400 LABANDA. By M. Gaede. 
39. Genus: I^abamla Wkr. 
Nearly all the species of this purely Indo-Australian genus are green, recognizable by the long thin ab¬ 
domen. Type: herbealis Wkr. 
L. huntei 1 Van. (= viridescens B.-Bak.) (38 e) differs from the other species in its orange hindwing. 
Forewing dark green, dusted brown. Interior line white, obliquely outward, rectangularly extra-angular in the 
submedian fold. A dark spot at the cross-vein. Exterior line green, edged with brown inside, excurved behind 
the cell, inward at vein 3, slightly excurved at vein 1. An oblique faded dark band from the costal margin to 
the anal angle. An oblique blackish band from near the apex to vein 6 and along the margin to vein 3. $ 35 mm. 
New Guinea. 
L. ceylusalis Wkr. (38 e). Forewing .pale green and brown, lighter in the marginal area. Interior line 
white, edged with black on both sides, broader on the inside, slightly incurved in the cell, somewhat outward 
below it. A short faded black band behind the cell. Exterior line white, black inside, oblique, as far as vein 6, 
incurved below vein 4, then dentate. Submarginal line extending from a faded black spot to vein 6, then com¬ 
posed of notched black spots. Hindwing brown, yellow at the margin. 34—42 mm. Singapore, Borneo. 
L. keyalis sp. n. (38 f) resembles ceylusalis in the shape of the lines. Dark green. Interior line black, 
double, filled with light green, extra-angular below the costal margin, then vertical, broadly edged with black 
inside. A black dot at the cross-vein. Exterior line pale green, extending as in ceylusalis , but below the costal 
margin at first slightly pressed downward, excurved behind the cell, sharply angled at vein 1, not so as in saturalis. 
Intense black spots before the margin, those of saturalis being smaller. 30 mm. Key Is. Type in the Berlin 
Zook Museum. 
L. chloromela Wkr. (38 f). Forewing yellowish green, tinged with dark brown for the greatest part. 
Interior line white, edged dark, extra-angular below the costal margin and outward in the submedian fold, then 
vertical. Adjoining to it in the cell a black dot and a larger one at the cross-vein. Exterior line also white, far 
outward at vein 6. then parallel to the margin notched straightly inward. Submarginal line uniformly finely 
notched. Hindwing dark brown. $ 25 mm. Ceylon. Since 1858 no other specimen seems to have been found. 
L. viridalis Swh. (38 f). Forewing bluish green, the base dark as far as the interior line. The latter 
white, notched, obliquely outward. Faded dark at the middle of the costal margin. A black lima at the cross¬ 
vein. Exterior line black, edged white in front outside, notched extra-angular as far as vein 5, then finer black, 
notched inward. Dark behind it at the costal margin. Submarginal line of dark spots. Hindwing brown. 25 to 
30 mm. Assam, Malacca, Tonkin. 
L. fasciata Wkr. ( - muscosa Wkr.) (38 f'). Forewing greenish grey, dusted dark. Interior line white, 
straight, oblique, undulate, edged with a diffuse dark colour inside. A black dot in the centre of the cell and a 
spot at the cross-vein. A dark band from the lower cell-angle to the inner margin. Exterior line diffuse dark, 
obliquely outward as far as behind the cell, then vertical. Submarginal line white, irregular, broadly edged 
dark inside. Hindwing dark brown. Typical specimens exhibit a broad faded black band on the forewing. But 
the median area may also be more or less white: albosuffusa Strd. 34—40 mm. India, Ceylon, Burma. 
L. saturalis Wkr. (= viridalis Mr.) (38 g). Forewing green, dusted dark. Interior line indistinct, double, 
its exterior branch in the cell with a long point. A small luna at the cross-vein with an adjoining band to the 
inner margin. Exterior line indistinct, obliquely outward from the costal margin, excurved behind the cell, 
vertical from vein 2. Submarginal line of irregular spots. Hindwing red-brown. 28—35 mm. India, Burma, 
Tonkin, Borneo, Ceram. 
L. achine Fldr. (38 g). Forewing green, densely dusted brown, browner in the distal half. Interior line 
dark, edged with green on both sides, slightly undulate. A black spot at the cross-vein. Exterior line also edged 
with green on both sides, outward as far as vein 6, incurved below vein 4 and extra-angular at vein 1. Sub¬ 
marginal line faded green, edged with brown inside. Hindwing dark brown. — The forewing may also be dark¬ 
ened at the exterior line: fuscosuffusa Strd. — or dusted white behind the interior line: antemialis Strd. 30 to 
36 mm. Ceylon. 
L. affinis Hulst. resembles achine (38 g) in its size and colour, but the lines have a different shape and 
position. Median area of forewing more densely dusted black. Interior line fine, green, edged with black inside, 
inward as far as below the cell, then somewhat outward to vein 1. A black transverse streak at the middle of 
the costal margin. The green exterior line broad and vertical to the upper cell-angle, widely extra-angular as 
far as vein 3, inward in the submedian fold, edged with black on both sides, especially broadly outside as far as 
vein 4, then the black edge extends to the anal angle. Submarginal line black, close at the margin. Hindwing 
dark brown. torniflora Hulst. lacks the lower part of the black band, the anal angle is thereby much greener. 
30—34 mm. Key I.
