1017. Diacrisia spec. 



1 ? labelled in Guerin's handwriting or a very similar one Arctia indica 

 Gut^T (type), Mafj. ZooL, Neelgheries. (Felder coll.). This insect is certainly not 

 the same as that called indica Gmir. by Sir George Hampson, but appears to be 

 an aberrant specimen of obliqua Walker. Guerin described what is nsually known 

 as i/idica in Delessert's Soxee/iirs de I'liidt', vol. ii. p. 93 (1843). I e.xpect the 

 label got placed on the present specimen during the years Felder was blind, and 

 before he sold the collection to me.

A <? and ? with no locality are probably another subspecies, the 6 having 

 white hindwings and the ? being much darker and more heavily marked. 



I'il9. D. alcumena (Berg). 



This is a good species, not a subspecies of intricata ; it occurs together with 

 that species in several parts of its range.
