79. LUDIA CRENULATA, Sp. n. (PI. II. fig. 27.) 



Description. — g . Head, thorax, and both wings brick-red. 

 Antennae bright fulvous. Abdomen greyish with five orange 

 bands at the intersection of the somites. An elongate black spot 

 on the discocellulars of the fore wing, and two other black spots 

 above it, one in interspace 5, and one subcostally in interspace 6. 

 Hind wing with nine yellow spots on the distal area — two in the 

 middle of interspace 1, one at the base of interspaces 2 and 3 ; 

 two near the apex of the cell, two in interspace 5 and one in 

 interspace 6. Cilia yellow, and highly crenulated. Between 

 vein 6 and the apex of the fore wing this crenulation gives the 

 appearance of a portion of the wing having been cut out. 



Underside of fore wing similar to upperside : hind wing with 

 an antemedial and a postmedial grey crenulate line, between 

 which the area is red-brown thickly irrorated with greyish atoms, 

 which also extend to the margin. The yellow spots of the upper- 

 side are much more distinct on the underside.

This is a very remarkable form, and the nearest I could find to 

 it in the British Museum is the figure of " Henioclia grimmia" 

 Hiibner, of which only Hiibner's figure is known. But that 

 figure shows a quite differently coloured insect.

 thorax ochreous; abdomen, 1st somite dark brown, remaining 

 somites bright ochreous above, fuscous beneath. Wings pale 

 fuscous with a reddish tinge. Fore wing with an antemedial 

 whitish fascia curved basally at costa and inner margin. A small 

 oval orange spot with white centre and ringed outwardly by a fine 

 black line on discocellulars. A postmedial whitish lunulate fascia 

 from inner margin near tornal angle to before apex, where it 

 forks, and becomes two subapical white spots. The medial space 

 between the two fasciae darker.
