to close to enil of cell : (i aud 7 stalkeil : discocellular oblique : radial from the 

 centre ; first median at oue-half, second at four-fifths. 



T3'pe : Propitkex alternata sp. nov. 



Allied to Chaetolophu Warr.. but the discocellular of hindwings oblique, not 

 angled.

Forewingi : pale pearl-grey, with very fine dark dusting : a purplish brown band 

 at one-third, broader on costa than on inner margin, and edged on both sides witli 

 pale yellow ; outer third of wing purplish grey, limited by a straight oblique yellow 

 line almost parallel to hiudmargin, the dark tint being deepest ne.^t the line ; a 

 faint whitish straight submarginal shade, followed again by deeper purplish ; veins 

 towards hindmargiu yellowish : fringe grey chequered with purple. 



Hindwings : uniform dull ochreous yellow, with a faint paler postmedian 

 streak ; fringe dark grey. 



Underside of forewings dull coppery red, speckled with black along costa, 

 and marked with black between the veins towards the apex, with two white 

 spots one above the other ; a pale straight yellow band, distinct only near costa. 

 corresi)Ouding to the yellow line of the upper side ; hindwings jjurplish grey, 

 flecked with whitish : the veins and cell fulvous ; a curved yellowish postmedian 

 band, and a submarginal band of whitish spots between the veins. Thorax and 

 abdomen olive-grey, face and tips of palpi whitish, palpi externally olive-brown.

One c? from Ron Island, July 1897 (Doherty). 



liKi. Triphosa moniliferaria Oberth. ab. depleta nov. 



In this form, which appears very rare, — only one out of forty-two specimens 

 from Ta-tsien-lu, — the abbreviated dark costal half of the central fascia is still 

 further reduced to a simple black oblique mark from middle of costa, formed 

 by the cell-spot being confluent with a black costal spot above it. 



One c? from Ta-tsien-lu, West China. 



Subfamily: DEILINIINAE. 

 Chloroctenis gen. nov. 



Very closely related to AploMora Warr., but, whereas that genus has the 

 antennae perfectly simple, even in the S, the ? of this has them shortly pectinated ; 

 those of the S, which I have not- yet met with, will almost certainly be more 

 strongly pectinated. The palpi also differ, being short, thick, and decumbent, with 

 the third joint hidden in the scaling ; neuration of Aplochloru. 



Type : Chloroctenis similis sp. nov. 



lul. Chloroctenis similis sp. nov. 



Forewings : dull mealy green, with a dark cell-spot and pale green fringe. 

 Hindwings : similar : the hiudmargin faintly elbowed at nnddle. 

 Underside throughout uniform pale flesh-colour, the fringes greenish. Head, 

 thorax, and abdomen apparently concolorons.
