CHLORORITHRA; LOUISPROUTIA; CHLOROMACHIA. By L. B. Prout. 
Japan) on Quercus serrata and bears dorsally small paired processes on the metathorax and long paired spines 
on abdominal segments 1—5 and 8 which harmonize wonderfully with the young leaf-buds of the foodplant. 
Pupa green, dorsally marked with sparse black dots. 
laiirigua. H. albovenaria Brem. latirigua Prout (Vol. 12, p. 75). Rather more uniform green, with the white post¬ 
median stripe appreciably broadened, this and the antemedian not edged with yellow-green in the median 
area, the subterminal line decidedly nearer to the distal margin than to the postmedian. Represents albo- 
venaria in Szechuan. 
verjuco- H. verjucodumnaria Oberth. (2 e). General scheme of markings as in vallata (Vol. 4, pi. 1 h); larger, 
dumnana. £j ie £ a q 0 £ £j ie hi n Awing slighter, the colour much paler and more glaucous, the costal spots strong, the fringe 
beneath spotted. Tse-kou. 
vervacto- H. vervactoraria Oberth. (2 e). Much brighter green than verjucodumnaria, thus nearer to vallata in 
raria. colouring, but of nearly the size and shape of verjucodumnaria , underside with the white parts more extended 
than in vallata. Distributed in Szechuan. 
glauco- H. glaucochrista Prout. The name-typical form, from Vrianatong, Tibet, is closely similar to the race 
christa. ( or aberration) here figured, but has the subterminal spots less developed, the hindwing beneath greenish. 
grearia. — grearia Oberth. (2f), from Tse-kou and Yunnan, is unlike any other Palaearctic species, its nearest represen¬ 
tative being the Indian variegata Btlr. (Vol. 12, p. 76, pi. 10 a). Hindwing beneath whitish, with well differ¬ 
entiated green border. 
hypoteuca. H. hypoleuca Hmpsn. (= flaminiaria Oberth.) (2 f), described from Burma, was received in a quite 
similar from from Tse-kou by Oberthur. Apex of forewing and tail of hindwing sharper than in grearia, lines 
wanting on both surfaces, the dark cloudings stronger and browner beneath than above, the hindwing beneath 
wholly white excepting a terminal band. 
vallata. H. vallata Btlr. To the range should be added Corea and West China. 
14a. Genus: Clilororithra Btlr. 
(see Vol. 12, p. 78.) 
This Indian genus (see Vol. 12, p. 78), where it is by oversight ascribed to Warren was not described 
in Vol. 4, although we gave a figure of the type species. It differs greatly in shape and pattern from Iotaphora 
(Vol. 4, p. 18), but shows few structural differences, although the A hindtibia has a strong hair-pencil which 
is wanting in that genus. 
fea. Ch. fea Btlr. (Vol. 4, pi. 1 g). Unlike any other known species; the row of spots proximallv to the 
white subterminal is generally stronger than in our figure and is in part reproduced beneath; there is also on 
the underside a large black-brown subterminal spot at the costa of the hindwing, usually discernible (though 
missiona- weaker) on the upperside. —- ab. missionaria Oberth. (2f) is a somewhat frequent form in the Tse-kou series 
ria ’ of fea which was collected by Dubernard, less sharply marked on the underside than typical fea and in parti¬ 
cular lacking the black subapical spot. Oberthur united the w'hole series under the one name, but in order 
to conserve the name we have assumed his first figure to be the type. —- The larva feeds on Quercus alba and 
is so much like the flower of this tree as to be difficult to distinguish from it. 
14b. Genus: ILouisproutia Wehrli. 
This genus, which appears to me to be a somewhat specialised offshoot of the Hipparchus group, has 
been made known since our manuscript of that group in Vol. 12 went to the press. It agrees with Hipparchus 
in general habitus, shape, pattern (white subterminal line indicated), 4-spurred hindtibia, non-stalking of the 
2nd subcostal of the hinclwing and some other features, but differs in the non-pectinate A antenna and the short 
palpus in both sexes. Moreover the $ frenulum shows a tendency to obsolescence and perhaps even that of the 
A is beginning to foreshadow that of the succeeding group (see Vol. 4, p. 21, footnote). Only one species is 
known. 
pallescens. L. pallescens Wehrli (2 g). Recognizable by the structural characters and the pale colouring; the lines, 
though pale, are not intensely white, but are rendered a little more conspicuous by a dark edging in the median 
area. Szechuan and Chinese Tibet. 
15. Genus: Cliloromachia Wan. 
(see Vol. 4, p. 18 and Vol. 12, p. 85.) 
C. (?) gavissima Walk. Either as an aberrant Chloromachia or Anisozyga, or a link between these two 
aphrodite. Indo-Australian genera, may be regarded this remarkable species (see Vol. 12, p. 85). —- aphrodite Prout (1 c) 
is a more heavily marked form from W. China and Chinese Tibet.
