dot at the costal margin, otherwise as in dinawaensis. Submarginal line also similar to that of the preceding 
species, the lighter reddish yellow spot before it only near the costal margin, not so far downward as in dina¬ 
waensis. The hindwing in aureiplaga with a fine dark inner margin. 22 mm. New Guinea. We figure a speci¬ 
men which agrees with aureiplaga in the white dots at the beginning of the two transverse lines and in the 
absence of the white radial line, but which otherwise resembles more the description (not the figure) of dina¬ 
waensis. 
B. dinawa B.-Bak. (32 a) resembles the two preceding species, but it differs in the double interior line, dinawa. 
which, however, is not discernible in the original figure. It is brown, undulate, extending somewhat inward. Cross¬ 
vein black. Exterior line dark, faded, with a white streak at the costal margin, very obliquely outward as far 
as vein 6, inward at vein 2, outside there with a white streak, then to the inner margin. Submarginal line white, 
outward as far as vein 6 and from vein 3 to the margin at vein 1. Hindwing as usual, but somewhat whitish 
at the apex and in the submedian fold. 24 mm. Described according to 1 A from New Guinea. 
B. rothschildi Warr. Thorax lilac, abdomen brownish ochreous. Forewing violett.ish brown, the lines rothschildi. 
dark, extinct, interrupted. Interior line excurved in the cell, then inward, grey before it, a brown band before 
it in the submedian fold. Exterior line with a grey streak at the costal margin, bent at vein 6, only distinct 
behind the cell and below vein 3, with a brown band there. A brown spot edged with golden yellow before it at 
vein 6, a golden yellow spot behind it, angled outside. A larger golden yellow spot at the inner margin before 
the exterior line with a black line parting it. Submarginal line white, recognizable only at the costal margin 
and above the anal angle. Hindwing in the violet margin with a brown spot, edged with white above at veins 
2 and 3. 26 mm. Described according to 1 from New Guinea. 
B. meeki B.-Bak. (32 b). Body and forewing dark chocolate brown. Interior line dark, straight, obli- meeki. 
quely inward, recognizable by the light edge. Cross-vein black. Exterior line whitish at the costal margin, then 
dark, extra-angular at vein 6, somewhat introangular below vein 2. Submarginal line whitish, uninterrupted. 
Hind wing with a row of black dots before the marginal band, greyer at the apex. 24 mm. 1 $ known from 
New Guinea. 
B. jocosatrix Gn. (32 c). The commonest species with the most extensive range. Thorax and forewing jocosatrix. 
dark lilac brown, sometimes also lighter. Interior line dark, excurved below the cell. A black luna at the cross¬ 
vein. Exterior line dark, excurved at vein 6, introangular below vein 2. Submarginal line white, outward as far 
as vein 6, then dark and near the exterior line. Rusty red at the apex and between the two lines. Hindwing 
normal. 24—28 mm. Sikkim, India, Ceylon, Tonkin, Sunda Is., Queensland. — Larva green with sublateral 
dark streaks. The stigmata with violet spots, larger spots beside the centre of the dorsum. Besides a few hairs. 
Food-plant: Terminalia belerica. 
B, simplex Wkr. (32 b). Body and forewing light brownish red. Interior line dark, outward as far as simplex. 
the submedian fold, undulate, then inward, a brown inward shadow before it. Reniform macula faded, dark, 
edged with light. Exterior line double, its branches distantly separated, the interior one dark, outwardly angled 
at vein 6, inwardly below vein 2, the exterior branch angled at vein 7, then straight on. Submarginal line white, 
outward as far as vein 6 and from vein 3 to the anal angle. Hindwing brownish at the margin, with a white 
streak near the anal angle. 24—28 mm. Sikkim, India, Tonkin. 
4. Antennae of 3 only feebly tufted in the basal parts. 
B. dorsipuncta Hmps. (= maculata Smp.) (32 b). Thorax and forewing dark violettish brown. Interior dorsipuncia. 
line finely white, edged with dark outside, far excurved in the middle, touching the reniform macula which is 
narrow and produced above; the median area below it from veins 4 to 1 striated grey. Exterior line double, 
greyisch ochreous, extra-angular at vein 6 as in simplex, introangular at vein 2. Black before it in front, obliquely 
dark behind it from vein 6 to the margin at vein 3, silvery blue below it. A triangular dark brown spot before 
the submarginal line at the costal margin. This line similar to that in the preceding species, blackish behind 
it. Hindwing normal. 25—28 mm. Singapore, Philippines. — Larva green, with small yellow subdorsal spots, 
with larger lateral spots on the last segments. Food-plant: Semecarpus. 
B. lineatrix Wkr. (32 b). Similar to nugatrix and simplex. Body and forewing lilac red-brown. Interior lineatrix. 
line represented by a white streak at the costal margin, then dark and inward. Exterior line the same, extinct 
below vein 2. Submarginal line as hitherto, red-brown behind it at the anal angle. Two radial white lines in 
the discal area through the cell and at vein 2, visible in the original figure, not mentioned in the description. 
Hindwing normal. 26 mm. India and Ceylon. But few specimens known. 
5. Antennae of plain. 
B. plumbea Wkr. (32 b). A rather insignificant species. Body and forewing light lilac brown. Interior plumbca. 
line dark brown, double, the exterior branch less strong. Two black dots at the cross-vein. Exterior line also 
double, dark, rather straightly inward, the exterior branch stronger . The enclosed median area lighter. A bent 
triangular dark red-brown spot from the costal margin near the apex to the margin at vein 3. Hindwing greyish
