Eurois virens, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 18/8, i. p. 194; 

 Butler, 111. Lep. Het. B. M. pt. iii. pi. Ah. fig. 5. 

 One male, caught August 23, 1886, at Thundiani. 

 " Only two specimens were captured." 



65. EUPLEXIA PECTINATA, Sp. U. (No. 131.) 



Two females and two males, from Tliundiani, 21st August, 1886. 



" One of the commonest moths at sugar, in August." 



Resembling greatly, but in reality quite distinct from, E. albovit- 

 taia, Moore. The tuits of the fore wing are dull dark olive, never 

 passing into pinky brown ; the subbasal white band is narrower, not 

 so attenuated towards the costa ; the second white band is much 

 narrower on the inner margin, being largely suffused with olive, and 

 varied towards the costa with small dull olive dots, but never showing 

 the large brownish costal blotch of albovittata. Hind margin dark 

 olive-brown, traversed by a fine undulating white line, before which 

 it is darker. Thorax dark olive, with only a small pinkish-white 

 tuft behind ; abdomen dull fuscous, without a white base ; palpi 

 wholly dark, not white-tipped ; antennae in the female annulated 

 black and white at the base ; in the male decidedly pectinated. 

 Hind wings in the female wholly dark grey, in the male more whitish 

 towards the base; with, two curved whitish lines at the interior 

 angle, the inner one being composed of two subcontiguous white 

 curves. 



Underside dull grey ; the darker central band and base of fore 

 wings showing through ; the hind wing with a distinct central dark 

 spot, and less distinct narrow band. In albovittata the underside 

 of the fore wings shows a distinct large whitish spot. 



Expanse of wings 34 millim. 



66. Trachea aurtplena. (Nos. 161 & 210.) 

 Eurois auriplena, Wlk. Cat. Lep. Het. B. M. xi. p. 557- 



One female from Thundiani, August 20, and another from Hurri- 

 pur, October 13, with the remark, " rare, at sugar." 



67. Hadena chenopodii. (No. .55.) 



Phalcena-Noctua chenopodii, Gmel. S. N, i. 5. p. 2543. 1036.

The only difference between this specimen and ordinary fi^. cJieno- 

 podii is a more noticeable pale oblique blotch beneath the reniform 

 stigma.
