Show 400 MR. W. WARREN ON N E W GENERA AND [Apr. 18, acute angle outwards, then runs sinuously inwards parallel to the hind margin, a pale grey triangular costal space beyond it; 2nd line, dark olive with a slightly paler edging externally, leaves the costa at §, forms a large blunt curve nearly touching the hind margin in the centre, and then runs inward to the inner margin at § ; the costal space beyond it is paler grey; the whole central area between the 2nd line and the 1st line (except a narrow paler space just beyond this last) is dark olivaceous, as is tbe hind margin. Hind wings with basal half pale grey, flecked with short dark-olive striae; central line straight, dark olive, followed by a pale slightly yellowish one ; rest of the wing deep olive ; fringes dark olive. Head, face, and thorax dark olive; abdomen and apex of the patagia paler. Underside: fore wings silvery grey, towards the inner margin yellowish, the dark olive space between the outer line and the central shade (which latter is not discernible above) represents very accurately the head and neck of a bird; the hind margin, a triangular costal blotch before the apex, and a large irregularly rounded blotch above the anal angle, are also olive-brown ; the latter contains a yellow triangle at the anal angle, and the top of the bird's head is yellowish. Hind wings dull canary-yellow, freckled with black; a strong, thickly-scaled, double, brown central line, followed by a very slender curved one. Underside of abdomen and thorax dull yellow. Expanse of wings 34 mUlim. Hab. Sikkim. Nearest to F. plagiata, Wlk. = viridis, Moore. [This also seems a rare species, of which I have only two specimens without exact indication of locality.-H. J. E.~\ GAR^EUS DISCOLOR, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 19.) 3 . Fore wings pale fawn-grey, finely dusted with darker atoms, and tinged in places with dark fulvous; 1st line scarcely darker, angulated below the costa, and preceded by a slightly paler space; a small black dot on the median and submedian veins; central shade diffuse, brownish, angulated below the costa, as in the case of the 1st line; a small blackish cell-spot at the extremity of the angulation ; exterior line starting from an oblique brown costal blotch, followed by a clear white one, angulated like the others, and dusted below the angulation by a row of black dots on the veins; subterminal line very indistinct, starting from a whitish subapical blotch and followed in the centre by a small dark blotch. Hind wings paler, with similar markings, the central shade being reproduced as a thickish black basal line, and the 2nd line appearing denticulate, followed by a darker shade, which renders the subterminal line more conspicuous ; on the abdominal margin the 2nd line is broadly black edged with white. Underside silvery grey with the lines dark; with the base, the disk, and the hind margin of the fore wings and the hind margin only of the hind wings suffused with olive-fuscous. Head, thorax, and abdomen like the ground-colour; face and palpi brownish (? with grease). |
