•prominent, remainder minute. The whole wing more or less dusted 

 with yellowish scales. Tip of antennae orange-yellow ; club and 

 shaft black above, yellowish beneath ; palpi dark above, greyish 

 white below. 



Expanse, c? 34 mm., $ 36 mm. 



Habitat. India, Burma, Andamans. 



This is the species which usually stands in Indian collections as 

 beturia, Hew. Hewitson, however, included two distinct species 

 under the name beturia, one from Celebes and the other from the 

 Nilgiris ; as the former is the one that agrees with his description, it 

 must be taken as the typical one. 



The true beturia differs from moorei in having only four spots 

 on the upperside in the male, two discal and two subapical, and the 

 fringe is unicolorous throughout ; in what appears to be the female 

 there is an additional minute subapical sj)ot, a minute indistinct 

 spot at upper angle of cell, and the usual spot pecidiar to the female 

 on the submedian. On the underside of the hind wing all the spots 

 are much diffused and irrorated with yellow. It is also a considerably 

 larger insect, the male expanding 12 mm., and the female 43 mm. 



I have much pleasure in naming this species after Mr. Moore, 

 from whom I have received much assistance in the loan of types 

 and other specimens.
