HTPOCALIDiE.— CATOCALID^. 



grey ; thorax black-specklcd. Under surface pale brown, wings with golden reflections : 

 primaries with greyish discoidal area ; a pale crescent at end of cell ; costa irrorated with 

 white almost to the middle, and thence alternately black and white to apex ; a slender black 

 marginal line ; fringe as above : secondaries with whitish abdominal area ; a spot at end of 

 cell and a lunulated discal line brown ; costal half of wing irrorated with the same colour ; a 

 slender blackish marginal line, followed by a whitish line at base of fringe : body below 

 whitish, irrorated with grey ; anterior and middle legs with blackish upper surface ; tarsi of 

 all the legs above blackish barred with white. Expanse of wings 32 millim. 

 Dbarmsala. 



HYPOCALID^. 



HYPOCALA, Gum. 



Hypocala subsatura, var. limhata. (Plate CXXXI. fig. 13.) 



There can be little doubt that this is a variety of H. subsatura. The primaries are, 

 however, wholly dissimilar, and, excepting that they are greyer, correspond closely in marking 

 with those of H. roslrafa : the secondaries and body agree with typical H. subsatura. Expanse 

 of wings 43 millim. 



Dharmsala. (Three examples.) 



It seems highly probable, from a study of the genus, that the species of Hypocala avc 

 trimorphic, and may be arranged consequently under their varieties thus : —

CATOCALID/E. 



Catocala inconstans. (Plate CXXXIT. figs. 2, 3.) 



Allied to C. jonasii and C. putala ; form and almost the pattern of the former, but in 

 coloration nearer to the latter; from C. jonasii it diflcrs in its much darker primaries, which 

 are ash-grey, with the lighter markings whity brown, sometimes edged with white ; the lines 

 are black instead of blackish brown j the inner line oi' the central belt is irregularly and 

 deeply crinkled instead of being slightly trisinuatc ; the outer line is very acutely bideutate
