28. Ptychopoda squamipimctata sp. nov. 



Foi'c/rit'pg : flesh-coloured grey, slightly dusted with darker ; the lines 

 hardly darker ; first at one-third, starting from a small black costal spot ; outer 

 at three-fourths, vertical, a little darker at costa and inner margin, followed by 

 two faint submargiual shades ; fringe coucolorous, with distinct donble specks of 

 black scales at base beyond the veins ; cellspot dark, indistinct. 



Ilindiciny^ : similar. 



Underside paler ; the outer line faintly expressed. Face and palpi brown ; 

 vertex, thorax, and abdomen concolorons. 



Expanse of wings : 17 mm. 



One ? from Mount Avjuuo, Java (W. DohertyJ. 



The hindmargins of both wings are subcrenulate. Allied to actiosaria Wlk. 



29. Xenocentris incolorata ab. taeniata nov. 



The specimen here described as an aberration differs considerably from either 

 of the other ii seen. It is pale ochreous without any distinct lines, but this may 

 be dne to its somewhat wasted condition. The basal half of costa is marked with 

 purplish-fuscous scales ; the cellspot is large and distinct ; before the hindmargin 

 is a waved purplish fuscous fascia, corresponding to what in the typical <?<? is the 

 dark grey shade preceding the submarginal line. 



Hindwings : the same. Both wings dusted with purplish scales. The fringes 

 are quite obliterated. 



Underside like upper. All else as in the type ; the tuft of hind-tibiae long 

 and purjjlish. 



Expanse of wings : 13 mm. 



One c? from the Kei Islands, March 1897 (H. Kiihn). 



3(1 Xenocentris mimica sp. nov. 



Sujieriicially exactly like Iliinipoyoit nanata Warr., described from the 

 Tenimber Islands, and of which I have since seen a pair from Ceylon ; differing in 

 having the 6 antennae armed with long ciliatious instead of their being merely 

 pubescent, and the hindwings beneath simply scaled, not clothed with hairs. One 

 S from Penungah, Borneo, December 1893, considerably worn. A ? from Mount 

 Dulit, N. Borneo (Hose), perfect except for the absence of abdomen, may almost 

 certainly be referred to the same species. This is dull greyish brown, darker than 

 typical H. nanata, and with the markings indistinct ; both inner and outer lines are 

 darker on costa and inner margin in both wings ; the cellspots are blackish and 

 distinct ; and the base of the fringe, which is concolorous with the wings, has 

 a row of distinct but minute dark dots. The underside is paler, more grey, marked 

 only with cellspots and outer line. 



"Expanse of wings : i 10 mm., ¥ 17 mm. 



One c? Penungah, N. Borneo, and one ? Mt. Dulit, N. Borneo, 1000 to 4000 ft. 

 (Hose). 



Subfamily TEPHROCLYSTIINAE. 



31. Rhinoprora palpata ab. decolorata nov. 



In this form all the green tints are absent, being replaced by pinkish grey, 

 the whole wing having a glossy appearance ; tlie edges of the basal patch and
