NOVTTATES ZOOLOGICAE XXV. 1918. 79 



Dedicated to my kind helpers, Rev. Charles Rich Nelson Burrows and 

 Frank Nelson Pierce, to whose investigations I owe the discovery that the ^ 

 genitalia are quite different from those of convectaria, of which otherwise I should 

 have supposed it a subspecies. Indeed, it is unique in the genus, so far as at 

 present known, in the long, divided uncus. Further distinguished from con- 

 vectaria in having the costa as long as valve (in convectaria half as long) and in 

 the sacculus, which has the upper (hard) part fused with the lower, whereas in 

 convectaria it is not fused. The antennal jjectinations appear slightly longer 

 than in convectaria and continued a few joints further distally. 



7. Timandra oligoscia sp. nov. 



(J, 35 mm. Face red, mixed with black, narrowly pale below. Palpus 

 mostly pale. Vertex and antennal shaft whitish. Collar dark brown. Thoiax, 

 abdomen and legs concolorous with wings. 



Foreiving moderately broad, with costa well arched distally ; SC arising 

 well before apex of areole ; pale wood-colour, with very fine grey irroration ; 

 proximal half of costal margin rather strongly shaded with grey, yet not so 

 conspicuously dark as in convectaria Walk., nelsoni Prout and correspendens 

 Hmpsn. ; first line obsolete ; cell-dot rather strong ; the oblique rufous line 

 rather fine, running to a short dark mark at anterior extremity of distal margin, 

 not (as in the species named) to distal end of costa ; submarginal grey line ex- 

 tremely fine and weak, scarcely traceable in its anterior half, little sinuate ; 

 terminal line reddish, very slender ; fringe pale, tipped with pink and with an 



oblique pink mark at apex. Hindwing with the taU at R' moderately strong ; 



no cell-spot ; the oblique red line normal ; outer grey line fine, but better deve- 

 loped than on forewing, shaped as in convectaria ; terminal line and fringe as 

 on forewing, except at apex. 



Underside very heavily irrorated, especially in proximal half of forewing, 

 where the irroration is partly confluent into suffusions ; costal margin of fore- 

 wing yellowish ; markings of upperside present, dark grey or blackish, the 

 submarginal line, especially of forewing, better developed than above ; fringes 

 tipped with pink as above. 



Vrianatong, Tibet. Type in coU. L. B. Prout. 



Presumably near correspendens, more dusky, beneath more irrorated, first 

 line wanting, postmedian weaker, on hindwing bent. Intermediate towards some 

 of the Japanese forms which at present stand united as comptaria Walk., but 

 which may probably embrace two or three species. 



8. Ptochophyle exitela sp. nov. 



<J, 24-26 mm. Head and body concolorous with wings, the face, fillet and 

 base of antenna more whitish. Foreleg in part tinged with red. 



Forewing fairly broad, apex not very sharp, termen faintly subcrenulate, 

 curved, anteriorly less oblique than in the allies ; areole moderately long, SC 

 just stalked with the other subcostals, R' from about middle of DC ; cream- 

 colour with a tinge of buff and with vague vinaceous irrorations and suffusions ; 

 irroration strongest in the costal region, where also, especially towards the base, 

 the ground-colour becomes more buff ; a few rather noticeable costal dots in 

 distal part ; cell-dot rather large, nearly round, blackish ; faint traces of a
