84. Ingena lucifera spec. nov. 



Foreicinq : pearl-gre_v, iridescent in certain aspects ; the ground-colour being 

 of whitish scales thickly dusted with grey, the darker shades lavender-grey ; costa 

 deep brown ; inner shade obscure, from costa at one-third, bent on median vein and 

 vertical to one-third of inner margin ; outer shade thick and diffuse, its outer edge 

 obscurely dentate, from five-si.xths of costa to two-thirds of inner margin ; cell-spot 

 dark grey ; a dentate submargiual line close to margin ; the area beyond it dark 

 grey ; fringe like the margin. 



Hindiving : basal shade absent; cell-spot diffuse; basal area to outer line 

 darker tinted ; the space between outer and submargiual lines, as in forewing, paler 

 than the rest. 



Underside smooth pearly grey, with a lilac tinge ; fringe darker. 



Face and palpi dark brown, like costal edge ; vertex, thorax, and abdomen 

 pearl-grey, speckled with dark. Underside of alidomen, pectus, and femora white ; 

 tibiae and tarsi fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 32 mm. 



12 SS, 6 ? ?. 



The S i have a distinct fovea at the base of hindwing as in Leucetaera, but 

 though all the subcostals are stalked together as in that genus, there is no anasto- 

 mosis with 12, 11 only approximating at a point ; I refer it temporarily to Ingena 

 witli which it agrees in style of marking. 



85. Plectoneura subrubida spec. nov. 



Like P. albkhi, Warr., differing from that species in the following points : the 

 costa of forewing is smoky purplish black till just before apex ; the whole hind- 

 margin is jiurplish black, broad at apex, where it is limited by an oblique pale 

 streak, and narrowing to a point at anal angle ; in albida the costa is ochreous yellow, 

 and tlie hiudmarginal shade is slight, reaching to middle of wing only. Under- 

 neath, albida is white, tinged with reddish, with no dark shades ; in suhrubirla the 

 whole underside is deep rosy ; the costa narrowly, and the hinihnargiu broadly, black 

 in the forewing. Further the fringe of forewing is purplish black except just at anal 

 angle ; in albida. it is rufous throughout. 



Expanse of wing,s : 34 mm. 



Along witli tliese came 1 tJ, 6 ¥ ? , of P. albida, showing that the difference 

 between the species is not sexual only. 



Subfamily BRACCINAE. 

 80. Arycanda alternata spec, nov.' 



Forewing.i : dull slate-colour, crossed by tine sinuous lines and series of spots, 

 alternately dark slate-colour and blackish ; two curved basal lines, the inner dark 

 slate, the outer marked by black spots on veins ; the middle line, curved outwards 

 above round the small black cell-spot or sometimes touching it, slate-colour ; 

 the line f(jllowing consists of small black spots ; the next two of somewhat more 

 elongated spots, slate-colour and black ; the submargiual of wedge-shaped spots 

 elougatiul and almost touching the black marginal dots. 



JJindwing : similar ; without the two basal lines.
