the snbmarginal line being also dark grey and attached to the outer line ; in the 

 hindwing the large blotch contains a pale space on inner margin. 



2 36, 3 ? ¥, along with 1 3, 5 ? ? of typical variang. 



The all. melanospila lias the lines darker than in the type, though not so dark 

 as in ah. commaculata, and a square blackish hlotch between veins 3 and 4 between 

 the median and snbmarginal lines of each wing, and another on margin below 

 apex ; while the second and third segments of dorsum are marked with a blacker 

 bb itch. 



Of this form only a single ? was obtained.

171. Plutodes connexa Warr. ah. concinna nov. 



Along with seven examples of V. connexa jnst received from Biagi came 

 2 ? ? and 3 3 3 of another form very closely allied. From a comparison of 

 the two it is plain that the ? which I attributed to connexa belongs really to the 

 present form ab. concinna, in which the brown colouring of the 3 3 is deeper and 

 the grey of the ¥ ? less pink than in connexa, while the ferruginous edging with 

 pale lustrous scales of connexa gives place to a well-defined black-brown edging
