85. Botys demeter, nov. spec. 



A male of 30 mm. expanse. 



This species is closely allied to plutusalis, Walker, but it is 

 larger, the ground colour of the upper side, though apparently also 

 shining white, is more suffused with ochreous yellow ; the shining 

 greyish white fringes are not divided by two dark lines as in that 

 species, but have only a well-defined black basal line, sharper and 

 not so slender as in lylutusalis ; the hind margin of wings is 

 ochreous, not shining white. Palpi recurved, whitish, marked 

 with two black spots. Thorax white, with ochreous yellow spots. 

 Upper side of wings white, shining, but strongly suffused with 

 ochreous yellow ; lines also ochreous yellow, darker and brighter 

 than in plutusalis ; their number is five on the fore wings, three 

 nearly straight on the basal fourth, a third, broken in two sharp 

 angles on vein 2 and a fifth, parallel to and at some distance of, 



[■'= Botyodes leopardalis, Moore, Descr. Atk., p; 221, t. 7, fig. 20, 

 is a synonym of B. iopasalis, according to Mr. Warren. I have 

 specimens from the Naga Hills which agree with Sikkim examples.
