Parorgyia dalbergise. (Plate CXXIII. figs. 9-11.) 
Dasychira dalbergioe, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1888, p. 399. 
Allied to P. inclusa. Primaries dull copper-brown, with a faintly indicated, paler, sub- 
basal spot ; an angulated, black-edged, pale marking at the end of the cell, two or three black 
spots at base ; a cluster of whitish scales before the middle of the costa ; an undulated black 
line, white-edged on the costa, bounding a discal series of black -pupi lied, oval, pale brown 
spots ; a marginal series of pale-bordered, subconical, black spots : secondaries whity 
brown : thorax slightly greyer than the primaries ; abdomen whity brown, with blackish 
dorsal tufts on the basal segments. Under surface whity brown : discoidal area of 
primaries greyish ; a grey spot at the end of the cell and an oblique grey stripe starting 
just beyond the third fourth of the costal margin and crossing the disc to the first median 
branch ; a series of grey spots on the fringe : secondaries with a minute greyish dash at the 
end of the cell and a subangulated, grey, discal stripe at third fourth : palpi, front of pectus, 
and anterior legs smoky brown. Expanse of wings 37 millim. 
? . Considerably larger than the male : the primaries more elongated ; the discocellular 
spot and the pale discal spots widened, confluent ; the submarginal black pupils of the 
marginal spots modified into lunules and with white inner edges : antennae and front legs 
sprinkled with whitish scales. Expanse of wings 66 millim.

S , var. ? Broader and much darker than the type : the primaries irrorated with white ; 
a conspicuous white subbasal spot ; black centres of the discal series of spots more prominent, 
partly white-edged ; submarginal, white-edged, blackish lunules more nearly as in the 
female; the discal stripe on under surface of all the wings further from the outer margin. 
Expanse of wings 41 millim.

The caterpillar of this species (see Plate CXXXVIII. fig. 12) is of a brown colour and is 
considerably more like that of Orgyia than of Dasychira. 
LYMANTRIA, Hiibn. 
Lymantria nigra. (Plate CXXIII. figs. 2, 3.) 
Lymantria nigra, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1888, p. 399. 
Near to L. marginata, Walk., from Silhet and Darjiling. The male much darker owing 
to the fact that all the brown intervals between the black lines on the primaries are much 
narrower and of a deeper brown colour. The female differs in the greater width and 
consequent confluence of the black lines across the primaries ; the secondaries sometimes have
