$. Length of fore wing 34 mm., width. 13-5 mm. 

 Hab. W. Himalayas (Mussooree). Very rare, and early 

 stages unknown. 



59 b. Cypa pallens enodis Jord. (Fig. 53 G-K, genitalia ; fig. 55, 

 holotype <J; PL III, fig. 6, larva ; PI. XIV, fig. 6, larva). 

 Cypa pallens enodis, Jordan, 1931, p. 240 (Assam ; Shillong). 



Imago. — <J$. Upperside clay-colour to cinnamon, with 

 a strong drab or fawn bloom in fresh specimens ; hind wing- 

 tawny. Underside, basal two-thirds of fore wing (except 

 margins) tawny, terminal area greyish, contrasting with 

 the tawny area ; hind wing clay- colour, with a long and 

 prominent tawny smear along abdominal fold. Distal margin 

 of fore wing irregular ; second segment of palpus very short. 

 Length of fore wing 30 mm. or less ; width 12 mm. or less. 



£. Anal tergite (x. t) divided as in C. uniformis, but broader, 

 the two apical processes much broader and shorter and obtuse ;

Fig. 55. — Cypa pollens enodis Jord., holotype <$. 



the ridge representing the anal sternite (x. st) with a small 

 tuberculiform projection on each side far away from middle, not 

 near middle as in C. uniformis (fig. 53 G). Clasper (fig. 53 H) 

 narrower at apex than in the previous species ; above the 

 armature a longitudinal setiferous fold as in C. uniformis ; 

 proximal process (ap) broad, convex on proximal side, concave 

 on distal side, somewhat rugulose in apical half, without teeth ; 

 .arch (ar ) ventrally dilated near base ; process of C. decolor 

 absent. Penis-sheath (fig. 53 J) wider than in both previous 

 species ; on left side a triangular subapical process, sharply 

 pointed, with the frontal margin dentate from close to base to 

 apex ; the process recalling that of C. uniformis, but more 

 apical and different in shape and direction ; on frontal side 

 of process the sheath concave, as it is in the other species, but 

 in contradistinction to them there is at the proximal side 

 of this depression a dentate, transverse ridge which extends 

 across the right side of the sheath, probably being homologous 

 to the longitudinal ridge of C. uniformis. 



$. Ante -vaginal ridge of seventh sternite strongly wrinkled 

 (fig. 53 K, vii. st), higher than in C. decolor. The smooth post-
