewing; the latter without 
a distinct dot in the basal portion and without a stigma; the spots of the anal angle in the forewing 
are very small; Matsumura denominates it formosana. formosana. 
P. 544. Cephonodus banksii Clk., closely allied to the widely distributed Ceph. hylas, was discovered in the banksii. 
Philippine Is. 
P. 548. Deilephila gigantea Bober, from South-Western New Guinea, is a species near hippothous resp. its form gigantea. 
pallescens, but particularly large, above somewhat differently marked, beneath more uniformly 
greyish-brown. 
P. 549. Ampelophaga . From Formosa Matsumura describes 5 new forms of this genus, all of which are 
presumably allied to the very variable rubiginosa : formosana Mats, shows the postmedian stripe formosana. 
of the forewing widened, shortened, and extending from the centre of the costa towards the tornus; in the 
hindwing the discal arcuate bands are extinct. - In marginalis Mats, all the discal bands are very distinct, marginalis. 
particularly the 3 parallel stripes in the hindwing are very conspicuous. — In takamukei Mats, the takamuJcei. 
bands of the forewing are only indicated by costal shadowy spots; the stripes on the hindwing are not 
recognizable, but in the hindwing the interior margin is broad light like a large spot proximad to the 
posterior angle. —- horishana Mats, (harishana i. tab.) is the largest form, very similar to the $ figured horishana. 
in Vol. II, pi. 39 d, merely separated by duller markings on the body and a slight brightening at the 
anal margin of the hindwing. — baibarana Mats, is a very small and very brightly marked form. — b aibarana. 
Of the North-Indian A. khasiana the range of which extends to China, later on also South-Indian 
specimens were discovered and described as f. malayana B. d> J .; they have broader wings, the ante- malayana. 
median band of the forewing is much broader at the costal margin, the 4th band narrower than in 
typical khasiana. Perak, taken in September and October. 
In the genus Elibia we add to dolichus (67 a) the form linigera Oberth. Nut-brown, the dull whitish- linigera. 
yellow longitudinal stripe across the body very distinct. Forewing with 2 slightly curved, almost parallel 
oblique stripes proximally bordered with light; before the interior one a light-central median dot. Hindwing 
rather uniformly nut-brown. Much smaller than dolichus. Manila. 
P. 550. Acosmeryx. Clark separates from the Australian miskini (63 c) the New Guinea specimens as: brooksi. brooksi.
