1889.] INDIAN LEPIDOPTERA. 429 



Hah. Nilgiri Hills, 3G00 feet, October 1887, I $ , 2 c? , received 

 from Mr. Hampson and Mr. Lindsay ; North Kanara, one 5 , received 

 from Mr. Wise. 



Nearest to G. xanthonora, but recognizable by the entirely different 

 colour in both sexes ; the oblique discal band crossing both the wings 

 is broader, and in the male almost of the same colour as the base 

 and outer border. This band also, in the female, is ill defined and 

 nearly of the same colour as tlie other parts.

CiDARiA MULTiFARiA, n. sp. (Plate XLIV. fig. 9.) 



Body and fore wings pale olive-brown, tinged with pinkish ; collar 

 and tegulse black, with white borders, some black marks on the 

 thorax, and a dorsal row of blackish short stripes on the abdomen ; 

 fore wings with several deep black bands, some of which are composed 

 of spots, every separate black mark being completely ringed with a 

 pinkish-white line as follows: — two black dots at the base, four, a 

 little larger, alongside, tl e costal one largest ; then follow two more 

 bands of black spots, with a smaller one between, and five spots, the 

 costal one the largest, then a very broad median band, which expands 

 upwards, and divides on the median vein, splitting into two branches 

 up to the costa, having two small black spots on the costa between 

 them ; this band is followed by a subapical band of three separate 

 spots, which are transversely long, the costal one much the largest 

 and deeply excavated on its outer side, also an apical triangular sjjot, 

 and a small dot below it ; the subapical band is continued to the 

 hinder margin, in the form of a brown sinuous line, where it termin- 

 ates with two more black spots ; the spaces between the black bands 

 are shaded with sinuous brown lines ; the median vein is white and 

 prominent, cutting through the bands from the base to near the 

 outer margin of the central band ; the hinder margin of the wing is 

 grey. 



Hind wings grey, with an outwardly curved sinuous darker post- 

 medial line, and a faint submarginal whitish similar line; marginal 

 line on both wiugs brownish, and the fringe greyish yellow, interlined 

 and patched with brown. 



Underside of a uniform pale olive-brown ; a brown dot at end of 

 each cell ; a discal, outwardly curved, dentated, brown line, outwardly 

 bordered with grey, across both wings, a brown mark edged with 

 grey below it, near anal angle ; marginal line and fringe as above. 

 Expanse of wings 1^ inch. 



Hab. Darjeeling. One perfect example of this very handsome 

 species, purchased from Mr. Paul Mowis. 



Allied to C. cervinaria, but differs on the fore wing in the black 

 transverse medial l)and being broader (this band being formed of 

 three distinct portions, the two upper divided from the lower by a 

 distinct pale line extending along that part of the median vein) and 

 in the outer narrow irregular baud being disposed nearer the margin.
