( 447 ) 



edged externally with lustrous; ruuning at first obliquely outwards from the costa, 

 forming a lilunt angle below the costa, theu curving inwards, and again bent outwards 

 before reaching the inner margin ; a faintly visible waved lustrous submarginal line ; 

 botli this and the exterior line start from small white streaks on the costa; a dark 

 purple spot at the anal angle; fringe dark purple. Jliiidwings, like forewings in 

 colour, with the exterior line reproduced nearly in the centre ; it is preceded by 

 a straight deep purple shade. Head, thorax, and abdomen grey tinged with 

 purplish ; face yellowish. Underside : forewings, dull greyish tawny, with the costa 

 broadly yellower ; the exterior line reproduced and bounded externally with whitish, 

 preceded by a tawny brown shade, the inner edge of which is slightly angulated 

 below the costa; marginal space dull brown, with some silvery white scales from the 

 apex, which form a blotch below the angle of the line. Hindwings deep yellow, with 

 a few transverse striae deep red brown ; and two fine curved, slightly irregular red 

 brown lines towards and parallel to the hindmargin. 



Expanse of wings : 38 mm. 



One ? from the Khasia Hills, 



This species ditfers from others of the genus in having no excisions in the hind- 

 margins of the wings except a very slight concavity before the anal angle of the 

 forewings. The inner margin of the forewings and the costa of the hindwings are 

 quite straight. 



Callerinnys nom. nov. 

 I propose to substitute this name for Erinnys \\a.n-., Pr. Z. S., 1893, p. 415, 

 which I find has been already used in Coleoptera. 



Callerinnys deminuta sp. nov. 



Forewings yellowish ochreous, thickly dusted with ferruginous ; darker, some- 

 what cinereous, along the subcostal region ; first line brown, cm'ved, indistinct ; 

 second line faintly sinuous, thick and di.stinct, near the hindmargin, followed, opposite 

 the cell, by a small dark blotch, which is followed by two smaller marginal lilotches. 

 Hindwings the same, with a broad central straight brown line, beyond which the 

 marginal space is rather darker ; a small dark cell spot in both wings. Head, face, 

 thorax, and abdomen, sandy ochreous. Underside paler, with the second line darker 

 and thicker. 



Expanse of wings : 26 mm. 



Two c? c? from Padang. Both examples are more or less worn, and the fringes 

 are gone ; but they are certainly distinct from any of the Indian species. 



Hypochrosis Guen. 

 Under Hypochrosis, which, with Achroaia, Guenee makes into the separate 

 family Ilypoclirosidue, he includes sternaria, hyadaria, festivaria Fab., lycoraria, 

 and jaeminaria. Of these hyadaria belongs to Walker's genus Omisa, of which 

 the type is pachiaria Wlk. ; fedivaria Fab., = aaturarla ^^■lk., is the type of 

 Walker's genus Celenna ; sternaria is equivalent to pryrrhophaeata Wlk., the type 

 of his genus Patruissa-; so that Ilypochrosia will remain for lycoraria Guen., from 

 Borneo, and the as yet unidentified ^as(/6i)wtri(t from India.
