Setina dasara. (Plate CXXII. figs. 7, 8.) 

 J . Setina dasara, Moort, Cat. Lep. E.l. Convp. ii. p. ;103. n. 698. 



Primaries oclireous, crossed by two irregular grey bauds, broad iu the male, but narrow 

 in the female ; a black spot near tlie base and a second at end of cell : secondaries cream- 

 coloured, the male with a diffused grey subapical spot : body ochreous ; anal segment of the 

 male partly clothed with blackish hairs ; thorax with black shoulder-spots. Under surface, 

 excepting the costa of primaries (which is ochreous), cream-coloured; the grey markings 

 more diffused ; tibiae and tarsi of anterior legs grey ; tarsi of middle and posterior legs 

 blackish. Expanse of wings, (J 24 millim., $ 27 millim. 



Kiilu. 



The types of this species consisted of a rather large male and the female of Mr. Moore's 

 Challa quadrimaculata, described by him as Setina calamaria. 



CHALLA, Moore. 



Near to /Se/ ma ; the body rather more robust, the antenuai of the male pectinated instead 

 of finclv ciliated ; the subcost.il branches of the secondaries emitted from a shorter footstalk.

(J . Primaries ochreous, with brighter costal border ; a black spot within the anterior 

 angle of the discoidal cell : secondaries paler, with a grey spot on the upper half of the 

 discocellular veinlet : body ochreous; shank of antenuic white, pectinations dark grey; 

 abdomen with an ill-defined lateral scries of black dots ; anterior pair of legs with a black 

 line down tlie front ; second pair black at the knees and at the distal extremity of the tibise 

 and tarsi ; third pair black at the end of the tarsi. Expanse of wings 33 millim. 



2 . Nearly resembling the male, but the primaries with a black spot at the base of the 

 cell and an indistinct dot at the base of the costa. Expanse of wings 27 millim. 



Palampore. 



A small male (28 millim. iu expanse), without the grey spots on the secondaries, was 

 labelled by Mr. Moore as his CJialla Umaculata ; if this is correct the species should perhaps 

 take the latter name, although four sjjots are usually i)rescnt : the female (from Java) was 

 originally described as that sex of Setina dasara, the true sexes of which are figured on 

 Plate CXXII. of this part.
