AMPHIPYRIDiE. 



DINUMMA, Walk* 



Dinutnma varians. (Plate CXXXI. figs. 9, 10.) 



Allied to " Ortheaga " combusta and Dinuinma placens : primaries varying from dark 

 bronze-brown shot with purple, to flcsh-eolonr shot with rosy lilac ; the central belt of about 

 the width and general character of D. placens, but with its external prominence at about the 

 middle of the wing instead of towards costa ; in dark specimens this belt is scarcely distin- 

 guishable excepting with a lens, when its two marginal black lines become clear; the discal 

 lines obsolete as in D. combusta, but the submarginal spots as in V. bipunctata : thorax varying 

 from pale to very dark brown. In other respects the species corresponds with D. combusta. 

 Expanse of wings 20-28 millim. 



Dharmsala ; taken at sugar. 



It is possible that the pale form may be characteristic of the female. 



ELIOCHROEA, Walk. 

 Eliochroea opulenta. (Plate CXXXI. figs. 5, G.) 



cJ ? . Nearly allied to E. pulcherrima (P. Z. S. 18G7, pi. vi.), the wings comparatively 

 broader ; the reniform spot always larger, and never so white ; the central belt with more 

 decidedly angidated outer edge ; a well-defined irregular black-edged macular green submar- 

 ginal stripe : black external belt of secondaries broader. Expanse of wings 52-5G millim. 



Var. The basi-internal area, the central belt beyond the reniform spot, and a broad 

 patch forming a continuous belt with the latter to tlie inner margin pale greenish ; orbicular 

 spot white, sharply defined, Expanse of wings 50 millim. 



Dharmsala ; at sugar in August.
