COEYMICA. — HTPEPHYEA. 
101 
margin ochreous flecked with black ; a barely perceptible trisinuated reddish line across the 
basal fourth ; a black spot at the end of the cell : head and collar dark red-brown ; antennie 
and abdomen much paler^ the former rosy. Under surface pale rufous brownish^ sericeous : 
the wings mottled with black ; a black spot at the end of each discoidal ceil; the oblique 
stripe darker than above, bordered internally with ochreous and pink ; outer margins lilacinc 
pink ; fringes darker than above ; costa of pi-imaries paler than above : legs slightly black- 
speckled. Expanse of wings 37-40 millim. 
Dharmsala; at sugar in September. 
CORYMICA, Walk. 
Corymica vitrigera. (Plate CXXXV. fig. li.) 
Nearly allied to C.pryerioi Japan : of the same colours and general pattern ; it, however, 
differs constantly in the fact that the dark spots on the inner margin are united at their inner 
extremities by a longitudinal brown bar, the two inner ones invariably, but all three usually ; 
the spot, below these markings, on the costa of secondaries is also widened upon the margin, 
so that it is funnel-shaped instead of forming a short transverse band, and the spot on the 
abdominal margin is decidedly larger. Expanse of wings 35-40 millim. 
Dharmsala ; obtained by beating. 
All the species of Corymica are very closely allied ; but if Mr. Hocking had not retained 
eight examples of this species, it would have been impossible to be sure of the constancy of 
the slight characters which distinguish it from the Japanese form. 
HYPEPHYRA, gen. nov. 
Nearest to the New-World genus Acrosemia, of- the same form and with very similar 
neuration, palpi, and antennae; the body is, however, altogether weaker and much shorter: 
the tegulje smaller and without the long fringes of Acrosemia, and the anal tuft is less deve- 
loped ; the coloration is intermediate between Hyperythra and Ephyra or Anisodcs, from all 
of which genera the short and delicate ciliation of the antennse at once distinguishes it. 
Hypephyra terrosa. (Plate CXXXV. fig. 17.) 
Whity bi'own suff'used with pink, irrorated with darker brown ; external third of wings 
darker than the rest of the upper surface, bounded internally by an indistinct brownish-edged 
slightly irregular transverse paler line : primaries with the costa pale, flecked with blackisli : 
secondaries with a grey discocellular spot. Under surface pale creamy stramineous, sparsely 
irrorated wdth grey ; external area of primaries deeper yellow, with a greyish patch toAvards 
inner margin ; fringes grey, with bronze reflections. Expanse of wings 40 millim, 
Dharmsala.
