L. hypenistis Hmps. (35 e). Similar to a more distinctly marked rufa. Forewing pale reddish brown, 
somewhat darker at the costal margin. Traces of double undulate interior and median lines. Reniform macula 
indicated by dark edges. Exterior line black, straight, oblique, white inside. Darker red-brown behind it. 
Submarginal line fine, dark. Hindwing somewhat diaphanous, brownish at the margin. 32 mm. Sikkim, 
Burma, Tonkin. 
L. tripartita Swh. (35 e). Forewing dark red-brown. Interior line whitish, straight, obliquely inward, 
broadly dark on both sides. Median line dark, undulate, parallel. Reniform macula finely edged with light. 
Exterior line dark, extra-angular below the costal margin, then straightly inward, distinctly edged with white 
outside. Submarginal line fine, dark, dentate. Hindwing dark brown. 30—34 mm. Malacca, Borneo, Java, 
Sumatra. 
L. buruana Holl. (35 e) shows a conspicuous colouring. Forewing dark brown, tinged with bronze green, 
a silvery green spot at the middle of the inner margin. Interior line double, undulate, median line black, un¬ 
dulate, both indistinct. Reniform macula irregular, rusty yellow, edged with black. Exterior line double, 
blackish, straight, undulate, greenish in the figure. Submarginal line silvery green with white dots before it. 
Hindwing dark brown, somewhat diaphanous in and below the cell. $ 28 mm. Buru. 
L. acuda Swh. (35 e) and the following species contain greenish colouring. Forewing brown, with a 
lilac gloss, pale bluish green in the basal area, obliquely cut off before the interior line, then continued along 
the inner margin as far as the exterior line. Interior line double, oblique, red-brown. Erect black scales in 
and below the middle of the cell. Reniform macula pale green, edged with black, prolonged to the costal margin. 
Traces of a blackish median fine. Exterior line double, undulate, parallel to the margin. Submarginal line 
grey, indistinct. Hindwing brown, hyaline at the base. 24 mm. 1 9 from Sumatra. 
L. viridaria Swh. (35 e). Forewfing pale green. A red-brown spot from the costal margin to the sub¬ 
median fold and to the exterior line. A blackish shadow from the centre of the distal margin inward to the 
reniform macula. Interior line double, undulate, indiscernible. Ring-macula grey, small, reniform macula 
rusty brown. Exterior line black, double, strongly excurved below the costal margin, then undulate, just as 
indistinct as the submarginal line. Hindwing copper-brown, somewhat darker at the apex. 26 mm. 1 J from 
Perak. 
L. glaucobasis Hmps. (35 f). Forewing reddish brown, with an intense greyish green tinge, greener in 
the basal area. Median line double, oblique, vertical at the inner margin. Reniform macula indistinct, edged 
with black scales. Exterior line distinctly black, extra-angular below the costal margin and excurved in the 
middle, a finer line behind it. Submarginal line grey, edged darker outside. Hindwing dark. 22 mm. 1 $ 
from Pulo Laut. 
L. chlorograpta Hmps. (35 f). Forewfing greyish brown, a faded dark dot at the middle of the costal 
margin. Narrow pale green stripes in the basal area obliquely outward. A few brown stripes in the marginal 
area parallel to the distal margin. Hindwing pale brown. 20 mm. 1 $ from Singapore. 
L. sordida Warr. Forewing brownish ochreous, darker at the costal margin. A dull brown spot at the 
inner margin at the base. Interior line double, brown, very undulate, median line close behind it, both very 
near to the base. Exterior line widely excurved below the costal margin, notched, parallel to the margin. Ring- 
macula pale, large, flat, reniform macula brown, large. Submarginal line pale brown, edged with dark lunae 
on both sides, tw r o of them in the middle inside blackish. Hindwing dark brown, somewhat paler at the base. 
The $ is paler ochreous, the marking more distinct, the hindwing pale greyish brown. bimaculata Warr. 
is the name of a $ with tw'o large black spots. One of them in the submedian fold before the middle, the other 
spot behind the middle between veins 2 and 4 at the exterior line. 30 mm. Assam. 
L. brunneata Warr. Forewing dull red-brown, the margins diffusely black. 3 or 4 undulate dark lines 
at the base. Interior line black, double, angular, enclosing a black spot in the submedian fold. Median line 
parallel to it, touching the oval reniform macula, notched below it. Just as notched is the double exterior 
line and two other lines before the submarginal line which terminates with a white spot at the anal end. Hind¬ 
wing somewhat hyaline at the base. The $ is of a much brighter red-brown, not edged with black, only a black 
spot at the middle of the costal margin. 34 mm. New Guinea. 
L. albistellata Warr. The reddish brown ground-colour covered by numerous black lines and shadows, 
black at the inner margin as far as the exterior line. Interior line black, double. Blackish spots in the cell. 
Median line double, black, angled below the costal margin and also at veins 4 and 1; veins 3 and 4 before it
