LEPTOJANA.—DREATA. 69 
Leptojana lineata. (Plate XCVII. fig. 5.) 
?. Dreata lineata, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. iv. p. 907. n. 11 (1855). 
Messata lineata g, Walker, J. c. v. p. 1108. n. 2 (1855). 
Pale buff, the wings crossed by a very slightly simuated dark-brown discal line ; head, 
prothorax, and base of primaries ochraceous; abdomen testaceous. Under surface slightly 
paler, the brown line considerably paler; legs ochreous. Expanse of wings 2 inches 7 lines. 
North India. 
Walker originally described this species correctly as a female; but, having omitted to 
label it, he subsequently described it as a male. When arranging the Collection he placed 
the specimen under the genus in which it was first described. 
PACHYJANA, gen. nov. 
Allied to Hupterote and Jana, but the wings shorter and comparatively broader ; the 
antennee distinctly shorter and more curved than in Hupterote, primaries more woolly below. 
Type P. undans. 
Pachyjana undans. (Plate XCVILI. fig. 6.) 
Dreata undans, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. iv. p. 905. n. 7 (1855). 
Pale sandy brown: primaries crossed by seven zigzag purplish-brown stripes, of which 
the fourth and fifth coalesce below the middle of the wing, the first, second, and fifth wider 
than the others ; fringe slightly yellower than the rest of the wing: secondaries whitish, with 
a central stripe, indications of two subbasal stripes, and a broad external border with zigzag 
inner edge brownish; fringe as in the primaries: thorax pale brown; head and abdomen 
testaceous. Under surface testaceous: wings crossed by a brown squamose discal stripe and 
two or three ill-defined parallel stripes between the latter and the base. Expanse of wings 
2 inches 6 lines. 
Himalayas. 
DREATA, Walker. 
This genus must be restricted to D. hades, the first species treated of by Mr. Walker in 
his tabulation of the forms associated under the name Dreata. It differs from Hupterote in its 
shorter curved antenne, the pectinations of which are shorter, and in the shorter costal margin 
of the primaries, which is more distinctly convex towards the apex*. 
* It has been proposed to regard D. edulis as type; but, apart from the fact that Walker was 
doubtful about his identification of this species, it is more natural that one of his own species should be 
chosen for type of his genus.
