Fara. Boarmiidse. 

 4. Dalima gigantea, sp. n. 



? . Greyish oclireous ; a straight, broad, dull ochreous-red 

 band before middle of fore wings ; a black cell-spot ; a thick 

 medial line across both wings, bent outwardly below costa of 

 fore wings, and a broad marginal band of the same dull 

 ochreous-red colour on both wings, with its inner margin on 

 fore wings bent, corresponding to the angle of the middle 

 line ; this band is diffused hindwards, and joins the middle 

 line on fore wings, and includes an ochrcous patch at apex, 

 a small one in tiie middle near the outer margin, and a large 

 one near the hinder angle; in the hind wing it is diffused 

 inwards, covering half the wing, and includes several ochreous 

 patches ; all the ochreous portions of both wings are sparsely 

 covered with black dots. Underside as above, with the bands 

 and dots darker and more prominent ; the hind wing is pro- 

 duced into an angle at vein 6, as in D. truncataria, Moore ; 

 the fore wing has the apex much more acute, and has two 

 large excavations immediately below it. 



Expanse of wings Aj-^ inches.

I have two perfect females; the pattern and shape of wings 

 are quite different to those of any species of Dalima known 

 to me.

5. Herpa eupoma, sp. n. 



tJ . Black, collar white; an orange-red spot on each side 

 of the thorax in front corresponding to the broad orange 

 costal band of the fore wings, which lines down to a line at 

 one fourth before ajiex ; a black band near base from costa 

 to hinder margin, the orange inside the band nearly red, like 

 the spots on the shoulders, principal veins pale; hind wings 

 also black, bordered with bright red-orange, broadly on tlie 

 costa, occupying one third of the wing-space, curving out- 

 wardly in the middle, the orange colour on the outer margin 

 confined only to the cilia. Underside as above, all the veins 

 orange-coloured, and a streak of that colour running down 

 vein 1 c of the hind wings. 



Expanse of wings I^q inch. 



Jaintia Hills. 



Looks like a Sorid'a, but has the venation of Eerpa, the 

 origin of veins 7 and 9 being more separated than usual in 

 the genus.
