244 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Lepidoptera 



Under surface like A. discrwxinata^ but with broader plura- 

 coloured bands. Expanse of wings 44 millim. 



Alu. 



There is so much general similarity between the species of 

 this beautiful group that an ordinary description would 

 probably be insufficient to identify it by ; I have therefore 

 preferred to give a comparative description, showing in what 

 points it differs from two well-known species. 



Palyadidse. 



Ueanodoxa, gen. nov. 



Allied to Op}it]icdmop>hora ; with the same arrangement of 

 nervures, but the wings shorter and broader ; the body much 

 more robust, with coarsely pectinated and extremely long' 

 antennas reaching to about the fifth sixth of the costal margin 

 of primaries ; the body scarcely longer than the antennas, with 

 wide short head ; palpi broad and compressed, with well- 

 exposed terminal joint ; legs much stouter than in Ojplitlial- 

 mopliora^ the last pair armed with four strong spurs in pairs. 



7. Uranodoxa longicornis^ sp. n. 



Primaries above with the basal three fourths flesh-tinted, 

 transversely streaked with plum-colour in front, greyish 

 brown behind, the whole surface transversely striated with 

 black and crossed by three dull plum-coloured bands, of 

 which the outermost is very broad towards costa and gradu- 

 ally tapers to inner margin : secondaries with the basal two 

 thirds golden ferruginous, striated with black, and with a 

 black discocellular spot : all the wings with the external 

 border bright orange, with spots at regular intervals formed 

 by pyramidal groups of black strige ; this border is bounded 

 internally by a brilliant scarlet band, followed by an almost 

 confluent series of grey-edged metallic silver spots ; along the 

 outer margin is a bronze or tarnished silvery stripe, followed 

 by grey-tipped plum-coloured fringes; antennae brown, with 

 a slender, white, lateral line : body brown, washed with 

 purplish plum-colour ; abdomen with whitish margins to the 

 segments, ochreous sides, and white tip to the anal tuft. 

 Under surface deep ochreous : primaries crossed from just 

 before the middle by three blackish lines, the central one wide 

 and limiting a broad, grey-brown, external area, which is 

 nevertheless interrupted towards inner margin by two unequal 

 spots of the ground-colour : secondaries with a squamose 

 blackish costal spot and a dot at the end of the cell ; an
