domen above pink with black transverse bands, beneath black. Forewing brownish-black, with a median, 
whitish-pink longitudinal band from the base to the apex. Hindwing light pink, with a blackish-grey dot at 
the cell-end and 3 submarginal, equally coloured spots margined by a light yellow. The $ has a darker 
carmine hindwing with a black margin and a submarginal black transverse band extending from the anal angle 
j lava. to the distal margin at vein 6; costal region black, connected with the discoidal spot. — ab. flava ab. nov. has 
confluens. all the light parts yellow. -— ab. corstluens ah. nov. has the submarginal transverse band much broader and 
fused with the black margin, a long black stripe runs from this band along the anal fold; the median band 
of the forewing is likewise narrowed. Length of forewing: 20 to 23 mm, $ 25 mm. South Central India. 
imbuta. E. imbuta Wkr. (24 c). Antennae and forehead smoky brown, hindhead white; tegulae and shoulder- 
covers smoky-brown, narrowly margined with yellow; abdomen carmine. Forewing smoky-brown with yellow 
veins and-irregular white spots of various size between the veins. Hindwing smoky-black, the distal margin 
and a narrow median transverse band golden yellow. $ with much larger, white spots of the forewing. Length 
ikkimensis. of forewing: $ -20 to 23, 2 27 to 37 mm. North West India. — sikkimensis Roihsch. (24 c) is distinguished 
from the type by the almost absent or very small white spots of the forewing, the yellow transverse band 
and the yellow margin of the bindwing being much broader, too. Sikkim. 
florcscens. E. florescens Moore (24c). <$: palpi and forehead black; antennae black; upper head white; tegulae 
smoky brown, broadly margined with white and narrowly with red; thorax and shoulder-covers smoky-brown, 
broadly margined with white; abdomen carmine. Forewing smoky brown with golden j'ellow veins and large 
and small white spots between the veins, in the cell and at the costa. Hindwing white, a submarginal row 
of spots and a discoidal spot being smoky-grey. The $ has a median row of black dots on the abdomen. 
Length of forewing: 23, $ 30 mm. Sikkim. 
khasiana. E. khasiana Roihsch. (24 c) has quite brownish-black wings with golden veins, and only on the fore- 
normalis. wing small, white dots. — ab. normalis ab. nov. palpi smoky brown; head white; antennae black; collar 
carmine; tegulae and shoulder-covers smoky-brown, broadly margined with white; thorax smoky-brown; 
abdomen carmine, tinged yellowish. Forewing smoky-brown, with orange-yellow veins; 2 irregular, long, 
white spots above vein 1, and 3 smaller ones, as well as a basal longitudinal streak at the proximal margin, 
several white spots between the veins near the distal margin, one in the cell and 3 at the costal margin. 
Hindwing smoky-grey, with yellow veins and a white distal margin and several white spots at the costal margin 
and in the disc of the wing. The 2 differs by the red margining of the tegulae and the black median row 
of dots of the abdomen, the white longitudinal band along vein 1 and the larger white spots of the forewing; 
the hindwings are white, the basal third, a very large discoidal spot and a broad submarginal transverse band 
femina. smoky-grey; the veins yellowish. — In ab. femina ab. nov. the has the same hindwings as the 2.

interfixa. E. interfixa Wkr. (24 c). Palpi white; head and antennae black; tegulae and thorax black, margined 
with white and set with white hairs; abdomen yellow, with black transverse bands. Forewing whitish yellow, 
with 3 black discal transverse bands, most of the veins with black longitudinal streaks, the distal margin as 
well as the apical three fourths of the costa black, the basal quarter of the costa and a large spot behind 
the black discoidal spot golden yellow. Hindwing golden yellow, a large discoidal spot and the broad sub- 
rufa. marginal band black. — ab. rufa ab. nov. has the abdomen and the basal quarter of the costa on the forewing 
red instead of golden yellow. Length of forewing: 16 mm. Tasmania. 
11. Genus: Pericallia Hbn. 
Distinguished from Estigmene by the palpi mostly extending beyond the head, the smoothly scaled 
head and thorax and by vein 3 of the forewing rising rather far from the lower cell-angle, 5 above the angle, 
and 6 from the upper angle, 11 from the cell. Veins 3 and 5 of the hindwing rise close at the lower cell- 
angle, 6 and 7 from the upper angle. About 40 forms, 36 of which are found in the Indo-Australian region. 
everetti. P. everetti Roihsch. (19 h). <$■. head blackish-brown; antennae black, strongly combed; tegulae dark 
brown, margined with orange-yellow; thorax dark blackish-brown; abdomen above blackish-brown, sides 
and margins of the 6th, 7th and 8th rings dark yellow, at each side one row of black dots. Forewing blackish- 
brown with light veins, a creamy-white transverse spot at the cell-apex. Hindwing orange-yellow with a broad 
black distal margin and an irregular black median band. Length of forewing: 22 mm. $ unknown. Indru-

macjna. P. magna Wilern. (19 i). head creamy-white; antennae black; thorax creamy-white, striped and 
spotted dark brown, tegulae margined with red; abdomen above carmine with a dorsal row of black spots. 
Forewing creamy-white, a brown, triangular costal spot near the apex, a brown longitudinal stripe from the
