HYPHILARE. By‘*W. Warren. 
except on costal area; a conspicuous redbrown shade from base through the cell to apex, at base extending 
below cell; costal and inner-marginal areas slightly irrorated with fuscous; outer half of median vein white, 
slightly hooked on discocellular; veins 4 and 3 white; veins terminally defined by redbrown streaks, the 
interspaces with redbrown streaks; an oblique ochreous shade from apex; outer line marked by black 
points, or traces of teeth; hindwing white, the terminal area brown from apex to vein 2, running up below 
cell to rise of vein 2. Borneo and Burma; also from Formosa. 
cryptargy- H. cryptargyrea Beth.-Baker (11 h). Forewing greyish ochreous; the costa paler, with faint dark irro- 
ra». ra tion; a pale oblique streak from apex widening and more diffusely edged towards inner margin; the 
cell and terminal area greyish fuscous; the veins slightly paler; inner and outer lines marked by black 
vein spots, the outer double; a slight pale spot at lower angle of cell; fringe fuscous grey; hindwing dull 
nigristriata. fuscous, the costal and innermarginal areas paler; the fringe whitish; a very distinct form ab. nigristriata 
ab. nov. (11 h) has a long black streak from base along submedian fold and a shorter oblique one above 
inner margin near base; the lower half of cell, and the base of the intervals beyond it, and streaks to termen 
along the intervals between veins 2 and 6, all deep black; the outer half of median vein and the spot at end 
of cell snow white; the fuscoxis tints are rather stronger, and the whole wing faintly rufous-tinged. New 
Guinea; the type from Dinawa; 3 including the abberration, in the Tring Museum from Haidana, Colling- 
wood Bay, April 1907 (A. S. Meek). In the hindwing the termen is visibly bent at vein 4 and slightly incurved 
above between 4 and 6. 
dedsissima. H. decisissima Walk. (= nareda Fldr., pulchra Snell.) (11 i). Forewing ochreous suffused more or less 
uniformly with rufous; the intervals towards termen streaked with deeper rufous; inner and outer lines marked 
by brown vein spots, sometimes partially connected by brown; the inner outcurved in middle, the outer oblique 
below middle, in line with the edge of the dark triangular subapical shade; terminal half of median 
vein white, forming a slight projection on discocellular, containing a black dot at lower angle of cell and fol¬ 
lowed by a small dark patch; hindwing grey, the costal area remaining pale ochreous; the rufous brown 
suffusion is strongest in the typical form from N. India, Sikkim, Bhutan, the Punjab, and Assam; -— in the 
lanceata. paler form lanceata Moore (lli) the whole forewing is more varied, the contrast between the pale groxxnd colour 
and the darker shades and lines being more striking; this appears to be the usual form in S. India and Ceylon 
decolor, and through the Islands to New Guinea, and generally of the $$ everywhere; — a third form ab. decolor 
ab. nov. (11 i) is uniform pale ochreous without dark suffusion and slightly smaller, occurring in the Khasia and 
Naga Hills, and hardly distinguishable, except on underside of <$, from laniata Hmps.\ other localities are 
Burma, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Singapore, Sumatra, Borneo, Halmaheira, and New Guinea. 
aureola. H. aureola Lucas. Forewing ochreous brown; the veins and streaks in the interspaces reddish brown; 
a strongly marked brown streak from base to % below median vein; a black dot in lower angle of cell, followed 
by another beyond cell; a dark triangular terminal shade below apex; the outer line expressed by vein 
dots only; terminal dots black; fringe ochreous brown; hind wing dusted with scattered smoky brown scales 
and towards termen with fuscous suffusion; underside of both wings glossy golden. Recorded from Brisbane, 
Queensland. 
subsignata. H. subsignata Moore (lli, and Vol. 3, pi. 23e). Forewing olive ochreous suffused with rufous, espec¬ 
ially towards termen, the costa remaining ochreous; lines indicated by dark vein dots, the outer often 
double; orbicular and reniform stigmata ill-defined, yellowish ochreous, without dusting; a slight dark dot 
at lower angle of cell and patch beyond it; a paler oblique streak from apex, with a darker shade below it; 
the spots of both lines sometimes show traces of very sinuous connecting threads; fringe grey brown; hind- 
suffu.sa. wing fuscous, the costal area ochreous; a form occurs, ab. suffusa ab. nov. (11 k) in which the whole forewing 
is rufous, without a trace of markings except the pale stigmata; the hindwing is also rufous-tinged. Punjab, 
N. India; also in Kashmir. 
H. simplex Leech (lli, k and Vol. 3, pi. 24a). Forewing greyish ochreous, with little dusting; cell 
and space beyond faintly browner; a brown triangular shade below apex; a faint pale spot at lower angle 
of cell; hindwing ochreous whitish, the terminal half dark grey. This species, described originally from Central 
China, occurs also in the Khasia Hills, Assam, and in the Island of Formosa. 
In the rest of the genus the wings are without metallic scaling on the underside. 
H. loreyi Dup. ( = caricis Tr., exsanguis Guen., curvula Walk., collecta Walk., exterior Walk., thoracica 
Walk., designata Walk., denotata Walk.) (Vol. 3, pi. 22 e, f). Forewing greyish ochreous; the veins pale 
lined with brown, the intervals with brown lines; a short black streak from base below cell; median 
nervure thickly outlined with fuscous to beyond cell; reniform stigma indicated by a white dot at lower angle 
of cell; outer line by a row of black dots on veins; a triangular brown subapical patch edged above 
by an oblique pale streak from apex; hindwing white, the veins towards termen fuscous; abdominal tufts 
beneath formed of coarse scale-like brown black hairs. Larva reddish grey, yellowish between the segments; 
simplex.
