1889. ] INDIAN LEPIDOPTERA. 429 
Hab. Nilgiri Hills, 3600 feet, October 1887, 1 2,2 3, received 
from Mr. Hampson and Mr. Lindsay ; North Kanara, one 2, received 
from Mr. Wise. 
Nearest to G. canthonora, but recognizable by the entirely different 
colour in both sexes ; the oblique discal band crossing both the wings 
is broader, and in the male almost of the same colour as the base 
and outer border. This band also, in the female, is ill defined and 
nearly of the same colour as the other parts. 
LARENTIDA. 
CIDARIA MULTIFARIA, n. sp. (Plate XLIV. fig. 9.) 
Body and fore wings pale olive-brown, tinged with pinkish ; collar 
and tegule black, with white borders, some black marks on the 
thorax, and a dorsal row of blackish short stripes on the abdomen ; 
fore wings with several deep black bands, some of which are composed 
of spots, every separate black mark being completely ringed with a 
pinkish-white line as follows:—two black dots at the base, four, a 
little larger, alongside, the costal one largest ; then follow two more 
bands of black spots, with a smaller one between, and five spots, the 
costal one the largest, then a very broad median band, which expands 
upwards, and divides on the median vein, splitting into two branches 
up to the costa, having two small black spots on the costa between 
them ; this band is followed by a subapical band of three separate 
spots, which are transversely long, the costal one much the largest 
aud deeply excavated on its outer side, also an apical triangular spot, 
and a small dot below it; the subapical band is continued to the 
hinder margin, in the form of a brown sinuous line, where it termin- 
ates with two more black spots; the spaces between the black bands 
are shaded with sinuous brown lines; the median vein is white and 
prominent, cutting through the bands from the base to near the 
outer margin of the central band; the hinder margin of the wing is 
rey. 
Hind wings grey, with an outwardly curved sinuous darker post- 
medial line, and a faint submarginal whitish similar line; marginal 
line on both wings brownish, and the fringe greyish yellow, interlined 
and patched with brown. 
Underside of a uniform pale olive-brown ; a brown dot at end of 
each cell ; a discal, outwardly curved, dentated, brown line, outwardly 
bordered with grey, across both wings, a brown mark edged with 
grey below it, near anal angle ; marginal line and fringe as above. 
Expanse of wings 1,5, inch. 
Hab. Darjeeling. One perfect example of this very handsome 
species, purchased from Mr. Paul Méwis. 
Allied to C. cervinaria, but differs on the fore wing in the black 
transverse medial band being broader (this band being formed of 
three distinct portions, the two upper divided from the lower by a 
distinct pale line extending along that part of the median vein) and 
in the outer narrow irregular band being disposed nearer the margin.
