300 ISIine Exotic Species of the Genus Gracilaria. 



viz., a dorsal spot near the base, a fascia before the middle, two 

 spots obliquely opposite beyond, and an oblique sub-apical streak. 

 The first spot lies on the inner margin, very near the base, it 

 is very small and not dark-margined ; the fascia is broad on the 

 inner margin, but attenuated almost to a point on the costa, it 

 is distinctly dark-margined on both sides ; a little beyond the 

 middle is the small rounded costal spot, and ol)liquely beyond it 

 is the larger dorsal spot, also rounded, both have dark margins ; 

 a little before the apex is a short oblique white streak from the 

 costa running into the hind margin ; at the extreme apex are a 

 few white scales, followed by some blackish ones ; cilia grey. 



Posterior wings rather dark grey, with paler cilia. 



Thorax white. Abdomen grey above, beneath whitish, with 

 grey bands. 



Anterior and middle legs — femora and tibiae black, with some 

 white spots, tarsi white, spotted with black ; posterior legs — 

 femora and tibiae whitish, tarsi white, spotted with black. 



A single specimen is before me. It was captured by Mr. 

 Atkinson, near Calcutta.
