C. infracta Wilem. (3 f). Both sexes are now known. We give a figure. From 0. difficta, (Bd. 4, pi. 2 b), infracla. 
the only Japanese species with which it could be confused, it differs in shape and in the reduction of mar¬ 
kings on the fore wing, particularly at the anal angle. 
C. augustaria Oberth. (1 c). Probably related, as its author intimates, to aureofulva Warr. (Vol. 12, augusluria. 
pi. 10 i), from the Khasis but with better-defined green, white-bounded-median area of the forewing, smaller 
red-brown postmedian costal patch and reduced green and brown markings on the forewing beneath, which 
is here predominantly white or whitish. Tse-kou, Chinese Tibet. 
15a. Genus: Liopliomacliia Prout. 
(see Vol. 12, p. 86.) 
Typically differs from Ghloromachia in the crested abdomen and the dentate, non-fasciculate antenna, 
but there are some intergradations and it would perhaps be better to regard it as a subgenus. Entirely Indo- 
Australian. 
L. monbeigaria Oberth. (1 c) approaches the confines of the Palaearctic Region in Chinese Tibet (Tien- monbeiga- 
tsuen) and may be mentioned here. Larger than the Indian albiradiata (Vol. 12, pi. 10 e), the antemedian ria - 
and subterminal lines of the forewing less oblique inward, the postmedian more sinuous, the underside more 
weakly marked. 
16. Genus: ©chrognesia Warr. 
(see Vol. 4, p. 18.) 
0. difficta Walk. (Vol. 4, pi. 2 b). The early stages have been described by Nagano and by Wileman. difficta. 
The larva feeds on Salix and presents a beautiful mimicry of the unexpanded leaf-buds of the foodplant; the 
body rests along a twig and large pointed lateral processes (showing affinity with Anisozyga, Vol. 12, p. 80) 
simulate the buds and expanding leaves. 
17. Genus: Rhomborlsta Wan. 
(see Vol. 12, p. 89.) 
I have now (Vol. 12, p. 90) sunk Spaniocentra Prout as a section of this Indian genus; the sole distinc¬ 
tion is the loss of the proximal spurs of the hindtibia. 
Rh. incomptaria Leech (2 b). Of this species (or race of megaspilaria Guen. ? [Bd. 12, Taf. 11c]) I now incompta- 
know several good specimens. It differs from the related forms in its slightly more bluish green colour and ria - 
the reduction of the terminal marking; antemedian of forewing obsolete. Only known from West China. 
18. Genus: Comibaeiia Hbn. 
(see Vol. 4, p. 19; Vol. 12, p, 91.) 
C. pictipennis Btlr. (Vol. 12, pi. lib) may perhaps be regarded as a Palaearctic species, being recorded pidipennis. 
from Kashmir, though the type was from Sikkim. The arrangement of the reddish markings is quite distinc¬ 
tive. — superomataria Oberth. (6 c) has the white patch outside the postmedian of the fore wing better deve- superoma- 
loped and a terminal green patch bounded by the irregular outer line of the hindwing. Siao-lou, Chinese Tibet, taria. 
C. dubemardi Oberth. (1 d). Smaller than superomataria and ornataria (Vol. 4, pi. 2 e), the forewing dubemardi. 
with no red marking, the hindwing with a small reddish patch at anal angle only, the fringe of this wing spotted 
as in the allies, the apical region mixed with white. Tse-kou. —- ab. (?) rectilkieata Sterneck, founded on a redilineata. 
$ from Sumpanting, W. China, has the postmedian line of the forewing straighter, becoming thicker and 
yellower posteriorly, the fringe of the hindwing perhaps redder. Perhaps the normal $ to dubemardi. 
C. latilinea Prout (= chlorophyllaria Leech, nec Hedem., theodoraria Oberth.) (1 d). Different from all latilinea. 
the preceding in the red terminal line of both wings, the fringes spotted with red. Both wings beneath are 
green with a dark cell-dot. West China. 
C. cetiocraspis Prout (Vol. 12, pi. 12 d). At least as small as dubemardi, entirely devoid of red mark- cenocraspis. 
ings. The white lines of the fore wing are present (or at least the postmedian) on the underside, where the 
hindwing also has a white outer line, curved almost parallel with the margin. The originals were from Hpare, 
Kachin Hills, but I have since seen specimens from Omei Shan and its vicinity. 
C. hypolampes Prout. Lines broader than in cenocraspis, more as in latilinea, but with the postmedian hypolampes. 
somewhat curved near the costa and well developed on the underside; hind wing with a very fine white line 
close to distal margin, as in Euchloris smaragdaria (Vol. 4, pi. 2 f) and chlorophyllaria (Vol. 4, pi. 3 b). Vria- 
natong, Tibet, only the type known to me. 
C. obsoletaria Leech (Vol. 4, pi. 2 a). Hori (Insect World, Vol. 29, p.4—-7, pi. 1) has given, in Japanese, obsoletaria.
