138 On Indian and Australian Moths. 
coloured narrower band, which curves inwards from the costa 
near apex and then extends to the hinder margin at two thirds 
from base; the first band has a whitish line running through 
it, the second is followed by a whitish line and a broad mar- 
ginal orange band with a whitish line dividing it, the whitish 
lines in certain lights have a blue tint: hind wings with a 
large orange-brown patch in the centre of the disc, extending 
to outer margin, containing a metallic blue band near its inner 
side, and three black spots on the margin sprinkled with 
metallic blue scales. Underside white, unmarked. 
Expanse of wings 1,5 inch.

I have received a long series of both these perfectly distinct 
moths from the higher Khasias and from the Jaintia Hills ; 
Sir George Hampson has put them all together (Moths Ind. iv. 
. 427). 
; In his description of the latter (Lep. Atk. p. 208) Moore 
gives the expanse of wings §-2 inch=13-18 mm.; Hampson 
says 24 mm., his description being taken from flavicinctalis ; 
but flavofimbriata does not belong to the same genus, and is 
not a Lepidoplaga; it has no scale-tuft below at end of cell 
nor exaggerated retinaculum as in flavicinctalis. 
The genus Lepidoplaga has been made a section of the genus 
Pionea, which can hardly be its right place; its peculiar 
characteristics are equally present in one of the groups of 
Crocidophora, where, I think, it would be more appropriate. 
Besides Moore’s two type specimens of flavofimbriata in the 
B. M., there is a male example from the Khasia Hills identical 
with mine.
