1888.] FROM WESTERN INDIA. 307 



Indian type of G. dahlii. Walker described his insect from the 

 single male still extant, and by reason of the pectinated antennae 

 placed it next after Heliophobus. This is manifestly not its proper 

 place, but if the pectination of the male antennae is held to be suffi- 

 cient reason for the erection of a new genus, that genus must stand 

 in immediate proximity to Graphiphora. 



59. OCHROPLEURA DENTICULATA, Sp. n. (No. 144.) 



Fore wing dull dark brown with a reddish tinge, blackish towards 

 the base of the inner margin ; the costa broadly, but not strikingly, 

 paler from the base to beyond the middle, never with so decided a 

 streak as in 0. triangularis ; a pale sinuous subbasal line, bordered 

 on either side with darker ; a curved and strongly serrated pale line 

 beyond the middle, also dark-bordered ; this latter starts obliquely, 

 and somewhat indistinctly, from the costa, then turns^and runs paral- 

 lel to the hind margin, forming four very prominent teeth (of which 

 the first is curved and blunt, the other three very acute), and attains 

 the inner margin with three short curves ; beyond this line is a dark 

 brown fascia, with an irregular outer edge ; orbicular stigma pale, 

 oblique, its upper end merged in the pale costal streak ; reniform 

 stigma filled up with dark, and with a paler margin ; the space 

 between the stigmata dark brown, as is also the claviform stigma, 

 fringes dark brown with a fine pale basal line, preceded by a series 

 of black curves. Hind wings entirely dark fuscous, with white 

 fringes ; head, face, and thorax reddish hfown ; abdomen fuscous. 

 Underside glossy ochreous grey, with a reddish tinge along the costa 

 of the fore wing ; all the veins strongly marked ; each wing with a 

 central spot and a narrow dark band, the hind wing also broadly 

 darker before the hind margin. 



Expanse of wings 58 millim.
