across the basal fourth ; external area much narrower than in C. paludata, the submarginal 

 pale brownish stripe almost wholly obliterated ; fringe uniformly white ; markings on the 

 under surface barely indicated. Expanse of wings 21-22 millim. 

 Dharmsala ; at sngar in August and September. 



It is just possible that Felder's figure of his " Acidalia ped'ilata " may be intended to 

 represent this species ; but as there is no description, and both drawing and colouring are 

 perfectly unlike C. insolata when examined in detail, it is impossible to assume that such is 

 the case : in some respects it is more like C. Vujataria. 



RHODOSTROPHIA, Huhn. 



The genns PJiyletis, Guen., proves to be synonymous with Ehodo.itrophin ; when denuded 

 wings of R. vibicaria are compared with those of species of Phyletis, the ueuration is seen to 

 be essentially the same ; the autenual and other characters are also identical. 



Rhodostrophia stigmatica. (Plate CXXXVI. figs. 19, 20.) 



Nearly allied to R. vibicaria ; of the same colours : the innermost rose-red line forming 

 a single angle on the primaries and continued across the secondaries; the discocellular red 

 litura replaced by conspicuous black spots; the second line slightly sinuous instead of 

 straight, narrower than in R. vibicaria ; the submarginal line much more wavy ; the marginal 

 line thicker and darker, the costa of primaries more widelj^ red ; the fringes rose-red to the 

 base, with dark central and terminal stripes. Under surface yellower, less irrorated with 

 red ; the two discal lines formed as above, but much darker ; the base of the fringes 

 ochreous ; discocellular spots as above. Expanse of wings 30 millim. 



Dharmsala. 



The females of R. stigmatica have a faded appearance, all the rose-red markings being 

 replaced by brown ; the species appears to be common, but al)out half of Mr. Hocking's 

 examples were worn and faded, owing perhaps to the species having been long ou the wing 

 when he came across it. 



Rhodostrophia tristrigalis. (Plate CXXXVII. fig. 1.) 



(J . Pale testaceous ; primaries and thorax aljovc sliglitly duller in colouiing ; wings 

 crossed before the end of the discoidal cells by an ()l)lique rose-red line, and beyond the cells 

 by a band of the same colour, sharply defined internally, but diffused externally, a rose-red 

 line halfway between the latter and the outer margin ; fringe rose-red, with the base and 

 outer edge pale testaceous ; discocellular dots black and rose-red ; face red-brown. Under 

 surface suffused witli reddish, especially on the veins; blackish discocellular dots, and two 

 deep red parallel discal stripes, outer margin blackish ; fringes sliining, greyer than above : 

 palpi rosy ; legs streaked with pink. Expanse of wings 27 millim.
