PARALLELIA. By M. Gaede. 483 
of the band outwardly. The thorax is brownish posteriorly as in roulera and frontina. Probably only a subform 
of infractifinis. 38 mm. New Guinea. 
P. roulera Swh. (47 f). Of the same ground colour as hitherto, no pale spots at base. The white median roulera. 
band is notched finely inwards on its proximal side at median nervure, outwardly it is dentated at the lower 
angle of cell. It occasionally encloses a dark spot with white scales above, which can be continued down to inner 
margin. Posteriorly a small white costal streak. A pale submarginal line is sometimes indicated. Fringes of 
both wings white. 32—38 mm. Key Islands, New Guinea. 
P. frontina Don. ( pvrrhargyra Wkr.) (47 f). Ground colour is somewhat darker than hitherto. A frontina. 
few blue-white dots on costa. The white median band narrow, somewhat enwidened at costa and inner margin, 
projecting in a point on median nervure. The white costal spot distally very small. Fringes brownish white 
on forewings, white on hindwings. 42—45 mm. Australia. 
P. propyrrha Wkr. (53 c). In colouration and through the median band somewhat like rigidistria Gn. propyrrha. 
Forewings red-brown with lilac sheen. The fuscous inner line undulate, indistinct. Median line distinct, dark 
brown, straight, vertical, with narrow lilac-wliite edge outwardly. Distally a fine brown, somewhat undulate 
line, faintly outwards, curved at vein 3 and 4. parallel to median line below vein 2. Postmedian line similarly 
faint, somewhat angulated at vein 6 and 3 and then inwards. Distally a conical lilac-white spot on costa. Hind- 
wings dark brown, devoid of markings. 45—50 mm. Australia. Fiji Islands. 
P. feneratrix Gn. (53 c). If the illustration given by Hampson is good, this species is differentiable by feneralrix. 
the rusty red antemedian band and the outer edge of the postmedian line. Forewings red-brown and lilac-grey, 
outer area coppery red except at costa. Antemedian line red-brown, diffuse, incurved, with outer lilac-grey 
edge. Reniform stigma with irregular brown surround. Median line distinct, vertical, with pale outer edge; 
below it a brown line somewhat inwards, with a large arc. Postmedian line oblique to vein 6, distally thereof 
a conical lilac-grey spot, then undulate downwards to vein 4 and inwards vertically from vein 2. Behind the 
postmedian line dark to the indiscernible submarginal line. Hindwings dark brown. 45—50 mm. Java, 
melanochrous Rothsch. is blacker, grey costal mark is more triangular. Sumatra. melano- 
ehrous. 
P. onelia Gn. (= 1 uteipalpis Wkr.) (53 c). Very similar to the preceding in colouration and marking, onelia. 
Antemedian line double, red-brown, the inner branch somewhat undulate, the outer oblique, diffuse inwardly. 
A brown streak at disco-cellular. Median and postmedian lines, as well as apical spot as in feneratrix. Sub¬ 
marginal line varies, anteriorly white, angulated outwards at vein 7, then indistinct, brown. On hindwings 
the pale submarginal line is rather less short. 40—50 mm. India, Ceylon, Malacca. Tonkin, Philippines, Sunda 
Islands. — The larva is grey-white dorsally, olive-grey ventrally. On each segment small black spots arranged 
in rows, on 4th segment a red lateral spot, the two first pairs of abdominal legs stunted. On Phyllanthus. The 
pupa covered with white dust. 
P. umbrosa Wkr. (= obumbrata Wkr.) (53 c). This rembles a small, somewhat paler onelia. As it umbrosa. 
occurs in China it is dealt with in Vol. III. p. 331, pi. 61 d. Median line more vertical than in onelia , inwardly 
a brown band is attached to the line and anteriorly before base an additional one. Postmedian line has the 
same shape but is less undulate than in onelia. On hindwings 2 fine pale bands. 34—40 mm. India, Malacca, 
Tonkin, Sunda Islands. 
P. tnissionarii Hulst. Forewings somewhat more elongate than otherwise, similar to a small illibata, missionarii. 
only owing to the pale antemedian line with its dark interfilling, it is probably more like feneratrix or lageos. 
Forewings uniformly red-brown, somewhat grey behind the postmedian line at costa, somewhat bluish on inner 
margin at base. The lines paler reddish brown. Antemedian line fine, oblique, slightly incurved. Median line 
only in a pale spot on costa. Reniform stigma narrow, with pale brown surround, darker centre. Postmedian 
line pale, with dark outer edge, widely angulated outwards at vein 6, then boldly incurved, excurved again at 
vein 2 and once more incurved. Hindwings dark brown without a median line. 40 mm. One $ from Tenimber. 
P. lageos Gn. (53 d). Whilst it may be difficult to differentiate between the 3 preceding species, lageos lageos. 
is easily recognisable by the distinct dentate white submarginal line. Forewings coppery brown. Median line 
band-like, undulate, vertical. Proximally indistinct bands, distally a pale one. Outer margin whiter than in 
the 3 preceding species. On hindwings 2 pale lines as in umbrosa. 35 mm. Java, Sumbawa, Amboina. 
P. circumsignata Gn. (53 d). Recognisable by the spot at inner margin of hindwings. Wings pale red- circumsigna- 
brown. Antemedian line dark on forewings, angulated outwards to centre of cell, then vertically, incurved in 
centre. A whitish shade extends from lower angle of cell to inner margin near the antemedian line. From the 
subapical brownish white spot there is a median and postmedian line parallel to margin, dentate, dark. Sub¬ 
marginal line white, incurved at costa, then brown, indistinct, undulate. On hindwings the marginal area is 
darker, with continuous whitish discal line and shorter submarginal line; a black spot between the two at inner 
margin. 45 mm. Assam.
