Neuration : cell decidedly short, barely one-third as long as wing ; discocellular 

 vertical ; veins straight ; first median of forewings at tliree-fourths, second and third 

 from lower end of cell ; radials normal ; five subcostals on common stem. Hind- 

 wings, medians as in forewings ; first subcostal starting just before upper end of cell. 



Type : Nadagarodes niysolala Wlk. {Nadagura). 



Akin to Calletaera Warr., but the margins of the wings are entire, not 

 crenulate ; the nature of the scaling and character of the markings are also dififerent. 

 In these respects it superficially mimics Alex Wlk.

 Osteoiks Meyr., Pr. Linn. Soc. iV.^'. U'. (ii., vi.), 1891, p. 589 (part), nee Guen. 

 This genus is very closely allied to iNleyrick's Di.scahaa, but the forewings of 

 the ^ have a di-stinct fovea, which is wanting in that genus. 

 Type : Ptirosteodes procurata Wlk. (Tephrina).

Gubaria tricolorata sp. nov. 



Foreivings : brown, tinged with luteous towards the base, more purplish black 

 towards the hindmargin ; a duU white spot near the middle of the base, followed by 

 a black basal line ; just before the middle a broad straight white vertical fascia, not 

 quite reaching the costa, and flanked on either side by a deep black line, that on the 

 outer side being itself followed liy a fine tawny line which reaches only as far as the 

 middle of the wing; a small white spot towards the apex, with sometimes a still 

 smaller one above it, and a larger white blotch at the middle of the hindmargin; 

 fringe dark, with a minute white spot at the extreme apex, and with three white 

 spaces ojiposite the intervals between the tluee median nervules and the fiist median 

 and the submedian fold, separated by a brown dash opposite the two nervules. 



HindimTigs : like forewings, but with a broad tawny orange band beyond the 

 dark line exterior to the central white fascia ; two white spaces in the fringes at the 

 apex, and two only, not three, on the anal side of the central elbow. 



Head and thorax brown-black ; face and palpi tawny orange ; abdomen orange 

 tinged with cinereous. Underside like npjier, but the basal half of both wings bright
