DKSCRIPION OF SOME NEW SPECIES, BY W. II . BUSKIN, F.E.S. 257 



Cingala, Moore. — Lep. Ceylon, p. 120, T. 46, f. 4, 4. a, 

 (1880-1). 



Rama, Moore— Lep. Ceylon, p. 121, T. 46, f. 0, 5 a (1880-1.) 



This species appears well distinguishecrfrom the African 

 form Brigitta ( Cramer), more particularly by the fawn coloured 

 underside of the latter in which respect our Herla (AJacleay) 

 bears a close resemblance although differing entirely on the 

 upperside. 



The species is the commonest in Queensland and does not 

 .appear to have a wide range, being in fact, I believe limited to 

 this colony.

 T. Ilcspera, Bull— Ann. N.H. (5) XVII , p. 214 (1886). 

 This may be called a rather uncommon species and is 

 restricted to Queensland.

This insect I do not recognize from the description as being 

 one with which I am acquainted.
