1. Pseudatteria potamites Wlsm., ante 214. (Tab. VIII. fig. 4.) 
Antennae dark purplish fuscous. Palpi projecting twice the length .of . the. head beyond it, convex above ; 
dark purplish fuscous, white at the base and on the inner side of the median Joint to beyond its middle. 
Head smooth, purplish fuscous, with a white spot adjacent to each eye on the forehead. Thorax shining, 
reddish orange, a cuneiform fuscous spot on the anterior edge; tegulae dark purplish fuscous,. margined 
in front and externally with white. Forewings with the costa evenly arched, apex obtuse, termen 
convex, showing alternate stripes of dark purplish fuscous and white, to the number of nine of each, 
‘all parallel, the first two white streaks being shorter than the others and’ joined at their lower 
extremities in form of the letter U;. the eighth and ninth white stripes are sometimes confluent at their 
base; beyond .the succeeding fuscous streak the next: two white ones are also confluent below the middle 
and somewhat variable in form, usually throwing out a furcate branch to the termen below the apex 
from their base and leaving one or two fuscous spots detached and encroaching on the shining reddish 
orange surface preceding them; at’ the apex itself is a short V-shaped fuscous’ mark, its furcation being 
caused by a cuneiform white apical streak; below the terminal streaks (which are described as being 
connected with the costal series above) three or four ‘more alternations of white and fuscous reach to the 
tornus, in some specimens preceded by. one or two fuscous spots; within the striated margin the whole 
_ of the wing-surface (being about two-thirds of its ‘width including the dorsum) is shining reddish orange. 
Earp. al. 26-32 mm. Hindwings reddish orange, with a group of three purplish fuscous spots around 
the apex, and a series of about five spots along the margin below them; the cilia between the spots 
orange, like the wing-surface, except for one white spot at the apex, whereas the cilia of the forewings 
conform to the colour of the marginal streaks. Abdomen shining,:reddish orange, a purplish fuscous 
patch on the terminal segment, with one also on each side margined by white and representing lateral 
tufts of long hair-scales. Legs reddish orange, with some fuscous shading about the tarsi.

2. Pseudatteria geminipuncta, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 5.) 
Antennae bronzy fuscous. Palpi (missing). Head purplish fiscous; with some white marginal scales. 
Thorax orange; tegulae dark purplish fuscous, margined with white. Forewings. reddish orange, with 
alternating white and dark purplish fuscous marginal streaks, not encroaching on the ground-colour— 
eleven fuscous along the costa, of which the ninth and tenth from the base are inverted, the eleventh 
very small, just before the apex, which is itself enclosed by another furcate streak, a pair of small 
spots situated below the extremity of this and the tenth spot respectively ; there are also three fuscous 
terminal streaks, each a little longer than the one above it, and one tornal streak, sometimes broken bya 
white marginal spot; the border is about one-third of the wing-width, but widened toward and around 
the apex. Hxp.al, 16mm, Hindwings deep reddish orange, with large apical and smaller terminal
