dentate lunulate, bent at vein 4; the subterminal pale, preceded by dentate rufous marks; some black 
terminal points; claviform stigma edged with black and connected by black scales with outer line; or¬ 
bicular and reniform also black-edged; hindwing luteous white, with dull grey termen and veins. An 
Indian species recorded from various localities in the Punjab, N. W. India; from Bombay, Canara, and 
the Nilgiri Hills in the South; and from Burma. 
C. bifascia Hmps. (9 b). Forewing rufous oc-hreous, with slight brownish irroration; a dark broad bifascia. 
space from base to termen between the two folds, expanding to near apex towards termen; the veins, 
except on this area, whitish; inner line visible only as an oblique streak on inner margin; outer line 
crenulate, excurved between costa and lower angle of cell, thence oblique; stigmata represented only by a small 
black dot on discocellular and a white one at lower angle; hindwing brownish ochreous dusted with 
darker. Known only from Ceylon. 
C. postlineata Warr. (9 b). Resembles bifascia Hmps., but much smaller; forewing brownish postlineata. 
fuscous, the costal streak pale with ochreous lines, as in that species, but the inner margin is pale 
only at anal angle; orbicular and reniform stigmata black, more visible in the $; outer line of dark points 
sometimes continuous, dentate lunulate; terminal spots black; fringe brown; hindwing dull whitish, with 
dark cellspot and outer line of points before the darker terminal border; in the $ the whole inner mar¬ 
gin is pale redbrown, from base widening outwards to termen. Mandi, North West Himalayas. 
C. scalata Warr. (9b). Forewing ochreous tinged with brownish or pinkish; the base of cell , scalata. 
a broad streak along median, and another with irregular edge along inner margin, and the termen broadly 
blackish brown, the last limited above by an oblique line from apex to vein 4, followed by a yellower 
oblique pale space from costa to median, crossed by distinct black veins and grey interspaces; a white 
dot at lower end of reniform; inner and outer lines slightly marked by black dots; fringe black brown; 
hindwing white, with a slight irregular grey border as far as vein 1, along which the fringe also is 
grey. Mount Marapok, British North Borneo; described from 2 
C. albicosta Hmps. (= proleuca Hmps.) (9 b, c). Forewing fuscous; the costal area, as far as middle alMcosta. 
of cell, ochreous whitish, narrowing thence to apex; some ill-defined black spots in cell and a white point 
at its lower angle represent the stigmata; outer line represented by a series of black dots on veins, 
outcurved to vein 4, thence oblique; a row of black terminal dots; hindwing ochreous whitish, except 
at base suffused with fuscous. Occurs in the South of India only, being recorded from the Nilgiri Hills in 
Madras, and Pirmad, Travancore. 
C. subterminata Hmps. (9 c). Forewing grey varied with red-brown; the whole of the outer subtermi- 
area except towards costa, the space below cell from before middle, and the inner margin from base suffused nata - 
with fuscous; an obscure black streak from base below cell; inner line obscurely dentate, oblique; outer 
double, filled in with grey, excurved above vein 4, oblique below; subterminal diffuse and pale; fringe 
whitish chequered with brown; claviform stigma absent; the orbicular elongate, indistinct; reniform 
with centre dark within a grey ring, dentate inwards along median vein; hindwing brownish white; 
the veins and termen brown. Described from a single $ from Sikkim, N. India. 
6. Genus: Scotogramma Smith. 
Differs from the preceding genus Craterestra in the frontal projection not being truncate, but only 
strongly protuberant. Type S. submarina Grote, from America. 
S. agrotiformis Hmps. (9 c). Forewing whitish, suffused with fuscous and pale brown; a slight black agroti- 
streak beyond lower end of subbasal line on submedian fold; lines dark; the inner waved; the outer f or,nis - 
dentate lunulate, the teeth produced to white points on veins, which are then streaked with black; subter¬ 
minal line white, dentate, preceded by dark dentate marks at middle; terminal black points tipped 
with white; claviform strong, black edged; orbicular and reniform black edged, the former round with 
a pale annulus, the latter large and fuscous; hindwing white, fuscous towards termen and along veins. 
Found only in Ceylon. 
S. trifolii Rott. (= chenopodii Schiff., verna Esp>., treitschkei Hbn.) (Yol. 3, PI. 15 g). Forewing trifolii. 
grey, dark-speckled; costa black-spotted; claviform stigma small; orbicular round, pale, sometimes whitish; 
reniform large, the lower lobe dark grey, all three finely black-edged; veins towards termen finely black; 
hindwing dull whitish, with a broad terminal border and the veins fuscous. Like B. brassicae this palae- 
arctic insect extends from Kashmir into the Punjab, N. W. India and Sikkim. Of the different forms 
saucia Esp. (Vol. 3, PI. 15 g) is that which shows a tendency to an ochreous tint; — in ab. farkasii saucia. 
Tr. (Vol. 3, pi. 15 h) the forewing is more variegated, light and dark, the larger pale orbicular stigma f ar kasii
