166. Seudyra venustAj sp. n. (Plate XXXI. fig. 2.) 



cJ. Primaries whitish, much sprinkled with dark grey scales; 

 reniform and orbicular spots dark grey ; a broad parti-coloured 

 patch along the inner margin, commencing near the base, this patch 

 is deep chestnut-brown followed by a transverse band of grey 

 bordered internally with white, and one of dark brown divided by a 

 white line preceding a band of leaden grey edged with chestnut- 

 brown. A large dark chestnut patch occupies the apical third, this 

 has a round dark grey spot bordered externally with bluish grey 

 nearly in its centre, and is bounded internally by a greyish dark- 

 edged band, which starting from the costa curves gently towards 

 the outer margin, then turning inwards until it reaches the internal 

 patch through which it jiasses to the inner margin in a slightly 

 oblique direction. Fringes grey, chequered with chocolate-brown 

 towards apex. Secondaries yellow, with a well-defined black discal 

 spot and a broad black marginal band indented on its internal edge 

 and interrupted before the anal angle, where the isolated portion 

 forms a large round spot. Fringes pale grey. Thorax grey. 

 Abdomen slightly darker than secondaries, with some dark grey, 

 dorsal marks. Under surface of primaries whitish, broadly dashed 

 with black along the inner margin, the white interrupting at anal 

 angle ; submarginal band black, its internal edge undulating and well 

 defined, the discal spots of upper surface reproduced in black ; 

 secondaries yellow, fuscous along outer margin ; blackish discal and 

 anal spots. Fringes of all the wings pale grey. 



Expanse 42 millim. 



Allied to -S. longipennis, Walk., from N. India, from which species 

 it may be distinguished by its smaller size, whitish ground-colour 

 of primaries, and different ornamentation of secondaries.
