rather exceptionally long, even for a Garea species, reaching nearly to 

 apex. Near also to C. nitida Hamps. (" Moths Ind.," ii. p. 423 [1894] 

 [SikkimJ), from which it is distinguishable by the rather more erect 

 lines in nitida. 



8. Garea egens sp. nov. (pi. XXII, fig. 9). 

 Belongs to Section IV — A of Hampson. 



$ , 46—48 mm. 



Coloration nearly as in longicomis, but the thorax and fore wing 

 duller, more brownish, the latter less contrasted than in that species 

 and almost entirely lacking the silvery sheen. 



Fore wing with a black cell-spot, two rather diffused straight dark 

 lines crossing the disc, unusually near together and less oblique than 

 in longicomis, a very diffused subterminal shade, interrupted at middle 

 and less angled than in dione and longicomis ; fringe not darker than 

 the wing. 



Hind wing much as in dione. 



Underside yellowish-white, the fore wing more or less tinged with 

 red in the cell and along costa and termen, the hind wing slightly 

 irrorated with red along costa, at apex and on anterior half of termen. 

 In one or two specimens the fore wing has a few white scales at apex 

 and on fringe before tornus.

In addition to the points mentioned above egens differs from 

 longicomis in shape of fore wing, which is distinctly broader and has 

 the termen well rounded in egens ; in longicomis the fore wing is 

 shaped exactly as in dione.

 Belongs to Section IV — A of Hampson.

Abdomen, pectus and legs much as in egens ; head and thorax dull 

 greenish-orange tinged in parts with reddish. 



Fore wing coloured like the thorax, but rather more tinged with red, 

 especially towards termen ; a fine black distal point ; two moderately 

 well-defined, rather oblique straight lines, the first from one-third costa 

 to two-fifths hind margin, the second from two-thirds costa to four-
