In Nov. ZooL. III. ]i. 391, 1 proposed to refer recensitaria Wlk. and emarginaria 

 Hiiipsa. to Mirndia ; they are, however, better placed in Dnsimatia, in which the 

 whole underside of the hindwin£fs is clothed with roujj;h hairs. 



2.'). Tephroclystia foedatipennis sp. nov. 



Foretcings ; dingy fnscous, with the usual markings slightly darker, but very 

 obscure ; the edges of the central fascia, especially the outer which is angled at 

 veins 4 and 6, are inwardly preceded by a dark shade ; the usual paler bands on 

 each side of it, and the submargiual line are slightly paler ; marginal line black, 

 interrupted by j)ale dots at the vein ends : fringe fuscous ; cell-spot black. 



Hindiriiigx : the same. 



Underside whitish, smeared with grey ; the base of forewings, the cell-spots, 

 postmedian bands, and marginal fasciae dark fuscous or blackish. Head, thorax, 

 and abdomen all fuscous. 



Expanse of wings : 22 mm. 



One ? from Padang Kengas, Malay Peninsula. 



This very inconspicuous species is something of the same tint as T. nijata, 

 but more fnscous : besides the great difference of the underside, it may be dis- 

 tinguished by the much shorter and broader wings as in T. pggmaeata. The single 

 remaining hind-tibia appears to have only one, long, middle spur, but this is 

 probably accidental. 



Subfamily BRACCINAE. 

 26. Bursada percurrens sp. nov. 



Like qnndri partita Wlk., but with the following difference : the projection 

 from the anal angle, which in that species reaches half across the hindwing and 

 ends in a point, is here developed into a complete black curved band, dividing the 

 yellow area into two parts, one basal, the other postmedian, and oblunate in shape. 



One ? from Teoor, October 1899 (H. Kiihu). 



Subfamily ASCOTINAE. 



27. Alcis invenustaria ab. suffosaria nov. 



Mr. Leech, in Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. 1897, i. p. 324, describes a form from 

 China, in which the black markings and brown bands are darker and more 

 prominent ; this form, sinicaria, is exactly the opposite of that to which I jiro|iose 

 to give the name si/Jf'usai-ia. Among eleven cJ 6 from Yokohama, whence probably 

 came the original type-specimen of invenustaria in Fryer's Collection, occurs one 

 in which all black markings are absent, and the upper surface of both wings sufl'used 

 with dull grey in which even the brown markings are almost lost. The species must 

 be transferred to A/cis, the forewings of the cJ having a well-develojied fovea, and 

 the tongue being present though comparatively small; veins lu and 11 are 

 coincident throughout. 



28. Alcis molata sp. nov. 



Forewings : greyish white with an ochreous tiuge, covered with dense 

 transverse blackish fuscous striae ; the lines lilack, starting from costal blotclies ;
