384 DEVA. By W. Warren. 



rcctistria. 0. rectistria Guen. (69 h). Forewing longer and more richly coloured than that of emarginata; violet 



grey throughout, the lines and shading rich olive brown; the $ differing from the <$ only in being darker; 

 the anal triangle larger and bronzy golden; hindwing of $ very dark fuscous, with pale fringe; of <$ very 

 pale straw colour, with the veins and a faint subterminal cloud grey brown. Occurs in Japan, as well as in 

 India. 



Sect. II. Termen of forewingrounded at vein 4. 



excavala. 0. cxcavata Btlr. (69 h). Forewing purplish red brown with the lines dark olive; four before the 



reniform stigma, angled below costa, then oblique inwards, incurved on each fold; three beyond the reniform, 

 more acutely angled, and less clear below; reniform large, with a black dot at its base on median vein; 

 this vein is black defined by white lines; the oblique outer line double, the outer arm thick, the inner fine, 

 the interspace filled up with paler, as far as vein 3, where they diverge ; veins 6 and 7 finely black; a white 

 spot above vein 7, touching the oblique line; terminal area with a pale cloud from above midde of oblique 

 line towards anal angle; hindwing straw yellow, with a diffuse fuscous brown terminal border; the fringe 

 yellow. Larva spins a cocoon interwoven with strips of fibre and leaves on the stems of trees, resembling 

 the bark in colour. Occurs in China, Japan, and Corea. 



lata. 0. lata Btlr. Resembles excavata, but larger and broader, paler in coloration ; forewing a mixture of 



lilac and bronzy ochreous; the transverse streaking golden yellow; the markings olive brown as in capucina; 

 the oblique outer line reddish ; hindwing dull luteous, with an outer diffuse line and broad subterminal cloud. 

 Japan and Corea. 



striata. 0. striata Pouj. Forewing violaceous grey, with fine white irregular transverse streaking; outer line 



nearly straight, greenish brown, externally pale-edged; subterminal brown on a paler ground; the inner 

 line, and the median shade, and the reniform stigma represented by cloudy patches; fringe deep greenish 

 brown with a pale line at base; hindwing pale brown, still paler in basal area. Moupin, W. China. 



48. Genus: I>eva Walk. 



Tongue present; palpi upturned, the second segment long and roughly scaled, the third erect, short, 

 and smooth; antennae of $ shortly ciliated; thorax and abdomen smooth, slender, without tufts; legs 

 smoothly scaled; forewing with termen slightly bent at middle, the inner margin sinuous, excised from 

 anal angle to middle, where there is a projecting tooth of scales; the whole wing overlaid with metallic scales. 

 Larva with only two pairs of abdominal prolegs. Type D. coelonota Koll. 



coelonota. D. coelonota Koll. (= chalsytoides Guen., conducens Walk., agens Fldr.) (70 a). Forewing dull golden 



bronzy, mixed with brownish fuscous scales ; inner and outer lines double, brown, the inner waved, the outer 

 oblique and angled below costa; stigmata obscure, the reniform large, dull golden, with dark outline; an irre- 

 gularly sinuous dull golden subterminal band with dark edges, broadening at inner margin; hindwing fuscous. 

 Larva purple black, marbled with grey, with pink blotches on segments 8 and 12; head reddish. Occurs in 

 China: widely spread in India and the Malay islands. 



auripicia. D. auripicta Moore (70 a). Differs from coelonota. in being larger; forewing darker, more mixed with 



golden brown and overlaid with bluish grey scales; the reniform bluish grey with darker centre; a dark cloud 

 on termen below apex; the outer line not so oblique, more waved, and curved inwards to costa. Occurs in 

 China as well as in India. 



rasta. D. casta Btlr. (70 a, b). Forewing pale olive brown; the lines dark brown; inner line double, filled in 



with orange, angled on subcostal, then oblique inwards and bent on median and vein 1, followed by an iron 

 grey shade; in the basal area, beyond the ferruginous subbasal line a broad fascia of pale golden, with a 

 lunule below submedian fold; outer line double, rising close to inner line, obliquely curved outwards to 6, 

 indented beyond cell, again bluntly projecting on vein 3, then incurved to inner margin just beyond the lobe; a 

 brown median shade from below a large reniform stigma with pale rounded edges; subterminal line very 

 fine, pale golden edged with brown, acutely dentate, becoming double and divergent towards inner margin,
