213. OpMusa pallida subplaga subspec. uov. 



c?. Similar to 0. pallida Walker, but in the secondary there is no broad black 

 band, its place being partially occupied by a largish black oval patch in the 

 postmedial area between veins 3 and G. 



Hab. Mafaln, 6000 ft., August. 



Type in my collection. 



214. Lagoptera pratti spec. nov. 



(J. Head and thorax greenish lilack, with mctathoracic tuft tipped with red; 

 abdomen chrome-yellow, with three aual segments blackish. Primary deep black, 

 with a small basal whitish spot; a creamy ovate spot in the cell, followed by a 

 larger snbovate spot at the lower angle of the cell, above which is a similar coloured 

 dash. Secondary with the basal two-thirds chrome-yellow, terminal third black. 



Exjiause : 98 mm.

Pseudophyx gen. nov. 



Palpus roughly scaled, second joint reaching vertex of head ; third joint 

 smoothly sealed, of moderate length : antennae long, very finely and minutely 

 ciliate ; proboscis fairly developed ; legs hairy, hindlegs with retractile tufts on 

 the femora and tibiae ; thorax smoothly haired, abdomen without dorsal tufts. 

 Neuration : Primary with vein 2 from about the middle of the cell, 4 from tiie 

 angle, 3 from well before, S from directly above the angle, 6 from below the 

 angle, 7, 8, 9 and 10 stalked ; areole minute, vein 7 from its extremity, 8, 9 and 10 

 lieing on a long stalk. 11 lying close above 10, touching it for some distance. 

 Secondary with two internal veins, 4 from the angle, 5 directly above the angle, 

 G from the upper angle, 7 from above the angle, 8 bent down near the base to 

 touch 7, then rising imujediately in a bold curve. Primary of male with a large 

 cell on its nndersurface between veins la and 2, filled with long downy soft hairs ; 

 a fine pencil of coarser hairs between veins 2 and 3. Secondary of male with 

 a large tuft of long hairs from the underside of the coSta, and on the npperside 

 a large horny glabrous patch occujiying the basal and median areas to below 

 vein 2. Primary with costa straight, then slightly depressed, rising rapidly to the 

 apex ; termen slightly produced to vein G, then receding greatly to the toruus 

 at vein la, which is considerably shortened. Secondary with costa strongly curved 

 to vein 7, where an obtuse angle is formed ; termen gently curved from that point 

 to the tornus. 



Type : Pseiidopln/j- jirutti B-B. 



This genus is probably near Ophyx Guenee.

 subbasal spots ; orbicular small, finely encircled ; a dark irregular jmstmedial jiatch, 

 edged internally by a curved dark line, which crosses the obscure reuiforra ;
