WARREN ON NEW GENERA AND [Apr. 18, IlOLOLOMA LUCENS, sp. n. 3 2 • Ground-colour pale shining grey, sparsely sprinkled with short transverse brownish strigae ; a red-brown, slightly curved,basal line; a thick, straight, red-brown median line, starting just from the middle of the costa, and reaching the inner margin before the middle, running exactly parallel to the hind margin; 3rd line, starting from costa at f, is strongly curved outwards opposite the cell, and then runs straight obliquely inwards, becoming thicker as it nears the inner margin, where it nearly touches the median line; marginal region smoky grey, with a dark submarginal line, consisting of fine lunules between each vein. Hind wing without basal line, but with the thick red-brown median line, as in the fore wing, and 2 other red-brown lines beyond the middle, which are nearer one another at the apex than on the inner margin ; a distinct dark cell-spot on both wings; fringes reddish brown. Underside bright ochreous, with deeper red-brown striga? aud lines; the costa itself pale grey. Head, thorax, and abdomen above pale grey; underside of abdomen broadly bright reddish ochreous, as in patularia, W l k . The hind wings are slightly excised below the apex. Distinguished from patularia, by the larger size, paler ground-colour, distinct cell-spots, and the presence of 3 dark lines, instead of 2, in the hind wings. Hab. Sikkim. [Taken by Moller's collectors in June, but I do not know the exact locality.--H. J. E.] DALIMA INTRICATA, sp. n. o*. Fore wing pale ochreous, sparsely dusted with very minute black atoms, the extreme base and base of costa slightly yellowish ; 1st line brown, angulated below the costa, then running obliquely to the inner margin, rather nearer the base than usual; central line brown, straight, parallel to hind margin, thickened a little at its costal end; this line stands just before the middle of the wing; beyond it is tbe small blackish cell-dot; exterior line brown, thicker on costa, forming an acute angle towards the apex, then curved inwards to the inner margin at §, where there are 3 black spots on its inner side, and 2 smaller beyond it; a black-brown oblique apical streak nearly touches the angle of the exterior line, is obsolete for a short distance, and then curves away much more indistinct to the inner margin before the anal angle ; an indistinct denticulated subterminal line runs across this ; beneath the oblique apical streak are 2 or 3 small brown lunules before the base of the fringes, which are themselves deep brown; the whole hind margin is slightly discoloured with pale olive. Hind wings coloured like the fore wings, with a straight brown line before the middle, followed by the small cell-dot, then a fine line, consisting of 3 curves convex inwards, and still another indistinct line, which is straight only before the costa; apex produced in a sort of tail; at the base of the fringes above it is one, and below it 2, small |
