Asiatic Lepidoptera Heterocera. 215 



beyond the base ; body sap-green, white at the sides and 

 below. Wings below paler than above and immaculate, prima- 

 ries with cream-coloured costa. Expanse of wings 1 inch 

 8 lines. 



Darjiling (Lidderdale). Type B. M. 



Nearly allied to T. depulsata, from the Celebes, but con- 

 founded by Walker with his Oeometra dissita from Canara. 



39. Thalassodes glaucaria, Walker. 



$ . Pale smoky grey ; wings mottled all over with minute 

 opaline white striatums, the discocellulars slightly darker than 

 the ground-colour ; an angulated darker stripe, bordered exter- 

 nally with snow-white, and slightly undulated at external 

 third : body slightly brownish, vertex of head and antenna} 

 snow-white. Wings below pearly white, without markings ; 

 costa of primaries and body below cream-coloured. Expanse 

 of wings 1 inch 6 lines. 



Dai -jl ling (Lidderdale). Type B. M. 



Nearest to T. bifasciata, but very distinct. Walker de- 

 scribes the male only as a Thalera. 



The three following species would unquestionably have been 

 referred to Comibcena by Walker ; but only the first of them 

 has the long palpi of that genus. Some of the species placed 

 in Comibcena by Walker, and also by others who have fol- 

 lowed him, are referable to Chlorodes, the palpi being short 

 and the anal angle of the secondaries distinctly lobate ; others 

 are nearer to Agathia, and others, again, to Thalera or Thalas- 

 sodes. 



40. Comibcena pictipennis, sp. n. 



Wings above sap-green, indistinctly striated with pearly 

 white : primaries with the basal five eighths of the costa yel- 

 lowish, the remainder snow-white; an oblique white line 

 across the basal fourth ; a small black dot at the end of the 

 cell ; an oblique, internally sinuated, externally diffused, taper- 

 ing, discal, snow-white belt, terminating at the first median 

 branch; a slightly undulated submarginal white line; a 

 slender white marginal line interrupted by black dots between 

 the veins ; fringe tipped with white ; a plum-coloured spot 

 with ferruginous inner margin near the external angle : secon- 

 daries with the costal area pearly white ; a large quadrate 

 subapical patch, the veins at apex, the anal angle, and anal 

 three fifths of abdominal fringe plum-colour ; a small annular 

 marking of the same colour at the end of the cell ; a large 

 dull golden arched band resting on the outer margin, and ex- 

 tending up into the lower radial and interno-median inter-
