yellow scales and with coppery coloured surround. The veins are blue-grey at lower angle of cell. The white 
inner outline of the central spot is more obliquely outwards over the inner margin and terminates slightly 
higher above inner margin. Outer line is similarly curved as in cornucopia, but extends below vein 2 further 
to the junction with the inner line. A faintly “S” shaped curved submarginal row of dots is indicated. 
Hindwings grey-brown, widely coppery brown at margin. 32 mm. 1 $ from Malacca. — columbina Warr., columbina. 
described from 1 $ from Malacca is probably the same species and would then have rights of priority. 
Warren compares the central spot with the head of a dove including the neck; the white spot of the reni- 
form stigma represents the eye. 
W. equina Warr. Smaller than columbina. Forewings paler grey. The central prolongation of the dark equina. 
marginal shade extends to below vein 1 and is obtusely rounded. The inner edge is fairly vertical. Reniform 
stigma is narrower with a black spot above and a yellow or white spot below. Markings represent the head 
of a horse. Key Islands. 
W. ichneumonis Warr. A brilliant ochreous grey-brown, darker at costa and inner margin. The dark ichneumonis. 
lilac red-brown central mark with white edge is similar to the head of an ant-eater. The reniform stigma 
therein is like a dark brown lunule with pale edge. Hindwings white with dark margin. — flavipuncta Warr. flavipuncta. 
has a yellow spot between veins 2 and 3 and below the cell. Only the <§ form has been captured. 30—36 mm. 
New Guinea and neighbouring islands. 
W. coelisigna Hmps. (41 1). Forewings grey-brown, somewhat reddish. Central spot dark chocolate- coelisigna. 
brown completely enclosed by the white inner and outer lines. The inner edge is much more vertical at costa 
than in cornucopia, the postmedian extends vertically to vein 3 and is then incurved. A dark reniform stigma 
with pale edge is indicated. Outer margin is olive-brown, paler towards the apex and sharply cut off at vein 2. 
Hindwings brownish, darker at margin, 26—30 mm. Borneo, Ceylon, India. — In obsoleta Strd. reniform obsoleta. 
stigma is quite indiscernible. One $ of this form is known from the Louisiad Islands. 
W. tapiri Warr. is very similar to cornucopia (42 i). The dark central marking extends to costa. Outer tapiri. 
half of costal area is pale grey-brown. Inner marginal line of the central marking is incurved in the cell, its 
outer end however inclines to be excurved. Reniform stigma and the veins at lower angle of cell are not 
bluish-white. Outer marginal line proceeds at first outwards to vein 8, then vertically to the pale arc under 
the central marking. An undulate dark submarginal line is indicated. Hindwings whitish, darker at margin. 
A few r^d 1 from St. Aignan and Fergusson islands. 
W. breviceps Warr. Very similar to tapiri. Central spot dark lilac-brown, not brown and with heavy breviceps. 
white circumscription. The inner edge is boldly curved, it is not incurved in the cell, the end below is shorter 
and heavier, the arc more obtuse. Hindwings whiter, with dark edge. One $ from the Rock Island. 
W. picta Mr. Varies considerably from the preceding. Forewings grey-brown. In centre of inner picta. 
margin a black triangle with its apex extending to the cell, conjoining with a streak in the cell. Behind this 
a large black spot, that is somewhat bluish above the inner margin, enclosing behind the cell a deep red long¬ 
itudinal stripe; disco-cellular with grey-brown streak. Outer line formed by the widely excurved outline of 
this spot, extending from vein 2 downwards as a double line, parallel to the outer margin. In apical area 
narrowly grey-brown, with black lunules at margin. Hindwings brown. $ 36 mm. Sikkim, Assam. Tonkin. 
50. Genus: Plagiograpta Fmps. 
Palpi long and attenuate projecting obliquely. Antennae of almost simple. Abdomen long and 
narrow. Thorax without tuft, tegulae shaped like a hat. Forewings elongate, no accessory cell, vein 10 + 8 
+ 9 stalked. On hindwings vein 3 -f- 4 with long stalk, 5 arising somewhat removed. The Genus consists 
of only 1 species. 
P. macrodonta Hmps. (43 f). Forewings grey-brown with heavy white radial band through the cell macrodonta. 
and continuing somewhat more narrowly to the apex. Below the band a few fine white lines. The white sub¬ 
marginal line straight, somewhat angulated at vein 3. Hindwings grey-brown. 22 mm. India. — The pupa 
is in a boat shaped cocoon. 
51. Genus: JSTertobriga Wkr. 
Palpi thin and porrect, somewhat shorter than in Plagiograpta. Forewings very wide and short, neur- 
ation however as in Plagiograpta. On hindwings vein 3 and 4 is not stalked. Type signata Wkr. All species 
belong to the indo-australian territory. 
N. signata Wkr. (= reversa Wkr., leucosjnla Wkr., apicalis Mr.) (31 i). Forewings reddish brown, signata. 
somewhat suffused with lilac. Inner line dark and indistinct, slightly curved outwards in the cell, then curved 
inwards. At upper angle of cell a minute black dot, at the lower angle a white dot. A white sharply defined tri¬ 
angular spot on costa before apex. Outer line dark olive-brown from apex to beyond the centre of the inner 
margin. The very indistinct submarginal line extends from vein 6 along the outer line to the angle. Hind¬ 
wings brown. — subterminalis Strd. has white scales on the submarginal line. — Specimens that are lilac-blackish subtermina-
