404 COL. C. SWINHOE ON NEW [ Nov. 5, 
of the cell in the male, with a streak below of the same colour, but 
in the female there is only one small spot at the end of the cell and 
another small spot below, in place of the streak, also a broad dull 
slate-coloured marginal band, outwardly deeply excavated, making 
it appear as if composed of three patches, so much so in the female 
as to make the band submarginal and macular. 
Wings below same as above, except that the red of the hind wings 
and white of the fore wings is pale pink, the marginal spots on the 
fore wings being pure white. Antenne slate-colour; head and thorax 
pure white, markings slate-colour, a small spot on the centre of the 
head, two on the collar and on the thorax, one on each division, and 
a band in the centre; abdomen deep bright red, extending far 
beyond the wings, with a complete dorsal row of dark slate-coloured 
spots; body below whitish, legs slate-colour, striped with pink above. 
Expanse of wings 2 inches. 
Hab. North Kanara, June 1887. One pair received from Mr. 
Wise. 
Distinguishable from P. distorta (the habitat of which is the N.W. 
Himalayas) by the markings on the fore wing being pinkish white 
and broader, whereas in P. distorta they are yellowish white, the 
transverse discal band being half its width, the hind wing in the 
latter species being also differently marked. 
ALOA SARA, 0. Sp. 
Allied to A. lactinea, Cramer, and similarly coloured and marked ; 
it is, however, a smaller insect, the crimson band on the costa of the 
fore wing is finer, and the prominent crimson band on the collar is 
altogether absent; the colour of the upper part of the abdomen 
is also orange-red, as in A. moore?, Butler, and not ochreous as in 
A, lactinea, Cram. 
Expanse of wings, ¢ 1745, 2 14% inch. 
- Hab. Karachi, August 1885, July and August 1886. Many 
examples taken. 
A smaller insect than either A. lactinea or A. sanguinolenta, 
neither of which occur at Karachi. 
Aoa INSOLATA, n. sp. (Plate XLIII. fig. 15.) 
Allied to A. lactinea. Head, thorax, and wings pure white, costa 
of fore wings crimson ; a black spot at the end of the cell, another 
below it, near the hinder margin, sometimes one near the hinder 
margin, one third from the base, and sometimes a subapical point, 
and sometimes a fine black subapical streak ; hind wings with a 
black spot at the end of the cell, and otherwise unmarked, a black 
spot on each side of the thorax; antennz black ; abdomen above 
ochreous, with black short bands, little better than dorsal spots. 
Below : wings as above; body white ; femora crimson ; tibize black 
above, ochreous below; tarsi black. 
Expanse of wings 1,%; inch. 
e “oe Thyetmeyo, Sept. 1887. Two males received from Mr.
