Chelura bifasciata, Hope.—Straminea, antennis nigris; alis anticis fcscusbinis aurantns mag- 
nitis fasciisque nigns utrinquc positis. Caput nigrum ; tborace glabro nitido; abdomen 
annulis 7 primis obscure atris, octono rubropiceo; cauda concolori. Corpus infra nigrum.

Gymnautocera, Gudrin, Mag. d’Entomol. tab. 12 (1831).—Caracteres g^nenques—Trompe 
longue, palpes inferieures, tres courtes, ne d^passantpas le chaperon; antennes pcctineeg 
dansles deux sexes; ailes e?tendues, grandes, ayant souvent des formes analogues a celles 
des pa pi] Ions troyens; les supcrieures et les inferieures egalement colorees ; corps allonge, 
assez mince. v 
Ce nouveau genre rcssemble un peu aux callimorphes et aux ecailles, pres desquelles nous lo 
placons, mais les antennes, pcctinees dans les deux sexes, Pen sdparent bien nettemcnt. 
La forme des ailes, dans plusieurs espies, leur donne une grande, ressemblance avec les 
papillons proprement dits ; enfin la coloration de leurs quatre ailes etant egalement fonc£e 
indiquerait que les superieures ne recouvrcnt pas les inferieures dansle repos, comme eela 
a lieu clicz les deaillcs ct les callimorphes.

On la trouve au Bengale.

la Cochin-chine, et du Japon, ainsi qu’une espece figuree par Hiibnersouslc nomdeN. 
tiberina.

This remarkable insect appears to be the extreme type of a very 
numerous Indian group of Lepidoptera, to which belong the species 
named Capys pectinicorius Thallo et Rhodope. It is impossible 
to decide upon their real affinities until we obtain a knowledge 
of the metamorphoses of some of the species. 
I have also formed Bombyx sanguiflua of Drury into the genus 
Amesia, of which the description, accompanied by a new figure 
of this remarkable Assamese type, will appear in the forthcoming 
volume of Moths in Jardine’s Naturalist’s Library. 
'Several other closely allied species from India with which I am 
acquainted will probably appear in a future part of this work.
