primaries close to the apex ; costal margin of primaries oclireous ; two dark brown costal 
spotSj one at the commencement of the inner line^ the other at apical third ; two to five 
submarginal blackish dots ; fringe dark brown at base and outer edge : face greyish brown ; 
antennae golden brown, the base of the shank steel-blue or black. Under surface deeper in 
colour and more sericeous than the upper surface, unmarked. Expanse of wings 33- 
41 millim. 
Dharmsala, in September ; taken at sugar. 
Very closely allied to D. japonica; of a different tint and with narrower and deeper 
yellow edging to the brown lines ; the primaries rather longer. 
Drepana simillima. (Plate CXXIV. fig. 9.) 
Drepana simillima, Moore, Froc. ZooJ. Soc. 1838, p. 402. 
Closely allied to the preceding ; pale sandy buff, with paler-edged brown lines as in D. 
lilacina : primaries with similar brown costal markings ; a minute oblique brown litura on 
the upper discocellular veinlet and a brown spot at the inferior angle of the cell : costal area 
of secondaries whitish : face golden brown ; antennae golden brown, the base of the shank 
steel-blue. Under surface pale sericeous golden brown, the primaries sufl^used in front with 
greyish ; the female with a gi'ey discal line across the wings and a small grey lunule at the 
end of the cell of primaries. Expanse of wings, 6 38 millim., 5 43 millim. 
Dharmsala. 
It is possible that this may prove to be a variety of D. lilacina ; it was, however, kept 
separate by Mr. Hocking. 
AGNIDRA, Moore. 
Agnidra violacea, sp. n. (Plate CXXIV. fig. 7.) 
Violaceous grey ; wings crossed by two divergent pale ochreous lines, the inner one of 
primaries transverse, angulated on the median vein, slightly sinuous below it, starting at 
basal fourth of costal margin and terminating at about the basal third of inner margin ; 
outer line oblique, elbowed towards costa, crossing the disc ; the lines on the secondaries are 
nearly straight, the inner one at basal third, the outer one just beyond the middle of the 
wing ; costal margin of primaries ochreous ; head and antenna; brown. Wings below greyer 
and more sericeous than above, the lines wanting; fringes brow^nish, tipped with testaceous; 
anterior coxae whitish. Expanse of wings 39 millim. 
Dharmsala. 
Somewhat like the Geometrid genus Noreia.
