Show 398 MR. W. WARREN ON NEW GENERA AND [Apr. 18, wings, and a blackish shade from the inner margin of the hind wings running § across the wing. Fringes of both wings, above and below, chestnut. Expanse of wings 60 millim. Hah. Darjiling. It is more than probable that the black spot on the inner margin of the fore wings is variable. [This species, of which I have only the type specimen sent me by Mr. Knyvett and taken in March, is wonderfully like B. pat-naria, Moore, in colour, but very different in the shape of the hind wings.-H. J. E.~\ GONODONTIS, Hiib. Verz. p. 287. Type, G. clelia, Cram. GONODONTIS VINOSA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 21.) 2. Fore wings vinous-grey, tinged with fulvous towards the hind margin, and with many small dark brown transverse striae, especially along the costa ; 1st line dark red-brown, angulated below the costa, then running obliquely to inner margin; 2nd line double, thick, indistinct, parallel to the 1st; subterminal line dark brown-black, starting from the costa at the origin of the 2nd, running out towards the hind margin below the apex, and then obliquely to the inner margin, where it again meets the 2nd line; costal region generally greyer than the rest of the wing, especially before the apex ; subapical region diffusely overrun with fulvous. Hind wings darker, more generally reddish; central line swollen in the middle, with a narrow lunular spot at end of cell, without scedes. Hind margin still deeper red, with no fulvous suffusion. Head and thorax ashy grey; abdomen mixed with red. Underside pale ashy grey, with darker flecks ; the 2nd line of the fore wings and the central one of the hind wings very distinct, red-brown as is the lower half of the inner line on the fore wings; the marginal area of the hind wings and the lower half of that of the fore wings clouded with reddish grey or brown; 2 small black blotches below the apex of the fore wings. Expanse of wings 28 millim. Hab. Sikkim. Smaller than the other species of the genus, but with the characteristic excavation in the costa of the hind wings, and sinuosity in the inner margin of the fore wings. [Sent by Moller's collectors without exact indication of locality. Evidently a rare species.-H. J. E.~\ HYPOSIDRA ALBIPUNCTATA, sp. n. 3 2 • Fore wing dull purplish cinereous, with a slight olive tinge ; 1st and 2nd lines and median shade all slightly curved, darker, and resembling shades, not lines: subterminal area paler grey, edged by the irregularly sinuous subterminal line ; hind wings like fore wings with 2 darker bands ; origin of lines on the costa of fore |
