Asiatic Lepidopt&ra Heterocera. 223 



from the outer margin ; the disk of secondaries spotted, the 

 markings of the under surface darker, the apical spot oval 

 and not bifid, and the broad belt of the secondaries of equal 

 width throughout and placed further from the outer margin. 



The males of Evarzia have a singular hyaline bladder-like 

 spot near the base of the internal border of the primaries, some- 

 what as in the genus Corymica. 



Fidoniidse. 



53. Plutodes discigera, sp. n. 



Wings above citron-yellow ; primaries with a semicircular 

 basi-internal patch of coffee-red bordered with plumbaginous 

 and continuous with a broad triangular patch which occupies 

 the basi-abdominal two fifths of the secondaries ; all the wings 

 with a large oval discal patch of coffee-red, crossed by a zig- 

 zag darker red line and bordered with plumbaginous ; body 

 red-brown ; back of head, collar, and anal tuft pale yellow. 

 Under surface pale creamy yellow, all the wings with a large 

 chocolate-brown oval patch occupying nearly the whole of the 

 disk; secondaries with pale reddish-brown basi-abdominal 

 area. Expanse of wings 1 inch 3 lines. 



India. Type B. M. 



This species was placed by Walker with P. cyclaria. 



54. Plutodes Jlavescens, sp. n. 



Nearly allied to the preceding, but the wings of a lemon - 

 yellow colour, the discal patches comparatively smaller, more 

 rounded in form, the line across them considerably more zig- 

 zag, forming in the primaries ten, instead of three, angles; 

 body redder. Expanse of wings 1 inch 4 lines. 



N.E. Himalayas (Lidderdale). Type B. M. 



Owing to the increase of half a line in each of the front 

 wings, the yellow area between the basal area and the oval 

 discal patch is distinctly wider than in P. discigera. 



55. Plutodes exqruisita, sp. n. 



Primaries above sulphur-yellow, with sericeous costal border* 

 outer margin and fringe citron-yellow ; ' an irregularly qua- 

 drate basi-internal rust-red spot with blackish margin ; disk 

 almost wholly occupied by a broad rust-red belt, washed with 

 pinky reddish internally and ochraceous externally, and tra- 

 versed by a darker zigzag line, not reaching the costal margin, 

 but edged at its upper extremity with plumbaginous, bordered 

 internally by two black lines and externally by a single black
