HYPERYTHRA SWINHOEI. 8 • Hyperythra swinhoei, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. v. p. 223 (1880); P.Z.S. 1881, p. 614, n. 61. 2 . " Mhow, February 1882 ; taken also at Depalpore late in November; there are two examples in my collection from Solun, month not marked, and one from Umballa taken in April " Corresponds with my Kurrachee examples of Hyperythra phan-tasma, named by you in P. Z. S. May 1881, p. 615, except as to shade of ground-colour of wings; but one of the Solun examples is identically the same as the Kurrachee ones."-C. S. The example sent is of a brownish flesh-tint; it is darker and more strongly marked than the males hitherto received; it has the characteristic subapical black spots on the secondaries strongly defined ; in H. phantasma, an almost white species, of which I only know the female, these spots are entirely absent. A male (in the Museum collection) appears to me to be unquestionably a dark form of H. swinhoei ; it is of the same colour as the female now sent; and was taken by my sister, Dr. F. Butler, at Jubbulpore. 124. NEMORIA CARNIFRONS, sp. n. Pale opaque emerald-green ; wings crossed beyond the middle by a straight white stripe ; fringe whitish ; primaries with the costa white; vertex of head pale buff; frons reddish brown: collar and shoulders white, thorax and tegulae green ; abdomen white : wings below paler than above; body below white; anterior coxae and femora reddish. Expanse of wings 24 mm. " Mhow, in September 1881, common here during that month. I have also specimens from Solun taken in June."-C. S. 125. NEMORIA PRUINOSA. Nemoria pruinosa, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist, ser 5, vol. v. p. 224, n. 19 (1880); P. Z. S. 1881, p. 616, n. 64. "Kurrachee, September 1879; one taken there in May, and three in December."-C. 8. 126. THALASSODES, sp. Probably a new species, but not in sufficiently good condition for description. "Mhow, September 1831 ; not common here."-C. S. 127. EPHYRA DHARMSALA, sp. n. Deep flesh-reddish ; wings deeper reddish towards external border ; a central irregular rather narrow greyish band with slightly darker borders ; basal third of primaries traversed by five parallel ill-defined reddish lines ; the central band on these wings marked with 1 o* |
