240 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON NEW [Mar. 16, 
tips of pterygodes, and base of abdomen clothed with red-brown hairs ; 
three basal segments orange-yellow at the sides; subterminal seg- 
ment edged behind with an interrupted white fringe; anal black, 
greyish at the tip; lateral tufts brown, tipped with whitish: wings 
below reddish, ferruginous yellow at base, with brown border to 
outer margin; secondaries with abdominal area broadly yellow ; two 
or three indistinct ferruginous transverse lines: palpi white; pectus 
whitish ; abdomen and base of anal tuft rosy brown; lateral tufts

South India (Ward). Type, coll. F. Moore. 
Genus Macrocxossa, Ochsenheimer. 
4. MACROGLOSSA AFFICTITIA, D. sp. (Plate XXXVI. fig. 7.) 
Nearly allied to M. gyrans and M. belis ; from the former it differs 
above in having the outer borders of secondaries better defined, the 
orange band consequently less diffused and not so red in tint; the 
white fringe to the last segment but one less pure in colour; the 
wings below with all the transverse brown lines strongly marked, as 
in WU. belis, brownish testaceous in colour ; discoidal cell of prima- 
ries clothed with golden yellow hairs ; abdominal area of secondaries 
orange; palpi below white, pectus whity brown, abdomen brownish 
testaceous: from M. éelis it differs above in the duller orange band 
of secondaries, and in having the lateral orange spots on the abdo- 
men united (as in IZ. gyrans), and the last segment but one bor- 
dered with sordid white ; below it differs in the altogether browner 
tint of the wings. Expanse of wings 2 inches. 
Canara. Type, coll. F. Moore. 
We have what I believe to be a small variety of this species in 
the British Museum; it is, however, much darker, and is said to 
come from North India. 
5. MacroGLossa VIALIS, nu. sp. (Plate XXXVI. fig. 5.) 
Nearly allied to WZ. gyrans; but the primaries above with the 
transverse lines much more distinct, and the central area between 
the second and third lines whitish brown, forming a distinct sub- 
central white band: secondaries with the outer margin broadly and 
distinctly bordered with brown ; sides of body reddish, the lateral 
abdominal tufts yellowish ; transverse lines on underside of wings 
more distinct. Expanse of wings 1 inch 7 lines. 
Canara. Type, coll. F. Moore. 
This species seems to stand in the same relation to M. gyrans as 
M. sitiene does to M. belis. 
6. MacroGtossa AvicuLa, Boisd. 
Wings above dark pitchy brown, primaries with a lilacine tint, 
crossed by two transverse central blackish bars; a bifid subapical 
quadrate spot ; secondaries with the costa testaceous : head, thorax, 
and three basal segments olive-green, the latter marked at the sides 
by quadrate orange spots ; the fourth and fifth segments pitchy, in-
