DESCRIPTION OF a NEW GENUS and SPECIES of DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 
BY A. G. BUTLEE, F.Z.S. 
The present genus is closely allied to Hipjyarchia, from which it 
chiefly differs in the form of the antennae, the character of the mark- 
ings, and the longer fringe to the wings ; the arrangement of the veins 
is very similar in both genera. 
Genus Auloceea, gen. nov. 
Alee magncd, nigrce albo-fasciat(B ; ciliis latis alhis nigro-variegatis ; 
Neuration of 
1. Aulocera Brahmenut. 
la. Club of Antenna. 
Neuration of 
2. Eipparchia Proserpina. 
2a. Club of Antenna. 
venis anticarum velut in Hippaechia, ad hasin aufem minus tumidis : 
posticcB venis velut in Hippaechia, cella aiitem discoidali magis Integra ; 
costa magis convexa : corj^us lanare ; palpis velut in Hippaechia. 
Antennis, clava gradatim formata, subtus stria media longitudinali 
leniter excavata. 
This group is exclusively an Indian one. All the species are 
black above, with white bands and spots. The species most nearly 
approaching them in colouring is HipparcJda Proserpina.
