88 HERMINIID.i:. 



of the fringe : secondaries greyish brown, darker and tinted with lilacine below the subcostal 

 vein ; crossed by three blackisli stripes, the outermost being darkest, angular, and edged with 

 whitish ; marginal spots and fringe as in primaries : body dark purplish brown ; abdomen 

 paler. Wings below brown, irrorated with white, stripes wider than above, rufous brown ; 

 discoidal spots black : body brown. Expanse of wings 33-35 millira. 

 Dharmsala ; at sugar during the rains. 



Pseudaglossa atrata. (Plate CXXXIV. fig. 6.) 



Primaries bronze-brown, slightly tinted with lilac ; a black subbasal costal dash followed 

 bv an irregularly sinuated black line across the basal fourth ; a sinuous blackish central 

 band enclosing a yellow-centred black reniform spot ; an angular black marking beyond the 

 cell and an irregularly zigzag black submarginal line commencing in a quadrate subapical 

 spot ; three yellow costal dots towards apex ; a marginal series of black dots : secondaries 

 silvery grey : thorax brown ; abdomen grey, with a brown and black dorsal tuft on basal 

 segment. Under surface grey; costal margin of primaries dark, with four pale dots towards 

 apex ; fringes with a pale white basal line. Expanse of wings 18 millim. 



Dharmsala. 



Onlv two sliglitly worn examples of this little species were obtained. The genus 

 Pseudaglossa seems to be nmch more nearly allied to Epizeuxis than to Aglossa. 



HERMINIA, Lnfr. 



Herminia palumbina. (Plate CXXXIV. fig. 9.) 



Near to H. dvph-xa of Moore (Lep. Atk. pi. vi. fig. 18) ; larger : tlic primaries slightly 

 yellower in tint ; the reniform spot narrower and filled in with black ; the black central 

 costal dash longer, more oblique, running parallel to but beyond the reniform spot, forming 

 the commencement of a regularly-arched, denticulated, discal line, whereas that of H. duplexa 

 starts independently from costa and is irregular ; the submarginal black and white stripe 

 abruptly and widely incised below apex, a diffused blackish shade, tending to unite it to the 

 dentated line, below the incision : secondaries apparently very similar : antcnnic less strongly 

 ciliated in the male. Expanse of wings 28 millim. 



Dharmsala ; at sugar in July. 



Four examples were obtained by Mr. Hocking, all of tlieni differing from Air. Moore's 

 figure of //. diiphwa in the above characters.
