GENUS CASTNIA AND SOME ALLIED GROUPS. 203 



This species agrees with the preceding in its hlack and orange colours ; but it wants the 

 small accessory postcostal cell, and the branch b 2 arises at half the distance between the 

 discoidal cell and the tip of the wing, followed at a short distance by 5 3, whilst b 5 arises 

 from the hind edge of the main stem, slightly in advance of the origin of b 2. (See Plate 

 XXIX. fig. 23.) In other respects the veins agree with O. augias. 



Several other species, evidently congeneric with the above, are figured by Dr. Felder 

 in the 137th plate of his work on the Lepidoptera of the ' Novara ' voyage, under the 

 names of Ag arista Doleschallii, A. Sem,peri, A. Moorel, A. alethe, and A. JBatesii. 



The following insects must also be removed from their proximity to Castnia and 

 referred to the Agaristides. 



Genus Damias, Boisduval, Voy. Astrol. pt. i. p. 259. 



The insects of this genus are black and orange like the Othrice, but are natives of the 

 Eastern Archipelago.

I cannot distinguish this insect specifically from an insect collected in Batchian by 

 Mr. "Wallace, now in the Hopeian Museum at Oxford, described by Mr. Walker under 

 the name of Burgena transclucta. 



Genus Burgena, Walker. 



Burgena transducta, Walker. (See Plate XXIX. fig. 21.) 



The fore wings are narrow; but in the veining of its wings it agrees with Agar ista, 

 the small accessory postcostal cell emitting only one branch at its extremity, the branch 

 b 2 arising at a considerable distance beyond the cell, whilst b 5 arises from the hinder 

 edge of the stem close beyond the accessory cell. 



Genus Hespagarista, Walker. 



Hespagarista interjecta, Walker, List Lep. Het. B. M. i. p. 14. 



Brought by Mr. Angus from Caffraria, and figured by him in his fine work on the 

 Kaffirs, pi. 30. f. 10. Agrees with the Otlirice in general form and antennae ; but the wings 

 are much more maculated, the extremity of the body is tufted, and the veining of the
