CHLORODONTOPERA; ARACIMA; XENOZANCLA; TANAORHINUS. By L. B. Prout. 
the purple markings not broad, not strongly variegated and rarely enclosing any green colouring near the anal 
angle of the hindwing. Hindtibia of the with a hair-pencil. 
curvifini- A. curvifitliens Prout (2 a) was formerly mixed among carissima , but is really very distinct. Hindleg 
ens. structure as in hilarata. Antemedian band more sinuous and less oblique than in carissima , a darker cell-mark 
on its distal edge or just beyond it, a cell-dot also nearly always conspicuous on the hindwing; proximal edge 
of outer purple band more sinuous than in carissima, at least on forewing. E. China, Corea and Japan. 
siren. A. quinaria Moore siren Prout (Vol. 12. pi. 9 e). Hindleg of about as in the two preceding. Larger; 
superficially almost exactly like an overgrown ^ carissima, but with the antemedian band widening triangularly 
before losing itself in the costal stripe. Chinese Tibet. 
carissima. A. carissima Btlr. (Vol. 4. pi. 1 h) differs from all the above in the absence of the <$ hindtibial hair- 
pencil. Further distinctions have already been noted; see also Vol. 12, p. 70. 
9a. Genus: dilororiontopera Warr. 
(see Vol. 12, p. 74.) 
An Indo-Australian genus of only 3 or 4 species, different from Agathia in the much more strongly 
and irregularly dentate margins (each wing with an excision between the radials), the quite different 
coloration and scheme of markings. Antenna of $ pectinate or lamellate, probably never so simple as in 
Agathia. 
mandari- Ch. mandarinata Leech (la). Very distinct from all other Palaearctic species but very similar to chaly - 
naia. b ea t a Moore (Vol. 12, pi. 10 b). The <$ antenna, however, is lamellate, while in chalybeata it is pectinate. 
Hindwing with tooth at 2nd subcostal stronger than that at the 1st radial (especially in the §), and with stronger 
dark shading anteriorly than in any other Chlorodontopera. Kiukiang, E. China (Leech's type) and Szechuan; 
taiwana Wileman , from Formosa (Vol. 12, pi. 10 a) may be a race of it. 
10. Genus: Iraeima Btlr. 
(see Vol. 4, p. 15 and Vol. 12, p. 74.) 
muscosa. A. rtiuscosa Btlr (Vol. 4. p. 15, pi. 1 li). Although this species in everywhere variable, it will almost 
certainly prove susceptible of racial differentiations. The heavily marked forms, prevalent in Japan, are al- 
vestita. most entirely supplanted elsewhere by forms with more or less reduced maculation. —- vestita Hedern. (2 b), 
from the Chingan Mountains, has the cell-spots and the incomplete median band reduced, the borders fairly well 
privata. developed. Probably much of the Amurland material belongs here. — privata Warnecke, the prevailing form 
at Nikolajefsk on the Amur Gulf. should probably sink to sachalinensis ; in addition to the reduction of the 
markings of the median area (as given for vestita ), it has the characteristic terminal band quite fragmentary. 
sachalinen- Average size small. — sachalinensis Matsumura, from Saghalien, is possibly a separate sjieeies, but the descrip- 
S1S ■ tion and figure rather point to a modification of vestita with postmedian markings slightly better developed, 
tornal patch of forewing much reduced, terminal band of hindwing replaced by a series of small and weak sub- 
terminal spots. 
10a. Genus: Xenozaiacla Warr. 
(see Vol. 12, p. 74.) 
Differs from Aracima in its much smaller size, much longer $ palpus, simple <$ antenna and less den¬ 
tate wing-margins, that of the forewing concave in anterior half, without the tooth at the 1st radial which 
characterizes both the preceding genera. Only one species (see Vol. 12, p. 74). 
versicolor. X. versicolor Warr. (2 b). Still less greenish than A. muscosa , the strigulation copious, reddish-grey, 
the cloudings indefinite; postmedian line we 11 developed posteriorly on the fore- and anteriorly on the hind¬ 
wing. otherwise punctiform. Pekin; the type was from the Naga Hills, Assam. 
12. Genus: Taiiaorliinus Btlr. 
(see Vol. 4, p. 16 and Vol. 12, p. 76.) 
reciprocata. T. reciprocata Walk. (= dimissa Walk.) (Vol. 12, pi. 10 b). An examination of the genitalia has con¬ 
firmed the specific identity of confuciaria with this Indian species. The armature of the valves is strongly 
asymmetrical and shows only some very slight variability, which seems, however, to be in part geographical; 
the highly chitinized part (“harpe”) of the left valve is produced into a long, pointed process, of which the 
free part is decidedly slenderer in the name-typical race than in the Japanese, r. reciprocata (judged by the 
genitalia) probably enters the Palaearctic Region in N. W. India, Tibet and Szechuan, though in somewhat 
confucia- conjuciaria-Wke forms. — confuciaria Walk. Better distinctions than those heretofore given (though still not
