12 CULPINIA; GELASMA. By L. B. Prout. 
an account of the life-history and anatomy. The larva has the habitus of pustulate/,; without a translation I 
can give no detail. 
C. quadrinotata Btlr. (Vol. 4, p. 21, pi. 5 b) may not improbably prove to be an ab. of the variable 
cassidara of North India (see Vol. 12, p. 92, pi. 12 e) with rather different dark blotches and slightly more 
proximally placed postmedian line. 
C . pustulata Hufn. ab. stigmatisata Stauder , founded on a small $ from Trieste, is said to be of a very 
vivid green colour, the spot at the inner angle continued to the middle of the wing, both wings with distinct 
cell-dot as in neriaria (Vol. 4, pi. 2b). 
C. pseudoneriaria Wehrli (2 b) from the Sierra Nevada, differs from pustulata (Vol. 4, p. 19, pi. 2 b) in 
the very distinct white strigulation of both wings and the great reduction of the marginal spots, which recall 
those of neriaria but are even smaller; neriaria , however, is distinguished from the new species by the strong 
angulation of the postmedian line of the foreAving and by the red cell-dots, those of pseudoneriaria being green- 
grey. The unique type was beaten from scrub-oak on the steep slopes of the Upper Genii Valley at about 
1600 m altitude. 
C. subprocumbaria Oberth. (1 cl). Near procumbaria (Vol. 4, pi. 2 b) but distinguishable by the larger 
spots, the one at the apex of the hindwing sharply cut by dark streaks on the veins. Siao-lou, Chinese Tibet. 
C. nigromacularia Leech ( = eurynomaria Oberth.). We have pointed out in Vol. 12 (p. 93) that we had 
mixed two different species, or at the least two constant geographical forms, under the above name. Both 
onr figures (Vol. 4, pi. 3 b pi. 2 c $) represent the true nigromacularia, which is fairly common in W. China. 
It shows little variation and the apical patch of the hindwing is ahvays purple-blackish. 
C. delicatior Warr. (= nigromacularia Oberth., nec Leech) (2 b). Red spot at hind angle of forewdng 
rather larger and lighter than in nigromacularia, the spot at apex of hindwing definitely red, not blackish. 
Japan was the source of Warren’s type, but the form from Manchuria, here figured, agrees with it. 
C. argentataria Leech. (Vol. 4, pi. 2 b). In this species and the following, besides a few other Comibaena 
both Oriental and African, the antenna of the $ is pectinate as well as that of the Its range extends across 
China, besides Corea, Japan (except the North) and Formosa. 
C. subargentaria Oberth. (2g) is apparently a race of signifera Warr. (Vol. 12, p. 93, pi. 12 e), but as 
the latter is only known from a single example from Burma, and that not in very perfect condition, the exact 
relationship is still somewhat uncertain. The chief distinction is that in subargentaria the green colour of the 
median area of the forewing extends also over the basal area and a part of the distal. Eastern frontier of Tibet. 
C. pulchra Stgr. (Vol. 4, pi. 3 a) will probably have to be made the type of a separate genus, as 
the hindtibia has only the terminal spurs. It Avould seem, like a few other Palestinian species ( Scopula donovani 
Dist., the Coenina species, etc.) to be of African origin (see Vol. 16, p. 15). 
19. Genus: Cnlpiula Prout. 
(see Vol. 4, p. 2].) 
C. prouti Th.-Mieg (= feroniaria Oberth.) (2g). Described as a Thalera , but as the $ has a frenulum 
I have removed it to Gxdpinia ; the $ hindtibia, however, has no hair-pencil and I cannot say whether that 
of the $ —- which is unknown to me — has 4 spurs. Lines exceedingly faint or even obsolete, so that the AA’ings 
appear uniform green with red terminal line and a whitish line at base of fringe. Variable in size. Only known 
from Syria. 
20. Genus: Grlnsnia Warr. 
(see Vol. 4, p. 22; Vol. 12, p. 93; Vol. 16, p. 20.) 
G. submacularia Leech (2h). Of this species (Vol. 4, p. 22), which has not yet been figured, we give 
a figure of the underside of Leech's type, a $ from Moupin. 
G. chromatocrossa Prout (Vol. 12, pi. 12 f). This Burmese species, distinguishable by pink costal edge 
and pink, dark-spotted fringes, should be looked-out for in Szechuan, as I have seen specimens — too worn 
to be certainly determined without dissection — which I believe to belong to it. 
G. vinosifimbria sp. n. (2 g). Larger than chromatocrossa, face duller dark-brown, scarcely at all reddish, 
pectinations longer, continuing almost to apex (extreme tip unfortunately lost), Avings slightly broader and 
smoother-margined, tail of hindwing fairly well developed; terminal line very slight, the vinaceous fringe 
scarcely dark-spotted. Ta-ho, Ghinese Tibet, 1 £ in the British Museum (ex coll. OberthTr). 
G. habra Prout (Vol. 12, pi. 12 f). Delicately built, with glossy and not very opaque scaling, in shape 
liabra.
