Drepana simillima, n. sp. 



Closely allied to B. lilacina. Male and female of same shape ; 

 pale brownish-ochreous : both wings crossed by a similar antemedial 

 and a postmedial line, but both these lines are of a paler tint than 

 the ground-colour of the wings, and they are also more irregular ; 

 the costal spots are larger, and there is a small spot at lower end of 

 the cell, as well as those on the outer margin of both wings.

Fam. Saturniid^. 



Saturnia hocktngii, n. sp. 



Intermediate between S. lindia and S. grotei. From S. lindia it 

 differs in its much darker greyish-brown colour. On the fore wing 

 the transverse subbasal band is more acutely angulated outward on 

 the median vein, the ocellus is larger and more oval in shape, the 

 transverse zigzag lines are nearer the ocellus, thus giving a broader 

 brown outer border, the submarginal border of which is more waved 

 in the male and straighter in the female. On the hind wing the 

 ocellus is larger and rounder, the transverse discal lines both uni- 

 formly waved and nearer the ocellus, the submargiual line being also 

 waved. 



From S. grotei it is at once distinguished by its difference of 

 colour, >S'. {/rotei being ochraceous, larger ocelli and more acutely 

 zigzag discal lines. 



Expanse, d 3|, $ 4 inches.
