 Abdomen light crimson-reddish. Forewings elongate, costa gently arched, 

 apex obtuse, termen slightly rounded, oblique ; vermilion-red, with fifteen 

 more or less large light brassy-yellow spots, viz., one beneath costa near 

 base, one towards dorsum near base, one in disc beyond these, one flattened 

 triangular on costa at 5, one above dorsum at 5, two placed obliquely in 

 disc beyond these, one towards costa in middle, one triangular on dorsum 

 beyond middle, one triangular on costa at |, one elongate from disc beneath 

 this to tornus, one elongate posteriorly expanded resting on lower part of 

 termen, one elongate resting on costa at |, one elongate beneath this, and 

 one at apex : cilia vermilion-red, on termen pale yellowish on outer half. 

 Hindwings and cilia light dull crimson-red. 



Khasis, in October ; two specimens. 



Anticrates venatrix, n. sp. 



5 . 21 mm. Head deep yellow, lower part of face red. Palpi red, tip 

 pale yellow. Thorax yellow, anterior margin and an irregular postmedian 

 bar crimson-red. Abdomen pale crimson. Forewings elongate, costa 

 gently arched, ajjex obtuse, termen obliquely rounded ; crimson-red, with 

 numerous clear yellow spots, viz., a dot beneath costa near base, two large 

 confluent triangular ones on costa before and beyond middle, two obliquely 

 place'd above and below fold near base, one Z-shaped in disc before middle, 

 one towards dorsum before middle, one triangular on dorsum at ■§, one 

 towards dorsum beyond this, a dot in disc at §, a curved subterminal series 

 of six small marks, and a series of eight small distinct spots round apex 

 and termen : cilia crimson-red, between apex and tornus yellow on outer 

 half. Hindwings and cilia pale crimson. 



Pykara, Nilgiris, at 7,000 feet, in April (Andrewes) ; one specimen. Very 

 like lucifera, but considerably larger, and readily separable by the eight 

 distinct terminal spots of forewings, which in lucifera are reduced by conflu- 

 ence, and also by the confluent costal spots. 



Anticrates lucifera, n. sp. 



(5 5 . 13-14 mm. Head yellow, neck crimson. Palpi crimson, terminal 

 joint pale yellow with a crimson lateral streak except towards apex. 

 Thorax yellow, with an angulated crimson bar behind middle. Abdomen 

 whitish-ochreous sufi'used with pale crimson. Forewings elongate, costa 

 gently arched, apex obtuse, termen obliquely rounded ; 8 and 9 sometimes 

 stalked ; crimson, with numerous yellow spots, viz., a small one on costa 

 near base, two large triangular ones on costa before and beyond middle, 

 two obliquely placed above and below fold near base, three (two upper 

 sometimes connected) in an oblique series between postmedian costal and 

 dorsum before middle, an oblique series of five from 3 of costa to § of dorsum 

 (of which the two uppermost are small, two discal irregular, dorsal large.
