with projecting peak of scales ; palpi porrect, well-scaled, the segments indistinct ; 

 tongne and frennjnm present ; hiudtiliiae with fonr spnrs ; snbmediau vein of 

 forewing of c? swollen at base into a small fovea. 



Xeiirafion : forewing, cell nearly half the length of wing ; discocellnlar vertical, 

 but strongly ol)li(ine below; first median nervnle at four-tifths, second just before 

 third; radials normal, 5 slightly above centre; 7, 8, 9 stalked; 10 anastomosing 

 at a point with 11, wliich rises from 12: hindwing, 7 and 'i well before angles 

 of cell. 



Type : l.oxoti'j/ltria olivacea spec. nov. 



Tephrina ! converyeits AN'arr., from West China, described from a ? only 

 (J\oi\ Zool. vi. p. 61, 1899), should be placed in this genus. 



2(1. Loxotephria olivacea spec. nov. 



In markings resembling convergens Warr., but the ground-colour of the wings 

 is olive-yellowish, sometimes (piite green along cell and below costa of forewing ; 

 costa with short pui-plish striae ; first line red or red-brown, the angle in cell 

 touching the red cell-mark ; outer line red-brown, externally edged with lustrous 

 pearly scales ; submarginal line olive-green ; the marginal space beyond it darker, 

 and covered with lustrous violet ; fringe brown, with red-brown basal and middle lines. 



llindwiiiq : without the basal line ; the other two straight and jjarallel. 



Underside deep bright yellow ; striae and lines purple-red ; the marginal cloud 

 jjurplish-violet, and stronger in the S than in the ?. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen like wings ; face brown. 



Expanse of wings : S, 28 mm. ; ? , 30 mm. 



Several examples from Manchyo and Secha, Hainan, May and June 1902. 



L. converf/ens from West China is darker, browner, and has a brown subcostal 

 streak through the angles of the lines of forewing. 



Subfamily ASCOTINAE. 

 21. Amblychia schistacea spec. nov. 



Forewing : dark slate-colour ; the lines and interval between outer and 

 submarginal lines deeper ; inner line curved, j)rojpcting strongly above median, 

 and less prominently below, edged inwardly by ])aler slate-colour and whitish. 

 There are also some whitish flakes on costa and in cell between the inner and 

 median lines ; interval between median and outer lines from costa to vein 3 

 occnpied by a cream-white blotch speckled with slate-colour, followed below 3 by 

 a large white blotch filling up the lunule of median line ; the lunule below it 

 white-edged ; cell-spot black, nearly touching the inner edge of the white blotch ; 

 fringe brown-slate. 



lUmhriiKj : similar, with only a few whitish flakes beyond antemedian line, 

 those in cell most conspicuous, and a white lunule between veins 7 and 8. 



Underside with basal area of both wings ])ale greyish slate, varied with dull 

 ochrcous and speckled with darker ; outer area of both wings slaty fuscous, the 

 white markings well expressed in forewing, obscurely in hindwing. 



Head and shoulders dark slaty fuscous ; ])atagia, thorax, and abdomen pale 

 dirty ochreous. 



Expanse of wings : 104 mm.
