end of cell; disco-submarginal area crossed by two confused zigzag 
black lines, and widening abruptly near apex: secondaries smoky 
brown, blackish at anal angle, pale at base, whitish on basicostal 
area; a pale brown waved discal streak, becoming white towards 
anal angle; a pale brown submarginal anal litura: head, prothorax, 
and tegule dark brown, remainder of thorax greyish; external 
margins of tegule blackish ; abdomen grey-brown, with a row of 
lateral dark brown spots: wings below grey-brown, a pale dusky- 
edged bar from costa of primaries to anal angle of secondaries ;

Oaxaca, Mexico (Hartweg). Type, B.M. 
Genus Ditup1a, Grofe. 
56. DiLuDIA GRANDIS, 0. sp. 
Intermediate between D. odliqua and D. discistriga ; most like 
the latter, but readily distinguished by the single broad black bar 
from costa to end of cell (enclosing a distinct white point on lower 
discocellular nervure), almost joining a single long distinct black 
streak on second median interspace ; apical patch grey, broader than 
in any other species, widely encircled with black: secondaries rich 
brown, with costa and a subcostal patch at base silky testaceous ; 
anal angle whitish, as in D. obliqua, crossed by four black bars, the 
two central ones well defined, running across the centre of the wing: 
body whitish grey ; thorax with usual black streaks ; abdomen with 
dorsal and lateral interrupted black streaks : wings below altogether 
whiter than D. obliqua, otherwise somewhat similar. Expanse of 
wings 5 inches 8 lines. 
Nepal. Type, coll. F. Moore. 
57. DiLUDIA RUBESCENS, Nn. sp.

distinct oblique black bar from costa to end of cell, discocellular 
lunate whitish spot large and distinct, apical patch broader and 
more irregular than in any of the allied species ; discal lunulated 
lines broadly separated, but less defined, not filled in with whitish : 
secondaries broader, blacker, with two central converging and a third 
discal black streaks: body much redder; lateral streak blacker ; 
three or four lateral large creamy ochreous black-edged spots: 
underside much as usual. Expanse of wings 4 inches 9 lines.
