fringe white, remainder of fringe greyish brown, spotted 
with testaceous; thorax ash-grey, barred with black ;

tuft grey ; wings below sordid creamy whitish, an angu-

external blackish border ; fringe spotted with blackish ; 
primaries with a broad oblique subbasal belt, the area

Tokei (Fenton). 
One of the most beautiful of the Eastern Catocale ; 
it seems to be most nearly allied to C. xarippe of 
Hakodaté. 
84. Catocala connexa, Nn. 8. 
Primaries almost exactly as in C. esther (Ill. Typ. Lep. 
Het. pt. ii., pl. xxxiii., fig. 9 (1878), but of an almost 
uniform ash-grey tint ; secondaries nearly as in C. para- 
nympha of Europe, excepting that the loop-like band from 
the base is carried down to the external belt, so that it 
leaves only a spot of the ground colour close to the margin 
on the interno-median area, where (in C. paranympha) 
the external belt is interrupted; the outer half of the 
loop-like band is also broader, and the centre of it of 
a duller yellow colour than in the European species ; 
expanse of wings, 2 inches 2 lines. 
Tokei (Fenton). 
This species should stand between C. paranympha and 
C. esther. 
85. Catocala nubila, n. s. 
Nearest to C. dotata of India ; primaries above granite- 
grey, slightly tinted with brown behind the black mark- 
ings, which are as follows: a black spot with pale centre
