Pityeja piira >p. nov. 



Ground colour pure white, not orange; markings the fame as in hisirionarid 

 II. i^., but rather more distinct. In the hindwings tlie orange is confined to the 

 marginal area, and tlie black markings in it are plainer. 



Both sexes, without locality, from the Felder collection. 



Druce treats this as a mere form of histrionarla, and speaks of the orange 

 tint as variable ; but iu all the examples in the liothscliild collection the orange is 

 similarly restricted, while in all the specimens of hiatrionaria that I have seen the 

 whole hindwing is orange. 



Thinopteryx citrina sp. nov. 



Like praetm'wria Feld., from the Philippines, with which it has hitherto been 

 confounded ; in size it is decidedly smaller. The whole of the under surface of both 

 wings is clouded with dull grey blotches. In the forewings the first line is nearly 

 straight, and reaches the inner margin well before the middle ; whereas in jn'aetorariit 

 this line is very distinctly bent outwards in its lower half, and reaches the inner 

 margin about in the middle. 



Common in Sikkim and Xorth India. 



Thinopteryx praetoraria Feld. {Reise Nov., PI. CXXIL, fig. 13, ?). 

 The tyjie, from the Felder collection, is a very large example ; a ? , from the 

 Philippines, quite distinct from the pale Indian form which has been hitherto mis- 

 taken for it. It may be distinguished at once from all the other forms by the shape 

 of its basal line, which is not, as iu the rest, straight, but sinuous. The underside is 

 pure clear yellow, witii only the sulimarginal fascia dark ; in the pale yellow form 

 from North India, citrina Warr., the whole under surface is varied with dull grey 

 blotches. In the Eothschild collection is also a 6 from .S. Celebes, which agrees well 

 with the Phili[ipines type. 



Pareumelea gen. no\-. 



Forewings ample ; costa strongly convex ; apex blunt ; hindmargin obliquely 

 curved ; in cJ with a slight elbow opi)osite the cell ; hindwings rounded. (In the i 

 of one species the forewings have two slight concavities, and a prominence below the 

 apex ; the hindmargin thence cut straight off to the anal angle.) Palpi ascending : 

 second joint thickly scaled; terminal joint smaller, distinct, smooth ; antennae of c? 

 subserrate beneath, and shortly ciliated ; neither the antennae nor the legs nearly so 

 long as in Ewtaelea. Hindwings without a radial ; hind tibiae somewhat thickened. 



Tyjje : Pareumelea fimbriate Cram.

 Angeronopsis gen. nov. 

 Foi-ewings ample ; costa nearly straight : apex blunt, not produced ; hindmargin 

 strongly curved ; anal angle well marked. Hindwings with full rounded hindmargin ; 

 6 antennae three-fourths as long as forewings, filiform, minutely subdentate beneath, 

 with very short fine bristles; these in ? hardly perceptible; palpi thick, hairy 

 beneath, slightly upcurved to face ; terminal juiiil invisilile ; tongue present. Neura- 

 tion as in I'alyais. 



Type: A. perteu'tariu lliib. (Ilypoplectis).
