across the basal fourth ; external area much narrower than in C. paludata, the submarginal 
pale brownish stripe almost wholly obliterated ; fringe uniformly white ; markings on the 
under surface barely indicated. Expanse of wings 21-2.2 millim. 
Dharmsala ; at sugar in August and September. 
It is just possible that Felder^s figure of his " Acidalia pedilata " may be intended to 
represent this species ; but as there is no description, and both drawing and colouring are 
perfectly unlike C. insoluta when examined in detail, it is impossible to assume that such is 
the case : in some respects it is more like C. Ugataria. 
RHODOSTROPHIA, Hubn. 
The genus Phyletis, Guen., proves to be synonymous with E/iodosfrophia ; when denuded 
wings of J?, vibicaria are compared with tliose of species of PJiyletis, the neuration is seen to 
be essentially the same ; the antennal and other characters are also identical. 
Rhodostrophia stigmatica. (Plate CXXXVI. figs. 19, 20.) 
Nearly allied to R. vibicaria ; of the same colours : the innermost rose-red line forming 
a single angle on the primaries and continued across the secondaries ; the discocellular red 
litura replaced by conspicuous black spots ; the second line slightly sinuous instead of 
straight, narrower than in R. vibicaria ; the submarginal Hue much more wavy; the marginal 
line thicker and darker, the costa of primaries more w'idely red ; the fringes rose-red to the 
base, with dark central and terminal stripes. Under surface yellower, less irrorated with 
red ; the two discal lines formed as above, but much darker ; the base of the fringes 
ochreous ; discocellular spots as above. Expanse of wings 30 millim. 
Dharmsala. 
The females of R. stigmatica have a faded appearance, all the rose-red markings being 
replaced by brown ; the species appears to be common, but about half of Mr. Hocking's 
examples were worn and faded, owing perhaps to the species having been long on the wing 
when lie came across it. 
Rhodostrophia tristrigalis. (Plate CXXXVII. fig. 1.) 
^ . Pale testaceous ; primaries and thorax above slightly duller in colouring ; wings 
crossed before the end of the discoidal cells by an oblique rose-red line, and beyond the cells 
by a band of the same colour, sharply defined internally, but diffused externally, a rose-red 
line halfway between the latter and the outer margin; fringe rose-red, with the base and 
outer edge pale testaceous ; discocellular dots black and rose-red ; face red-brown. Under 
surface sufiused w ith reddish, especially on the veins ; blackish discocellular dots, and two 
deep red parallel discal stripes, outer margin blackish ; fringes shining, greyer than above : 
palpi rosy ; legs streaked with pink. Expanse of wings 27 millim.
