510 MR. W. WARRKN ON LEPIDOPTERA [Juue 5, 



brown ; palpi paler ; abdomen fuscous. Underside pinkish ocbreous, 

 witb the dark markings of the fore wing slightly visible. 



Expanse of wings 16 niillim. 



One female from Campbellpore, May 21, 1886. 



In tlie Hocking Collection, and likewise in Mr. Moore's, there is a 

 species closely allied to the present one, which Mr. Moore has re- 

 ferred to the genus Xanthoptera. But all the species of that genus, 

 as at present known, have quite a different facies and ground-colour, 

 and are all natives of America only. For the present, therefore, I 

 have thought it better to locate the species in Thalpochares, a genus 

 which, as our knowledge increases, will no doubt demand a further 

 subdivision.

Anthophila marginalis, Wlk. Cat. Lep. Het. B. M. xii. p. 830. 



One female, dated July 27, from Campbellpore. 



A. marginalis has no pink flush on the hind margin and the costa is 

 narrowly pale. A. delicia, Felder, pi. 108. fig. 40, has yellow fringes. 

 A. dulc'is, Moore, P. Z. S. 1881, p. 368, pi. 37. fig. 20, should have 

 the hind margin, according to the description, /^iWe, but the figure 

 does not so represent it.
