LEOCYMA, Guen. 
Leocyma cygnus. (Plate CX. fig. 3.) 
Chasmlna cygnus, Walker, Cat. Lep. Hi>t. ix. p. 147. n. 1 (1856). 
Shining snow-white ; apical half of costal border of primaries, external border of these 
wings, and top of head slightly brownish ; face flesh-coloured ; tibiae and tarsi of front legs 
ochreous, spotted with black. Expanse of wings 41 millim. 
North India. 
The genus Chasinina, founded by Walker for the reception of this and another species, 
was referred by him first to the Leucaniidse, and subsequently to the Glottulidse. 
ACONTIA, Ochs. 
Acontia judicata. (Plate CX. fig. 2.) 
Acontia judicata, Waller, Cat. Lep. Het. xv. p. 1760 (1858). 
Shining snow-white : primaries with four black costal spots at regular intervals, the first 
close to the base and the last at external third; the third of these spots continued obliquely 
downwards, by a testaceous line sprinkled with black scales, to the subcostal vein ; the fourtli 
spot forming the commencement of a slightly oblique and sinuous transverse discal testaceous 
line which extends to the inner margin ; a marginal series of very delicate black dashes ; 
fringe very long, traversed by two pale lines, the inner one testaceous. Primaries below with 
the last black costal spot and the marginal black dashes of the upper surface, but no other 
markings ; front legs spotted with black. Expanse of wings 29 millim. 
North India. 
This species has much the aspect of a Leocyma ; but difters in the form of its palpi, which 
are curved upwards to above the level of the head.
