CEASPEDIA. — HTEIA.

lower half of the outer area suifused with black, bounded inwardly by an irregular black line. 
Hind wing with indistinct subbasal and medial lines ; an irregular black postmedial line, 
beyond which the ai'ea is blotched with black. 
Nearest to C. chotaria, Swinh. 
Acidalia ferruginea. (Plate CLXIX. fig. 20.) 
Expanse \^ inch. 
Male and Female. Ochreous white. Frons black ; palpi brown ; thorax and abdomen 
banded with pale ferruginous. Fore wing with the discal area suffused with ferruginous from 
the base ; a black speck at the end of the cell ; antemedial, medial, and postmedial lines 
angled below the costa, the last with a black speck at the point of the angle ; outer area pale • 
ferruginous, traversed by a pale waved line. Hind wing with a black speck at the end of the 
cell ; antemedial, medial, and postmedial waved ferruginous lines, the last forming a broad 
band. Both wings with black marginal specks. 
EOIS, Hubn. 
Eois, Huhn. Verz. p. 308. 
Antennae annul ated and slightly ciliated in both sexes ; palpi slight and upturned. Hind 
tibia thickened and with no spurs, but with a tuft of hairs from the base in the male, with a 
terminal pair of spurs in the female. Fore wing acute; the five subcostals stalked together; 
the second median from close to the end of the cell. Hind wing with the two subcostals 
stalked, the second median from near end of cell. 
H~ aurauraria being the type of Stephen's genus Hp'ia, Hiibner's second species ostri- 
naria, with which the following is conspecific, becomes the type of the genus Eois ; the 
American acute-winged forms are probably rightly placed in the genus by Packard. 
Eois lineata. (Plate CLXIX. fig. 10.) 
Expanse ? f inch. 
Female. Dull purplish ochreous, the wings irrorated with purple scales. Fore wing with 
a dark speck at end of cell ; a straight antemedial erect line ; a slightly waved submarginal 
line followed by some purplish blotches, especially towards outer angle. Hind wing more 
thickly irrorated with purplish scales ; a dark speck towards end of cell. 
Hyria auricincta. (Plate CLXX. fig. 1.) 
Expanse ly'^ inch. 
Female. Bright crimson ; a white band between the antenna3 ; both wings with a mar- 
ginal orange-yellow band, the crimson running out to the margin between the second and 
third median nervules of each wine:. 
Allied to H. permutans, Hmpsn., from the Nilgiris, but without the ante- and postmedial 
lines to the fore wing and the cell-spots to each wing.
