dots, the lower one witli blackish centre at end of cell : secondaries with a conspicuous sub- 

 quatlrate d;u-k purplish slate-coloured patch on the abdominal margin just abave the middle : 

 vertex of head, shank of antennje, and probably the abdomen white. Under surface pearly 

 white, without markings. Expanse of wings 31 millim. 

 Dharmsala. 



The body of this species has already nartly faded to the usual uniform buff tint. 



CHLORORITHRA, gen. no v. 



Nearest to Tfialassodes : of the same form and with similar antennse; the palpi, 

 however, are broadly fringed and the termiual joint is shorter; the hiud legs are slightly 

 longer: in the primaries the upper radial docs not form a branch of the subcostal vein, but 

 is emitted from the anterior angle of the cell, and the second and third median branches are 

 emitted together from the posterior angle of the cell, instead of from a footstalk : in the 

 secondaries the discoidal cell is lengthened and prolonged in front, emitting the subcostal 

 branches and radial vein separately, and the second and third median branches from 

 one point at its posterior angle ; the discocellular veiulet consequently is strongly 

 inaugulated. 



The only figured species of Guenee's genus (and therefore the type) is T. pUaria of 

 Tahiti, specimens of which were acquired in a collection purchased from Mr. Gervase 

 ^lathcw. T. pilaria, which is very imperfectly figured by M. Guence, turns out to be 

 identical with 7\ opa/ina of Darjiliug. 



Chlororithra fea. (Plate CXXXVI. fig. 9.) 



Somewhat similar to Astheiia ondiiiata iu coloration, very pale olive-green with white- 

 bordered testaceous markings ; the wings crossed by four white stripes forming two chain- 

 like bands ; the two central stripes bounding the lines of the central belt which have the 

 irregular character of those in Tanaorhinus dimissus; these lines commencing iu the primaries 

 in quadrate spots on the costa ; a third similar spot between them; a triangular spot in the 

 posterior angle of the cell, and three white spots also within tiie central belt ; costa white, 

 crossed near the base by four little greenish strise ; the outermost stripe on all the wings 

 bounded here and there on both sides by brownish-testaceous spots ; fringes white : antcnuje 

 with grey pectinations. Uiuler surface white : ])rimaries with greyish indications of the 

 markings of the upper surface : secondaries with a blackish subapical spot. Expanse of wings 

 '■](') millim. 



Dhainisala. 



Mr, Hocking reared C fea from larv;e found on oak {Qiierctis albit) ; he says that it is 

 so much like the flower of this tree as to be with dilliculty distinguished from it. 



The neuration of Chlororilhra is very similar to that of Pseudoterpnu ; but the antennae 

 and j)alpi are quite dissimilar.
