430 COL. C. SWINHOE ON NEW [Nov. 5, 
EupirHECIA INFESTATA, 0. Sp. 
Fore wings very long, outer border rounded, slightly oblique, costa 
and hinder margin almost straight; abdomen rather stout, long, ex- 
tending one third beyond the hind wings ; general coloration ciner- 
eous grey, marginal line in both wings brown, fringe varied and 
interlined with whitish ; fore wings with a prominent brown spot at the 
end of the cell, and both wings with an indistinct submarginal 
lunular whitish line, but in most of the specimens this is obsolete ; 
hind wings paler towards the costa, with some brown marks near the 
anal border towards the angle. 
Underside paler, with a brown spot at the end of each cell, and a 
discal submarginal faint line on each wing, and some brown marks 
on the costa of the fore wings near the apex; tibia with brown 
bands. 
Expanse of wings 5%; inch. 
Hab. Mbow, October; Poona and Khandalla, October; Nilgiri 
Hills, 6800 feet, June to September : numerous specimens. 
Somewhat allied to the European £. minuta, but slightly larger 
and with less defined markings. 
ZERENIDS. 
ABRAXAS LUTEOLARIA, li. sp. 
Ochreous yellow, markings black: fore wings, costa with black 
dots and marks, the entire wing irrorated with black atoms ; three sub- 
basal costal marks like the commencement of bands, and two complete 
bands—one antemedial but very near the middle, the other discal ; 
the first bent towards the costa, the other nearly straight and 
inclining outwards ; a black rib within both bands on each vein ; fringe 
interlined with black, giving the wing the appearance of a black 
marginal line. 
Hind wings much paler whitish on the basal half, the irrorations 
more sparse, and with two bands corresponding to the two complete 
bands of the fore wings—the first incomplete, and on one specimen 
hardly visible ; the other band composed of a streak on the hinder 
margin, and a spot on each vein, forming a band corresponding with 
the shape of the outer margin: head and body of the same yellow 
colour as the fore wings; head and thorax with some black dots ; 
abdomen with a dorsal row of black spots and some on the sides. 
Below the wings are of a pale uniform dull yellow, irrorated and 
marked as above ; body ochreous; antennz and legs black. 
Expanse of wings 2 inches. 
Hab. Nilgiri. Hills. One pair, in perfect condition, received from 
Mr. Hampson. 
Nearest to the Darjeeling A. irrorataria (P. Z.S. 1867, p. 652), 
which is a yellowish species with black irrorations on the fore wings. 
A, luteolaria differs in the fore wing being more densely irrorated, 
and in the male having a well-formed medial and postmedial black- 
ish band, and also a maculated band on the hind wing, these bands 
being less defined in the female.
