126 Mr. Butler's descriptions of 



colour a pale lilacine-brown appearance; basal third pale green, 

 bounded externally by a dentate-sinuate inwardly black-edged 

 white stripe; crossed from base of costa almost to sub-median 

 vein by a curved white baud, intersected by a red-brown line; 

 reniform spot white, externally diffused ; a broad diffused olive- 

 green patch extending almost to the costal margin, beyond the 

 cell, continued as a very irregular stripe to the external angle; 

 two black dentate-sinuate lines, enclosins- five more or less hastate 

 white spots, cross the outer half of the olivaceous patch, the 

 outer black line being continued as an inner boundary to the 

 irregular green stripe which runs to external angle ; a widely 

 sinuated sub-marginal white stripe ; external border a little 

 bro^vner than the rest of the Avine ; a marainal series of sub- 

 confluent black spots, followed at the base of the fringe by 

 a whitish hue ; secondaries smoky-brown, crossed beyond the 

 middle by a paler stripe ; antennae Avhite, with grey-brown 

 pectinations ; thorax pale brownish, greenish in the centre, the 

 collar and tegulce striped with black ; abdomen greyish-brown ; 

 primaries below smoky -brown ; secondaries paler but with a 

 spot at the end of the cell and an arched discal band (broadly 

 bordered with white) of an equally dark tint; all the wings with 

 a dark brown marginal line, followed by a white line at the base 

 of the fringe ; pectus Avhitish ; venter pale brown. Expanse of 

 wings 38 mm.

The pattern of the wings in this species reminds one rather 

 of Notodonta than Diymonia, but the short broadly pectinated 

 antennae, the neuration and the absence of the scaled jjrominence 

 near the base of the inner mai'gins of primaries at once 

 distinouish it.

24. Loj)hopteryx ladislai, Oberthur. 



Allied to L. cnadlina, of Europe, considerably larger, the 

 primaries of a fleshy sienna tint ; the costa grey, spotted through- 

 out with black and white ; the interno-discal area rather redder 

 and darker than the sub-costal and discoidal areas, crossed 

 obliquely from inner margin just above the prominence to third 

 median branch by two parallel undulated lines, the outer one 

 widest, and commencing with a white luuule ; a curved black 

 streak bounding the front of the third median branch, but inter- 

 rupted as it reaches the white bortlei", wliich is of a pure chalk- 

 white colour, with black and blackish marking (not red-brown 

 and grey) ; fringe white, spotted ^vitli black ; secondaries greyer
