This is a very abundant,^ Avidely distributed, and somewhat variable species. 
sometimes tinged pink. 
Our examples of lihythea from Assam and Ceylon are all more heavily dusted with dark scales. 
217. Terias Candida Cramer. (S. IMoluceas), 
This species is easily recognised by its sharply defined broad da.rk margins and by the absence of 
markings beneath.

Our records are all from Cape York Peninsula. The sexmark of the male consists of a patch of 
silky ^ey scales on both sides of the median vein of forewing beneath. We do not consider that 
Australian specimens can be separated from the Am race.

, This is an exceedingly abundant, Avidespread, and variable race of liecahe. In India, and elsewhere 
n examples marked as in fig. 549 are supposed to represent the Avetseason form, and-those 
uKc fig. 548 the dryseason form. In Australia these forms are not seasonal: on the Richmond R. Ave 
have captured fresh examples of both forms on the same day, and from other localities we have many 
examples of both forms taken in the same month.
