.Subfamily STEHRHINAE. 

 9. Problepsis attenuata spec nov. 



Diflers fioiu P. deliaria Giieii. in having the ear-shaped iliscal marking not 

 dosed and separated from the anuuhis on inner margin, the olive-brown ed^e 

 running coutiuuonsly ; the portion above median is very much narrower, being, 

 in tact, only slightly wider than on inner margin, the whole placed much more 

 obliquely ; some silvery scales appear along inner margin as in deliaria. 



The marking of the hindwing resembles tiiat of d-Uarin, but it is also 

 narrower, and the metallic scales on it are darker ; it runs obliijueiy from 

 vein 5 to inner margin, continuing tlie obliipie marking of forewing, with some 

 silvery scales along inner margin to outer line. Tlie abdomen also ditlers in beiuii- 

 marked on dorsum with dark fuscous, except on basal segment, whereas in diliaria 

 it is wholly white. 



Expanse of wings : 3.") mm. 



1 S from Merkara, 8. India, August lil04. 



In the continuity of the central markings this species resembles ddphiaria 

 Guen., which also has the dorsum darker ; but that species has the marking of 

 forewing broad and rounded, and the antennae clothed with sessile fascicles of long 

 curled cilia instead of jiedicellate fascicles. 



M. Somatina discata spec. nov. 



Forewing : dull white, slightly grey-speckled ; markings much as \\\ idijiiasaria, 

 Wlk., but much paler ; costa, as in that species, dull reddish, more broadly before 

 ape.x ; celI-sj)ot large, black, and round ; a fine marginal line, preceded by a row of 

 small dark dots between veins ; a brown shade at anal angle. 



Ilimhcimj : whiter, with only the marginal markings distinct ; the cell-spot 

 black, not so large as in forewing. 



Underside white, with the outer lines, cell-spots, and marginal spots black ; 

 Ibrewiugs speckled slightly with darker, the costa ochreous grev. 



Head, palpi, and antennae black ; collar rufous ; thorax and abdomen white. 



Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 



1 S from Cheng-Mai, Hainan, July 1902. 



Smaller and paler than -S. ph/namria ; iu the large dark cell-spot it resembles 

 Somatinopsis Hi<jridiscata Warr., but the hindtibiae are without spurs. 



Srui-AMiLY HYDKIOMENINAE. 

 11. Epirrhoe subinarginata sjicc. nov. 



Foreuiuy : whitish grey, the markings dark olive, the lines blackish; the 

 baud between basal patch and central fascia partially pale grey, otherwise the 

 whole wing to outer line is dull olive ; the fascia contains a dark cell-spot and two 

 or three darker waved lines, forming annuli towards inner margin ; its outer edge is 

 angled on vein and forms a bilobed projection between 2 and 4 ; it is followed by 

 a distinct white band with dark middle line, and edged by a dentate-luuulate line ; 

 marginal area olive, containing a regularly lunulate white submarginal line, 

 the lunnles edged outwardly with black ; pairs of black marginal spots ut ends
