54 ENNOMIDJE.— OXYDTID^. 



among the Pseudo-Deltoids and of Hi/data, Amilapis, and such-like genera of Macariidae. 

 Without a complete study of the whole of the genera in each family, it would he impossible 

 to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion on this point. 



RUMIA, Dup. 

 Eumia sulplrurea. (Plate CXIV. fig. 6.) 

 Rumia snlphurea, Butler, Ann. Sf Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. vi. p. 123. n. 24 (1880). 



Primaries above bright sericeous sulphur-yellow, mottled with grey ; the base of costa, 

 two subbasal bands diverging from one point at the inner margin and (with the costal border) 

 forming an irregular annulus, the centre of inner border and a discal series of irregular 

 ill-defined spots decreasing in size from inner border to costa, an irregular rcniform spot, and 

 a few small ill-defined spots on the costa ferruginous : secondaries paler yellow, with a small 

 dark-brown diseocellular spot ; a series of small grey dots beyond the middle of the disk, 

 indistinctly united by a slender undulated line of the same colour; external area, particularly 

 towards the anal angle, mottled with ferruginous : thorax bright sulphur-yellow; shoulders 

 and palpi ferruginous ; abdomen paler. Under surface bright sulphur-yellow ; markings 

 paler than above. Expanse of wings 44 millim. 



Darjiling (Lidderdale) . 



OXYDIIVM. 



This family differs from the Ennomidas principally in such characters as separate the 



hitter from the Urapterygidae j the wings, instead of being angulated, are rounded, and the 



apex of the primaries is acute and often projecting beyond the outer margin, rendering the 



wings more or less falcate. In these characters the family corresponds closely with the 



(Enochromiukc, with which (as well as with the two other groups above mentioned) it lias 

 been confounded ; but the absence of a radial vein in the secondaries at once distinguishes it 

 From that family. 



LITBADA, Walk. 



Litbada sericaria. (Plate CXIII. fig. 7.) 



Litbada sericaria, Walker, Cat. Lep. Iht. Suppl. v. p. 1571 (1866). 



Porta of Oxydia : wings sericeous, with a slender oblique silvery-white line, edged with 

 brown from apex of primaries to just below the middle of abdominal margin of secondaries j 

 the ground-colour up to this line greyish testaceous and beyond it yellowish brown: 

 primaries with a second undulated partly white-edged brownish line across the basal third : 

 body testaceous, the thorax pale, the abdomen greyish. Wings below transversely and
