brown spot, acntel}- angled on subcostal vein, then obliqne to inner margin at one- 

 fourth; second line from a similar triangular spot at two-thirds, bluntly angled on 

 vein 6, then oblique, and marked by brown vein-dots to inner margin at middle, 

 where it is thickened and dark brown; cell-spot cloudy, greyish; a very faint brown 

 median sliade, reaching inner margin close to outer line, and there brown; submarginal 

 line interrupted, marked by three brown teeth below costa, and an irregnlar brown 

 dentate mark before anal angle; a straight grey-brown line from costa just before 

 submarginal line, intersecting the angle of outer line and touching submarginal 

 again at inner margin ; a pale brownish marginal suffusion at middle ; marginal 

 line dark brown ; fringe ochreous. 



Hindwings : with diffuse brownish antemedian shade, before an ocelloid cell- 

 spot with dark grey edge ; a postmedian pale brown dentate line, the teeth marked 

 with dark dots on veins ; a faint submarginal brownish shade. 



Underside with the markings more distinct, deep ferruginous ; both cell-spots 

 large, dark brown ; the straight outer line well marked, with a yellowish patch 

 beyond it at costa, and the intersected angle of second line forming a brown loop 

 with it. Head, thorax, and abdomen ochreous ; shoulders brown, like base of costa ; 

 palpi brownish. 



Expanse of wings : 46 mm. 



One (?, January 9, 1897. 



Casbia scardamiata sp. nov. 



Forewings : greyish flesh-colour, with numerous fine black transverse striae ; 

 crossed by five orange-fulvous fasciae, slightly curved and waved ; first at one-fifth, 

 second at one-third, third at two-thirds, fourth, broader and clearer, at four-fifths, 

 fifth marginal ; base of wing slightly fulvous-tinged ; discocellular spot bright 

 metallic ; a row of black marginal dashes between the veins ; fringe pinkish fulvous. 



Hindwings : similar : the two antemedian fasciae obscure. 



Underside pale dull yellowish, with a broad purplish fuscous marginal ])and. 

 Head, thorax, and abdomen -pinkish fulvous ; face and palpi darker fnlvons. 



E.xpanse of wings : 26 mm. 



One ?, 1891. 



Prionia obliquilineata Warr. ab. mediusta nov. 



In this form the lines themselves of the forewings are not expressed, but the 

 whole space between them is occupied by a rich dark brown cloud, palino- off 

 towards the costa. 



In another example the lines are distinct as usual, and only the inner half of 

 the median interval is invaded by the brown suffusion. 



Two specimens along with five more of the type-form, including ? ? . 



It remains to add some observations on the synonymy of a few of the described 

 insects above enumerated.
