Setodes, Rambur. 



Setodes argentifera, nov. sp. S. pallide lutea. Antenna3 albidae, 

 late fulvo cinctae. Pedes luteo-albidi ; tibiis anticis muticis. Alae 

 anticae pallide fulvo-luteae, angustatae, seriebus punctorum argen- 

 teorum circa sex longitudinalibus ornatae ; anastomosi obliqua, cel- 

 lulis apicalibus septem : posticae albo-hyalinae, albo-fimbriata3 ( <5). 



Long. corp. 2f lin. (=5| mill.) ; exp. alar. 7 lin. (=15 mill.). 



Hab. India septentrionalis (in Mus. auct.). 



Whitish-yellow, ochreous beneath. Head: antennae whitish, the joints 

 long, the apical half of each joint fulvous, basal joint bulbous, 

 wholly yellowish ; palpi whitish-yellow, clothed with concolorous 

 hairs ; eyes large, black, somewhat brassy. Legs pale yellowish or 

 whitish ; anterior tibiae with no spur ; intermediate and posterior 

 each with a pair of moderately long apical spurs. Abdomen yellow, 

 somewhat reddish ; an elongate, obtuse lobe proceeds from the upper 

 margin of the last dorsal segment ; from beneath this lobe proceed 

 two slender spines (app. intermed.), applied closely one against the 

 other, and curved strongly downwards ; app. inf. slender, obtuse, 

 finger-shaped, curved strongly upwards, originating from a broad, 

 sub triangular, lateral basal piece. 

 Anterior wings narrow, obtuse, pale fulvous, with about six longitudinal 

 rows of small silvery-white points, one row in the area between each 

 oi the principal longitudinal veins ; fringes golden yellow ; veins 

 pale ; discoidal cell elongate ; anastomosis oblique, and somewhat 

 irregular (see figure) ; ramus clavalis simple ; hence there are seven 

 apical cells. Posterior wings whitish, subhyaline, with white fringes. 

 (PI. III. fig. 13, details.) 

 I have examined four males of this delicate species, taken by 

 Mr. C. Home in North-west India. It is closely allied to the 

 European S. hiera, Kolenati, which also has unarmed anterior 

 tibiae, and silvery spots on the wings ; but these spots are larger 

 in argentifera.
