and very mucli resembles the female of Hyperythra lutea, 

 but can be distinguished by the shortness of the cells of the 

 wings. 



Expanse of wings, ,$ lyV? ? 2 inches. 



Khasia Hills {Hamilton). A long series. 



I have put this species, witli its ally C. phoenix^ into the 

 American genus Catopyrrha^ Hiibner, because I can find no 

 generic difference between its structure and that of typical Gato- 

 pyrrha. It cannot stand in the genus Hyperythra ; amongst 

 other differences it lacks the secondary sexual character in the 

 male which distinguishes the genus Hyperythra^ i. e. the long 

 tuft of liairs on the underside of the fore wings near the 

 hinder margin. The species khasiana may be a seasonal form 

 of phcsnix, the markings being very similar, but the coloration 

 is very different, and 1 have received over a hundred speci- 

 mens showing no variation. 



Subfamily Macabiinm. 



Gonodela apataria, sp. n, 



(J. Pinkish grey, striated with brown and smeared with 

 purplish, the ground-colour shining on costa of hind wings 

 and more or less on the basal and central portions of both 

 wings ; transverse lines brown, subbasal sinuous and indistinct, 

 another medial sinuous, more distinct ; one discal, dark, 

 duplex, nearly straight, from abdominal margin of hind wings 

 one fourth from the angle to the costa of fore wings one third 

 from the apex ; before reaching the costa it is deeply angled 

 outwards and streaked at the angle with chestnut-red ; the 

 whole space from this band to the outer margin is purplish, 

 with a subapical dark patch on the costa of fore wings and a 

 wliite dot ; a blackish suffusion outside the band, which follows 

 the angle and crosses to tlie outer margin below the apex; on 

 the hind wings there are also some black suffusions in the 

 purplish space and a black spot ; a small whitish spot at base 

 of first median interspace ; marginal line black and lunular ; 

 cilia purplish grey, whitish at its base. Underside bright 

 ochreous, striated on fore wings with brown, with a large 

 blackish patch on the lower half of the outer space, narrowing 

 upwards to the white subapical dot, which is prominent, as is 

 also the square white spot in the centre of the wing ; a black 

 mark at the end of all the cells. Hind wings with a trans- 

 verse blackish straight band from outer angle to apex, beyond 

 which are brown striations ; cilia as above.
