1S88.] FROM WESTERN INDIA. 303 



Family Caradrinid^. 



46. Caradrina sabulosa. (No. 8.) 



Garadrina sabulosa, Swiuhoe, P. Z. S. 1864, p. 516, pi. 47. fig. 6. 



Four females and one male from Campbellpore, May, June, and 

 July 1886. 



First taken at Kurrachee, May 1879, and described by Col. 

 Swinhoe. 



47. Caradrina externa. 



Orthosia externa, Wlk, Cat. Lep. Het. B. M. xxxiii. p. 715. 



Fore wings silky, mouse-colour ; a dark subdentate line near the 

 base, and a curved, strongly denticulate discal line, fallowed by a darker 

 band before the paler submarginal line ; stigmata indistinct, generally 

 rather darker than the ground-colour ; a narrow angulated central 

 shade, touching the inside of the reniform stigma ; at the base of the 

 wing, between and on each side of the two stigmata and broadly 

 below them, are paler patches. Hind wings silky fuscous in both 

 sexes. Head, thorax, and abdomen mouse-colour. 



Four specimens, one i'emale and three males, taken at the end of 

 August and beginning of September 1886, at Kala Pani, 



Akin to our C. morpheus, but smaller, and with darker hind 

 wings. 



After the above description was made, from the insects from Kala 

 Pani, two of which are in perfect condition, I discovered that 

 Walker's Orthosia externa, described from an inferior specimen, in 

 the British Museum collection, and wrongly placed among the 

 Orthosidse, was identical. I have, however, left the redescription 

 standing, as it may serve to supplement Walker's necessarily some- 

 what imperfect and misleading account. 



A speciir.en from Col. Swinhoe, locality not given, is mentioned 

 by Mr. Butler, P. Z. S. 1883, p. 161. 



48. Amyna stricta. (No. 66.) 



Poaphila stricta, Wlk. Cat. Lep. Het, B. M. xiv. p. 1476. 



Ilattia cephitsalis, Wlk. ibid. xvi. p. 209. 



Miana inornata, Wlk. ibid, xxxii. p. 677. 



Perigea leucospila, Wlk. ibid, xxxii, p. 683, female. 



Amyna cephitsalis, Butler, P. Z. S. 1881, ji- 617. 



1, Amyna stigmatula, Snellen, Tijd. v. Ent, xv, p. 35, pi. iv. fig. 15. 



? Amyna stellatu, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1878, i. p. 162. 



lAmyna undulifera, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 1875, ii. 

 p. 403. 



Two females and three males from Campbellpore, the last week 

 in July. 



The two specimens of Poaphila stricta, Wlk., from Honduras 

 and Santarem, still in the British Museum collection, are certainly 

 identical with those oi A7nyna {Ilattia, Wlk.) cephusalis'm the same 

 collection, which latter come from such diverse localities as the
