250 Colonel Charles Swinhoe on the 



Armana, n. g. 



(J. Body moderately stout. Abdomen lanceolate, short, not 

 extending to the end of hind wings, and slightly tufted at the tip ; 

 palpi vertical, second joint long, densely pilose, tufted at the tip, 

 the tuft nearly covering the third joint, w^hich is lanceolate, about 

 one-fourth the length of the second and depressed, giving the palpi 

 the form of a hooked tip. Antennae as long as the body, crenu- 

 lated ; legs rather long ; femora and tibiae with long hairs on all 

 the legs; middle and hind tibiae with long spurs. Fore wing 

 narrow, costa nearly straight, outer margin moderately oblique 

 and slightly rounded, hinder margin outwardly curved towards 

 the base. 



Separable at once from the genus Remigia by its clean 

 long tarsi, and from that genus and the genus Cauninda 

 by its peculiar-shaped palpi. 



454. Armana nigrcericta, n. sp. (PI. VIII., fig. 1). 



Palpi, face, and eyes deep black. Antennae brown, their crenu- 

 lations white ; top of head, thorax, abdomen, and wings above of 

 a uniform bright pale yellowish fawn-colour. Wings slightly irro- 

 rated with minute black atoms, which are denser on the outer half; 

 two black spots on the cell-veins in the fore wings, one near the 

 centre and the other towards the end of the cell, and one black 

 spot on the cell-vein on the hind wings near the centre of the cell ; 

 a straight duplex brown band frona the apex of the fore wings to 

 the abdominal margin of hind wings, one-third from the anal 

 angle, both wings outside this line shaded darker than the rest of 

 the wings in consequence of the denser irrorations; a small 

 blackish patch at the apex of fore wings on the outer side of the 

 band, and two small black angles on the inner side, and a small 

 black patch at the other end of the band towards the anal angle. 

 Below yellower, irrorations on wings denser throughout, transverse 

 band black, not duplex, fines down on hind wing, and terminates 

 before reaching abdominal margin ; a black spot in centre of each 

 cell, and no black marks at either end of the band ; fore and 

 middle legs with blackish femora and tibiae, and grey tarsi ; hind 

 legs with brown on the tarsi above. Expanse of wings, l-f^ in.
