Show 1892.] LEPIDOPTERA FROM SANDAKAN. 125 AGNIDRA CARNEA, n. sp. (Plate VI. fig. 3.) 3. Sericeous pale brownish flesh-colour, sparsely irrorated with blackish atoms, which are most abundant on the outer half of the secondaries: primaries crossed by two very indistinct oblique darker lines-the first before the middle, irregular, almost }-shaped, the second regular, discal, more oblique, elbowed below apex ; a submarginal series of rosy spots on the veins: secondaries with two whitish stigmata on the discocellulars; under surface rosy flesh-coloured, veins ochraceous; wings sprinkled with black atoms; primaries crossed by an oblique grey discal stripe, which is vaguely continued by the black atoms across the secondaries ; fore tibiae scarlet. Expanse of wings 35 millim. Although the apices of the primaries are broken the specimen of this very distinct species in the collection is sufficiently perfect for description. BOMBYCID^E. ERNOLATIA SIGNATA. Emolatia signata, Walker, Journ. Linn. Soc. vi. p. 131. One female. A discoloured male in the Museum from Java is named " Ocinara lida," Moore. CARADRINIDJE. P R O D E N I A LITTORALIS. Hadena littoralis, Boisduval, Faune Ent. de Madag. p. 91. n. 2, pi. 13. fig. 8. CALLOPISTRIID^E. I have waded laboriously through Walker's long paper on the Lepidoptera of Sarawak in the ' Journal of the Linnean Society' without being able to identify the three following species with certainty ; the first, however, is probably his Eutelia ? consentanea, and therefore I so name it, although it is not a Eutelia but belongs to a new genus allied to Hyperdasys. PACHYDASYS, n. gen. Primaries with straight costa, rectangular apex, and obtusely angulated outer margin; palpi broad, obliquely ascending, compressed, terminal joint short; antennae of male subserrate, fasciculated : all the femora and tibiae and the tarsi of the hind legs very broadly fringed and clothed with coarse hair-scales. PACHYDASYS CONSENTANEA. (Plate VI. fig. 5.) 2 • Eutelia 1 consentanea, Walker, Journ. Linn. Soc. vii. p. 68. n. 313 (1864). One male example. |
