1890.] NEW MOTHS FROM INDIA. 391 



I have seen no males from S. India, but if they should be found 

 to agree with the Ceylon species, then the name of puella must be 

 applied to this form, and the Himalayan insect, which I have called 

 puella, would take the name oi peregrina. 



Moore has figured in Cat. E. I. C. p. 351, t. 13, the larva and 

 pupa of a Javan species under the name of puella ; but I have seen 

 none from that island, though there are three females from Sumatra 

 in Dr. Staudinger's collection which may be a form of it. These, 

 however, have the marginal band very faiut, and the 3rd band 

 convex instead of concave.

 2nd and 3rd bands, which are bent inwards and towards each other.

? B. puella, Fixsen {nee Drury), Rom. Mem. iii. p. 332. 

 The type from Shanghai agrees with Japanese specimens. 

 It occurs also in Central China, and has been recorded from Hong 

 Kong, though this may be another species. 



4. BizoNE FAScioL,A, Lecch, MS. 



This species is separated from B. hamata by the 2nd and 3rd bands 

 being straighter, and the lower black spot in the male being placed 

 outside the upper one, not straight below it as in B. hamata. It 

 has been taken at Ichang and Changyang, in Central China by Mr. 

 Pratt. 



5. BizoNE iNCONCLUSA, Walk. Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. vi. 

 p. 120, S (1862). 



This species, which I have seen from Borneo and Sumatra, seems 

 intermediate between B. hamata and the next species ; but I have not 

 seen a sufficient number of both sexes to be able to form an opinion. 

 Walker describes it as distinct from the next by the difference in 

 the discal dots, shorter costal fringe, and narrower bands. The lobe 

 below the costa is single, not double as in conclusa.

 p. 120, c? (1862). 



IN&Y.javanica, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 18/7, p. 337. 



This species occurs in Java, Sumatra, Borneo, and the island of 

 Nias, and is distinguished from the last by the larger costal fold, 

 broader red bands, of which the 2nd is edged inwardly, the 3rd out- 

 wardly, with black. The hind wing of B. conclusa is fawn-colour ; 

 Walker says tinged with pale yellow, perhaps this is faded. That 

 of B. javanica is pink. If this is constant, the species might very 

 well be separated, but I have seen but few specimens of either.
