446 COL. C. SWINHOE ON THE [Nov. 16, 
104.. PHOTHEDES FRAUSA, N. Sp. 
Yellowish cream-colour. Fore wings diffused with pinkish, costa 
broadly grey; an indistinct silvery sinuous inner line, which in some 
specimens is disconnected and in some is wanting ; a similar out- 
ward line from the outer two thirds of the hinder margin up to the 
apex ; this line in many specimens runs in a brownish-grey shade, and 
there are streaks and marks of this colour on the costa, on the 
hinder margin towards the base, and marginal marks ; fringe also of 
same colour. Hind wings in some examples slightly grey towards 
the outer border, in others pure pale yellowish cream-colour, paler 
than the ground-colour of the fore wings. Underside of the same 
colour but paler, more whitish, shining, and quite unmarked. 
Expanse of wings 74; inch. 
July. 
Quite common for a few days. A somewhat variable-looking 
insect, because the colours and markings are much stronger in some 
than in others, the ground-colour in some females being almost pure 
pinkish. 
105. HiccopA HERBARIA, 0. sp. 
Upperside, body, and wings white. Fore wings sparsely irrorated 
with reddish-brown dots and atoms, some marks of the same colour 
on the costa and outer margin, a sinuous line within a diffused band, 
from the outer two thirds of the hinder margin to the apex ; a square 
blackish large spot in the disk within this band; fringe white, 
marked with black marks. Hind wings with the outer half shaded 
with pale reddish brown ; fringe pure white. Underside whitish, 
shaded with grey, darkest on the costa. Palpi black, last joint very 
minute and pure white ; fore tarsi black with white bands. 
Expanse of wings ;§; inch. 
June and July. 
106. TARACHE Nivosa, n. sp. (Plate XLI. fig. 14.) 
Head and thorax snow-white ; antenne and thorax reddish grey, 
the latter marked with pure white within the segmants, may be 
altogether white in freshly emerged specimens. Fore wings reddish 
slate-colour, in some specimens pale brown-pink, a deep snow-white 
band extending along four fifths of the costa, filling nearly the whole 
basal area with the dark colour of the wings, forming an elbow 
upwards in the centre part of the band; a reddish indistinct line 
crossing the band at the basal third, just before the elbow, a spot at 
the base within the band, also the orbicular and reniform spots all of 
the general colour of the wing, clear and distinct ; the dark part of 
the wing has white marks showing through here and there, and a 
brownish elbow parallel with the stigmata, giving the appearance of 
three spots in a longitudinal row ; marginal marks white; fringe white. 
Hind wings in some specimens white with greyish borders, in others 
of a uniform pale slaty grey ; fringe white. Underside pale grey, 
unmarked.
