1888.] FROM WESTERN INDIA. 301 



Family Bryophilid^. 

 37. Bryophila. nigrivittata, sp. n, (No. 68.) 



Fore wing chalk-white, dusted with pinkish grey towards the hind 

 margin ; a broad velvety-black central fascia, narrowed towards the 

 inner margin, the inner edge of which is slightly concave, the outer 

 sinuous, forming in the centre a decided projection ; a small black 

 spot before the anal angle. Hind wing wliitish, with a grey suffusion 

 and with the darker outline of a band like that on the fore wing 

 just perceptible. Head, face, thorax, and abdomen white ; palpi 

 black. Legs white, tarsi black with white joints. Underside 

 whitish, darker in the fore wing. 



Expanse of wings 22-24 millim. 



A pair from Campbellpore, taken in May and June 1886. 



Family Leucaniid^. 



38. Leucania unipuncta. (No. 53.) 



Leuca7iia tinipuneta. Haw, Lep. Brit. p. 174. 

 Leucania extranea, Gn. Noct. i. p. 77. 



Two specimens, one female, one male, from Campbellpore ; the 

 latter taken in May, the former in August 1886. 



39. Leucania loreyi. (No. 59.) 



Leucania loreyi, Dup. iv. p. 81, pi. 105. fig. 7. 



Three specimens of this widely distributed species from Campbell- 

 pore, May and June 1886. 



40. Leucania l-album. (No. 148.) 



Fhalcena-iS octua l-album, Gmel. S. N. i, 5. p. 2540. 154. 



Leucania histrigata, Moore, P. Z. S. 1881, p. 334, pi. 37. fig. 18. 



Leucania penicillata, Moore, P. Z. S. 1881, p. 335. 



One female and two males from Thundiani, August and Sep- 

 tember 1886. "Uncommon; a few specimens only at sugar." 



I cannot find sufficient grounds for considering Mr. Moore's 

 histrigata and jienicillata to be distinct species. On the underside 

 of the hind wings the band is more continuous and distinct.

 Rhisogramma inextricata, Moore, P. Z.S. 1881, p. 342. 



Three females and two males from Thundiani, all taken in August, 

 and a single female from Dumtanar, in October 1886. " Common 

 at sugar in August ; found off and on till October." 



Also from Dalhousie, N.W. Himalayas, Solun in the Punjaub, 

 and the Neilgherries. 



From additional knowledge gained since working through the 

 collection, I find myself compelled to make the following alteration. 

 Relying on Mr. Moore's authority, I made R. inextricata, as well as
