312 Col. C. Swinhoe on the Geographical 
darker than the ground-colour ; hind wing uniformly pale 
greyish ochreous without markings. 
I have many examples from Venezuela, Mexico, S. America, 
and Jamaica. 
2. Cosmophila xanthindyma, Boisd. Faun. Ent. Mad. p. 94 
(1833). 
A darker insect, transverse lines more or less similar ; the 
outer portion of the fore wing (nearly the half) nearly always 
suffused with chocolate-brown; hind wing grey, generally 
dark grey on the outer portion. 
Hab. Madagasear, Africa. 
3. Cosmophila edentata, Walker, xi. p. 750 (1857). 
The discal line of the fore wing is nearly straight and at 
its upper end is widely apart from the antemedial line; the 
upper part is bent inwards to the costa; the stigma in the 
cell is pure white and circular and isolated. 
Hab. Queensland, Australia. 
4. Cosmophila lyona, nov. 
& ¢@. Fore wing markings much as in edentata, colour 
paler and yellower; the discal line, however, is not nearly 
straight as in that species, but is angled inwardly at its 
middle ; the genitalia in some respects are similar, but differ 
in the formation of the anellus ; the decorations are small 
and bilobed, the armature of the valve is not quite the same, 
the eighth segment of the abdomen is much the same ; the 
penis differs somewhat, being stronger than that of edentata, 
and both are entirely different from those of the other groups. 
Expanse of wings, ¢ 2, 75 inch. 
Hab. Padang, W. Sumatra. 
5. Cosmophila indica, Guen. Noct. ii. p. 397 (1852). 
Cirredia variolosa, Walker, xi. p. 750 (1857). 
3d ?. Generally a smaller insect than xanthindyma ; the 
colour of the fore wing is brighter yellow, the discal band is 
more uniform, and the hind wing is yellowish white, gene- 
rally quite uniform in colour. Guenée’s type is from 
Aisa eatiags
