grey ; tliorax black-speckled. Under surface pale brown, wings -with golden reflections : 
primaries with greyish discoidal area ; a pale crescent at end of cell ; costa irrorated with 
white almost to the middle, and thence alternately black and white to apex ; a slender black 
marginal line ; fringe as above : secondaries with whitish abdominal area ; a spot at end of 
cell and a lunulated discal line brown ; costal half of wing irrorated with the same colour ; a 
slender blackish marginal line, followed by a whitish line at base of fringe : body below 
whitish, irrorated with grey ; anterior and middle legs with blackish upper surface ; tarsi of 
all the legs above blackish barred with white. Expanse of wings 32 millim.

HYPOCALID^. 
HYPOCALA, Guen. 
Hypocala subsatura, var. limbata. (Plate CXXXI. fig. 13.) 
There can be little doubt that this is a variety of //. subsatura. The primaries are, 
however, wholly dissimilar, and, excepting that they are greyer, correspond closely in marking 
with those of H. rostrata : the secondaries and body agree with typical H. subsatura. Expanse 
of wings 43 millim. 
Dbarmsala, (Three examples.) 
It seems highly probable, from a study of the genus, that the species of Hypocala are 
triiiiorphic, and may be arranged consequently under their varieties thus : — 
Primaries uniform : 
H. subsatura : 
H. violacea : 
H. deflorata : 
H. guttiventris : 
And so on throughout the genus.

CATOCALID^. 
Catocala inconstans. (Plate CXXXIT. figs. 2, 3.) 
Allied to C. jonasii and C. patala ; form and almost the pattern of the former, but in 
coloration nearer to the latter ; from C. jonasii it differs in its much darker primaries, which 
are ash-grey, with the lighter markings whity brown, sometimes edged with white ; the lines 
are black instead of blackish brown ; the inner line of the central belt is irregularly and 
deeply crinkled instead of being slightly trisinuate ; the outer line is very acutely bidentate
