[Jan. 16, A. lactinea: fore wing with narrower costal vermilion-red band; small black spot at upper end of the cell, another at the base between upper and middle median veins, two on the submedian vein at about one third the length apart: hind wing with a moderately broad black continuous marginal band, and a large broad lunule at end of the cell. Collar and vertex vermilion; abdomen with orange^yellow and black segmental bands, of which the upper and lower black bands are broadest; side of abdomen also black; palpi beneath and fore and mid femora above vermilion ; palpi above and two streaks on pectus black ; femora at tip, streak down tibiae, and bands on tarsi black. Expanse 2f inches. Hab. Nepal (Gen. Ramsay). In coll. F. Moore. Fam. NOTODONTID^. The name Corma, which I proposed in P. Z. S. 1881, p. 326, has been previously used by Mr. Walker for a genus of Chalcosiidae. I therefore substitute A M B A D R A : the two species cited by me under Corma will now stand as AMBADRA HORSFIELDII. Eumeta horsfieldii, Moore, Catal. Lep. E.I. C. ii. p. 430 (1859). Hab. Java. AMBADRA RAFFLESII. Eumeta rafflesii, Moore, Catal. Lep. E.I. C. ii. p. 430 (1859). Hab. Java. BARADESA, n. g. Fore wing long, narrow, costa slightly arched, apex acute; exterior margin oblique, posterior angle convex; first subcostal emitted at nearly one half before end of the cell, second from close to the end, trifid, third thrown off at two thirds, fourth at three fifths, fifth from end of the cell and joined to second at one third its length by a short spur; upper discocellular oblique and concave at lower end, lower discocellular concave ; upper radial thrown off from the fifth subcostal at one half distance beyond end of the cell and its juncture with the second subcostal, lower radial from middle of discocellulars ; upper median branch from end of the cell, middle median from near tbe end, lower median from one third before the end ; submedian curved at the base. Hind wing large, broadly triangular, costa slightly arched towards the base, apex extending beyond posterior angle of fore wing, exterior margin waved and convex in the middle, abdominal margin short ; cell short; two subcostal branches on a foot-stalk beyond the cell; upper and lower discocellulars concave, radial from the angle in their middle ; two upper medians from immediately beyond the cell, lower at one third before the end ; submedian and internal veins straight.
