Show 388 MR. W. WARREN ON NEW GENERA AND [Apr. 18, 1 2 from Darjiling the same size as the 3 of simpliciata, Moore, which is smaller than the $ . [The only specimen I have seen was collected by Mr. Knyvett.- H. J. E.] PLUTODES TRIANGULARIS, sp. n. 3 . Very closely allied to P. costatus, Butler, but larger; the yellow costal streak decidedly broader, with a much enlarged triangular central tooth ; patch at the anal angle much broader ; basal line brown at {, and vanishing in the yellow costal streak before the first small yellow tooth. (In costatus this line is at -i- and runs up to the same yellow tooth.) In the hind wing the yellow patch at the inner angle is separated from the brown ground-colour by a nearly straight line, while in costatus the same is manifestly sinuous. Underside of both wings yellow, with a vinous tinge; an irregular purplish blotch towards the apex of both wings ; the fore wings with an oblique purplish bar in the middle. The basal half of the patagia, as well as tbe collar, yellow. Expanse of wings 46 millim. Hab. Sikkim ; Naga Hills. [Seems rare in Sikkim, where I took one myself at 2300 feet in May, but is commoner iii the Naga Hills.-H. J. E.~\ ZAMARADA(?) MARGINATA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 22.) 3. Fore wings ochreous, with many fine transverse brown or greenish stria?; base of fore wing, costa, apex, and hind margin black-brown, with some chalybeous reflections ; the costal streak is traversed by pale irregular striae ; a discal, dark-edged, somewhat sinuous ocellus, darker above, where it touches the costal streak; the dark marginal region is bounded by a very indistinct thickish 2nd line, which, starting from the costa at about f, forms a large outward curve, nearly touching the hind margin, and an obtuse projection at anal angle. Hind wings more thickly striated than fore wings, with a small, dark, discal spot, and the submarginal line running close to and parallel with the hind margin, the space between them being black-brown, with the chalybeous reflections stronger than in fore wings. Head, thorax, and base of abdomen black-brown, rest of abdomen ochreous. Underside pale greenish yellow, with a vitreous appearance; both wings with a broad black-brown marginal band. The discal spots on both wings distinct; the marginal band shows through on the upperside as a brownish smudge along the inner edge of the narrow dark border. Expanse of wings 28 millim. Hab. Naga Hills. [Doherty sent one specimen only, taken at about 3000 feet in Sept.-H. J. E.] |
