TRIPHAENOPSIS. By W. Warren. 
ally shaded with blackish; a terminal series of small black spots with a slight greyish line in front of 
them; claviform stigma small, black; orbicular round, with dark dot in centre, obscurely margined; reni- 
form represented by two blackish bars; a bent median shade; hindwing black brown with a reddish tinge; 
an oblique orange band beyond cell from vein 6 to 2, slightly inangled below cell; some orange on 
termen in submedian interspace; fringe chequered, orange and fuscous, to vein 2, then orange, tipped 
with fuscous beyond submedian interspace. This species occurs in Ceylon and Burma; from the last 
lucens. locality comes a form, ab. lucens ab. nov. ( = ab. 1 . Hmps .) with less grey suffusion in forewing, and 
with the orange brighter beyond cell and at termen. 
vUliana. A. villiana Swinh. (19i). Forewing dark brown, with grey suffusion; inner line double, waved, 
angled outwards below costa; outer line double, bent outwards below costa, then waved and oblique 
below vein 4; subterminal line grey, preceded by dark suffusion, inangled on both folds; orbicular stigma 
small, round, with black dot at middle and outlined in black; reniform with black outline and a black 
bar at centre; hindwing redbrown, with darker terminal border, the inner edge of which is diffuse 
and irregular; fringe brownish grey. Singapore, Borneo, the Philippine Islands. This and the follo¬ 
wing species have no yellow in the hindwings. 
minor. A. minor Hmps. (19i). Forewing dark chocolate brown, largely suffused with grey; inner line 
double, curved and sinuous, followed by an oblique dark brown shade from costa to median vein; outer 
line indistinct, brown, dentate, oblique from costa to vein 6, inangled somewhat beyond cell, and 
incurved below vein 4, followed in costal area by a triangular red brown patch; an indistinct waved brown 
subterminal line; a row of slight brown spots on termen; stigmata obsolete; hindwing red brown, with 
broad dark terminal border; fringe pale rufous, Avitli a red brown line near base. Bombay and Kar- 
war, S. India; the $ only is known; much smaller than the other species and somewhat different 
in markings. 
45. Genus: Trljiliaeiio(»sis Btlr. 
Tongue fully developed; the frons smooth; palpi obliquely upturned, the second segment, typically, 
broad, and fringed with hair in front, the third short and smooth; antennae of shortly ciliated; thorax 
and abdomen slightly crested; forewing with apex blunt; the termen evenly curved and crenulate; neur- 
ation normal; hindwing, as a rule, yellow with broad dark terminal border, and the inner margin 
more or less dark-streaked. Type T. lucilla Btlr. 
Sect. I. Terminal s e g m ent of palpi as long as second, which is smoother.' 
pulcher- T. pulcherrima Moore (= largetaui Oberth., opulenta Btlr.) (19k; Vol. 3, pi. 44 h). Fore wing black brown 
rima. an q olive green, mixed with some reddish; inner and outer lines black, conversely edged with pale 
green; submarginal line pale green, indistinct, preceded by a blackish green shade, containing black wedge- 
shaped marks; an oblique diffuse median dark shade from costa to reniform; claviform stigma rufous 
with black edge, sometimes lost in a blackish suffusion between the two lines; orbicular and reniform 
olive green with black edges, the outer half of the reniform generally suffused with ochreous or green; 
hindwing orange, with a black border which is twice as wide above vein 5; the inner margin also broadly 
and diffusely black, not quite reaching outer border; fringe yelloAv, black betAveen veins 2 and 4, and 
coecata. again slightly towards anal angle; in the ab. coecata Warr. (19 k; Vol. 3, pi. 44h) the reniform is not filled 
maculata. up with pale, and the whole Aving is more or less suffused with purplish green; in ab. maculata Warr. 
the reniform is folloAved by an ochreous patch, while another similar patch stands on inner mar- 
nigriplaga. gin beyond outer line; a conspicuously distinct form, -— ab. nigriplaga Warr. (19k)—has the median space 
between inner and outer lines quite pale green from costa to submedian fold, the loAver half being occu¬ 
pied by a velvety black blotch with rounded upper edge; a smaller black blotch occupies the basal 
viridescens. area from costa to submedian fold; in a further development of this form, — ab. viridescens ab. nov. 
(19 i) — almost every trace of blackish shading is absent; these greener forms appear all to be taken 
at a higher elevation, above 7000 feet. A North Indian species found in the Punjab and Sikkim, in 
the latter place commonly; it is recorded with a query also from the Nilgiri Hills, Madras, S. India; 
Oberthur’s largetaui was from W. China and Amurland. 
Sect. II. Terminal segment of palpi short. 
confecta. T. confecta Walk. (— hyblaea Fldr.) (19k). Forewing olive broAvn with some black irroration; 
inner and outer lines blackish, double; the inner wavy; the outer bent out beloAV costa, then Avavecl 
and oblique to vein 4, beloAV which it is incurved; subterminal line grey, preceded by black spots be- 
Ioav costa and at middle, inangled on both folds; terminal lunules black; stigmata obscure; claviform 
slightly black-edgecl; orbicular round, with a black point in middle; reniform partially black-edged, Avith
