HELIOZELID^. 



Antispila anna, n. sp. 



S 2- 4-4'5mra. Head shining bronze. Palpi whitish. Antennae 

 dark bronzy - luscuus. Thorax dark shining bronze. Abdomen 

 dark purple-fuscous. Forewings broad-lanceolate; dark pui'ple- 

 fuscous ; two narrow irregular-edged direct silvcry-wliite transverse 

 fasciae slightly before -J and f respectively, second tending to be 

 interrupted in middle : cilia light grey, basal half within a black 

 line bronzy-grey. Hindwings and cilia gi'cy. 



Bengal, Serarapur, bred in December from cocoons attached to 

 leaves of Eagenia jamholana {Mrs. A. Drake) ; cocoons formed of 

 two irregularly oval or subovate greenish or fuscous leaf-segments 

 joined at edges, without projecting filaments; 2 ex. Mr. Fletcher, 

 who communicated the specimens, does not think that the Eugenia 

 is the foodplant (the texture of leaf renders it improbable), and 

 enquired of Mrs. Drake whether there was a Vitis growing near 

 the tree, but she replied that there was none. A North American 

 species, eugeniella Busck, has however been bred from Eugenia, and 

 this certainly suggests that the Eugenia is the real foodplant.
