CHELONOMORPHA; SCROBIGERA. By Dr. K. Jordan. 
afflicta. afflicta Butl. the antemedian band is of even width from the costal to the inner margin, not being inter- 
adulairix. rupted. — adulatrix Roll. ( = bellatrix Westw.) (1 c) occurs from Kashmir to the Shan States, Tonkin 
and West China and varies considerably individually. The blue spots in the basal area of the forewing 
are large, and the anal spots of the hindwing and the belts of the abdomen are reddish orange ; morever, the 
anal spots are an. the whole smaller than in contracta, although the moth usually is larger. The two 
sectinotis. main spots of the antemedian band are very rarely completely separated (= ab. sectinotis Butl.)', the 
discal spots vary in size, but are always present; the submarginal spots often are partly obsolete; 
many specimens have a blue oblique stripe beyond the centre of the hind margin. On the hind¬ 
wing there is occasionally a reddish yellow spot in the cell. Very abundant from the spring to the 
spilosa. autumn. — spilosa subsp. nov., from Hainan, of which I have 20 specimens before me, approaches 
adulatrix ab. sectinotis very closely. Antemedian band of the forewing more or less strongly interrupted, 
the spots rarely touching one another; the submarginal spots bluish white and always well developed 
with the exception of spots 4 and 6, which are usually small, spot 4 being frequently absent above, 
but very rarely beneath. 
sumbana. E. sumbana Roths, (la). Body black, head and palpi with white .spots, pronotum and patagia 
with large yellowish spots, abdomen beneath and laterally with orange scales on segments 4—7, segment 
8 ventrally produced into two long lobes; coxae black, the inside of the fore coxae with yellow scal¬ 
ing; antennae without white scales. Forewing with yellowish antemedian band, and a very narrow 
yellowish discal macular band which is less distinctly interrupted at the second radial than in adula¬ 
trix. The white submarginal spots of both wings much more proximal than in the other species of 
Eusemia, and especially large on the forewing. Underside of hindwing with some orange scaling below 
the cell. — Only one $ is known (in Mus. Tring), found by A. Everett on Sunrba in December 1896. 
2. Genus: tlielonomorplia Motsch. 
Frontal process truncate, the edge of the apical surface raised. Segment 1 and 2 of palpi 
with long hair, 3 smooth and porrect. Antennae distally obviously incrassate. Eyes with very short 
hair. Tibiae and tarsi with smooth scaling and hair; in the g the sole of the tarsi naked, with three 
rows of spines, on segment 5 two rows; all the claws without tooth, very asymmetrical in the fore 
tarsus, almost symmetrical in the others; in the $ the claws with tooth and. symmetrical, segment 5 
with four rows of spines and a moderate number of curved yellowish hairs. Forewing with areole, subcostal 2 
originating far beyond areole and 5 near the same, cross-vein deeply incurved in both wings, the angles 
of the cell being acute, i. e. less than 90°. Early stages unknown. — North India and Burma to 
Japan; three species. 
C. japona. Coxae black; abdomen beneath with large black spots. The Japanese-Chinese form 
formosana. is described in vol. 3. p. 6. — On Formosa formosana Myiake is found, which is not known to me 
in nature. The spots of the forewing are much smaller than in. C. j. japona and pure white like the 
apical spots of the hind wing. The author does not mention the colouring of the underside of the 
body. 1 <$ found in August at Taikokan. 
austeni. C. austeni Moore (le). Much smaller than japona Motsch. (vol. 3. p. 6, pi. lb). Coxae and 
femora with long yellow hair; the black markings of the abdomen smaller than in japona , claspers 
of G pure yellow and much shorter, anal tergite compressed, therefore much narrower in a dorsal 
view. The yellowish white spots of the forewing smaller, especially the discal ones; the black halfband 
of the hindwing not interrupted, the base of the hindwing more narrowly black, with a yellow costal 
streak on the underside. Assam; Central China. 
dubia. 0. dubia spec. nov. As large as japona. Fore coxae yellowish white, mid and hind coxae black 
with yellow hair at the apex; abdomen beneath without black spots. Spots of forewing smaller than 
in japona, the lower median spot larger than the cell-spot. Hindwing, instead of the abbreviated black 
band of austeni, with two round spots which, similarly as in japona, are not connected with the mar¬ 
ginal border. — Hsipaw, Burma, 1 $ in the British Museum. It is hardly possible to say from the 
few specimens which are known of austeni and dubia whether' these forms are really specifically distinct. 
3. Genus: S(Tol>i^ ra Jord. 
Frons without a distinct tubercle, convex. Eyes naked. Segment 3 of the palpi long and 
cylindrical, porreet, being especially long in the $. Apex of the abdomen in $ and the legs similar 
as in Fleta (p. 9). Venation very characteristic; forewing with areole, subcostal 1 branching off at 
3 /5 of the cell, subcostal 2 far beyond the areole, and 5 from its apex, radial 1 from below the upper 
angle of cell, radials 2 and 3 close together, median 1 far proximal to the lower cell-angle, median 2 
„ nearly on a level with subcostal 1; in the hindwing radial 2 and the cell-fold forked, forming at the
