D. plagiata Walk. (= costipannosa Swinh., costiplaga Swinh.) (20 b). Forewing redbrown suffused plagiala. 
with glossy leaden grey; a large chocolate brown costal patch from middle to near apex, reaching down 
to below vein 4, with sinuous white edges, rounded below; a subbasal black point in cell; two indistinct, 
oblique, sinuous dark inner lines, wide apart below cell; outer line dark, but indistinct, curving round 
the outer edge of the costal patch, then minutely waved to inner margin; a row of black points 
just before termen; hindwing dark brown with a coppery reddish gloss; fringe with fine pale line at base; 
vertex of head white. Occurs in the Punjab and Assam in North India, in Bombay in the South, in Ceylon, 
and Burma; also in the Malay Peninsula and New Guinea; examples from Burma, whence the type, Pe¬ 
nang, and the upper Aroa River, New Guinea, are small; the North Indian ones rather larger; but 
a series from the Oetakwa River, New Guinea are nearly twice as large as typical specimens, with the blotch 
darker brown and may be separated as subsp. perampla subsp. nov. (20 b). perampla.

fulvous to beyond middle; a black point in base of cell; lines redbrown; the inner oblique and waved; 
median parallel to inner; outer line bent outwards below costa, then denticulate to inner margin just 
before tornus, followed by a chocolate brown costal patch reaching vein 6, constricted at middle, with 
the end black; a faint sinuous subterminal dark shade between veins 3 and 5; a row of black spots just

followed by a roundish fuscous spot in cell; median obliquely curved outwards and indented on med¬ 
ian vein, followed by an ill-defined dark reniform stigma; outer line fine and distinct, outwardly oblique 
to vein 4, with a fault, elbow at 6, then inwardly oblique; followed by a chestnut-brown fascia, which 
forms a large blotch on costal half of wing, its outer edge limited by the subterminal line, indented 
slightly at vein 8, more deeply beyond cell, and all but interrupted on submedian fold; a row of dark 
subterminal spots; hindwing dark bronzy fuscous; underside suffused with darker; lines ill defined, shown 
on costa of forewing and right across hindwing; dark cellspots in both; head and thorax like forewing; 
dorsum darker like hindwing; palpi externally and legs fuscous; the tarsal joints pale. 1 $ from Pa- 
dang Rengas, Malay Peninsula, 25 mm. in expanse. Type in Tring Museum. 
D. squamata spec. nov. (20 b). Forewing chestnut brown; all the scales tipped with pale grey, impart- squamala. 
ing a powdery appearance to the wing and forming oblique pale costal streaks traversed by the fine

line followed by a chestnut brown fascia, forming a broad costal patch, narrowed below vein 6, and from 
6 to 4 occupied by a quadrate black blotch; its outer edge, limited by the subterminal line, indented at 8 
and beyond cell, and marked by two or three black spots below middle; terminal line brown with pale dots at 
the vein-ends; fringe brown speckled with pale; hinclwing bronzy fuscous; fringe fuscous with pale tips at 
each fold; underside ochreous, speckled and suffused with chestnut brown; cellspot and outer lines well- 
defined; head and thorax like forewing, brown with pale speckling; dorsum like hindwing, without speck¬ 
ling; face and palpi brown; legs ochreous, dark speckled; tarsi redbrown with ochreous joints. 1 30 mm. 
in expanse, from Lower Burma. Type in Tring Museum. The palpi of this species have the terminal segment 
much shorter. 
54. Genus: CJurg’ia Walk. 
Tongue present; frons sloping, smooth, the cheeks rough-scaled, in the $ leaving a depression in middle; 
palpi in $ erect, upturned in front, of face, the second segment stout, densely scaled, the third erect, fairly 
long and well scaled; in the second segment triangularly scaled, the scales produced to form a peak 
on upper edge, the third long and curved, shaped like a hare’s foot, and padded with woolly hair in front; 
abdomen of $ clothed with woolly pile; antennae of $ pubescent, with short bristles; basal half of fore wing
