primaries reduced to points, many of them being absent, 

 and the scarlet spots of interno-median and external areas 

 united into bands; marginal black border of secondaries 

 narrower, the terminal quadrate projection very small ; 

 head and thorax streaked with yellow, but without black 

 spots. 



I believe Mr. Moore has this species also from Cash- 

 mere. It seems to come near to D. lepida of Rambur, 

 from Madagascar.

We have an insect (perhaps a variety of this species) 

 in which the white patch of primaries is much smaller 

 and tinted with pink, and the border of secondaries is 

 much more regular. Unfortunately this specimen is 

 without a locality, so that I cannot venture to decide 

 whether or not it is a distinct species. 



Moore's D. scmara comes near to D. venusta, but has 

 a yellow streak through the primaries. 



Lithosia Laymerisa of Grandidier appears from the 

 description to be a Deiopeia, but D, occultans of Vollen- 

 hoven seems to differ from that genus in the form of the 

 secondaries, and would, perhaps, be best placed Avith D. 

 picta in a distinct genus.
