line flecked with plumbaginous : secondaries with the basi- 

 internal and discal areas rusty red, edged externally with black 

 flecked with plumbaginous ; the disk also traversed by a darker 

 zigzag line and bounded internally by two black lines, which 

 terminate near the anal angle in a black spot, partly bordered 

 internally with yellow and externally with plumbaginous ;

56. Plutodes subcaudata, sp. n. 



Wings above pale sulphur-yellow, semitransparent, the 

 costal border and fringes rather darker ; primaries with a 

 basi-internal triangular coffee-brown patch bordered with 

 plumbaginous and black ; disk almost wholly occupied by a 

 broad coffee-brown belt, which, however, is abruptly narrowed 

 to about one third of the width below the second median 

 branch ; this belt is traversed by an irregularly zigzag ferru- 

 ginous line and bordered by a black-edged silvery line : 

 secondaries with a basi-abdominal belt edged externally with 

 plumbaginous and black, and a broad irregularly angulated 

 belt, occupying nearly the whole disk, coffee-brown ; the discal 

 belt also bounded on both sides by a black-edged silver line, 

 and traversed by a zigzag ferruginous line ; external margin 

 strongly angulated, with a large black spot extending into the 

 fringe at the angle, so as to give it an almost caudate appear- 

 ance ; the outer half of the same fringe ochraceous : body 

 brown • back of head and collar pale yellow ; antennas cream- 

 coloured. Under surface creamy whitish, with yellow borders 

 to the wings ; discal belts formed nearly as above, but greyish 

 brown with faint cupreous reflections. Expanse of wings 

 1 inch 5 lines. 



Darjiling (Lidderdale). Type B. M. 



Although similar in coloration, this species differs from the 

 other members of the genus in the form of its wings, which 

 somewhat approaches that of Macaria. 



57. Pagrasa rufescens, sp. n. 



Pale pinky brown : wings sericeous, inclining to flesh- 

 colour : primaries with two large widely separated black costal 

 spots ; costal area minutely black-speckled ; external border
