Syntypes, male and female, pinned: Specimen data: Specimen no.1474: “Syn | Type” [Round, red-bordered label]. “Belgaum. | Watson Coll. | 97-193. | Aug 96”[Printed]. “ 1903-19| 1474” [Printed]. Specimen no. 1209: “Syn | Type” [Round, redbordered label]. “Belgaum. | Watson Coll. | 97-193. | Aug 96” [Printed]. “B.M. dupl. | 1912-53| 1209” [Printed].
Remarks: These two specimens, donated to RSM by BM(NH) in 1903 & 1912 respectively, are without doubt part of the original syntypeseries, which included 33 & 3Ƥ collected by Watson at Belgaum, Madras ( Hampson, 1910). The species is illustrated in colour in Pl. CLXVI: fig. 28 ( Hampson, 1911). Poole (1989)erroneously suggests that the [holo] typeis in the BM(NH).
