SASUNAGA. By W. Warren. 
with a black patch above and below it; inner and outer lines double, blackish, the inner filled in with 
olive, the outer with white; orbicular stigma small, round, olive defined by black; the reniform 
with black scales at middle and on each side; submarginal line white, plain through the dark scaling; ter¬ 
minal black and white lunules; hindwing dark brown tinged with reddish; fringe whitish tinged with redbrown. 
Pore-wing grey, suffused in basal half with fuscous, and beyond strongly tinged with reddish; no white 
streak from base; the inner line preceded by blackish blotches; the cell black before and beyond the 
orbicular stigma; the veins towards termen finely black; hindwing triangular, the termen nearly straight; 
patagia pale grey mixed with dark. The $ was described from the Kinta Valley, Perak; in the Tring Mu¬ 
seum are 3 and 1 <$ from Gunong Ijau, Perak, Malay Peninsula, and 4 from Angabunga River, 
Biagi, Upper Setekwa River, and the Ninay Valley respectively. 
tenebrosa. S. tertebrosa Moore (15 c). Forewing pale wood brown, almost wholly suffused in the $ with dark 
red brown and fuscous, the pale ground colour showing only as longitudinal streaks alternating with 
the dark veins; in the $ the ground colour is more or less visible in a semioval costal patch extending 
from beyond middle to apex; and also along basal half of inner margin; the lines are ill-defined, double, 
black, filled in with the pale ground colour, and strongly dentate; the subterminal line pale, preceded by 
blackish patches at costa, middle, and inner margin; a black streak from base below cell, and a black 
patch in submedian fold before outer line, sometimes ill-defined or obsolete; claviform stigma black-edged; 
orbicular round, brown in an ochreous ring edged with black; reniform brown with irregular paler outline, 
internally black edged, externally dentate; hindwing deep olive fuscous, paler towards base; in the 
albistriga. ab. albistrlga ab. nov. ( = ab. 1, Hmps.) (15 c) there is a short white streak below median vein between 
the black streak from base and that before outer line, apparently more common in the $ than in the ; 
olivata. the ab. olivata ab. nov. (= ab. 4 Hmps.) has the ground colour olive ochreous suffused with olive fuscous 
bistriga. and blackish; in the ab. bistriga ab. nov. ( = ab. 5 Hmps.) (15 d) tins form is further differentiated by 
two white streaks, one before the inner line, as in albistriga, the other in submedian interval beyond outer 
longistriata. line; the ab. longisfriata ab. nov. (= ab. 2 Hmps.) (15 d) has a diffuse white streak along submedian 
fold from base towards termen, with generally above it a blackish fuscous streak through cell and 
interstri- beyond; lastly the ab. interstrigata ab. nov. (= ab. 3 Hmps.) (15 d) has the ground colour paler wood 
gcttn. brown, with the black blotch on basal half of costa produced through cell to termen below middle; 
except in albistriga these examples are all The species occurs throughout India, in Assam, Sikkim, 
and the Punjab in the North, and Bombay and Madras in the south, in Ceylon, the Malay peninsula, Hai¬ 
nan, New Guinea, and Queensland, N. Australia; the form interstrigata seems confined to Ceylon, while 
olivata and bistriga are Sikkim forms. 
oenistis. S. oenistis Hmps. ( 15 d). §. Forewing with costal half from base to reniform deep reddish fuscous; 
the cell before and beyond orbicular stigma and a costal blotch beyond outer line black; a whitish streak 
from base of costa oblique to submedian fold, the inner margin below it smooth, leaden grey, beyond, 
to outer line, a mixture of ochreous, grey, pink, and green; at the end of the whitish basal streak a 
black triangle; orbicular stigma small and round, rufous grey; reniform with central brown lunule ringed 
with whitish ochreous, broader externally, the space beyond it to outer line whitish ochreous, crossed 
by a fine black line from reniform through outer line with some vinous fuscous above it; outer line double, 
filled in with white in upper half, lunulate dentate, marked with black teeth on the veins below; a 
rufous spot at apex, from which the pale interrupted subterminal line runs; terminal area below apex 
purplish fuscous; a terminal row of black rufous-tipped lunules; fringe purple fuscous; forewing longer 
and narrower, wholly rufous grey dusted with dark; no white streak from base, but the black triangle 
present between the subbasal and inner lines; reniform stigma reddish grey like the orbicular, but shaped 
like a bird’s head with a pale outline; the black blotch beyond outer line present on costa, but no black 
area from base to reniform; hindwing deep reddish fuscous in $, more coppery-tinged in the <$, triangular, 
the anal angle strongly produced. British New Guinea. 
leucorina. S. leucorina Hmps. (15d, e). $ Forewing olive green in basal half, olive fuscous beyond; the veins 
and intervals towards termen finely black; inner line double, oblique and dentate, inbent to inner mar¬ 
gin; outer line whitish, strongly outcurved beyond cell, below vein 3 marked with black, lunulate dentate; 
cell black; orbicular stigma green, round; reniform grey green, darker internally, paler and dentate ex¬ 
ternally, followed by two diffuse dark olive streaks with vein 6 black between them, filling up the curve 
of the outer line; subterminal line whitish preceded by a costal black blotch and followed by a pale 
green apical space crossed by three dark streaks; space on each side of subterminal line rufous fuscous, 
with blackish streaks; hindwing dark greyish fuscous; $ smooth olive green mixed with leaden grey and 
fuscous; a white streak from base of costa to middle of submedian fold, indented by a black triangular 
blotch; cell black; stigmata pale olive green, the reniform not produced or dentate exteriorly; the curve 
of outer line filled in with olive green; a greenish white apical blotch; terminal area dark olive fuscous, 
traversed by the pale subterminal line; a thick black streak on inner margin before middle; hindwing 
olive fuscous; patagia in $ whitish; in $ rufous, green, and black intermixed. British New Guinea.
