COEYMICA.— HYPEPHYRA, 101 



margin ochreons flecked with blaek ; a barely perceptible trisiimated reddish line across the 

 basal fourth ; a black spot at the end of the cell : head and collar dark red-brown ; antcunie 

 and abdomen much paler, the former rosy. Under surface pale rufous brownish, sericeous : 

 the wings mottled with black ; a black spot at the end of each discoidal cell ; the ol)li(|UC 

 stripe darker than above, bordered internally with ochreous and pink; outer margins lilacine 

 pink ; fringes darker than above ; costa of primaries paler tlian above : legs slightly black- 

 speckled. Expanse of wings 37-40 millim. 

 Dharmsala ; at sugar in September. 



CORYMICA, IValk. 

 Corymica vitrigera. (Plate CXXXV. fig. 14.) 



Nearly allied to C.prycri of Japan : of the same colours and general pattern ; it, however, 

 differs constantly in the fact that the dark spots on the inner margin are united at their inner 

 extremities by a longitudinal brown bar, the two inner ones invariably, but all three usually ; 

 the spot, below these markings, on the costa of secondaries is also widened upon the margin, 

 so that it is funnel-shaped instead of forming a short transverse band, and the spot on the 

 abdominal margin is decidedly larger. Expanse of wings 35- 10 millim. 



Dharmsala; obtained by beating. 



All the species of Corymica are very closely allied ; but if Mr. Hocking had not retained 

 eight examples of this species, it would have been impossible to be sure of the constancy of 

 the slight characters which distinguish it from the Japanese form. 



HYPEPHYRA, gen. nov. 



Nearest to the New-World genus Acrosemia, of the same form and with very similar 

 ueuration, palpi, and antennae ; the body is, however, altogether weaker and much shorter ; 

 the tegulffi smaller and without the long fringes of Acrosemia, and the anal tuft is less deve- 

 loped; the coloration is intermediate between Hyperijtlira and Ephyra or Anisodcs, from all 

 of which genera the short and delicate ciliation of the antennae at once distinguishes it.

Hypephyra terrosa. (Plate CXXXV. fig. 17.) 



Whity brown suffused with pink, irrorated with darker brown ; external third of wings 

 darker than the rest of the upper surface, bounded internally by an indistinct brownish-edged 

 slightly irregular transverse paler line : primaries with the costa pale, flecked with blacki.sh : 

 secondaries with a grey discocellular spot. Under surface pale creamy stramineous, sparsely 

 irrorated with grey ; external area of primaries deeper yellow, with a greyish patch towards 

 inner margin ; fringes grey, with bronze reflections. Expanse of wings 40 millim. 



Dharmsala.
