 colour and obli(iuc longitudinal streak. 



Warreu's genus Lijjomelia was erected for the Indian 

 species su!>usttt, Warr., witli simple areole. Whether some 

 slight character will ultimately be found whereby to separate 

 his American " Lipomclia " (with double areole) from 

 Huinulia, Iluhn., I am not at the moment j)repared to say. 

 In the present species SC of fore wing arises from the cell, 

 anastomoses at a point with SC and then very lengthily with 

 SC^^ from shortly before the departure of SC'' ; SC' of hiud 

 wing is connate or barely stalked with R'.
