below bright rose-red ; legs yellowish, the femora fringed with bright rose-coloured hair. 

 Expanse of wings 3 inches 5 lines. 

 Darjiling {Ladder dale) . 



The original type of P. gloriosa is unfortunately so rubbed and faded that without com- 

 parison it could not have been identified ; since, therefore, the description and figure already 

 published do not correctly characterize the species, it has been necessary to make a second 

 type of the fresh example collected by Dr. Lidderdale. 



PANACRA, Walk. 



Panacra vagans. (Plate LXXVIII. fig. 7.) 



Primaries above olive-brown, basal area cinereous, costal margin sandy yellow ; externo- 

 discal area, especially towards the external angle, whity brown mottled with black ; a subapical 

 costal spot of the same colour ; a very oblique irregular belt, occupying more than a third of 

 the costal area at its commencement, but abruptly narrowing to a stripe below the cell, 

 reddish olivaceous, crossed by streaks of pinky white and distinctly black-bordered, bounded 

 internally by a sinuous deep red-brown band ; an indistinct zigzag black line across the basal 

 area ; three black oblique lines across the disk, the two inner ones approximated, the outer 

 one sinuated towards the inner margin ; a sharply-defined zigzag black stripe at apex : secon- 

 daries smoky brown with pink reflections ; costal border whitish ; two parallel ill-defined black- 

 mottled submarginal whitish streaks not reaching the apex ; outer border dusky ; a bright 

 saffron-yellow anal spot : thorax olivaceous, longitudinally striped with pinky whitish ; tegulse 

 fringed with pale golden or brassy scales : abdomen red-brown, densely sprinkled with large 

 grey or pearly scales ; a broad brown-edged (almost golden) belt on each side. Wings below 

 dull red, with the disk grey, traversed by three or four approximated black lines ; costa 

 yellowish, speckled with black ; external area pale brown, varied with grey and mottled with 

 black : primaries with the basal area sandy brown ; apical zigzag black streak less prominent 

 than above : body below yellowish, almost white in the centre of the ventral region, with 

 two terminally convergent longitudinal brown ventral lines ; sides sprinkled with metallic 

 golden scales. Expanse of wings 2 inches 11 lines. 

 Borneo and Bhotan (Lidderdale) . 



Our type from Borneo differs in no respect from the Indian example except in its much 

 finer condition. As there cannot be a question respecting the localities, it is evident that this 

 species must have a very extensive range ; however, this is not at all unusual with the 

 Sphingidae.
