Forewinqs : wliitisli gi'ey, irrorateJ with olive-fuscons striae ; tlie lines olive- 

 fuscous ; first at one-fourth, twice outwards curved, to inner margin near base ; 

 median line thick, sinuous ; outer line at two-thirds, dentate and ontcnrved opposite 

 cell, followed b}- a diffuse olive-fuscous shade ; submarginal line pale, indistinct, 

 preceded and followed by a series of dark blotches, interrupted between veins 3 and 4, 

 and darker opposite the cell : a marginal row of squarish black spots between the 

 veins ; fringe olive, with the tips white, and white throughout at the ends of the 

 veins ; cell-spot olive, with thick black edges, tridentate. 



Hindwings : .like forewings. 



Underside dull stone-grey, with the apex dull lilackish ; costa spotted with

Several SS and one ?, the latter much worn, from Pulo Laut, S.E. of Borneo, 

 May 1891 (W. Doherty). 



Closely allied to Fseiulalcis cinerasnens from the same locality ; smaller and 

 paler, and differing in neuration : in cinerascens vein li.» is shortl}' stalked with 

 T, 8, 9 ; in catoriata it is free from the cell. 



228. Pseudalcis cinerascens sp. nov. 



Forewings : fuscous grey, with darker irroration : the costa with black strigae ;

 two-thirds, evenly curved and strongly dentate, edged with paler and followed by a 

 diffusely lunate shade ; submarginal line pale, denticulate, preceded by a dark denti- 

 culate shade and followed by an obscure row of darlc patches, except on the third 

 median ; a row of blackish marginal lunules between the veins ; fringe fuscous. 



Iliudtvings : with no basal line: the central line becomes antemeilian, touchinu-

 generally by a much darker and broader shade than in the forewings. 



Underside stone-grey, with broad blackish margin to the forewings, narrowed 

 to the anal angle : tlie hindwings with a submarginal dark fascia bent at the cell

Expanse of wings : 02 mm. 



A series of S S, bat no ?, from Pulo Laut, May 1891 (W. Doherty). 



229. Pseudalcis (?) pectinata sp. nov. 



Foreioings : whitish, suffused aud coarsely striated with dark grey ; first line
