less inclined to be diaphanous, and near the anal angle of the 
secondaries, which are marked with a clear, oval, diaphanous spot. 
Expanse, 30mm. Type unique. River Darde, Dec. 4, 1895. 
I refer this insect with much doubt to the genus in which I have 
provisionally located it. 
GENUS SNURA, Wallengren. 
S. lineata, Walk. 
Spilosoma lineata, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het. B. M., vol. iii. p. 672 (1855). 
There are two specimens in the collection. Gof, March 31, 
1895. 
GENUS CYCNIA, Hiibn. 
C. melanogastra, sp. nov. @. Strictly congeneric with C. mada- 
gascaricnsts, Saalm. The primaries are pale slate-color, with the 
costal and internal margins broadly and the neurations narrowly 
pale ochreous. The secondaries are uniformly pale ochreous. 
The head and thorax are pale slate-color, with the edges of the tegula 
and the posterior margin of the thorax margined with pale yellow. 
The back of the abdomen is black, margined on the side and at 
the anal extremity more broadly with bright orange. The under 
side of the thorax and abdomen is pale whitish gray, with the upper 
edges of the segments margined with darker gray. Expanse, 50 mm. 
Gof, March 31, 1895. 
There are several more or less damaged specimens of this 
species in the collection. 
GENUS CALLIMORPHA, Latreille. 
C. tigris, Butl. (?) 
flypercompa tigris, Butl., Ann. & Mag. N. Hist., (5), vol. xii. p. 106 (1883). 
There are two specimens, which agree more nearly with the de- 
scription given by Dr. Butler than with that of any other species 
known to me. It is worthy of note that the markings in the two 
specimens are not entirely alike, and indeed there is considerable 
variation in the size of the spots in the species of the genus, and 
they show a tendency to coalesce more or less. Sheikh Mohammed, 
Nov. 4, 1894.
