Ill 
$ . Larger : the stripes on the wings almost wholly greyish brown instead of rose-red ; 
the discocellular spots indistinct. The under surface paler and much less suffused with red ; 
the stripes below are nevertheless almost as red as in the male. Expanse of wings 30 millim.

Rhodostrophia rara. (Plate CXXXVII. fig. 2.) 
. Primaries ochreous ; an abbreviated dusky stripe at basal third from inner margin ; 
a black discocellular dot ; a dull rosy discal band with dark inner edge ; a submarginal series 
of dusky <-shaped markings; a dark red-brown marginal line; fringe shining cupreous 
brown, with a dark leaden-grey central stripe : secondaries creamy ochreous, whitish towards 
base ; a black discocellular dot ; a double rosy-brown band represented by two parallel 
stripes beyond the cell ; a submarginal series of rosy-brown dashes, and a marginal series of 
darker brown dashes ; fringe paler than in primaries : body creamy ochraceous, with slightly 
darker bands ; face red-brown ; antenna? pale golden with testaceous pectinations. Wings 
below shining golden ochraceous, with purplish discocellular liturte ; a darker bordered rosy 
band beyond the middle, a submarginal series of rose-red <-shaped markings, and a marginal 
series of dashes of the same colour; fringes shining rosy lilacine, traversed by a dark grey 
stripe and with yellow basal line ; front of pectus deep ochreous. Expanse of wings 29

Hydata amplipennis. (Plate CXXXVI. fig. 18.) 
J'. Very similar in form to that sex of H. subfenestraria, the primaries having the inner 
border expanded so as to cover a great part of the costal half of the secondaries, as in the 
Euplaiince among the llhopalocera ; the antenucC, however, are less di.vtinctly pectinated than 
in the New-World species ; very pale buft^, the wings, excepting towards the middle, irrorated 
with purplish brown, a slender dark brown marginal line, interrupted at the extremities of 
the nervures ; black discocellular dashes. Primaries crossed just beyond the basal third bv 
an indistinct straight brown line ; an irregularly undulated dark brown line near the outer 
* This genus may be jilaced next to Slcijania.
