Fore wing with the lines and stigmata (except the claviform) 

 white outlined on each side by brown, the subbasal and 

 postmedial lines accompanied distally, the antemedial proxi- 

 mally by a broad very pale tawny shade ; subbasal outwardly 

 oblique to cell, inwardly oblique to SM^, the hind margin 

 beyond it streaked with white ; antemedial weak at costa, 

 obliquely excurved from the subcostal to hind margin ; clavi- 

 form faintly pale-outlined ; orbicular an oblique white dash 

 connected by a white streak behind M with the reniform. 

 which is irregularly 8-shaped. each half filled in with tawny- 

 brown, with a large white spot before it on costa; postmedial 

 line excurved from costa to M^ (where it nearly touches the 

 reniform). slightlv excurved in fold, obsolescent behind SM^ ; 

 and in fold. Hind icinq whitish-buff, the distal half suffused 

 with pale reddish-fuscous. Underside whitish-buff, with 

 slight fuscous shade on distal third; almost unmarked.

It is possible that this specimen may have been originally 

 tinged with green, but it shows no definite trace of that 

 colour. (~)uite distinct in its markings from all other Trachea 

 species yet known to me. 



In both the foregoing species IV of the fore wing arises 

 behind angle of cell (iceU behind angle in emphanes), and 

 they also differ from atriplicis Linn., Syst. Nat. Ed., x, p. 517. 

 1758, Europe, in the following particulars. Hind wdng 

 with the cell a trifle shorter, with the costal curving away 

 from tlie subcostal rather more abruptly ; R^ arising slightly 

 nearer to R^ and more curved at its origin. Termen of both 

 wings rather more evenly curved (less bent at the middle). 

 Segment 2 of palpus fully diameter of eye (rather less in 

 atriplicis) ; segment 3 more slendev. without scaling in front. 

 Fore tibia and tarsus nearly L^Vi as long again as in atriplicis, 

 the tarsus more slender, not thickened at the joints. 

 Abdominal crests on segments 2 and 3 looser (and longer?), 

 with the scaling less compact. 



In all these points the foregoing species agree much better 

 with aurigera Wlkr., Spec. Lep. Ins.. xv, p. 172, 1858. 

 Sikkim, the type of the genus Berrhoea Wlkr., which may 

 probably want separating from Trachea when a more careful 

 revision of this group is undertaken. In the meantime the 

 above two species may be regarded as members of the
