Expanse of wings, ? , 27> inches. 
Hab. Khasia Hills. 
Hampson, in § Moths of India,’ iii. p. 255, has put both 
these perfectly distinct forms as synonyms to QO. herbidaria, 
Guenée, to which they have hardly a superficial resemblance ; 
pulsaria, of which I have received many males and one 
female from the Khasia Hills, is very common there; of 
lectularia I have two males and two females in my collection, | 
the colour and pattern of each very uniform ; I have seen 
no variation in any specimen yet received ; herbidaria, 
Guenée, diurnaria, Guenée, and pulsaria and lectularia, mihi, 
are all good forms, perfectly distinct from each other; I 
have a fine series of the first three. . 
Dalima gigantea. 
Dalima gigantea, 9, Swinhoe, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xix. p. 166 
(1897), 
&. Smaller and darker than the female ; the hind wing 
suffused almost all over with dull ochreous red; the fore 
wing is not so acute at the apex and the antenne long (quite 
two-thirds the length of the costa of fore wing), serrate, with 
fasciculated cilia for two-thirds of its length ; the markings 
are as in the female. 
Expanse of wings, ¢, 3,85 inches. 
Hab. Jaintia Hills. 
I have both sexes of this rare species; it 1s nearer in 
structure to Dalima apicata, Moore, than to the subgenus 
Panisala, Moore ; the excavation below the apex of the fore 
wing and the length and peculiar stiff wire-like serrations of 
two-thirds of the antenne do not quite bring it into any of 
the sections of the genus Dalimaas worked out in Hampson’s 
‘Moths of India,’ ili. p. 237. I have put it in my collection 
between Panisala and Dalima. 
Dilophodes khasiana. 
Abraxas khasiana, & , Swinhoe, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1892, p. 17. 
Dilophophodes elegans, Hampson (nec Butler), Moths of India, iii. 
p. 305 (1895). 
¢. Fore wing like the male, the black spots somewhat 
larger: hind wing with the spots in the marginal space 
larger ; the middle submarginal spots joined to the marginal 
spot, forming a large blotch of four conjoined spots; a large 
apical spot.
