pale, whitish testaceous color; the basal line distinct; the pale stripe 

 along the subcostal nervure is more diffuse and absorbs the ordinary 

 spots superiorly, these latter larger, the reniform more elongated and 

 attenuated ; the terminal space is wider ; the pale coloration which ex- 

 tends, bordering the second and third median nervules, into the termi- 

 nal space and nearly to external margin in both sexes of A. quadriden- 

 tata, in A. cicatricosa merely attains the subterminal line. The poste- 

 rior wings are whiter, immaculate, without any darker shade bands, 

 merely showing a faint testaceous tinge. In the 9 A. quadridentata, 

 the costa is greyish, darker than in the % where it is whitish testaceous, 

 and very similar to $ A. cicatricosa in this respect, the species being 

 near allied, but sufficiently distinct. 



ANARTA, Oehs. 

 Anarta luteola, n. sp. (Plate 3, fig. 5, % ; fig. 6, £ reverse.) 



Anterior wings black, powdered with greyish scales terminally and 

 basally. 



Basal space large ; basal line oblique, black; transverse anterior line 

 nearly straight, slightly dentate. Median space black, especially infe- 

 riorly, — while showing a brownish shade centrally and superiorly; or- 

 bicular spot concolorous with median space, with an encircling black 

 line, moderate, of the normal shape ; reniform large and prominent, 

 whitish, very distinctly contrasted with the dark squammation of the 

 rest of the wing, of the normal shape. Transverse anterior line pro- 

 jected superiorly outside of the reniform spot, making the median space 

 wide above, and approaching the transverse anterior line below the 

 median vein. 



Subterminal and terminal spaces powdered with greyish scales ; sub- 

 terminal line black, irregular; fringes blackish, interrupted very Dar- 

 rowly with pale hairs at the extremity of the nervules. 



Posterior wings clear yellow, with a broad neatly defined black bor- 

 der, equally wide; fringes pale. 



Under surface of both wings blackish, largely covered with yellow 

 scales on the discs ; the latter color on posterior pair covers the entire 

 surface of the wing and internal margin as on the upper surface. 



Antennae black, simple, finely scaled on their under surface ; head 

 and prothorax covered with mixed brownish and blackish hair, rather 

 paler than those covering the thorax and abdomen, latter with paler
