424 COL. c. swiNHOE ON NEW [Nov. 5, 



the median vein. In C. angularia the dots on the fore wings are 

 very prominent, much larger, are ochreous brown, and do not form 

 strigse. 



Spica, nov. gen. 



Wings long, rather broad ; costa much arched at the base, apex 

 acute, exterior margin round, slightly oblique, hinder margin arched 

 before the middle, cell open, extending three fifths the length, costal 

 vein running parallel with and close to the subcostal vein ; first and 

 second subcostal branches emitted together before end of cell, third 

 from end bifid ; upper radial and third subcostal from the same root, 

 and not joined to the 1st and 2nd subcostals ; lower radials discon- 

 nected, 2nd and 3rd median branches from end of median vein ; 

 1st median branch at one third from end of median vein, submedian 

 vein slightly curved. 



Hind wings about three fourths the length of fore wings, apex 

 not acute, exterior margin roundly oblique, abdominal margin also 

 round, cell open, about half the length of the wing, no costal vein, 

 subcostal curved upwards from end of cell (which is very broad) and 

 ends just below the apex, throwing a branch below at one third from 

 end of cell and a second from end of cell ; radial vein and third and 

 second median branches are emitted together at the end of cell from 

 the median vein, the radial vein curving up suddenly from the root; 

 first median branch and submedian vein as usual, internal vein 

 absent ; body and abdomen stout, latter extending to end of hind 

 wings ; head and thorax in front with long hairs ; palpi stout, fringed 

 with long hairs to the tips, slightly ascending, but do not reach to 

 the vertex ; antennae simple, thicker in the male, slightly ciliated ; 

 legs stout, middle and hind spurs long and stoutish. 



This genus is allied to Colotois, Felder (Reise d. Nov. pi. 123. 

 fig. 28). 



Spica luteola, n. sp. (Plate XLIV. fig. 10.) 



Male and female. Antennae, palpi, head, body, and fore wings 

 dull golden yellow, irrorated with reddish atoms ; fore wings with 

 the veins reddish, and with three equidistant, transverse, outwardly 

 oblique, reddish lines — antemedial, medial, and postmedial ; the first 

 deeply angled outwardly where the first median branch is emitted 

 from the median vein, the second almost straight, the third curved 

 in its upper portion on to the costa; a reddish streak at the apex, 

 faint indications of a subbasal line and a marginal sinuous line. 



Hind wings pale yellow, unmarked. 



Underside of a uniform jiale yellowish colour, shining, with the 

 whole of the inner portion of the fore wings clouded with brown, and 

 crossed by some indistinct brownish bands ; body and legs below 

 darker yellow. 



Expanse of wings ly^^ inch. 



Uab. Sikhim. One male received from Mr. Elwes, and two 

 females purchased from Mr. Paul Mowis. 



In general outline this insect is distinguishable from Colotois 

 kumetaria (Feld. Reise d. Nov. pi. 123. fig. 28) by its longer wings,
