0 EPIPRISTIS; METALLOLOPHIA; TERPNA. By L. B. Pbout. 
distinct; green, with some oblique yellow striae, the yellow lateral line with some rosy marks above the spir¬ 
acles. Pupa much attenuated posteriorly, surface rugose and shagreened, yellowish-brown or grey, spiracular 
spots yellowish or orange, some large black lateral spots on abdomen. The species is distributed from Morocco 
to Cyrenaica; see also Vol. 16. p. 11. ' 
P. multispurcata Front (1 g). Closely similar to lahayei (Vol. 4, pi. 1 g), but with the postmedian of 
both wings somewhat more strongly bulged, the subterminal dark band beneath less strongly broken (in the 
type pretty complete). N. W. India, the type from Rawal Pindi; $ still unknown. 
2a. Genus: (Epfpristis Meyr. 
(see Vol. 12, p. 47.) 
Near Pingasa but with the antenna simple in both sexes, the thorax not, or scarcely, hairy beneath, 
etc. The venation is generally very similar, but the Chinese species (see below) shows a tendency to lose the 
base of the 2nd subcostal of the forewing, so that the 1st and 2nd appear to be long-stalked together; on this 
peculiarity Sterneck founded a genus Pingarmia. 
E. transiens Sterneck (1 f). Palpus, even in the <$, with long terminal joint; J antenna somewhat lamel¬ 
late; abdomen (as in minimaria, Vol. 12, p. 47, pi. 8 a) not crested. Forewing somewhat narrower and more 
pointed than in the Indian species (Vol. 12, p. 47), median area narrower, postmedian line more incurved be¬ 
hind middle, antemedian only weakly sinuous. Underside with strong postmedian but without dark marginal 
band. Pekin. 
3. Genus: Metallolophia Warr. 
(see Vol. 4, p. 12 and Vol. 12, p. 54.) 
M. arenaria Leech ( = danielaria Oberth.) (1 g). Oberthur has figured Leech's species as new, under 
the name quoted above; we give a copy of a paratype of danielaria. The species inhabits W. China and Burma. 
4. Genus : Terpua H.-Sch. 
(see Vol. 4, p. 12 and Vol. 12, p. 54.) 
T. amplificata Walk. ab. abraxas Ob. (1 h) is an ample-winged $ with the larger dark spots and especially 
the subterminal band rather well developed, but with few of the irregular small spots. In view of the varia¬ 
bility of this type of pattern, it is probably not worthy of a separate name. Moupin, 1 example. 
T. ectoxantha Wehrli (1 h). Probably related to amplificata but very distinct in the arrangement of 
the dark grey markings and especially in the broad yellow marginal band. Founded on a $ from Bah and, 
Yunnan, but may perhaps be expected from the Palaearctic Region. 
T. costiflavens Wehrli (1 h). Larger than ectoxantha and more robust, distinguishable by the absence 
of black on the yellow face and palpus, stronger yellow abdominal crests and broad yellow, blackish-spotted 
costal area of forewing. Founded on a $ from Siaolu, W. China. 
T. superans Btlr. (Vol. 4, pi. 1 g). To the range of this species Corea is to be added, omitted by over¬ 
sight in Vol. 4. 
T. iterans Front (If). Somewhat paler than superans, the markings of upperside at first sight more 
suggestive of vigens Btlr. (Vol. 12, pi. 8 g) or of the erionoma group; postmedian more distally placed than in 
superans, less punctiform. Underside less suffused with ochreous proximally than in superans, the cell-spot^ 
less large and round, the heavy longitudinal blackish streaks wanting, etc. Shanghai district. 
T. erionoma Swinh. subnubigosa Prout (1 g) is a very dark race from W. China, much more unicolorous 
than name-typical erionoma as figured in Vol. 12, pi. 5 c. — ab. imitaria Sterneck is less extreme in coloration 
than the type, but probably need not be separated; it was founded on a specimen from Ta-tsien-lu. 
T. differens Warr. (1 g). Distinct in the extremely oblique antemedian line, the pinkish subapical patch 
and in having the hindwing paler than the forewing. See further Vol. 12, p. 57. Only known from Kulu (the 
type) and Masuri. 
T. thyatiraria Oberth. (= thyatiroides Sterneck) (Vol. 12, pi. 8g). Near differens (lg) but with the pink 
markings more extended, the postmedian line of the forewing more deeply incurved, that of the forewing less 
distally placed, etc. W. China. 
T. leopardinata Moore. There was formerly some confusion between this species and molleri Warr. 
(Vol. 12. p. 57) and the specimen figured on pi. 1 g of Vol. 4 is really the latter. Neither, however, is properly 
Palaearctic; see Vol. 12, p. 57. 
T. davidaria Pouj. (1 h). I have now seen specimens from Kunkala Shan, Szechuan. Dark markings 
above and beneath much less extended than in molleri. Both wings beneath predominantly yellow in distal 
area, whereas in molleri they become whitish, with dark markings.
