p. 190) but a separable race. As it belongs chiefly to the Himalayas, it will be examined more fully in Vol. 12, 
but its occurrence in the Kachin Hills (N. E. Burma) makes it not improbable that it may be found in Sze¬ 
chuan. Forewing rather more variegated (in places less brownish) than typical artemidora, with sharper dark 
markings; hindwing proximally with sharper markings. 
37. Genus: Sauris Guen. 
(See Vol. 4, p. 190.) 
S. nigrilinearia Leech (Vol. 4, pi. 12 a, d)- West (Novit. Zool., Vol. 35, p. 126) has given a careful nigrilinea - 
detailed description of the coloration and markings of Wileman’s GcL which may supplement our not very per¬ 
fect figure of one of them; Leech’s “type g” was really a The large development of the lobe of the 
d hindwing suggests a possible relationship with the Malayan section (or genus) Tympanota Warr., in which 
this is the most salient character; but theW is also at the base of its abdomen beneath (though not highly 
developed) the pouch which distinguishes another group, Episteira Warr. There is, as with the kindred Lobo- 
phora, sens. lat. (and for the same reason) great difficulty in working out a taxonomic scheme for Sauris. 
S. nigrilinearia is known also from Ningpo, perhaps also from the Riu-kiu Islands an$ even from Selangor. 
S. nanaria Leech (= minuta Prout, ex err.) (9e). By some mental lapse, this was described in Vol. 4 nanaria. 
(p. 190) under the name of minuta (not “accidentally omitted", as stated in Novit. Zool., Vol. 35, p. 305). 
As a result, the reference of pi. 7 f on p. 419 got attached to the wrong 1 ‘minuta”\ that figure is really Collix 
minuta Btlr. (Vol. 4, p. 300). S. nanaria, which we now figure, clearly represents the widely distributed Indo- 
Australian group which contains also eupitheciata Snell., postalba Hmps. and viridata Warr. The Indian form 
(postalba) has been bred from Loranthus. The figured specimen represents a form fromTakao-San, considerably 
larger than nanaria type and with more white in the outer area. 
S. eupena sp. n. (9e). In the absence of the G, the exact systematic position of this neat species eupena. 
is uncertain; the $ characters agree pretty closely with those of the genotype $, hirudinata Guen.: palpus at 
least 3 (but here black), areole undivided, hindwing with both the 1st and the 3rd radial well stalked with 
the neighbouring veins. Darker than nigrilinearia, at least 10 olivaceous lines from base to postmedian being 
more or less mixed with blackish, so grouped as to leave a narrow pale median area, on which stands the highly 
oblique cell-mark; postmedian series strongly zigzag; the “black line’’ of nigrilinearia less accentuated, more 
bent. Kagoshima, 1 i* 1 my collection; a larger and paler $ from Riu-kiu, still undescribed, may be a 
race of this and somewhat connects it with Episteira. The group will be further considered in Vol. 12. 
38. Genus: Cryptoloba Warr. 
(See Vol. 4, p. 191.) 
I believe this will have to be restricted to the type species aerata Moore and its near ally minor Warr., 
neither of which occurs in the Palaearctic Region; but as no other generic name is yet available for cinerea 
and its near allies, and the revision of the whole group depends almost entirely upon the study of the Indo- 
Malayan fauna, I continue to treat the present genus as a section of Cryptoloba. It is distinguished by the 
weakening (perhaps sometimes the complete loss) of the frenulum, and there are various minor differences in 
the wing-shape and venation, particularly in the GcL which, however, vary according to the individual species. 
In their small size, moreover, and the simpler markings, they stand well away from typical Cryptoloba. The 
areole is always simple, while in minor and very occasionally in aerata it remains double. 
C. cinerea Btlr. (9 f). I find that the typical form extends through Upper Burma to W. China (Mt. cinerea. 
Omei, etc.). - plumbeola stibsp. nov., already mentioned in Vol. 4 (p. 191), is on an average smaller and is plumbeola. 
darker (more leaden-grey or violet-grey), with dark hindwing. Dharmsala. 
C. apicata Prout (9 f) occurs in W. China as well as in the type locality (Chang Yang, Central China), apicata. 
For the differentiation from cinerea the reader is referred to Vol. 4, p. 191. 
39. Genus: T^obogonia Warr. 
(See Vol. 4, p. 191.) 
L. ambusta Warr. salvata Prout (Vol. 4, pi. 11 d, as ambusta). The name-typical Khasi race is only salvata. 
known to me from that district. The race from W. China, which in 1928 I named salvata, is generally less 
warmly coloured, the dark maculation less strongly developed, the postmedian line on both wings more curved 
(on the bindwing in a. ambusta it runs almost straight across the wing). Kunkala-shan (the type), Pu-tsu-fong, 
Omei-shan, etc. From formosana Bastelb. (Formosa) it differs in the tailed hindwing. In this group the con¬ 
nective bar between costal and subcostal of the hindwing is usually very weak, in the G oftenest obsolete.
