Show 1893.] SPECIES O F M O T H S F R O M INDIA. 357 minute, dark ; fringe green, with pale yellowish basal line, and or two minute dark dots above the anal angle. Hind wings similar, but the second line runs nearer the margin, as in pictipennis, Butler, forming a short indentation near the middle, and a deeper, more acute one near the anal angle, which is filled up with pale pink ; 2 small black dots at base of fringe above anal angle, and some black scales below the apex. Collar and thorax ochreous like the costa; abdomen discoloured, probably greenish ; underside wholly pale. Expanse of wings 26 millim. Hab. Sikkim. [I have only seen specimens from the interior.-H. J. E.~] ULIOCNEMIS ? SIGNIFERA, sp. n. (Plate XXXI. fig. 15.) 2 . Fore wings pale apple-green, finely dappled with whitish; 1st line at \, sinuous, 2nd line at §, irregularly sinuous ; costa, basal and marginal areas whitish, the latter mixed with green just beyond the 2nd line; along the submedian fold a white bidentate projection runs from the outer white area nearly to touch the basal portion; cell-spot round, blackish; fringes white. Hind wings much more largely green; costa and extreme hind margin white, the former aud the apical i- of the latter suffused with grey; a dark blackish straight dash runs from the costal streak obliquely inwards for \ the breadth of the wing ; fringes of both wings with minute dark clots at base between the veins, and with 2 more distinct just above the anal angle. Face, antennae, head, thorax, and abdomen all apparently white. Underside of fore wings wholly green except the inner margin, which is white tinged irregularly with fuscous; 2nd line white, slender. Hind wings pure shining white, with a fine sinuous green line at § and a dark fuscous cell-spot; inner angle likewise fuscous-tinged. Legs and underside of abdomen white; fore legs (apparently) tinged with fuscous. Expanse of wings 36 millim. Hab. Momeit, Burmah. [Taken by Doherty in June 1890.-H. J. E.~] BEETA ALBIPLAGA, sp. n. (Plate XXXI. fig. 5.) 2 • Wings dull olive-green; first line at \, represented by whitish dots on the veins, connected by a very fine white line ; second line at |, starts from a white costal spot, forms 2 regular bilobed outward sinuses, and one between them inward, and reaches the inner margin not far from the first line; at each nervule the line forms a white spot; subterminal line composed of a series of white spots; a larger white spot on costa at the middle above the white and diffuse cell-spot; fringe green, with white dots along the base. Hind wings like fore wings, but with the base and a broad central band white; space between the white band and base wholly green ; marginal space green, with a repetition of the two outside lines of |
