between cell-dot and hind margin thick and black (in both 

 forms this line — which is sometimes so Aveak tliat Mooie 

 overlooks it and which Hampson, Faun. Iiid. Moths, iii. 

 p. 237, calls ^' waved'' — is angnUited inward on M).

This may possibly prove merely a remarkable aberration, 

 but, in addition to the geographical probabilities of a racial 

 difference, it is to be noticed that in this specimen SC^ of 

 fore wing anastomoses at a point with C, while in all the six 

 N.Indian examples which 1 have examined, as well as in the 

 Bhutan which Hampson describes^ it is well free. 



19. Plutodes moidtoni, sp. n. 



^ . — 41 mm. 



Head and body coloured as in costafus, Butl. ; antennal 

 pectinations the same. 



Fore taing very slightly narrower than in costatus, termen 

 (as in that species) almost evenly rounded ; SC^ just stalked 

 with SC^~^, anastomosing with (J ; ground-colonr the same, 

 but without the rufous suffusions at its edges ; yellow costal 

 area bounded posteriorly by cell-fold as far as end of cell, 

 except for a very small triangular projection as in costatus ; 

 the yellow triangle beyond ceil truncate, not quite (as in 

 costatus) reaching B^ ; distal area all yellow, separated from 

 the costal triangle and the ground-colour by an ill-defined 

 orange suffusion ; no lines ; a pair of subterminal black 

 spots, one on SC^, the other on B^ ; fringe uniform yellow. 



Hind iving slightly less broad than in costatus ; ground- 

 colour nearly as in that species, without noticeable reddish 

 suffusion, but with coarse, slightly irregular, dark strigulse ; 

 a yelloAV distal border, very narrow from tornus to R^, then 

 gradually widening, so as to become, near apex, about twice 

 as broad as that of costatus ; fringe yellow. 



Fore wing beneath pale yellowish, except behind M and 

 ]\P, where it is coloured more as above, this patch bounded 

 by a (proximally ill-detined) curved dark streak from near 

 base of medians to hind margin near tornus ; terminal area 

 more whitish yellow. Hind wing with basal area slightly 

 paler then above, terminal area whitish yellow for about 

 2 mm., the rest of the wing occupied by a very large, daik 

 fuscous blotch.
