Show 362 ME. w. WARREN ON N E W GENERA AND [Apr. 18, IDOJIA FALCIPENNIS, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 11.) 2 . Fore wings stone-colour, almost wholly suffused with cinereous, with a broadish, slightly sinuate subterminal fascia of the pale ground-colour, before and beyond which the grey suffusion is denser; a denticulate darker exterior line, a sinuous darker central shade, and a basal transverse line can just be traced; these are probably more distinct in other specimens ; fringes pale grey, with the basal line black, interrupted by each nervule. Hind wings like fore wings, but with a distinct black cell-spot. Face, antennae, and thorax stone-colour; abdomen the same, but dusted with grey. Underside paler, unsuffused, with the lines all distinct. Hab. Sikkim. This species may be distinguished by the shape of the wings ; the fore wings having the costa strongly curved throughout, the apex bluntly falcate, and the hind margin obliquely straight. Hind wings with hind margin fully rounded, and somewhat broadly elbowed in the middle. The palpi are excessively minute. It is very probable that when more specimens, including the 3, come to be examined, the species may have to form the type of a distinct genus. [Two specimens of this distinct species, taken by 0. Moller on Oct. 12, are in m y collection.-H. J. E.~\ IDCEA BUTYROSA, sp. n. 3 . Fore wings rather bright clay-yellow, with all the markings indistinctly deeper; a basal curved line, a central curved line just beyond a diffuse cell-blotch ; an exterior, more denticulated line and a hardly paler subterminal space; fringes concolorous; a series of very minute dark dots at the base of fringes between the veins, most conspicuous towards the apex. Hind wings the same, with a minute dark cell-spot. Head, thorax, and abdomen all concolorous. Underside dull ochreous, with the lines only faintly visible, except the 3rd. Expanse of wings 26 millim. Hab. Sikkim. [A single specimen was sent by M r . Gammie from Mongpo, about 4000 feet.-H. J. E.~] Subfam. ASTHENIN^E. AMATHIA NIGRONOTATA, sp. n. (Plate XXXI. fig. 18.) 3. Fore wings white, crossed by a series of pale grey fascia?, mixed with ochreous, traversed by finely darker sinuous lines, which towards the inner margin form black dashes on the veins; the fasciae are 6 in number: two, narrow, near the base; a wider one before the middle; a still wider one beyond the middle; a narrow submarginal one, dotted with blackish and with two darker patches below the costa; and, lastly, a narrow marginal fascia; fringe spotted with blackish at the base. Hind wings pure white. |
