Plasmaticus <^en. nov. 



Palpi with second segment thickly scaled reaching to the vertex ; end segment 

 short, shortly scaled ; antennae simple ; legs roughly scaled, spiued. Wings : 

 costa curved for the basal fifth, straight for tliree-fifths, highly arched at a fifth 

 from apex ; apex acute ; termen excavated below apex to vein 5, which is prolonged, 

 and below which the termen is angled, receding gently obliquely to the toruns. 

 Secondary with termen straiglit from vein 7 to vein 2, where it is angled in an 

 upward curve to the tornus at \b. Neuration : Primary with veins 3, 4 and 5 

 from close to the lower angle ; vein 5 ascending to well above the middle of the 

 termen. Secondary with veins 2, 3, 4 and 5 from the lower angle. 



Type : Plasmaticus angulata B-B. 



I have ventured to diagnose this new genus from the female moth as far as 

 possible, there being no doubt that though somewhat near Platijja it is quite 

 distinct from it. 



238. Plasmaticxis angulata spec. nov. 



? . Head and thorax chocolate-browu with scattered white scales ; abdomen 

 dark grey. Primary chocolate-brown, sparingly irrorated with fine white scales ; 

 a basal costal patch of white scales, another patch at a third, and another patch 

 darkly centred at three-fifths ; a white spot in the cell ; a trace of an antemedial 

 line ; postmedial line waved below vein 4, dark, a broadish paler area beyond it ; a 

 subterminal row of white dots ; three small greenish grey patches of scales by the 

 apex, placed in a triangle ; a larger patch between veins 3 and 5, and another 

 below 2. Secondary brownish grey ; termen with lavender scales below vein 3, 

 edged internally broadly with reddish ; a white dash in the angle between veins lb 

 and 2. 



Underside lavender-grey, with a postmedial and subterminal ochreous grey 

 spotted line in both wings, the postmedial in the secondary being bisected by a 

 dark dividing line. 



Expanse : 58 mm. 



Hah. The type is in my collection from Dinawa, where the insect flies in 

 August. 



239. Episparis angulatilinea spec. nov. 



S and ? . Head, thorax, and abdomen jiale cinnamon-brown ; both wings pale 

 cinnamon-brown. Primary with a slightly darker small basal costal patch ; 

 submedian line twice highly angulated above the lower margin of the cell, then 

 strongly oblique basewards ; a black point in the cell, two snow-white small spots 

 at the end of the cell, the lower one the larger of the two ; an irregular indefinite 

 angled dark line ; postmedial line whitish, rising by a white costal dash angled at 

 vein 9 ; below where it is irregularly curved outwards to vein 2, where is a slight 

 internal angle ; beyond this line a slightly curved band of whitisii, the area outside 

 which is pale below vein 6, and has a darkish crcnulate subterminal line in it. 

 Secondary with a dark dash closing the cell, an angled crenulated dark medial 

 line followed by the darkish postmedial line, with a white centre, which is angled 

 between veins 3 and 4, subterminal area greyish in the excised area. 



Expanse : c? and ? , 58 mm.
