Species of Indo-Malayan Heterocera. 71 



Walker — two cornuti in the latter, three in the former, one 

 short and two gementate, besides other differences shown in 

 the figures, ffl. undaira, mihi, and M. tunicala, mihi, are 

 also distinct species \ besides the enlargement of the costa, 

 the cornuti are absent, the rugose patch on the vesica is much 

 more prominent, and there are many other features which 

 the figures will show (note arm on costa and cornuti). I 

 have undaira from New Guinea and tunicata from New York, 

 N. Queensland, and had specimens from both localities 

 examined (PI. VII. figs. 1, 2, 3, 3 a, & 4). 



Maurilia instabilis. 



Anomis instabilis, Butler, 111. Het. B.M. vii. p. 72, pi. cxxxi. fig. 3 



(1889). 

 Maurilia iconica, Hampson (part.), Plial. xi. p. 373 (1912). 



The prominent black discoidal lunule on the fore wing 

 differentiates it from iconica ; the genitalia is also somewhat 

 different ; note the thickening of patch on costa and the two 

 cornuti instead of three. 



In my collection from Kurseyong and the Khasia Hills.

 somewhat paler. Underside blackish, the costa and hinder 

 margin of the fore wing and the costa and abdominal margin

Maurilia undaira, nov. 



<$ . Palpi, head, body, and fore wing purplish brown ; two
