does from P. lucia, only owing to the brighter ground colour the 
purple belt in P. stella becomes more prominent. 
Calydia bourgaulti, Bar, is nearly related to C. setosa, Butl., 
but is brighter in colouring, and has cupreous instead of steel- 
blue metallic lines on primaries. C. osseata, Bar, is also near to 
C. metalligera, but is smaller and whitish ; the smaller spots near 
the centre of the internal area of the primaries are apparently 
not shot with purple as in C. metalligera. and all the other 
markings are less pronounced. At the same time I think it 
probable that C. metalligera may be no more than a better- 
preserved and larger sample of Bar’s species.* 
Palindia micra, Bar, P. magdalensis, Bar., P. perlata, Guen. 
(which is Walker’s P. spectabilis), P. mabis, Guen., and P. egista, 
Bar, are all allied to Dyomix, both in pattern, in neuration, and 
their long upeurved acuminate palpi: in my opinion they should 
be referred to the Deltoids.

The identity of M. Guenée’s species with C. modesta of Java 
is not absolutely certain, as it is said to have a pupillated 
orbicular spot and the reniform spot clear. It comes from 
Central India, and, therefore, though clearly much nearer to 
C. modesta than to any other known form, may prove to be 
distinct, though probably not. C. modesta has been confounded 
with the following, owing to the imperfect references given by 
Guenée and later authors to Van der Hoeven’s description, and 
the consequent difficulty of consulting it. 
Cocytodes polygrapha. 
Arcte polygrapha, Kollar, in Hugel’s ‘ Kaschmir,’ p. 478, n. 1 
(1842-4). 
Cocytodes cerula, Walker (not Guenée), Lep. Het. xiii. p. 1123, 
n.d (1857). 
North India.. In Coll. B. M. 
Although Walker’s description agrees with Kollar’s insect, 
the bulk of the specimens placed under the name C. cerula in 
the collection are referable to that species. 
* In the Zeller collection I found both of my species of Calydia identified 
as Bar’s C. bowrgaulti and osseata. Of course it is possible that they may 
vary more than I supposed when I described them ; but a good series would 
be necessary in order to establish this.
