151. Pseudalcis cinerascens Warr., Nov. Zool. IV. p. 97. 



In the series of this insect from I'ulo Laut, south of Borneo, there was no ? . 

 Along with two S c? taken by Doherty at Tawaya, north of Palos Bay, Celebes, comes 

 a single ? which, though decidedly ditierent in appearance, evidently belongs here. 

 The ground-colour is whitish — not fuscous grey — irrorated with 2)ale olive-grey, and 

 with all the lines and edges of the discal sjiots olive-grey. The underside as in the 

 S , but paler. 



Expanse of wings : 45 mm. only, the smaller of the two 66 being 52 mm., the 

 larger 02 mm., the same as the Pulo Laut examples. 



152. Pseudalcis (?) pectinata Warr., Nov. Zool. IV. p. 07. 



The (? of this species agrees with the ? , except on the underside, which, 

 instead of lieing smoky brown, is whitish throughout, with a dai'k grey subniarginiil 

 shade, most distinct below costa of forewiug. The ? originally described was from 

 Warri, U. Niger ; the cT is from Nandi, Uganda Protectorate, dated December 1690 

 (Dr. Ansorge).
