Show 490 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON [May 7, with discocellular spots, angulated discal stripes, and external borders black ; the apices, a triangular spot at the centre of each outer margin, the fringes, and some spots at the anal angle of secondaries white; body below whitish. Expanse 1 inch 7 lines. A pretty species, somewhat calling to mind the Geometrid genus Scotosia. 107. CAPNODES? CALIDA, n. sp. Bright clay-colour; wings with two very irregular central brown-bordered whitish dentate-sinuate lines from costa to inner margin, each dens terminating in a white dot; outer border red-brown, bounded internally by a pale zigzag line; a nearly marginal series of dots black internally and white externally : primaries with a snow-white spot and one or two dots at the end of the cell ; secondaries with a black-centred whitish spot at the end of the cell. Wings below considerably paler and irrorated with smoky brown ; secondaries whitish towards the base and inner border, the spots at the end of the cell less strongly defined than above, the lines obsolete. Expanse 1 inch 2 lines. This species has rather long palpi for a Capnodes, but in general form, style of coloration, and every thing else agrees with that genus. 108. URANIA SLOANUS, Cramer, Pap.

Under surface white; wings with black discocellular spots, pale greyish-brown discal belt, and black marginal dots; primaries with the costa black-spotted. Expanse 1 inch 6 lines. 113.
