teyond face. Xeuratiwi normal; in tlie rf forewings the unconnected oblique bar 

 exists in the sjjot where the fovea usually stands, as in Genussa Wlk. and other 

 allied genera. Wings white with darker veins and no other markings. 



Type : N. selectata Guen. (Scona). 



In several of the species which I have placed in this genus the ? S are not 

 at present known, and their yiosition must therefore be considered provisional only. 



Neuromelia ( ? ) fumosa sp. nov. 



Larger tluin X. sei'icea ; smoky grey, darker along costa anrl hindmargin of 

 forewings ; veins darker; costa, at the base itself, black; thorax and abdomen 

 coneolorous ; face yellowish. Underside mealy white; forelegs externallj' tinged 

 with fuscous. In tlie forewings the apex is imusually rounded. 



Two cJ S from Sout h America. 



The generic position must remain doubtful till the ? is known. 



Neuromelia (?j obfuscata sp. nov. 



As large as festiva (Jrarn., but dull grey ; not so smoky as in furaosa Warr. ; 

 veins yellowish ; costa of forewings black frc/ni base to apex ; face dark fuscous ; apex 

 of forewings produced, blunt ; hindmargin oblique. Underside yellowish white ; 

 legs, on the outside, black. 



One c? from South America ; ? not seen. 



Neuromelia sericea sfj. no\. 



Larger than N. inipositorifi, Wlk. ; costa of forewings narrowlv black fi'om base 

 to near ajiex : costa itself straigliter than in impositoria ; apex rounder ; hindmargin 

 less ohlique. Underside white ; antennae and tarsi black, or black marked. 



A pair from South America.

The type of ponderata Feld. from Cochin China is certainly referable to the 

 Indian species, and not to superans Butler. Besides the difference in the direction 

 of the exterior line as it leaves the costa, the Indian species always shows a large 

 distinct cell spot above, which is only visible beneath in the Japanese species. 

 Col. Swinhoe's identification of Moore's /oWissima, of which do* only are known, 

 with Walker's earlier species, represented by ? ? only, is undoubtedlv correct.
