94 CARIGE. By L. B. Prout. 
L. parallelaria Leech (Vol. 4, pi. 11 d). Notwithstanding a close resemblance, I am not inclined to sink 
this to olivata Warr. from the Khasis; it is at least a good race. Its blackish terminal line and (on the forewing) 
blackish fringe, besides the black costal dot between the postmedian and the apex are not reproduced even in 
fresh specimens of olivata. 
L. pseudomacariata Pouj. (9 f). We now give a figure, founded on a from Kunkala-shan. Sterneck, 
in recording 3 from Wassekou, W. China, remarks that it differs very considerably from the conspicuaria 
Leech of Chang Yang (Vol. 4, pi. 11 d) and does not think that the latter can be a mere race of it. I still 
feel doubtful whether it is anything more. 
L. pallida Warr. (— fasciaria Leech, Prout in Seitz, Vol. 4, p. 191) (9 f). Founded on a worn $ said 
to be from Japan, but probably in reality a Leech duplicate from Central China, Warren’s name unfortunately 
has priority (see Vol. 4 addenda p. 419). It was described as “TosauraV’ , that is to say, Ozola (!). Somewhat 
narrower-winged than olivata and parallelaria ; other distinctions are noted in Vol. 4, p. 191. 
40. Genus: Carige Walk. 
(See Vol. 4, p. 192.) 
There has been some confusion about the forms comprised in the duplicaria group of this genus. I can 
only at the moment give the results of an investigation which I undertook a few years ago and hope it may induce 
others to follow the matter further. 
C. cruciplaga Walk. (9 f), founded on a $ in poor condition, with one forewing lost, was said to come 
from Penang, but I think this locality must be erroneous; the specimen, though of a slightly warmer tint than 
the average of Japanese specimens, is so similar to them, and so unlike anything Malayan which has yet 
come to hand, that I have ventured to adopt the name for the Japanese Carige here figured. It is very variable, 
particularly if the series discussed below belongs with it. I included it in duplicaria Walk, in Vol. 4. — debrun¬ 
neata Prout ( = duplicaria Prout in Seitz, Vol. 4, pi. 7 f, err. det.), fairly common in the mountains of Szechuan, 
is grey, less brown-tinged than c. cruciplaga, the wings slightly more angular, the excision in the termen of 
the hindwing generally appreciably deeper, the black markings which accompany the postmedian less variable 
than in cruciplaga, more uniform, scarcely ever much enlarged. Type locality: Pu-tsu-fu, W. China, 8 000—10000 
feet. Our figure was taken from an Omei-shan q in my collection. 
C. duplicaria Walk. (9 f), published a year later than cruciplaga, was founded on a <$ from “N. China”, 
which, with Walker, generally denotes the Shanghai district. Although it may be another form of cruciplaga 
it is more convenient to consider it separately, as the angulations of the wings are less sharp. It evidently 
represents in E. and Central China and probably Corea the well-known forms which I associate with it below. 
The ground-colour is on the whole somewhat less warm than in irrorata and with the dark maculation much 
stronger, generally including distinct subterminal spots and often somewhat conspicuous terminal irroration. — 
nigronotaria Brem. (9 g). The long Amur-Ussuri series before me is scarcely variable and is generally recogni¬ 
zable by the still stronger black postmedian and subterminal spots, on a pale ground-colour, though some dupli¬ 
caria are closely like them. The type was taken above the Ema Estuary, Amurland. — irrorata Btlr. (9 g), 
from Japan, the type from Tokyo, may perhaps be nothing more than a very stable dimorph of cruciplaga, 
though the less sharply angled hindwing and generally different dark postmedian maculation create a decidedly 
different impression; proximally to the pale line which I here call the postmedian itself, the dark line is scarcely 
at all interrupted, nowhere much expanded; distally a dark line is hardly indicated except (especially on the 
forewing) by the paired blackish spots at the folds. On the relation to duplicaria, see above. — ab. absorpta 
Warr. has the lines almost simple, even the postmedian maculation at the folds obsolescent. “Japan”. 
C. scutilimbata sp. n. (9 g). Variable in size (30—36 mm, a 2nd brood 25—26 mm), otherwise pretty 
constant. Forewing in both sexes, hindwing also in the $, with distal margins less irregular. Yellow-brownish, 
with fine but close grey irroration; the buff ante- und postmedian lines and their black accompaniments much 
as in sharply marked cruciplaga, those between the radials of the forewing often longer, recalling extremaria 
(9 g). Very characteristic are the solid black terminal markings of the forewing, cut by the veins, as in the 
quite differently shaped and coloured extremaria Leech (9 g) and lunulineata Moore (Himalayas). Japan in 
June, the type from Oyama, Nippon; small specimens, evidently a second brood, from Hakone in August 
(see above). 
extremaria. C. extremaria Leech (9 g) is not a form of either of the preceding, but abundantly distinct in its large 
size, extreme shape, heavy black markings, etc.; ground-colour as pale as in debrunneata. Central and West China.
