Larva with 10 legs, looped; bright green, with a pure white lateral line, and a 

 short streak on Srd and 12th segment ; some reddish blotches above and below the

Genus PINGASA. 

 Hupochroma (part), Gut'uee Phal. i. p. '115 (18.37) ; Walker, Catal. Lep. Het B. il. xxi. p. 427. 



Differs from Hypochroma.* Forewing somewhat more triangular, cell much 

 shorter, being two-fifths the length ; first subcostal close to end, second quadrifid ; 

 second and sixth from end of the cell ; discocellular concave at upper end, bent 

 before the middle, lower end slender, radial from the angle ; middle median near end 

 of cell, lower fully two-fifths : hindwing somewhat broader; abdominal margin much 

 longer ; cell two-fifths the length ; two subcostals from end of cell ; discocellular 

 outwardly-oblique, bent outward near upper end, radial from the angle ; two upper 

 medians from end of cell, lower at one-third ; a raised tuft of short hairs at end of 

 cell and across base of the medians. Abdomen of male with short dorsal hairy tufts ; 

 palpi obliquely ascending, more compactly and densely clothed, third joint slendei', 

 nearly as long as the second ; antennjB with much shorter branches, which extend 

 to one-third the tip ; legs smooth ; hind tibife incrassated and enfolding a lengthened 

 hairy tuft, spurs long and slender.

"White. "Wings indistinctly speckled with minute ochreous scales ; crossed by 

 an ochreous-red slender acutely-sinuous discal line; the outer marginal borders 

 traversed by two indistinct reddish and ochreous-speckled sinuous fasciae ; a slight 

 reddish lunular cell streak : forewing also with a sinuous reddish anteraedial line; 

 marginal line reddish. Underside pure white, with a black submarginal band, which 

 is dilated below the apex of each wing. Branches of antennte, and frontal band, 

 and bands on fore tibite ochreous. 



Expanse l-f to 1| inch. 



Larva with 10 legs ; looped; thickish; oHve-gi'een ; with purj^le-brown oblique 



* GuLMiee figures two species of Hypochroma ( percomiitarla and muscosaria),oi wliich the former may 

 be taken as the type.
