with a large rounded testaceous central patch edged with dark grey 

 and flecked with black, whitish, and metallic silver scales ; submarginal 

 and marginal leaden-grey lines, with a series of spots of the same 

 colour between them ; under surface wholly greyish white. Expanse 

 of wings 33 millim. 



Campbellpore, 5th July, 1885. 



Quite unique in the genus. 



Urapterygid^. 



148. Urapteryx yerburii, sp. n. 



Nearest to U. clara ^ of the N.E. Himalayas, but differing in the 

 more widely separated and greyer bands across the primaries, the 

 more numerous grey striations on the wings, the paler fringes, the 

 red-centred grey spot in the prsecaudal angle of the secondaries, and 

 the narrower tail to these wiugs ; the abdomen is white (as it probably 

 is in fresh sjtecimens of U. clara). Expanse of wings 56 millim.

149. RUMIA MIMULINA, Sp. D. 



Nearly allied to R. cratcegaria of Europe, with almost the same 

 pattern and coloration, but usually larger and always with the 

 chocolate-coloured markings, especially the subapical costal spot of 

 primaries, considerably broader; the form of the so-called "reniform " 

 spot also differs somewhat. Ex])anse of wings 40-43 millim. 



Murree, 8th and 12th September, 1885. 



This species so singularly resembles the European insect that 

 until I had examined a considerable number of specimens of the 

 latter, and thus completely satisfied myself that no variety approach- 

 ing the Indian insect ever occurred in It. cratceyaria, I was 

 tempted to regard the two specimens sent home by Major Yerbury 

 as sports of the latter species : on looking over Mr. Moore's collec- 

 tion, I found a third example of the Indian species, above which (but 

 separated by a label) was placed, for purposes of comparison, a 

 specimen of the European species.

Murree, 7th August, 1885. 



This species is new to the collection ; it corresponds so closely with 

 Kollar' s description that I have very little doubt as to the correctness 

 of my identification.
