CRASPEDIA.— HTEIA. 140 



lower half of the outer area snfFused with black, bounded inwardly by an irrejrular black line. 

 Hind wing with indistinct subbasal and medial lines ; an irregular black j)ostmedial line, 

 beyond which the area is blotched with black. 

 Nearest to C. chotaria, Swinh. 



Acidalia ferruginea. (Plate CLXIX. fig. 20.) 



Expanse \h inch. 



Male and Female. Ochreous white. Frons black ; palpi brown ; tiiorax and abdomen 

 banded with pale ferruginous. Fore wing with the discal area suffused with ferruginous from 

 the base; a black speck at the end of the cell; antemedial, medial, and postmedial lines 

 angled below the costa, the last with a black speck at the point of the angle ; outer area pale 

 fei-rugiuous, traversed by a pale waved line. Hind wing witJi a black speck at the end of the 

 cell ; antemedial, medial, and postmedial waved ferruginous lines, the last forming a broad 

 band. Both wings with black marginal specks. 



EOIS, Hiihn. 

 Eois, Hiilm. Verz. p. 308. 



Antcnnte annulated and slightly ciliated in both sexes ; palj)i slight and upturned. Hind 

 tibia thickened and with no spurs, but with a tuft of hairs from the base in the male, with a 

 terminal pair of spurs in the female. Fore wing acute; the five subcostals stalked together; 

 the second median from close to the end of the cell. Hind wing with the two subcostals 

 stalked, the second median from near end of cell. 



H. aurauraria being the type of Stephen's genus Hyria, Hiibner's second species ostri- 

 nar'ia, with which the following is conspecific, becomes the type of the genus Eo'is ; the 

 American acute-winged forms are probably rightly placed in the genus by Packard. 



Eois lineata. (Plate CLXIX. fig. 10.) 



Expanse ? % inch. 



Female. Dull purplish ochreous, the wings irrorated with purple scales. Fore wing with 

 a dark speck at end of cell ; a straight antemedial erect line ; a slightly waved submarginal 

 line followed, by some purplish blotches, especially towards outer angle. Hind wing more 

 thickly irrorated with purplish scales ; a dark speck towards end of cell. 



Hyria auricLiicta. (Plate CLXX. fig. 1.) 



Expanse 1 ,'., inch. 



Female. Bright crimson ; a white band between the antennse ; both wings with a mar- 

 ginal orange-yellow band, the crimson running out to the margin between the second and 

 third median nervules of each wing. 



Allied to H. permidans, Hmpsn., from the Nilgiris, but without the ante- and postmedial 

 lines to the fore wing and the cell-spots to each wing.
