catalogue of the PyraUdina of Sikkim. G35 



In the figure in the ' Tydschrift ' the apex of fore 

 wings is too sharp, but otherwise it is tolerably accurate. 

 The fourth basal spot (on inner margin) is, indeed, some- 

 times absent. 



Sikkim interior ; Moller. 



[A single bad specimen only. The type was from 

 Ceylon.— H. J. E.] 



222. Conchylodes csriferalis. 



Conchylodes ceriferalis, Moore, P. Z. S., 1877, p. 618. 

 Aripana ceriferalis, S. & C, No. 4309. 



Sikkim; Moller. 



[Of this also there was only one bad specimen in 

 MoUer's collection. The type was from the Andaman 

 Islands.— H.J. E.] 



223. Conchylodes 1 marginalis, nov. spec. 



A female of 20 mm. expanse. 



This species very much resembles, by its pure white, black, 

 marked wings, the genus Conchylodes, Lederer (sens, strict.) ; the 

 form of the labial palpi and the neuration are also the same, but 

 I do not know the male, which may perhaps be endowed with 

 special characters. Labial palpi white, narrow, recurved, ap- 

 pressed ; third article long, pointed, erect. I cannot distinctly 

 perceive maxillary palpi ; perhaps they are short and filiform. 

 Head rounded, white, as the antennae, the body, and the wings ; 

 apex of abdomen black, also the sharply limited conspicuous hind 

 margin of all wings and the markings ; these consist in two 

 rounded costal spots of fore wings, near to the base and at one- 

 third, a discal spot and a flexuous second line, which is very slender 

 on hind wiugs, almost extinguished on the inner half of fore wings, 

 and gradually incrassating towards the anterior margin on their 

 costal half. First line of fore wings very indistinct and slender ; 

 discal spot of hind wings small, elongate. Fringes pale grey, with 

 a dark basal line. Markings of under side as above, but only 

 sketched. Legs white, the anterior pair with black spots. 



Sikkim; Moller.

 Collection from New Guinea. — H. J. E.l
