Underside pale straw-colour, mottled with yellow, with the discal spots and lines darker and distinct. Expanse of wings 32 millim. Hab. Sikkim. [Taken by m e in August at about 7000 feet.-H. J. E.~] A N A G O G E RUFA, sp. n. 2 . Fore wings dull reddish testaceous, with three dark fuscous transverse lines, all running parallel to the hind margin; 1st at 3, indistinct, wavy; 2nd a little before §, wavy, diffuse, followed in one example by a broadish, diffuse, fuscous shade; 3rd subterminal, more sinuous, consisting of a series of subcontiguous dark blotches; fringes concolorous, with a series of small, inconspicuous, dark dots at base; a large fuscous cell-spot. Hind wings whitish testaceous, with dark cell-spot and 2 faint dark lines towards the hind margin ; fringes as in fore wings. Head and thorax reddish; abdomen like hind wings. Underside of fore wings like upperside of hind wings, except towards the apex where they are like the upperside; underside of hind wings like upperside of fore wings, with all the markings much clearer than above. Expanse of wings 38 millim. Hab. Sikkim. A N O N Y C H I A , gen. nov. Nadagara, Butler, P.Z. S. 1883, p. 172. Onychia, Moore, Lep. Coll. Atk. p. 279. Cidaria, Warr. P. Z. S. 1888, p. 330. Type, A. grisea, Butler (Nadagara grisea, Butl.). Under the generic term Onychia, Hiibner in the ' Verzeichniss', p. 331, placed together the two species moeniata, Scop., and perv-bolata, Hub., both of which belong to the subfamily Hyclriomenince. Mr. Moore, in his Descr. Lep. Coll. Atk. p. 279, employs Onychia for his two new species, lativitta and violacea, which are, as he states, congeneric with Mr. Butler's so-called Nadagara grisea. All three belong, not to the subfamdy Hydriomenince at all, but to the very different subfamily Selidoseminas, in which there is no true radial to the hind wing, and are closely allied to the genus Anagoge, Hiibn. For this group I propose to slightly alter the name employed first by Hiibner, and misapplied by Moore. It is only fair to add that in the Society's ' Proceedings,' 1888, I myself wrongly referred one of the species of this genus to Cidaria, Tr. ANONYCHIA ROSTRIFERA. (Plate XXXII. fig. 3.)
