1890.] NEW MOTHS FROM INDIA. 393 



$ . Like the male but larger, with two larger spots between the 

 bands. 



Between the red bars on fore wing are three black spots in a 

 triangle, and a fourth outside the bar near the costa close to the 

 fold which is little marked above ; below there is a single lobe as in 

 B. sikhimensis. Beneath buff, with the costa of hind wing and hind 

 margin of fore wing white. Head and body white. Thorax buff 

 with white stripes. Legs white with black bands. 



Of this distinct species I took a male at light near Darjeeling on 

 July 20, 1886, and have seen a female in Atkinson's collection from 

 the Khasia Hills, taken October 1867. I have also a pair from Mao 

 on the Manipur side of the Naga Hills, taken by W. Doherty in 

 August 1889. There is a female without name, from Assam, in the 

 0.\ford Museum. 



b. 2 with 3 spots between 2nd and 3rd bands. 

 b'. AH white, with no marginal band. 



13. BizoNE siGNA. (Plate XXXIL fig. 7, 2,1 var.) 

 B. signa. Walk. Cat. Het. ii. p. 550, S (185i). Silhet. 



IB. fasciculata, Walk. 1. c. vii. p. 1684, S (185.5). Himalaya, 

 Kulu to Sikkim. 



B. adita, Moore, Cat. E. L C. ii. p. 306, t. 7 a. fig. 11, 2 (1859). 



I cannot be certain whether B. signa and B. fasciculata are the 

 same, as the type of the latter is in the Oxford Museum, and the 

 type of J5. signa in the British Museum. In this and in one of my 

 Sikkim specimens the two outer spots coalesce and form a short 

 black bar, but it does not seem to be otherwise different. The 

 female which I have figured as B. signa, var. (fig. 7), has no 

 corresponding male. I have four specimens of it from Sikkim, which 

 differ from the female oi B. fasciculata, Wk., which is common in 

 Sikkim, by the larger size of the spots, the shape of the outer bar, 

 and the red baud on the hinder part of the thorax. I also notice 

 that the basal band in fasciculata is reduced to a line on the costa 

 which runs along it from the 2nd band, whereas in what I figure as 

 signa there is no pink edge to the costa, and the basal band 

 extends nearly to the hind margin. It B. signa and B. fasciculata 

 ( = B. adita) prove distinct, which I doubt, this might be the female 

 of B. signa. If not it may be a new species, which I would call 

 jB. walkeri. 



14. BiZONE ADELINA. 



Bizone adelina, Stgr. Rom. Mem. iii. p. 191, t. x. fig. 14, 9 

 (1887). 



This is most nearly allied to B. fasciculata, Wk., and has the 

 same spots, but differs in the pink bands being more angular and 

 in the pink colour of the hind wings. It seems to be a good species. 

 It was found near Vladivostock in July and August by Christoph.
